OK one comment here - the one reason why crew cab is not offered in Us is because it was not safe enough - Ford could not get it there - the Ranger hasa crew cab - in South America.

The Interior could use a touch up, but there is nothing wrong with it. If this truck does stay in production the only change you will see is addition of side airbags - the new one is 2 years away - it is not worth a full on redesign not even a new interior - after all Ranger has the reputation of the best assembled interior in the segment.
