It REALLY ticks me off that Ford is discontinuing the Ranger, and Mopar the Dakota series. I think this is flawed thinking brought about by skewed results due to the poor economy. In this part of the country, there are lots of them.
I saw a Ford Focus pickup model, no ****! There were about 6 in the back lot of a Ford dealership here in Long Beach, CA. Wonder what happened to that idea, a sub compact truck, ala Rampage? Perfect high mileage and enough room to take a few bushes to the dump or a engine block across town? Im still looking for a Diesel VW truck, my sisters old diesel VW rabbit got 50 mpg but couldnt go faster that 65... perfect for my 44 mile commute!
