I was thinking today that ford was the only company that makes midsize trucks and doesnt make a true 4 door truck.

there is the
Chevy Colorado
Toyota Tacoma
Dodge Dakota
Nissan Frontier
Suzuki Equator


i think the new Mitsubishi truck comes in a 4 door but i have only seen a rare few of them. i cant think of any other campaniles off the top of my head.

why doesnt ford look and see that the mid size truck needs a 4 door so you can have the seating but still have a bed. i know ford have the sport trac but that isnt what i want i want a 4 door ranger.

any other input welcome just i don't understand it maybe we should send a whole bunch of letter to ford or something.

 

The Sport Trac?? Ford's not out to make what YOU want, they're out to make what will sell.

 

The ranger is a compact not a midsize. I agree on the 4 door ranger tho'

 

hm

how about the south american Ranger? that's still got Ford written on it.

 

Ford isn't going to come out with the 4 door ranger here, it will be gone in the next couple of years anyway.

 

Isn't the f150 supposed to be the midsize? Not so midsized are we?

 

Um I don't think so

 

yeah but i cant get there here in the us. can i?

 

All those trucks he listed sell VERY well.

Ford needs to get their **** together. Follow the popular trend and get a piece of the pie.

 

you never said in the US.. only said the only automaker

 

thank you

 

F150 is one of the top selling truck.. why make a 4 door ranger when they can make a 4 door f150 and sell millions of them???

 

Some people like me don't want the MPG rating of the F150 or the size of it but want the 4 doors and something that will fit into tight spots. I sure don't need a high towing capacity since I have nothing to tow but I would like 4 full doors.

 

Where did I say those other trucks don't sell?

 

Because alot of people dont want a bigger truck. Look how many Rangers, Taco's, Dakota's, etc.. are out there. Ford needs to build what sells and alot of the 4 door "smaller" trucks sell well.

 

Some people dont NEED a fullsized truck, and would rather get by with a Midsized truck like the Tacoma or Canyon. Hell Suzuki just entered the Midsized truck world.

 

IMO the Ranger is a compact truck, not a mid sized.

 

You didnt. What you did say is that Ford will not build a small truck with 4 doors.

 

A 4door Ranger wouldn't take profits away from the F-150, it would take the profits away from the other companies making 4door compact picks-ups. You either want a little truck or a big truck. The addition of a 4door Ranger wouldn't hinder the F-150 sales whatsoever.

 

mine has 4 doors.

 

"fullsized" doors?

 

Yours used to have ZERO doors

 

No what I said was Ford isn't going to bring over the 4 door Ranger. I just don't see them putting that kind of effort in a platform they want to elimanate anyway. Now will we see a mid sized 4 door (smaller than sport trac) in a few years, I hope so and maybe.

 

Eh I think it would take away a small portion, but the money would still be going to Ford anyway.

 

Dakota is really hard to put in this category being its offered in a V8. and is almost the size of an F-150

They may not need a full size but I think most ford ranger sales are fleet vehicles.. little xl's with 2.3's and single cab.

But i see it this way.. by not offering the ranger in 4 doors they push people into F-150s. I just dont think a 4 door ranger would sell like a taco. I dont see many canyons running around ever.
