Yeah, it appears to be Europe market model based my my link below.
(Ford) - Europe, tell us what you want and we'll build it.
(Ford) - U.S., we'll limit our models and you're going to have to buy what we decide to build for you.

Another world ranger another loss by ford! Make a mini 250 tremor and it will sell like hot cakes with the 5.0!

Still waiting on Fords PCO. Only way I get into a Ford. Otherwise I’m going back to dodge/Jeep!

Wish I could give you mine! I got a $3,000 PCO about 45 days after I bought my Tremor.

I love how people say "I wish <Insert Manufacturer here> would build <Insert undesirable, unsellable model here> ".

Back on topic, isn't the euro raptor just a tarted up FX4 with a god awful diesel? The problem with the Ranger is it is 90% the price of a comparable F-150 with 50% of the capability.

I told to a friend of mine who had a Gen 1 Raptor and now a 17 250 6.7 Platinum, he can give me his PCO. It seems that the only people that get the pco spends $100k's on ford products. Which is cool, however when you stop making the FIST or the Focus RS or when you build a crap world ranger, but wonder why no one is buying your product....

Why should one have to spend $70k on a 150/250 to get options that come on a $35k tacoma or $40k jeep or $25k fiesta st?

And people wonder why they will lost $6 billion in 3 months....

You like the look of the current ranger? Yes I agree its way too expensive. My complaint was ford did not redesign the ford ranger they simply took the ranger they had been selling in Thailand for the last 10 years and brought it here. Nice re-gifting ford.

Uhhhhhh....I have a fully optioned 19 lariat special edition and one of my brothers has a fully optioned 19 raptor. Have another brother with a maxed out Tacoma. The Tacoma is not anywhere near in the same ballpark regarding options, interior quality, etc. not even remotely close. It is a nice truck for what it is though. Bad comparison.

A 35K Tacoma will get you about the same level of tech and standard equipment as a 302A XLT. They'll be pretty close in price too.
