Ford Ranger Going Global; Except in the U.S.

Ford is really outdoing themselves with their global car efforts. While we know that Chattanooga Chevrolet Dealers have placed a few of their popular models on global platforms, Ford is trying hard to become a global name. This goal is achievable, and the cars from Honda Dealer Manchester are well known throughout the globe and have earned their reputation for producing quality vehicles that run forever. Even though the Fiesta, which was first introduced in Europe, was wildly popular when it arrived stateside, Ford still feels the need to shift things around on us.

The latest news is that the Ford Ranger will no longer be offered in the U.S. but will be for sale in approximately 180 countries across the globe. This is good news for Sacramento Nissan Dealers who also have trucks in their line up; less competition will help boost their sales. Ford Motor Company is claiming that because the Ford Ranger will now be built on their T6 Global Platform that having the Ranger for sale in the United States would pose too much competition towards their own F-150 pickup truck. The new 2012 Ford Ranger is slightly larger than it is now, meaning it is closer in size proximity to the F-150. It will be available as either rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive.

Ford is tweaking all the elements of the 2012 Ranger so that it is popular in several regions of the world. The Ranger will be tough enough to endure the elements of the Australian outback! The interior will be low-maintenance and easy to clean, just like a truck should be. Drivers can plan on getting a back-up camera, trailer sway control, and an adaptive load control feature. The 2012 Ranger will produce 200 horsepower and 346 pound feet of torque from a turbocharged 3.2 liter five-cylinder Duratorq diesel engine.
