FYI from drive.com.au, from the Thai factory so I would assume we get the same update at some stage.

I read somewhere recently that Ford is going to be globalizing their styling language so that the Ranger and Everest will share that look, borrowed from the US models I guess. There's even a big push from consumers in the US to have the Ranger return to the US market, though I guess it's gotten too big for that, as I also think I read it was now 90% the size of the F-150?

Here's a teaser video that was released by Ford 2 weeks ago:

Yep, coming to TH next year.

The F-150 is almost 20cm wider, 13cm higher, and up to 1 whole meter longer - and it's around 200KG lighter than the Ranger due to it's aluminum body.

Not in the same class, no matter how you look at it

Looks pretty similar to the existing ranger?

Well spotted James - that's why they call it a 'minor change'

OMG, my 2 year old Ranger is going to look "dated"

though better looking IMHO

The current model is a better looking package.

And whats with Ford using alloy wheels off an old model Aussie Foulcan?
