Default Re: Petition to Bring the Global Diesel Ranger to America

The new Ranger is 90% of the F150's size, plus U.S. emissions would most likely make a diesel inefficient. A small truck that was gonna be imported to USA called the Mihandra had a diesel, and was about the Ranger's size, but was only able to achieve 21 MPG. This is most likely the reasoning why Ford axed the 2011 diesel F150 for an Ecoboost F150. Ford has done their tests, if they could they would but sometimes things just wont work. Blame the U.S. Government.
