I noticed that Florida now uses the FX4 Rangers in their Forestry Division. They are tough looking trucks after being seen coming out of the woods around here. I suppose they changed over to them for fuel economy and better movement due to the smaller size.

"Yeah", the S-10 and it's gay cuison the colorodo. Ranger's do really well off-road, thats why I wheel one, thier small size is allmost jeep like in tight places. Not to mention that thier tuff as nails. The ranger is a real sucess story for ford, instead of building on that sucess, they want to kill it. You would of thought that the taurus would of taught them something !!!

I think there nuts anyway for even thinking about killing the ranger with gas at 3 bucks a gallon, the prices will get worse, not better. The ranger gives people an alternitive who need a truck, but can't afford gas for a f-150 and thats gonna be more and more people I'm afraid .

heck ......even if they kept the ranger, i couldn't afford to buy one. i can barely afford to buy the $3.00 a gallon gas for the old ('87) ranger. i'll just have to keep my old one, thats one way of keepin um alive.

well i love my ranger, but im facing one heck of a problem. I am getting my granddaughter and step daughter to go along with the stepdaughter i already have. that leaves me with three kids and a wife. i cant fit them across the bench seat in my regular cab and they just plain wont fit in the extended cab ranger.. i dont want to spend the gas on a f150 so what am i to do..Dodge stinks worse than the landfill on a hot summerafternoon.. i went and looked at the colorado and its just as tight unless i buy the four door cab with a four foot bed on the back... thats so big i cant even carry my lunch pail in there.. now toyota offers the four door pickup in the six foot bed which is barely big enough ( i really want a seven or eight foot bed but hey) so im going to test drive it. I hate i mean really HATE to have to look at this truck but if it fits the bill of what i need, im going to have to buy it. That is todays problem with the manufacturers they dont have what the buying public needs or wants...

Ranger1999 you could always go with a exployer Sporttrak. I know they don't have the biggest bed but they do have pleanty of room inside. It is based off of the EXPLOYER SUV. and well all know that is just a Ranger with a camper shell!
