GM is bringing over their international version of the Colorado/Canyon, with a diesel, which is a direct competitor for the T6 Ranger.

More than likely, Ford will wait and see how that sells. If it sells well, they'll bring over the T6. If it flops, then there will be no reason for them to bring the Ranger over.

The Colorado comes next year, so that means I wouldn't expect a new Ranger until at least 2015 or beyond (if they decide to bring it over).

Most people don't want to hear it, but I think, as far as Ford is concerned, the replacement for the Ranger is the Transit Connect small van. The largest purchasers of Rangers were delivery companies and other small fleets/small businesses. That was a niche the Transit Connect took over quite readily.
