Default US Ford to launch Ranger by the dozen

"FORD’S Australian-developed Ranger will make its North American debut in a simplified 12-variant line-up, all powered by the company’s acclaimed 2.3-litre EcoBoost turbo four-cylinder petrol engine linked with a 10-speed automatic transmission."

Anyone else find it quite amusing that Detroit are introducing a foreign developed platform that is nearly a decade old, to the US market?

the platform is aging but that powerpack is brand new, and the car has been redesigned to meet the latest US crash requirements including SORB
