THE GOOD NEWS: FORD IS RESURRECTING THE RANGER IN THE U.S.!

THE BAD NEWS: IT LOOKS JUST LIKE THE OLD ONE

Ford fans rejoiced for about a half-hour after news broke that a new mid-sized Ranger pickup would again be built and sold in the U.S.

Then the photos surfaced.

“It’s the same truck they sold back in 2011, except they hung some new lights and a lame Aston-Martin grille on it.” said disillusioned Ranger fan Pogo Speeler. “I waited more than three years for this?”

Ford, however, claimed the new Ranger will meet the needs of thousands of aluminum can collectors, independent Dish Network installers, and former Isuzu P’up owners.

“Well, I won’t buy one,” said Speeler, shaking his head. “I’d rather drive a Courier.”
