Yet Another Truck We Don't Get - Ford Ranger Wildtrack

Yet-Another-Truck-We-Dont-Get-Ford-Ranger-Wildtrack.jpeg

First the Hilux, then Mahindra, and now the new Ford Wildtrack are on the list of totally awesome diesel pickup trucks that we cannot get in North America. This peppy, and stylin' little Ford pickup will get a 5 cylinder diesel. As usual, emissions standards are so stringent that our market is simply unattractive for manufacturers to try and bring their diesel pickups here. Also, to meet our strict regulations means you have to neuter the vehicle, and lose any fuel efficiency it once had.

For now we can dream. Maybe one day we will be able to enjoy a small affordable diesel pickup. Until then we are stuck with very large, and extremely expensive diesel pickups.

Both PickupTrucks.com and MahindraPlanet.com did some good coverage of the new Ford Ranger Wildtrack introduced in the 2011 Geneva Motor Show.
