2006 Ranger: EDGE still exists!!!

Found this thread on Ford Truck World:

http://fordtruckworld.tenmagazines.c....ten?id=286382

From Tenacity21, a person who works at the Ranger plant. He talks about there are '06s out on the lot sitting right now w/ the black covers on them. It looks as though they decided to not use the old Sport name they used in the 90's and decided to use the EDGE name instead. I think I'll have to buy me a set of those taillamps for my ranger. He took a few pics, but here's the only one he posted:



ENJOY!!

Dang that's a big Ford logo. Looks like a platter or something.
Other than that, not bad looking.

I like the big oval on the tailgate. Nice pic!
Still despise the fake rivet nonsense on the flares...actually I hate flares come to think of it.

I love the Ranger badge on the tailgate.....two of those would look awesome to put one on each front fender, replacing the old ranger tags.

I'm getting those Ranger emblems FOR SURE as soon as they are available. As for the ****** style nissan wannabe flares, STUPID ****ing move on Ford's part. Talk about a step BACKWARDS.

he also said in 07 the ranger will be axed...who knows...

side note, saw ford is REALLY hurting. but then in my petersons they are testing the market for the Boss Hoss F-350...aimed to take on the Power Wagon and H2...maybe the 06 Fusion will bail Ford out and bring the domestic car market back into the blue oval.

I think the Ranger could really be competitive again if Ford just gave it a chance and actually put some work into it. Why they are neglecting the Ranger and wasting time and money on things like the Freestyle I just don't get. I'm worried they will replace the Ranger with some SUT...which considering the poor sales of the Sport Trac doesn't make much sense.

The Fusion is a nice car, but I think it will have the same fate as the Contour.

I know...I made the last thread, lol. It seemed like a lot of people didn't see it though, so I didn't say anything.

Sorry Alan, I really havn't been on here in over a month or so, so I didnt get to catch any posts. Sorry about the repost everyone....I was just trying to show that the EDGE name still exists, and the sport name wouldn't be introduced as previously put out by ford or whoever posted these:








Once again...sorry about the repost everyone.

It's no big deal man. You posted some new info, all I had was the pic, not the info from the guy.

Tell your friend to be careful taking pics at work like that.....

We've had several get fired at Nissan for getting caught with camera phones....God forbid they actually caught them taking pics.....

Just a word of caution

I dont know the guy...just found the link through some '06 Ranger searching. I do agree with you on the issue of pics of unrealeased material. Kind of like bootlegging almost. The person, this "Tenacity21," is the one to whom is in the wrong for posting on the net. It speads like a wildfire. of course, i'm the helper of the spreading, but it's all good.

I really like the grill on the new rangers and the bigger ford emblems in all the truck looks pretty decent the fender flares are a different story.
