Looks like any other midsize pick up from the last 10 years with a 2000 ford fiesta front end attached to it.

Why would anyone buy this? I like the tundra a lot more. If they stop making this, and sell the tundra all over the world, with v8, but also smaller and diesel eingines. I think that would sell better.

@ politz: Can't judge how the truck looks just yet - this is just a mule, an existing Mazda BT50 body hiding the new Ford mechanicals underneath. @ Hemi426: Ford don't even make the Tundra. What on earth are you talking about?

@TheFox , i completley agree , dont no what hemi426 was on about??? but i wish ford & mazda would design a less conventional truck yet with all the space and practicality of similar sized trucks!!!!

I just hope it will do better in crash tests. The Ranger sold in USA is 10 years old, but even the one sold in Europe, just 4 years old I think, didn't do more that 2 stars at EURONcap crash tests... Don't buy one if you have kids...

Well judging by the license plate on this mule, it seems like this model is using a 2.2 TDCi 4 cylinder diesel engine taken from the S-Max MPV, Mondeo and Mazda6

almost nobody outside the USA would buy a TOYOTA Tundra- i have seen one here in Poland and its totally inappropriate... however Rangers and similar sized pick-ups like the L200 and Hilux are popular all over europe

I for one would love to see this in the US. I owned an F-150 Supercrew but it was too big and drank too much gas. A Ranger crew cab would be just the ticket. Here in the US, Ford sells a pickup version of the Explorer, but it gets the same gas mileage as the F-150, so what's the point. But a Ranger crew cab with reasonable fuel economy would be great.
