I had a Ranger once...fun truck. I wonder what the redesign would look like?

The ranger has never appealed to me.

The Ranger is the top-selling small pickup in the U.S. market. But 2002 sales through June were off 25 percent, compared with the year-ago period.

There is no telling what could have caused a decline, maybe just a bump in the numbers of corporate fleet renewals. Could be back up in the last quarter of the year.

The Ranger is going to get severely 0wned once the new Chevy Avalanche/GMC Canyon models come out.

Sad thing is, most of Fords lineup is looking pretty tired and old, along with a large part of Chryslers lineup. It seems like GM is the only one introducing new models!
