your link doesnt work

 

Thats great news.

 

Your internet doesnt work... link worked for me.

 

hold on and ill fix it....

 

Thats awesome news still sucks thought that the plant will be shut down

 

good news!!!

 

ramping up production to have enough stock to make it for the 2011 truck, seems odd. lol

 

sad that the kicked the 3.0L though... still kinda aggravated with that decision...

 

Wow thats well over a 1/4 million in just overtime per WEEK
Now wonder a ranger cost almost as much as a full size.

 

looks like cash for clunkers is the reason.

Is this the only truck that meets the cash for clunkers rebate? 4 cylinder Rangers?

 

I wondered the same thing myself..

 

seeing that chrome on DSG, is making me want a chrome grill, lol...

 

Cool.

Now all they need to do is design more efficient motors and switch to composite body pannels so they get decent MPG.

 

I would assume the Colorado does with that 2 cylinder or whatever the hell it is...Oh, 5 cylinder?

 

As long as you get a 4 cyl., 2wd, there are a lot of trucks that can count for the program, depending on the vehicle you're trading in. Ranger/B2300, Taco, Canyon/Colorado, Dakota and Frontier.

Incidentally... the 4wd Taco and Colorado also count.

 

nice avatar seabass What was this thread about anyway,jk

 

i've never heard anything good about the 3.0's... from what i heard they have the power of the 2.3's,a nd the fuel economy of the 4.0's

 

I heard they had the power of a 2.5Lima

 

my bad, that sounds about right, i have the 2.5L lima
