kscarbel2 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 FYI - The industry standard is to have a 60 days of inventory on dealer lots.According to J.D. Power, the average Colorado stays on the lot for only 13 days, making it the fastest-selling pickup on the market.Ford couldn't have been more wrong about the pent-up demand for mid-sized pickup trucks.

Timothy Maikshilo Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 In NZ the Ranger is out selling Toyota which has never happened in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmyb Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 It's a good ute. Resale value is very good too, was looking at a 2nd hand one. Will it be sold in North America? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kscarbel2 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 It's a good ute. Resale value is very good too, was looking at a 2nd hand one. Will it be sold in North America?It's a superb mid-sized ute (aka. bakkie, pickup). Ford claims they've decided not to sell the Ranger in the US (the world's largest ute market) fearing it would steal sales away from the full-sized F-150. Of course, that notion is ridiculous. A mid-size customer never wanted a full-size ute in the first place. And, the full-size F-150 with the 2.7-liter Ecoboost is severely lacking in "Eco", something the mid-size customer is specifically looking for in addition to convenient size.So in a nutshell, the Ford global Ranger ute is available in every global region, except North America. Go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Horse Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 As I see the situation, the fear is the Ranger T-6 is too close to f-150 size wise and would only canibalize 150 sales. As for the new GM "Canyorado", the ford party line appears to be those trucks are satisfying the pent up ,mid size demand and will eventually fall of in terms of numbers.

41chevy Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 So the mid size sales go to GM, Toyota, Nissan and Honda... 1 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Maikshilo Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 The GM market in NZ which is called Holden sells the Canyon P.O.S. like they are in the states and there are many around but the Ford is now top dog here. Ford gives the Cockey's (Farmers) a great discount on them. Lots of room and the diesel is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
