Nation wide Micro Chip shortage.

That’s what I was told almost a year ago. We should soon be getting caught up on those microchips wouldn’t you think?

Bought a new Ranger for my wife April 21st, it is supposed to be here May 18th. Lariat with the packages she liked.

That sounds reasonable.

Talked with a lady last winter that had one of the new Rangers, she puts on 700 km a day 6 days a week. Prairie ice road travel was OK only 12 days last winter on her daily trips.
Figures by next year it will be time for a new one,250,000 km so she was going to order at Easter for one on time.
Get one with a sliding back window, helps with flow through

Last year it was 6++ months for my daughters Hybrid Toyota
got her to write in the offer to purchase if not on time then winter tyres were included
she held them to it, when the months started to go past 6
Brother ordered a Madza made in Mexico was going to be 8 months out

That big dealership in Alberta when the Indian reserve royalities come in that lot will be MT. They send a bus load of hutterites out to drive back 40 trucks at a time They each get 1000$ (back then) for gas and the rest is theirs when they get home. After the first year they learned to drive slower and not burn as much, and some of them even visited their cousins in Alberta and Sask and got some of that colonies gas. Then the GPS tracking went on....each truck

Not when the Government want to shove E-vehicles down our throats, or up the other end.

The new diesel Ranger is supposed to be released in North America in 2023. Supposed to get 32 mpg overall, that would certainly reduce fuel costs. Anybody in cold country does NOT want an electric vehicle, unless you have a heated garage. And the range is significantly curtailed in cold weather, especially when running the heater.

I wonder how the diesel Colorado compares to a diesel Ranger?

Never knew they made a ranger with a diesel option?

Last one I ordered was in 2006 it 3 months is all.
Took extra 40 days just because it was a manual.
And a plane Jane model.

They're in Africa and Europe, and I think maybe South America. I rented one for several weeks when hunting in SA and kept track of the liters and kilometers, then at home I calculated a hair over 32mpg, this was a 3L powertrain with tons of torque. Just about dead on to ford's sticker, Google Ford Diesel Ranger, I think they will offer 2-3 engines.

Ordered a tundra in February, it arrived in middle of March.

Not sure if the higher mileage will help enough with the price of diesel fuel....ugh

We just got 4 in for work. Have 6 more ordered. Dealer said probably not going to get it this year.
Little better if you want a diesel.
