Ugly as hell. Why would you Japanese-ize the design of an American truck, when the latter have always worked so well?
Nissan wouldn't want his 370-Z to look like a Mustang.

The Ranger name has been used for several years for Asian market Rangers that are not related to the USA Ranger. This is a redesign of that truck. I do think the time might be right to bring this truck to the USA, though. True compact trucks disappeared about 20 years ago. The time is probably right for their return.

Er, it is Japanese. It is a Mazda BT50 with Ford badges. And why does anyone think that the F150 would work in Europe and some of the more advanced Asian nations? It's too big and too thirsty.

Development of the (international) Ford Ranger was mostly done by Mazda, its pretty much like the Escape and Tribute.
It was developed to have a Ford and Mazda version from the beginning.
This New Ranger is just a facelift of the current outgoing Thai-built (international) Ford Ranger which is sold in Asia, Europe, Middle East, South Africa, Australia etc.

The design work for this was done by Ford Australia in Melbourne.
F150 what a piece of crap!

The old one was so much better. At least it looked like a Ford. This looks exactly like the Mazda. The worst part is they sell it (heavily modified of course) as a 'luxury' SUV - the Ford Endeavour - in India. Please don't do that to the Endeavour, it hardly sells as it is.

although i think this looks lousy, the american version is a 20 year old truck. its about time to do a real update on that one.

Just proves that Ford Management needs to be cleaned out. As an American, it's an insult and embarassment that an American company produces really solid products outside of our country but mediocrity in our own. Kudos to Europe and Asia, to-bad-so-sad for America. PS - If this version of the Ranger were built in America, I don't think their assembly plant here in town (St. Paul, MN) would have been in danger of closing.

I think it looks GREAT. But, I thought it was a HiLux too. I wish we could get trucks this size in the U.S. I had to buy a 10 year-old Toyota Tacoma (HiLux)to get a truck this size. It gets 28 mpg and hauls all I need. I had to borrow my Dad's full-size Chevy once and a 25' moving van box truck the other time - couln't imagine having to feed that big Chevy beast every week, $$$$.
