I absolutely LOVE my Ranger. I can't imagine that I would want anything changed; it's tough, durable, reliable, good on gas. The engine is torquey around town. It's a PERFECT size truck.
I have a standard cab truck, 2WD, not too many bells and whistles.
The new Ranger is too long, a little too pricey, and I don't care for the powertrain combination. Our economy has taken a downturn, and more people are going to hold onto their vehicles. And the verdict is out on the longevity of Ranger's turbocharged engine, and it's complicated 10 speed automatic.
If Ford made an equivilent to my current Ranger, me and others would buy it - especially with the economic downturn, coupled with Nissan's decision to move the Frontier upmarket - which leaves the entry level market empty. The Chevy Colorado is offered in a bare bones version, but Chevy's reliability is questionable.
Ford would steal the entry level market, and the Maverick would be popular with people like me, with fleet sales, and with municipalities.
