Ford must think we don't want a small pickup here?

I think the new Ranger is going to be close to the F150 in size now, if not based on it. I could be wrong though.

Well since it won't make it to the US it must only be a 1/3rd world truck.

Don't forget, when it arrives here, it will be w/out the diesel of course.

Well, we (US consumers) don't like diesels, so say the crystal-ball types. Then again, my local Shell station just put in diesel pumps. Chances are pretty good that that wouldn't have happened if there wasn't a current/future demand for it. If Mahindra's offerings work out well, you'll start seeing the diesels roll in...

“We were wrong on both counts and we realized it before it was too late,” Fursten said. “We were going to sell the [Ranger] tools and dies to Mahindra to create their next-generation U.S. bound pickups, but that could have come back to haunt us.”

interesting quote from the "Indefinitely" article
