Why do so many Vietnam Vets drive Ford Rangers?

Why do so many Vietnam Vets drive Ford Rangers?

Quality and good gas mileage.

Yeah, I'm not sure that they do. Vietnam Vets are all in their late 60's. The target market for Ford Ranger is 18 to 35. I only say I'm not sure because I can't speak for used truck sales as there's no data on that, but for new truck sales, Ford's own market analysis shows that 90% of buyers of new Ford Rangers are between the ages of 18 and 35.

We like them

Do they?

The truck hasn't been made in nearly a decade. I've never known any Vietnam vets to drive one.
