Ranger's Future
I was just looking on Blue Oval News and apparently Ford plans to shut down the plant where the ranger is produced in 2009. Just thought you all would like to know that. Currently there are no definate plans for a replacement.

I was shooting my mouth off over at a Mazda3 forum to a guy that just traded his 3 for a new Nissan 2WD. He confessed that his brother works at a plant that makes F150's in Virginia. He said something about them being told that they were going to be building the 'Ranger replacement'. Basically suggesting to him that Ford had a new, probably mid-size replacement in the ranks ready for production as early as '08.. Although he has since posted saying instead they passed notice that the plant is instead closing in 18 months!
I dunno what that all means, but that's the hearsay I've heard..

Ranting?? no
My Point was theres a kit to make a 7.3 a twin turbo. Nothing more
