Ford Ranger could be reintroduced in USA, new Bronco rumoured - PerformanceDrive

Reports from the USA indicate a strong possibility of the Australian-developed T6 Ford Ranger being produced and sold in the USA in the near future. One possible reason for Ford’s change of heart is the re-introduction of the Colorado by General Motors, as well as a refreshed Toyota Tacoma (loosely similar to our HiLux). Ford Australia undertook the bulk of the Ranger’s development, including the freshly facelifted model and its SUV counterpart, the Everest. Earlier reports confirmed the next-generation Ranger will also be based in Australia, but if the Ranger is re-introduced to the US market a stronger American influence could be expected. The PX-generation Ranger has been a runaway success since its introduction in 2011. It has helped Ford Australia secure more global projects such as the Chinese Escort and Taurus. So far this year (through July), Ford Australia has sold 16,157 4×2 and 4×4 Ranger utes. This makes it the second best-selling model in the lineup, behind the HiLux (21,360).
