That is the T6 international Ranger, not available in US or Canada, or Oregon, lol.

There has been statements from Ford that it will be building similar model in the US but when I can test drive one I will believe it.

T6 is only slightly smaller than F-150, so I think it would be a bad move by Ford to build/sell this here
All they will do is loose F-150 sales in favor of T6 sales.

They need to compete with toyota and nissan small trucks, which was what Ranger did before sales fell off, but maybe the T6 will do just that, somebody at Ford who gets paid more than me must know what they are doing, lol.

Not impressive to me... too bad Ford did away with the style of body they left behind. To me the T6 is nothing more than a reworked Ford Edge Crossover with a bed on the same frame.

I for one will not buy one, IF I dont rework my '03 then Toyota here I come !

With the popularity of the Zr2 and the ranger reveal in the up coming auto shows

I think it will be very likely the truck that we see in the USA, since it is already gone to Moab.

RonD,

Wasn't deleting the Ranger from production, suppose to increase F-150 Sales... ? Now what, the T6's that are sold will definitely take away from the F-150 Sales.
I am in the position NOT to BUY either, Thank you God !
Thank you Ford for nothing !

I know it has been said before, "What we need is a Mini F-350", now that I would buy !

Is that the way they're going to be, a 4 door with a useless little box that can't even hold a sheet of plywood ?
I thought they're supposed to be a working mans truck, but on a smaller scale where a full size pick up is just too big ?
Ford turned it into a "Yuppie-Mobile"

It's just an SUV with a little useless box added on.
