    Default Ford Ranger

    Seen a few already and I'm really impressed by this design from Ford compared to what they've given us in the past.

    Latest Ford Rangers are actually better than their Hilux counterparts.

    The price difference between the Hilux and Ranger is substantial as well.

    Very good (and capable) vehicle but I don't like it.

    My money would be spent on the Amarok.

    Big price difference. Also keep in mind, VW always have that hidden prices for the little extras. It can amount to a shait load.

    New Ranger looks great, heard there is a 6 month waiting list though. I love the Amarok, but wouldn't the Ranger trump the VW in the engine department?

    No.

    It is a Mazda.

    Go back in history and check badge engineering.

    Actually... the new Mazda BT-50 is a badge-engineered Ford.

    Actually in this case I get totally confused ~ in the past all the Fords were badge engineered Mazdas, or Fazdas for short, and in this particular case I don't know which was the chicken and which was the egg!

    And yes, @ rorZ0r certainly prettier than a Toyota or a Subaru, and I'm sure it might even be as capable as them too...
    And now to...

    The chicken has become the egg in this instance - they've swapped roles. Not that I'd buy either chicken or egg, but that's neither here nor there.
