twintornados Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Ehhh...that'll buff right out Actually, I am glad you are ok and you may consider buying the truck back from the insurance company if they total it and have it repaired...of course, replacing it with a shiny new one is also an option.

The new ranger looks like euro trash but it's obviously a far more capable and superior product. But it looks like trash, so i make fun of it. Welcome to the internet. Honestly I think you're projecting a bit; you're doing a lot of trolling for someone who likes to accuse others of being trolls. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) Eurotrash? that started design and development in Australia back in and forced to take then current US corporate styling directions , remember the Ford three bar grille and visor look?

Assimilator Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) People who can't have the new thing tend to trash the new thing to make themselves feel better about having the old thing.

akirby Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I owned 2 Rangers - a 90 and a 95 and I can't think of a single thing the old one did better. Not one. Styling is subjective but calling it eurotrash when it looks like every other American Ford and it was designed in Australia is ridiculous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) We know this Ranger is a stop gap measure due to the product cycle timing, interesting that Colorado sales have really hit the skids lately, a coincidence?

Assimilator Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) I'm no fan of Ranger, especially for it's pricing, but I'm glad we have it. I actually think it's pretty attractive up front, not so much elsewhere. The interior is actually nice looking, but the switchgear was obviously randomly assembled from the parts bin with very little thought put into it.

Kev-Mo Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) Sincerely sorry to see Buckeye - great old truck! I get it! Buckeye has an old 'paid for' truck that he obviously put in a great deal of effort to take great care of, and he's perfectly happy with it. Blue book on truck is nil, but to the guy to owns it and took such great care if it - the actual $$ doesn't matter, because he has a great truck. Truck gets wrecked, now it would be nearly impossible to replace at the value the insurance company will give you - feels pretty crappy. You're being told to just pony up $35k+ or 5+years of payments for a new one and everything will be fine- makes you feel even more crappy, because before the truck got wrecked you didn't have an expensive problem.

HRG Ranger sales may be stable, and I like the Ranger; but from that chart the new Ranger has NOT made anyone who planned to buy a Toyota change their mind.

You summarized perfectly the main thing that matters here. Ford now offers a Ranger to American customers. I'm glad we have it too. So glad that I pre-ordered one without driving it first. It's been almost half a year since my family took delivery of our 2019 Ranger XLT, which replaced a 2004 Ranger. Sure, the new Ranger is pretty crude. We all know it's a hack job of the global T6 Ranger. But it is still a very capable pickup truck, and it's the right size for our lawn care and landscaping business. I'm happy with it. BuckeyeGoose, sorry to hear about your unexpected encounter with a Range Rover. Hopefully no one was injured, and hope you are able to find a good replacement for your Ranger soon. Best wishes sir!

I've owned 3. Current is a 99 SWB 2.5, manual. Maintenance costs. Simplicity. Reliability. Parts availability and interchange with non-Ranger Ford vehicles. Aftermarket support. Bed access without the tailgate down. Availability of wheel base, regular cab and engine options. Fan noise. Sale price - even adjusted for inflation. Cost/value compared to contemporary F150. And last, which surprises me because it isn't a problem in Mustang, engine noise. Edited December 4, 2019 by YT90SC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assimilator Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) I think Ranger has settled around the 8,500/month range right now, but it's been growing slowly all year. I think that's how many they planned to sell with only 1-shift running at the plant. I think they could get up to 120,000 units annually if they pushed it. That's getting pretty close to the GM Twins which are around 13K/month collectively, and they've lost ground this year if memory serves. This isn't a huge market overall which is why it only came here with the backing of Bronco as justification. Toyota Tacoma took decades of uninterrupted evolution to turn into the phenomenon it's become today, it's hard to judge a market's demand based on that vehicle. Ranger sightings are still quite rare for me, although I've noticed more in the past month than I have all year.
