Yeah but sales have been dropping dramatically.
"Ranger sales dropped 30 percent in 2004, 23 percent in 2005 and 20 percent so far this year."
Some times ford doesn't axe a vehicle quickly. I think they let them die slowly and use up all the old parts. Like the escort, it dwindled for years after the Focus came out. Then there was the F-150 Heritage in '04 after the new f-150's came out.

If you figure that 2003 was selling 100%(baseline amount)
then this year they figure to only sell 43% as many...
I do agree when fullsize chevys are getting MUCH better gas mileage
than a ranger.. there is an issue.
I expect a compact ranger axing.. with a replacement Midsize truck
Maybe with the same name. V8 300hp option, Diesel option and much better
gas mileage oh and a crew cab option like the rest o the world.

yea, i think if ford would have added a v8 to the ranger mix and maybe one other cab size, i think sales would have skyrocketed and be great today.. or even just a dam motor to pull some miles outa the gas you put in it..
i love my ranger, but they sure as hell arnt trying to market it very well
