Ford RangerAmericans would buy cars and trucks from the Big Three automakers if the auto companies would do on simple thing.

Make a solid vehicle that you can trust, day in, day out.  Make it economical to run, on both fuel and maintenance.  Make it comfortable.

My little Ford Ranger is a great example.  It just rolled over 200,000 miles.  I've put in one set of brakes, a clutch and a starter.  It gets 28 mpg.  And lanky 6'3" me has plenty of head room and knee room.

The engine is absolutley reliable and my kids are arguing over who gets her when I buy a new truck.

It may be a while.

I just got rid of my little 17 year old Nissan pick-up. When I bought it friends would always ask why I did,t buy American. I told them that the truck was assembled in Tennessee so in my eyes I might have helped a Japaneese man get rich but I kept 3-4 hundred Americans employed.
