For all the Ford Ranger fanboys on here (and with no help to OP) Car and driver reported that they may return to North America in 2019, so if you've got time, it might be your next truck

The writer figures the only way to fuck this^^ up is charge too much which makes sense, so I wonder what you would get for a base price [HTML_REMOVED] 25K?
I used to live right beside the sales manager or owner of the local ford dealer so 5 yrs ago I asked him why disco the ranger and why no new ranger? He said the old Ranger no longer met standards and it would cost 800million to get a new Ranger to market which made sense with ranger/small truck sales dragging and Ford was doing fine with the F-150
I assume Ford now see's the mid sized "Tacoma market" as too lucrative to stay out of, and now GM is in the game with Colorado, I don't know how much of the "world ranger" will remain or if it will be the same truck, but THE direct competition will be … Tacoma
