Complain all you like, sales keep going up

Yes. Smitty, always unyielding, and impeccable leather shoes.

 

Nothing wrong with transmission at all that must be why toyota issued how many TSBs to try and make it perform better???

 

Ford Ranger or Ford Taurus?

I'd choose the Ranger any day over the Taurus. I think Ford agrees, since the Taurus is being faded out.

 

The last time I liked a ford I lived in oppositesville.



Ford is the Walmart of vehicles.

 

The new ranger looks ugly. Front end worse than the Colorado.

 

Show me your shoes. Show them. Now.

 

Isnt the Taurus already finished along with the rest of their sedans?

 

Bolts and Headgaskets. The Focus RS have even had short blocks and heads replaced caused by the head gaskets. The Ecoboost Mustangs have even had a major head gasket problem. I jumped on the Ecoboost Bandwagon and owned one. I hopped back off after 1.5 year later and about 7 trips to the dealer getting warranty work done, including 2 CV axles.

 

They ain't failing Smitty McSmittnuts, some people have an issue with the tranny logic.

Now compare that to the Ford 10 speed that shifts like shit and implodes:

See the difference?

 

That's what Ford claims.

I'm thinking they are thinking the Ranger will absorb some of the that market.

 

You reading this Kamille?

 

That and the Bronco

 

This was exactly the reason why Ford ditched the Ranger in the US to begin with...cannibalizing F-150 sales.

 

And Dodge killing the Dakota to protect Jeep

 

Maybe we should start calling him SmittyMcBlackSlap......

 

Yes

Isn't the Bronco on the Ranger platform?

I wouldn't see the need for Ford to sell the current Explorer, and the new Bronco.

 

Correct, the Bronco is rumored to get another engine option or two that the Ranger is supposed to eventually absorb as well. I do think Jeep should be running scared from the Bronco based off of the little information Ford has released about it. I do not think the Tacoma sales are going to take a plunge from the Ranger... Taco is tried and true, even the 3rd gen though 2nd genners don't want to admit it.

 

With the new Ranger and the Jeep Scrambler coming it will be interesting to see what happens to Tacoma sales.

 

"The Ranger will be offered with the sole powertrain combination of a 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine backed by a 10-speed automatic transmission and will be offered in XL, XLT, and Lariat trims. No V6, no manual for the U.S. Ranger. Sorry if you wanted that stuff."

So, only option is a 4 banger turbo? Remember the last set of Ecoboost issues with the F-150s?

Been see'ing Rangers all over the place with manufacturer plates on them since June, if I remember correctly. They look visually almost as big as the F-150, like a step-side F-150.

 

Ut Oh, I think we have two Mudsnakes with different names here.

Where is the Mods when you need them?

I think he is about to be found out!

Stay turned to the Memorial Thread boys and girls.

Internet IP Address is being investigated, Let's see if he bails.
