This is good news

Now if they would only offer a real MID size truck.:bangin:

I love the F150 but serious its just to big to drive everyday, for an everyday vehicle. (no matter what the gas mileage is)
I want a mid size truck.(just to bad Ford doesn't have one)
Wish they would stop worrying about sales cutting into the F150 line(they are losing sales totally)
I bought nothing but Fords for the past 26 years but they just aren't picking up on this one.

For the first time in 26 years I wound up buying another product besides a Ford because of this very reason.

Now when and if Ford does finally decide to release a real mid size crew cab pickup I will be on-line trading in the one I just bought.

Its not all about gas mileage:spend:

:shock: ;-)

+1 ...that must have killed you. Jim!

yeah, Ford really needs to bring the new Asia-market Ranger here until they can re-enter this market with a modern small/mid-size north-american product. The full-size P/Us keep getting bigger which would seem to make a small-mid P/U opportunity even more desireable.

I'm almost afraid to ask what you bought :hide: ;-)
