    Discountinued only in the USA, the new 2012 Ranger (available to all other markets except the USA) is the reason why.

    Actually the "global" Ranger is a Mazda development. As far as the American market goes, Ford is trying to make the commercial user switch to the Transit Connect, based in the 1st-generation Focus platform. The Ranger actually remained on production more because it is the cheapest vehicle from Ford to the American market.

    2012 Ford Ranger


    Here's the site for the all-new Ranger: The All-New Ranger | The All-New Ranger

    PS: Unlike the previous Mazda-based (global) Ford Rangers, Ford Australia headed the development of the all-new Ranger.

    The US loses the Ranger model because the new global Ranger isn't going to be as cheap as the current Ranger being sold in the US, and it's almost as big as the F150, which means it may cannibalize F150 sales.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    The currently sold US Ranger sucks. Luma na sobra yun eh, mas maganda pa nga yung current Ranger natin kaysa the US Ranger....

    As niky said, siguro its better for them to focus na lang nga on F150 since almost same sizze na rin naman sila.
