The small IMPORT truck was so last century in fact think about what japanese vehical isn't made in NA nowdays which entirely blows the cool small truck with a diesel imported from somewhere mantra out of the water.
Google small truck sales, north americans didn't buy them so sales figures tanked
I am pretty sure Ford would have to build that ranger in NA at a cost of 1 billion dollars for a plant/tooling before a truck ever hits the showroom but when the f150 has been the best selling vehical in NA for 32 years why would Ford spend 1billion to compete with themselves for sales ?
