Just on Ranger sales,
The 4x4 Ranger keeps outselling 4x4 Hilux, the new Ranger is turning the tide finally but I’m wondering
what Toyota has planned in the next Hilux evolution, there will be a fight back and Ford must be ready.
The best thing Ford could do is up deliveries even more so that the time lag is down to say, a month but
yeah I know, Thai production allocation and engine supply is probably the limiting factor.
I dont think Toyota care too much about what others are doing, they'll happily let Ford fill the private Ranger market whilst they continue selling everything of everything else they can get.
14k sales in the top 10 as is, why invest to appease 7-800 buyers that may or may not be swayed anyway.
