Just the right size to touch the ground.
It's all about the perspective you choose to look at. I guess I choose to look at it from a perspective of humor and the fact that Ford doesn't owe me anything. Apparently, some of you think they do. If it's gotten to that level, I'd be looking for a different brand. I've heard several of you say you like Jeeps. What's stopping you?

I personally think Ford was as much making fun of "National Emoji Day" as anything else.

I get it, apparently I have a different take on most everything than the masses here. I'm not one of the cool kids. Practically everything I've commented on has gone against the grain. Maybe I'm just not cut out to own a Ranger. I'll try to stick to the technical stuff from now on.

It was kind of a letdown they didn't follow it up with something really neat but I ain't loosing any sleep over it.

I was expecting news of the Courier. I was blinded by the enthusiasm for a small truck again on various sites so when Mike Levine talked about a new market truck, I over focused. Plus i never heard of Emoji Day before.

I was thinking that Ford was going to introduce the courier as well. Especially with:

Some super cool truck news coming this week. Will meet a huge unmet need.
All this Ranger speculation about this week’s truck news. If you like small trucks you won’t be disappointed.
Can't believe there haven't been spy photos.
Some sites had to go back and update their pages to tell people it was just an emoji. Mike had his fun and got one over on people. It just surprises me that there were so many articles posted online about an upcoming emoji. Who fricken cares? :dntknw: :thefinger:
