From the Detroit Free Press: Ford confirmed Monday that it will not sell the next generation of the compact Ford Rangerpickup truck in North America after 2011. However, a larger version of the Ranger that will be sold in all markets outside North America will be unveiled Oct. 15 at an autoshow in Sydney, Australia. Rangers became available in the U.S. in 1982, and sales here peaked in 1999, at slightly more than 348,000, according to Ward's AutoInfoBank. But only 55,600 sold last year.
