Only if you work for the post office!can we have the right hand drive
There's a lot of overlap in Bronco, Wrangler, Gladiator, Tacoma, FJ, Defender, and 4Runner people. If the new Ranger gets some real chops, i don't see any reason why that can't be added to the list.I like Broncos, the two door kind, so this four door pickup situation isn’t even on my radar. Odd that there’s so much crossover with this wildly different vehicle. Sometimes I think four door Bronco owners aren’t really Bronco people, this proves it.
I had a 93 and loved the V6 4.0! My neighbor has one that only has 30k miles on it and the dealership here in Ga offered 18k and he said nope. I have a 2017 F150 2.7 which is too big for me. We visited DC for the 4th/Trump rally and it was hell on the baby streets. I also worked in Atlanta a few months ago and it was bad. I drove the current Ranger when it came out and it felt cramped on the inside and I didn't like the look of them. This new one I have been tracking but pulled the trigger on the Bronco.Yeah, those years were not too good for the Ranger. But Man I loved my 98 Ranger... extended cab with the 2.5 4 cyl 5 speed. When I sold it in 2010 for $2500 it had right at 200k miles on it. Only two problems I had were a power steering hose had to be replaced and it threw the timing belt at 150k miles. My teenage son had it the last 50k miles. That thing was bullet proof!
I would love to have my Ranger back! Hell, I just did a quick search on AutoTrader and found several from 6k to 10k with over 200k miles!I had a 93 and loved the V6 4.0!

So, this is a Global model, built in Thailand and South Africa? Will it even be available in the US? Is there a US manufacturing location, or is there a US version of this truck coming?New competition coming within the Ford family!

My dad bought his 98 Ranger extended cab new and still has it to this day at 250k miles. It's a great truck that did everything our family needed with no major issues along the way. Commuter vehicle, Home Depot warrior, multiple home moves, light towing, and parking lot doughnuts in the snow.Yeah, those years were not too good for the Ranger.

We too had a lot of good times in that truck. It was my sons first vehicle. We put a pioneer stereo in it and a small sub-woofer box between the jumpseats. I think he loved it more than I did!My dad bought his 98 Ranger extended cab new and still has it to this day at 250k miles.

It ended up being my first vehicle at 17 and I have great memories playing music through the cassette adapter, driving around with my girlfriend (now wife), and towing around a lawn tractor for my cash grass cutting business.
Remember listening to the Phillies make their late August Pennant runs in 2007/08 on that AM radio. Who knows, maybe this new Ranger can make my Phillies relevant again
Ford can't even make the Lions relevant, doubt they'll have much help for you. There were longstanding rumors the Ford family bought the Lions for William Clay Ford so he'd have something to do that kept him away from FoMoCo. Been 7 years since the old man died and the team is still garbage though.maybe this new Ranger can make my Phillies relevant again
