If we (ford) didn't have the Ranger, would that mean Ford would be pulling out of OZ?

Big difference is Ford Aus is profitable, and can source cars from itself.
Holden must be unprofitable or making very little $ having to slash RRP's just to move cars, on top of having to source vehicles from outside companies. Not to mention GM just does not give a fig about RHD markets now.
Ranger goes to 180+ countries so is available in pretty much all the RHD markets. That keeps it safe. Plus it's very profitable and most of the work is done here.
