Should Ford Bring A Raptor Version Of The Ranger To The US?

We know it’s coming to Australia. The Ford Ranger, dead in the US since 2011, will return here in 2019 and, hopefully not long after that, the off-road Raptor spec will make an appearance. Ford has already announced the Ranger Raptor will debut very soon in Australia, so there’s a very good chance it’ll come stateside as well. Ford hasn’t confirmed this yet, but based on the success of the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2, it’d be a dumb decision not to have a US market Ranger Raptor.

The answer is HELL YES. I can see them driving off the lot. The Raptor is an easy sale. A more affordable version would be easy money.

It is so obvious that why even ask the question
Ford should bring any vehicle to the US for sale that expands the brand and can be sold for increased profits - to increase the price of the stock for investors.

WHat is clear in this market is that people are indeed buying the HIGHEST line of a car - GMC Denali is a great example - And I expect Buick Avenir to be the same. WHile cars are getting too expensive for the middle class to purchase now (If there is anything left of the middle class) - the people who do have money want a vehicle to be SEEN in are willing to put up the dollars as well.

THose car companies that are not taking advantage of this are losing out on really profitable sales.
