2010 Ranger Production

TXCOMT · #1 01-11-2011, 01:06 PM

FRFs:

The numbers are in, thanks to the latest issue of Automotive News.
For 2010, Ford built 70,666 Rangers, a slight drop from '09's 73,625 total. To compare, only two Blue Oval models classified as trucks were made in fewer quantities: Expedition (51,295) and Flex (41,081).

While I don't have monthly or trim breakdowns, I do have the remaining RBV number: 2,395 Mazda B-Series trucks were for built for '10, up from 1,905 from two years ago.

For grins (or frowns), 439,066 F-Series trucks (not including Super Dutys or chassis) were built last year, up from 379,804 in '09. That's a shocker, I know.

BTW, this post once mentioned a Mountaineer incentive; I was wrong, as that was for dealers. There is a, however, a Ranger customer incentive of $2,500 and zero percent financing available through the end of the month.

sport trac is an explorer, so the numbers for actual Rangers sold are slightly less.

mercury RVB? when did they make one of those? are you referring to the mountaineer?

Where did you get the numbers from? How many 2010 Mazda B4000's did they make?

Machine: thanks for the correction...I totally forgot about Sport Trac being considered an Explorer. Of course, I also didn't know Explorers/Mountaineers haven't been RBVs for years!

ZX: Source is Automotive News (1/10/11), the weekly trade pub of the auto industry. I appreciate the Mazda mention, as I didn't remember that RBV, either! B-Series production for '10 was 2,395, up from 1,905 two years ago.

Thanks I tried to access the info on their site but I think it requires a paid account...

Interesting that the B series production went up for 2010 as it was only available in Canada vs the past years being available in US/Canada. Guess Canadian Mazda dealers wisely stocked up at the end of production.

Ok if it is the Explorer has had its last year already why is Ford airing new previews of the 2011 Explorer.

Sorry, forget the Explorer/Mountaineer mentions; I thought they were still Ranger-based, but I've learned otherwise.

Yeah, AN is subscriber only (sorry I didn't mention that). I'm sorta in the biz, so I don't pay for the sub.

As for B-Series sales, I didn't think about that as I don't really pay much attention to Mazdas, but that makes sense. The data doesn't say what markets the units are for, just how many are built.

BTW, I posted Ranger sales data in another thread.

Here in Canada, I had found that there weren't very many dealer incentives from the Mazda Canada. If you want to save $$$, you would likely have purchased a Ranger vs. B series. Tons of the newer Rangers around town.

For me it was the opposite the two time I bought a truck 95 Mazda B3000 and this year 2010 B4000 it was way cheaper than I could get a Ranger for even with all the incentives that Ford was running which where big. This year it was really close but in 95 diff was huge.
