You said and I quote "In 97, the last year the ranger had a manual t-case and lockouts available, only 9% of 4x4 rangers were ordered that way, 91% were ordered with the electric shift t-case and autohubs."

My guess is the 91% was stock orders for the dealership lots with the other 9% being ordered from the buyers themselves.

It would be interesting to know for sure how the numbers really break down.

Also you missed the point of this thread.

The point is what does Ford need to do to become #1 in the world in selling Vehicles and having the best product people and reputation?
