Raptor was not killed - at least not yet

The shift of BOSS is such a big move, and Ford IS re-thinking their whole truck plan - that some people assume the Raptor will be canceled - it is no doubt being re-evaluated - but as a limited volume high profile high profit vehicle - there is no need to cancel it - it will sell the 10,000 or so units a year they had planned for it. IT might get an axe, but it has not yet

I think this is a good move on the Ranger - if they can get SAB in without much difficulty, they should do it. Also I like the point about South Africa as the source of future US Rangers - I never connected those dots.
