........ a big tip of the hat to the TCAP folks and all the best in the future.

 

Congrats to them. Lot of happy Ranger owners out here because of them!!!

 

...was hoping to get 3-4 more yrs out of my '99 Ranger w/123K miles on it but decided to buy one of the remaining 2011 Rangers since I wouldn't been able to purchase another new one "then". Don't think Ford did a very smart thing here, but alas it's all about the numbers...

Congrats on the new Ranger- what kind? ............. I'm curious what current 4.0L owners are getting for mpg. I'm in much the same situation as you- my '02 XLT 2.3L reg. cab has 137,000+ on it. Went 100,000 on the original Wilderness HT tires and the front brakes went 136,000+- it doesn't owe me a thing. Been looking at new ones and it seems with the incentives set up the way they are, the price difference between an I-4 and a 4WD V-6 isn't all that much.

 

"Don't think Ford did a very smart thing here, " ......... I'd agree through some here won't. I don't regard the T-6 as a real replacement ....... it's too close in size and price to the F-150. I'll be curious to see what Ford does; with the higher mpg requirements and GM coming in with a new Colorado I can't see Ford leaving this market segment vacant.
