Picture of one found here in America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeever Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 They're sticking with the international design rather than the North American one, huh? Bit of a shame, but it'd still be cool to see these trucks return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMC14 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 the australian designed model? (still cant post any images no matter how many i try) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottie Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Ford is stopping the region specific designs since its really cost saving to do so. Its most likely to compete with the new colorado anyway since (where i live st least), those are selling like crazy. The dakota may also make a return if FCA sees a potential for the smaller pickup market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epoxi Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Ford's worldwide range is one of the primary reasons it was the only one of the big three not to take a government bailout. It would be a shame to see many of the American models die though, I think the F150 will stick around and at least Mercury and Lincoln will have some alternative offerings.

RoadRunner71 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Last year GM introduced back the Colorado/Canyon. Seems like mid-size truck market is on the rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flachbau Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Awesome. I would love to see the Ranger compete against the Chevy Colorado.. hopefully it all works out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutslab Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Last year GM introduced back the Colorado/Canyon. Seems like mid-size truck market is on the rise. I think the Colorado as well as the current Ranger are classified as compact/small size pickups, which doesn't make any sense after looking at their proportions. I miss the old Rangers. Is there even a compact size pickup anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottie Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Compact pickups really only exsist in south america and asian markets, and maybe mexico. I havent seen any new compact pickups on the north american or euro markets lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRC99 Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 There's also talk of the Bronco making a return, but that rumor's been going on since the 2004 Concept Bronco. That said, there's quite a bit more weight to it this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flachbau Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Yep ^ I just saw a few articles about it as well.. very exciting. Hopefully they don't make it look super ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford Australia received a bail out back in 2012 to keep jobs here, then sacked heaps of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrenalist Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Looking at the exorbitant pricing structure Ford's been spinning as of late, I question how many they'll sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
