2019 Ford Ranger

[FishOnOne]

Well after seeing the new Jeep Gladiator, Chevy's and Ram's HD trucks revealed this new Ford Ranger is by far the best looking truck out of the bunch IMO.

Here's another video from Big Truck Big RV. Looks like the Ranger will have a Electronic Locker and a FX4 package.

We're looking at getting one to replace our 2011 in a few years...the 2011 has been a great truck even being a low capacity truck.

I said imported into Australia and available in Australia.? They all are including the RAM Pickups which are converted by AVECO. How come you listed the Honda Ridgeline as. a Pickup? That is a Coupe Utility , you have less choices and you know it is FALSE to claim otherwise. It is also FALSE AS WELL to say you can US Pickups straight from the Factory

Lol, I love getting you all flustered.

Your quotes 9nly backed up what I stated that the only US trucks you guys get from its respective brand with a warranty and not from some third party is a Ram 1500 and a Ram 2500.

Oh, and the Ridgeline is based off an SUV, not a coupe. However, I put an asterisk next to on the list be abuse some don't see it as a truck a truck. Take it off if you want. It still won't change the fact that we have more pick up truck offerings here that are not conversions.

Nope, you can't get the HDs from the factory as you can see in the links provided.

You have to get them through a third party conversion company just like I can get a Amarok, Hilux, or whatever else I want from south America if I pay to convert to our safety and emissions standards. So if you are counting high priced conversions, we have access to the same trucks you do and then some.

Sorry, but you don't have as many pickup truck choices as we do here and saying that you do is flat out false.

The RAM 2500 and now the RAM 1500, are remanufactured in Australia, by Australians to meet Australian market demands. We provide more than just right hand drive vehicles designed and tuned to tow big loads across our big country, we employ top local engineers, designers and automotive technicians, as well as local component companies to work with us.

A limited listing. Yes there are more choices in Australia. Remember noone gives a dam about 1/2 tons here we get all the US HD's

Nope, false. The only HD truck you get from the factory is a Ram 2500.

Ram Australia

No HD truck here

Holden Australia

or here

Ford Australia

All the rest are conversions. If you want to start adding conversions to the list, then that will make my list from my ealrier post longer since there are companies here that will convert many of the same global trucks you guys have from south America. So I doubt you want to go there.

Nope, not the same. Not nearly the same in size or selection unless you are counting utes, or car with a bed, which are not a pick ups to us. Also, Australia region alone cannot support all those brands as I said we can with ours. If the trucks you have stopped selling elsewhere in the world, they would start dropping off in Australia too. So you guys need others to buy those trucks, we don't with ours which is why I said we don't care if they don't sell elsewhere.

In terms of pick up truck choices from the factory(not converted from an outside company) we have.

Most of these even have cab and chassis versions, but that would not be a pick up. They also all have different cab, bed length, and capability options.

And we are happier with larger, more powerful, and more capable pickup trucks. Hence the reason why we have so many pick up choices to choose from with most of them being full size.

Which sell badly here. Ranger is just behind the Hilux in sales. Hilux is number one " car"

Don't really care how they sell there or anywhere else. Our market is big enough to have several foreign and domestic mid/full size pickup truck manufacturers. So how they sell anywhere else is meaningless.

Same here, the market here has several more manufacturers than the US, that includes foreign as you term it plus US Pickups
