tayaran Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Guys, just FYI, I was at a Ford dealership in MI, and one of the salesman pulled up in a ranger and said, wow I haven't sold one of these for a while. Is it really that bad for the Ranger's sales? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddellwo Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I went to my local dealer a week or two ago and when I told them I was there to look at a new Ranger they just about fell over backwards! I think the salesman's exact words were, "Nobody ever comes in here looking for a Ranger!" FWIW -- I love my little '97 Ranger, which I have owned since it was new and has given me years of rock-solid reliable service! I fully intend to purchase a new one in the next year or so to hopefully give me another dozen years of unblinking daily driver service that free's up money for my toys (I'm thinking a nice '04 - '05 Thunderbird to go along with my '05 F-150 and my '08 Mustang) and keeps the miles off my babies. Incidentally, I was surprised how much stronger the Duratec 2.3 was compared to the 2.3 Lima in my '97 -- I look forward to the added "oomph" provided by this new engine!

Sixt9coug Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Bought my Ranger a few weeks ago. They had nothing but work trucks on the lot really and my Sport had to be traded from another dealer. I guess they arent so popular. Hell, i love em though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fang Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I hope the Ranger lives on. I want another when my stang is paid off. I currently have an 03 for my son. The only problem I see in my opinion is they need to put the 4.0 in just a 2 wheel drive ranger for towing and power. I really dont think many ppl look at gas milage when they shop vehicles either but I do. :shades: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
