Like a Focus RS kicking Mustang's ass lol...probably why they stopped making them...

Saw one for sale at Tindol Ford in Gastonia, NC last Saturday. 350 HP of light weight badass machine! https://www.tindolford.com/used-Gastonia-2016-Ford-Focus-RS-WF0DP3TH9G4113901

Some of yinz may be new to Ranger. Truth is, Ford has never supported Ranger in any meaningful way. Over the years, I found one knock off unlicensed wired remote control. Numerous emails to Ford Marketing always got a "no plans" reply. I did get a Tee from my dealer, suprisingly, and I got the diecast for this generation. That's it. Ford just ain't interested as long as we keep buying them.

Ford never really gave a crap about the ranger from the start.

Fords intentions for the Ranger originally I think were for fleet trucks. The size of them by chance hit a sweet spot for the consumer. Then Phil put the 4X4 spin to it and a whole new industry popped up even if Ford only want to sell F150’s and downplayed the Ranger. Still holding its own regardless of production weakness

I think they jumped on the 70s-80s Japanese compact truck bandwagon as other automakers did so they could stay competitive in that market. They sold so they kept making them, never meant to be a flagship model.

"Ford F*ckin' Ranger!" ?

We are the red headed stepchild of the blue oval family. Probably why there is no 'official' Ford rep in our forum like in the F150 ones.

Except Phil. We're on our way to 5G cult status. Steel bumpers rule.

Steel bumpers rule.

*Uses my pinky finger to flex the Steel bumper*

Ehhhh.... Do they though? Look much better yes, but good as paper in any collision.

Funny you mention that. I saw they make posts on the Bronco Sport and Maverick forums. So I PM’d them saying it would be great if they joking the this forum. I did get a reply that was useless.

They have two Ford Ranger t-shirts. I bought one a while ago and then ate too much barbecue, and now it doesn't fit. Yikes.

I must have dementia! I’m from that era and don’t remember any of these or seeing them on the road. Granted we were into the big 8’s and dual quads. But I recall a few Mazdas and Mitsu’s but ??‍
