Major design defect spotted. VW, will surely have their hands full with yet again, a massive world-wide recall.

Oops...didn't mean to offend. I'll admit, I'm not familiar with the purpose of these....can you enlighten me? Thanks.
@AzureRanger
No offense taken :)

@AzureRanger @Rhino

Manufacturers add nothing to vehicles without reason, every single thing has a purpose.

In general, there is different information available about this “spoiler thing”.
It’s a spoiler to improve aerodynamics or just show off.
As well it’s a security extra added for cases if truck happens to roll over, strengthening the frame.
Mostly you can buy them as an item which improves the look and is named like spoiler because what sells better - cool look or security?

What I can say, my truck is silent, no wind noise at all. My back window doesn’t get wet while raining. But I’ve always wanted a comparison moment with a truck without it to find out how much it really affects.
Haven’t tried roll over, can’t comment on this. Also need 2 trucks for that ?

But most important and practical use of it - I crab from it while climbing into bed and after rain the bed edge is wet and slippery. Irreplaceable! ?

Please note, pickup trucks for US and UK/EU market are different due region restrictions, market and customer demands. Ford doesn’t send other trucks here, so Ranger has to fill that gap also. That affects a lot.

Correct, the VW is the new Ford Ranger under the skin. There's no VW in it, and it's built in Ford plants.
Open the hood and I promise you'll see FoMoCo on all the parts. Basically a GMC version of a Ford Ranger.

That's what I meant if it wasn't clear. The VW is a Ranger in silly clothes.

I like it except for the tailgate banner. It looks like an anagram that my brain needs to unscramble.

Pretty smart of VW really, they take credit if it's good cause it's a Volkswagen, and if it's bad then "it's really a Ford Ranger , blame Ford ,not us"... I like that logic and plan on using it daily from here on out...
