[QUOTE="Duane Foster, post: 1003121, member: 70985"] Overall, Ford does seem to be doing well, but they have a long history of increasing the size of a given model resulting in declining sales of that model. The T-Bird, Falcon, 3rd Gen Mustang, Fairlane/Torino, all out-sized their original predecessors. On the plus side, all those models/nameplates had a good long run, aside from the Falcon, and even it lasted 11 model years. The truck situation is different in that they just quit making the small trucks. Even the full sized trucks are much bigger and upscale than they used to be. Around here you can find all the highly optioned 2013 F150 SuperCrews you could ever want to see. But you'd be hard pressed to find a decent selection of stripped down "farm" or fleet type work trucks. I think Ford will have to bring back the Ranger/Sport Trac in a couple of years, and it will have 4 doors. When I started looking for a truck to replace my '94 Explorer several months ago, I was originally looking for an '01-'04 Super Crew until I walked up to one on a lot and realized how big it really is. They had an '01 Sport Trac too. That's when I realized the Sport Trac was what I was looking for. Didn't buy that one, but the same dealer has another lot down the street where I eventually bought my ST. A lot of people are like me and don't want/need a bigger truck. [/QUOTE]
