I believe that the 2011 Ranger is in heavy consideration for a globalized vehicle here in the States. Especially with Ford 4Trac concept over in Thailand recently. It is very similar to the current Ranger that is found in Asia and Europe. Plus the fact that Ford loves to boast the Ranger's fuel efficiency and would not want that title taken. In my opinion, it just seems to fit together that way, but I could be completely wrong.
What you're saying makes good sense. I've always wondered why Ford and the rest of the Big Three didn't do more of this over the years. It makes a lot more sense. Even if it was just the platforms as they are doing with some products.
