[quote=Evan99;7914036]Ford really needs to do something with the small truck program which is falling behind other companys [quote]
what? are you kidding? falling behind? the Ranger is by far the best priced, no nonsense, down to earth truck that i think blows the balls off other brands.
I'm not going judge the truck until I see the finshed product. Ford really needs to do something with the small truck program which is falling behind other companys so I'm just gonna wait and see.
What I think would be logical:
Give the Ranger a more conventional look
call it the NEW F100
downside, it may not attract other small truck buyers but get a few F150 owners to move down....

Ya im down with a more conventional look if that means a more Ford truck like look (ie square nosed as oposed to round and "far east" scew flathead look). Know i said it a few times but id like to see it grow to midsize, especially as it gonna be a world truck platform. (No F series for us)

I like Rangers and think they are great little trucks, but this new prototype one is ugly has hell. I hate all the new over bloated futuristic looking styles the designers think are so cool. In my opinion they are not cool at all. Alot of them just look cheap.
I do not think the Ranger should grow to a mid size truck, they need to be what they always have been for good fuel economy. I do think that Ford would be smart to make something like a Dakota though, but they shouldn't mess with the Ranger. If they made something like a Dakota they should call it the F100, or what about just F1?
Alot of companies use them for errand or delivery runners and to make them bigger makes no sense at all.

I would be all for the Reanger to grow to a mid size, to compete. They just have to give us the little turbo deisel to go with it. No matter what it looks like. We need to get the Turbo deisel to make everyone happy..
