And when I say America, I am colloquially refer to the USA and it's availability to the average USA consumer. Semantically saying that the Americas have the new global Ranger is not affecting what I'm saying. Which is, "I cannot go to my Ford dealership and buy the new Ranger." I really like the global Ranger and would love to own the 2.2L I-4 turbo diesel with a six speed tranny; I am really upset about not being able to own it.
Ah, I see. I have always referred to the Americas as the continents, and North and South as their respective continents with their own countries. My father loved the Ranger, but his deals on F 150s are "too good to pass up." For over a decade he has been talking about the 4 door Ranger, which Ford (in the past, and allegedly) wouldn't make because the Ranger would lose it's class as Small truck and switch to Midsize. Hence the SportsTrac, which is somehow "too big."

But right, they are not available in the US, I am not sure about Canada. I never noted you saying the bold portion, I missed you saying that, I meant specifically that of the North and South American continents, most of the countries have them.
