Finale...

I read in the paper today that the last one rolls off tomorrow(Friday the 16th) morning at around 930am...
I think its a big blunder by Ford and seriously hope it does return to the US market like the Taurus did...

Good thing there are millions of Rangers still hanging around, no shortage of them for sale. If they weren't going to change the design or offer new options I'm glad to see it go.

I'd like to see how the next 5 years will play out though.

But overall, I don't care. I already own a Ranger, and I don't plan on getting rid of it or buying another one

Really wanted to go down to the plant and watch it but was at work on rotation in Alaska and didn't get home in time. Was also sad to miss the private plant tour for the engineers out of Duluth a few months ago-left MSP to go back to work that day. KARE 11 has a video clip of the last one departing the plant, it was ordered by the Orkin man. Sad day indeed!

I wish I had known about the tours...I tried to get ahold of someone who could help to no avail...all I heard was from a gal in Dearborn that the only tours offered is the Rouge...I saw a pic of the 'new' non american Ranger...Im not impressed...looks like an F150 to me...
if theres a way to get parts of the building or stuff from inside...banners or whatnot...holler...
I drove through St Paul in August...in wee hours though...
