You guys seen the Pontiac g8 pickup the fg falcon ute is the ford version
I'm not sure what the American market is like but if ford is thinking about producing a small pick up with shit all load and towing capacity... Maybe they can save some money and import the Ford FG Falcon ute we have in Australia...
Hahahahahaha, pretty much sums up why people never bought compacts. Not much good for anything but getting stuck.
Jesus that's hardly even 2 new jet skis. And it's gonna need to hold far more than 1000 to be worth buying.
Pretty sure my Jeep has better numbers than that. It'll be a huge mistake to actually make the ranger with those stats
Look at my profile pic. I drive one. They are perfect and good fuel consumption. Great value for money and wouldn't trade it for any thing else.
I agree, they should have had this here from the start. Why develop a whole new vehicle when one that fills the wants of the buyer is already in production? Stupid, I want this truck. Too bad they don't sell it in Canada.
I'm tired of this bloated truck look. It's a compact pickup, don't try to make it look big and bulky. The old ranger was perfectly sized and very practical. I don't want a crossover with a bed, I want a capable small truck.
Alex how am I stupid this looks just like the Honda only the Honda won't break down
We need to be able to get smaller trucks like this and still have a diesel option.
I'm sure what you used was a fleet truck. No creature comforts. If ford builds the ranger iT should be a truck(body on frame). Not a ford fusion with a bed.
Yeah the cost would be outrageous to be imported. I don't think you would be required to convert it to LHD though. I've seen several RHD vehicles here in the US
Nick, Im just curious, how much it would cost to import a Maloo to the U.S? do you have any idea about that, since you live in Australia?
I am impressed that they use a separate bed/can design, it always bothered me about the Avalanche and Ridgelines.
Imagine a ranger "raptor", or whatever they would call it, I think that would be sick, especially with this design
Actually I like this interior. I never was a big fan of new ford truck interiors
Someone needs to slap a 50 inch plasma in there, or LED if your into the newest tech.
What was the direction, create the smallest GPS possible? My phone has a bigger screen!
*dashboard, not bashboard.. lol Also agree with Douglas, the screen could be a bit larger at least
The interior's actually not too bad.. I like the not over complex look of the bashboard. only criticism, the stripes are overdoing it a bit... else than that, solid interior!
If you think that is small look at the ones from the recent Mazda CX-7 and Mazda 3
Well guys will most likely be driving it... And lets be honest. We don't need maps lol
Thanks Jorge..I'm glad you own a dictionary.
Ford should bring back people like Anne Stevens to the ranks
Unibody means crossover? Really? I thought a unibody was any frameless car made out of one piece of stamped steel.
Unibody means crossover....no longer a "truck"
....will benefit us in the future. Besides, how many people with light duty trucks actually utilize the capabilities ? Most trucks are grocery grabbers and that's it.
They are only doing these things for the sake of money. If you can build 5 different vehicles off the same platform, that saves them money. And that, usually, warrants a better deal for the consumer. Sure there may be some shitty models, but it......
What Clinton said is saddening but true... Im gonna hate to see when they do that to the Mustang... Damn eco-pussy lawyers running Ford now... Only cool car they'll have left after they change (worsen) the Mustang is the Raptor
Body in Frame with the EcoBoost 4 and the 3.5 v6, would be a dream of a truck!
That's so stupid. WTF Ford?
I want a cheap truck that can at least pull a four wheeler or two and have overall high 20s mpg. Thats it :)
They're just uniforming their platforms and engines.. It's like 5 years from now the models won't even be distinct from each other. They'll just look morphed, different priced versions of each other with identical engines
What a stupid idea
There they go, building shit out of cars! You'll think they learned from the Explorer already! I can see the YouTube videos know, people loading heavy stuff on their supposedly trucks and bending them in half!
If its going to be unibody dont even bother, ford
Noooo, make it body on frame!
Unibody means the frame is built into the body. Does not have frame rails. The previous rangers were all body on frame.
Sorry it's hard to explain here go on the Internet it will show you the prosa cons for each
A unibody is when there connected ...it's hard to ex
Have a body on frame
Ok most truck
