Ford today officially unveiled the 2007 Ranger for the Thai market. The truck in an entirely new model, unrelated to the vehicle currently on sale in the United States. Last week, we cited a report that indicated the new Ranger would not come to North America. Rumors have suggested Ford will discontinue the Ranger line all together in North America. The Thai Ranger is based heavily on the 4-Trac Concept shown late last year. See more images of the new Ranger after the jump…

It’s Thailand, not Taiwan. Get your countries straight. And btw, it’s Ford, not GM.

This looks suspiciously like a rebadged Nissan to me. Even the interior.

correction taken on the country, concerning GM, it was sarcasm referring to their “great” track record with concept to production..Aztec anyone? It was like saying “yeah and pigs fly”

I have called Ford corp. office and complained. Maybe if we all complained they would market the new ranger with the diesel here. Ford probably thinks that the sport track is a more marketable product than the ranger, boy are they going to be in for a shock. Even though I have been a blue oval loyalist ever since I have been old enough to look over a steering wheel, I will buy the first diesel small pickup that is sold. I have a feeling that Ford is once again going to have its ass handed to them by the japs. Why cant Ford see this as a chance to deal Chevy, Toyota, and Dodge a very mortal blow and get back into the game ? I sure hope that someone important for Ford is reading this and takes this up the corp. ladder.

this shows a lot about ford, or rather, about how much they suck. this is the new ranger, and yet, it still is so incredibly inferior to the toyota tacoma and nissan frontier its astonishing

I’ll never buy another Ford until they add a Aux Jack on the factory stereo so I can hook up my iPod.
