The Diesel fuel in the US is slowly being changed to the low sulphur type available in Europe. But the real advantage of Diesel engines in the US will be the emergence of Bio Diesel.<BR/><BR/>Shawn, I hope you're right, but just remember what Ford did with the Focus. It's not unthinkable that they will continue to build the old Ranger in the US and not bring this new one over. And if they do bring the new Ranger, it will more than likely be built in Thailand, not the US.Big Ford Fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649352599746912038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11852104.post-1141762707263644252006-03-07T15:18:00.000-05:002006-03-07T15:18:00.000-05:00The reason why I don't think this story is true is...The reason why I don't think this story is true is because Ford will keep a vehicle around as long as it is making money. Ranger is making $$$. I just don't think Ford will kill it when it is still pretty strong fleet sales.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11852104.post-1141760408773641852006-03-07T14:40:00.000-05:002006-03-07T14:40:00.000-05:00It's a pitty that Ford doesn't make a crew-cab ( X...It's a pitty that Ford doesn't make a crew-cab ( XLT Supercabine 4 persons for Europe ) available to the USA market ... On the other hand we don't have the F-series in Europe available but some people import one from the US ;)<BR/>Don't know if the DIESEL fuel in the USA has the same chemical make-up as the European but I guess the vehicle should make it to the US market and becoming a great asset in the Ford sales as it would be a small/medium engine available to the US !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
