In a pleasant turn of events, Ford Motor Company invited seven Ranger owners from Internet based enthusiasts web sites to a round table talk in order to build a better Ranger. Ford Motor Company flew Robert Rod (www.fordranger.com Sysadmin), Russ Parker (2.3L Admin www.fordranger.com), Malcolm Strydom (v8 Admin www.fordranger.com), Jim Karnes (Sysadmin www.rangerpowersports.com), Allan DeGroot and Mike Donofrio to Dearborn, Michigan to meet with Ford engineers.

Several of the guests have written their impression of the trip which can be found on the www.fordranger.com site at: http://www.fordranger.com/RangerProgram.html .
