Re: ford rangers in the UK
I think Ford thought companies and regular mini truck buyers would buy the 150, but they buy Toyotas and Nissans instead. Most rangers in Europe are diesels, I would buy one in an instant they are getting 42 miles per gallon also. And last forever.

I think Ford is on the right track when they have a V6 with better torque numbers and better mpg numbers than the 5.0. Also, it's lighter. It's smaller so they can stick it in a smaller engine compartment and have more cab space instead. Smart. FoMoCo FTW !!!

Still better than the 5.0 if it has more torque and more mpg's.
Hey ! How can I put a 1.0 ecoboost in my Ranger ??? (Jk)
It probably has better numbers than my 3.0 !!!

Re: ford rangers in the UK
theres really no reason for a global ranger in US, its big and not anywhere near a "compact" truck.
compared to a fullsize ram 1500
