If Ford should bring this to North Amercia...

Does nothing for me. Looks like another Ford/Chevy/Dodge to me. /yawn

 

Agreed!

 

Ford is good. Much better than GM and Dodge.

However, the Ranger ain't no Tacoma. And I doubt this thing will be a Hilux, much as it tries to look like one.

 

the rangers r bad ass lil trucks n they do last a long time

 

the old ones, yes. The newer ones (newer than the mid '90s) are junk IMO. I was actually looking at them when I was looking for a truck and all 3 I test drove (all with the 4.0 v6 and 5 speed) were absolute dogs and made the strangest noises. They all also had less than 70k miles too.

 

The older Mazda built Rangers are pretty good IMO. I would read the trade magazines and reviews and then wait 5 years. If the repair record was still good I would buy one.

 

Thanks for fixing the link!

 

I like the look of this Global Ranger...and two diesel engine options is pretty awesome! Of course if they brought this Ranger to North America it would only come with the eco-boost V6, not that 350hp is a bad thing

 

Then there is also The VW...I actually like the look of this one too!

ill always go toyota first, but im a ford guy all the way when it comes to american companies...

they say jesus drove a GM, thats why he was always walking

 

x20

except i dont like it. has too much of a car feel.

 

I've been liking Ford lately, but they charge way too damn much for all their cars and trucks, except maybe the very small cars.
Building up your own F-150 on the website and looking at the price before taxes and fees makes you want to vomit.

I'm okay with the way 't6' truck looks, but I wouldn't buy because it's going to cost an arm and a leg, and it looks too "girlish" to me.

 

Looks alot like a squatty Sport Trac to me...and the doggone steering wheel is on the wrong side. Wonder if they even noticed. Those idiots.

 

just another junk ford. Ill pass even though I drive a toyota im too big of a gm fan for that truck

 

Agreed.

 

My Rangers ('87 and '92) were hands down the best vehicles I ever owned. We beat the hell out of them and they just kept going. The '87 had 250,000 miles on it when I traded it in and never needed any substantial repairs.

Now, I love to drive my '10 Tacoma and I loved my '09 Tacoma (which I had to Lemon Law) and I wouldn't trade my Tacoma for one of these new Rangers. But, when the time comes to retire this one (in 10+ years), I would give one of these Rangers consideration.

Besides, have you seen the Afgani Rangers? Bad ass!!

F**k
Over
Rebuilt
Dodge

 

Nice looking truck. Would look even better as a non 4 door family truck!

 

ugly

 

Keep in mind this Ranger is designed for Australia, the same place partsmakers like ARB earn their pedigree. The tough conditions in the Outback easily rival the Afghan desert.
