Not the Fiesta, but it was cheaper than a Focus. Found the article that mentioned cost as a primary reason for Ford buyers to pick the Ranger: https://cars.usnews.com/cars-trucks/...ing-the-ranger

But anyway, since trucks are considered somewhat aspirational here in Brazil, even those small coupé-utilities derived from subcompacts have been sold for a premium despite being cheaper to manufacture.
