Title: Ranger is nomore.
Post by: daveismissing on December 17 2011, 06:44:19 PM

Sometime Friday, the final Ford Ranger (http://autos.yahoo.com/ford-truck/ranger-regular-cab-4x2/2011/) pickup (http://autos.yahoo.com/trucks/all.html) will be driven off the assembly line in St. Paul, Minn (http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylt=Al03dEg.u8tH12b.v4oUKXEVc78F;_ylu=X3oDMTFzaDB1bm52BG1pdANCbG9nIFBvc3QgQm9keSBNb3RvcmFtaWMEcG9zAzcEc2VjA01lZGlhQmxvZ0JvZHlBc3NlbWJseQ--;_ylg=X3oDMTN2bHNqZnI4BGludGwDdXMEbGFuZwNlbi11cwRwc3RhaWQDOWJhOTIwY2EtMmZmYi0zOGIyLTk2MWQtYTNkMTVjMmNmODU5BHBzdGNhdANuZXdjYXJzfGJ1eWluZ2d1aWRlc3x0cnVja3NidXlpbmdndWlkZQRwdANzdG9yeXBhZ2UEdGVzdAM-;_ylv=0/SIG=119l8t33q/EXP=1325374793/**http%3A//yhoo.it/vf0NAu)

....decided a new model would only compete too closely with the F-Series pickups for a shrinking pool of customers. And where fuel economy had once been the Ranger's reason for existence, technology has caught up; the twin-turbo V-6 F-150 (http://autos.yahoo.com/ford-truck/f-150-regular-cab-4x2/2012/) pickup now gets better mileage than the top-end Ranger.
