... not to mention competition from over seas... seems logical that another company would pick up the Ram... at the same time it makes me a little sad to see such huge chunks of GM going to the unions and federal govt. Never was much for socialism. Viva la Ford! *smirk*
I'm just thrilled that Ford is doing as well as they are and I'm genuinely curious to see what they've got in the pipe for the mid size market. Between fuel prices, people who want a 4x4 daily driver that fits in a regular garage...and how impressively ford has been adapting to changing markets over the last few years...I think whatever they have for us will be competitive.

 

Why cant they at least just bring the crew cab Rangers they sell in Mexico up here? it would cost next to nothin and would give Ford a proven and very desirable and small truck in a class of its own...

The Ranger keeps going and going and going... I'm not so sure IT'S dead!... It was supposed to be dead a few years ago...

On to a different subject, Ram has name value.. so does Power Wagon.... and they always will... If Dodge dies, someone will want those names... if nothing else...

Hummer is out there too, if AMG doesnt absorb it... and if Ram gets out there, Jeep will be again too... Jeep would be a great pick up for Ford... Come to think of it, Ford would be great for Jeep too! bye bye crappy crossovers! Hello Gladiator!

Besides, 66/77 Bronco fans would have a heyday gloating over the jeepsters if Ford got a hold of the brand... wahaha

Let there be no doubt... FORD IS KING!

 

And why not???

 

Those crew cab rangers are everywhere but the US. Wonder why they dont just send them over. I imagine they would do quite well if priced accordingly.

 

They don't pass the NHTSA standards in collisions. Same was the s-10 crews in the nineties. But the trucks were changed so they could be sold in the US.

 

i would like a supercrew ranger 4x4. i like my daily driver supercab ranger 4x4... so more room is even better!

 

im gonna have to highly disagree, i drive an olderish f150 and its falling apart on me, everytime i fix something, something even worse goes. ive been around for 4 of my dads dodges, a dakota that was rolled, 2 rams, and a durango, never seen any problems with any of them, had some trouble with an intrepid but nothing too serious. not to mention when i get stuck, the buddy i call drives a dodge, only problem was a broken strap once after i was already out

 

well my friend your dad has the best LUCK with dodge of anyone in the world.... and luck is all you can call it. if you offered me a brand new dodge or my 82 F-100 id take the dodge sell it and buy my truck back and have plenty of gas money for her

 

Has anyone seen any actual pics of the 2012 Ranger or what ever it's going to be called?

 

I don't think as of now there even is going to be a 2012 ranger or replacement....

 

A while back, perhaps early last year, truck trend reported that Ford was working two possible replacements but I haven't heard or seen anything since.

You may very well be right.

Ford did a great job of closing that gap on the MPG advantage that the smaller trucks had over the full size trucks. I'd like to see Ford come out with a Dakota / Tocoma size entry.

 

im sure luck made the ram the 2010 motortrend truck of the year as well? now dont get me wrong, when my trucks running good i love it, and even though i enjoy working on it, i would prefer for the problems to stop

 

Been there and done that. Eventually you'll replace enough parts, she'll stop acting up.

 

yea, but im not much of a mechanic and being in highschool i cant quite pay a garage. but back to the main topic, i also heard there gonna make a bronco based off the f100 to eliminate the sport track, whether there still going with this idk

 

I would love to see a new bronco ome out I'd buy one in a heart beat
