Farewell to the Ford Ranger. Vehicles become one of the pillars of the Ford in the class will end production at its Minnesota factory next year.

Rangers' official response is no longer available in the United States (U.S.) for a new global platform is too narrow for the size of the F-150.

Derrick Kuzak, Ford vice president of Global Product Development, said the new global Ranger is about the size of the F-150 now and that U.S. buyers prefer to spend less money for a larger vehicle with greater capacity.

"But if two trucks are so close in size, why not take the M-150 companies worldwide and get rid of the Rangers in total?" Kuzak said, as quoted in Autoblog, Tuesday (21/09/2010 .)

Kuzak recorded the compact pickup market in the U.S. has declined over the past 15 years, down from eight percent of the industry in 1994 to around two percent.

Still, Ford said that, on average, still be able to sell about 75,000 a year Ranger.

"They are looking for accessible transportation in the Ford line we are and the more advanced, we offer a transportation alternative that is more affordable than it ever did," said Kuzak

F-150 uses a more efficient machine. Buyers can get a large truck with a V6 3.7-liter naturally aspirated 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6. Both machines are connected to a six-speed automatic.

Ford has not released specific to the fuel savings will occur, but probably about 24.5 miles per gallon in combined cycle. Since the Ranger, F150 has a much greater capacity.
