Which is pretty common.
And...it will be based on one of the carlike bases rather than an actual pickup as we once knew the Ranger to be
. It'll be like a 4 door explorer or probably more the size of an escape but with a truck bed...think Explorer Sport Trac again .
The first Sport Trac WAS a 4dr Ranger.And...it will be based on one of the carlike bases rather than an actual pickup as we once knew the Ranger to be
And once again another thread of the same thing that gets posted year after year...until its sitting on a car lot I wouldn't think too much of it...and with the designs being thrown around I wouldn't want one, the bed is totally useless in those things...again think Explorer Sport Trac. I want a damn truck so I can tow/haul, not go shopping at the mall.
All Ford needs to do is go pull their drawings out of the closet from the 80's and start building the real Ranger again, nevermind all the electronic shit, nevermind the stupid "ecoboost" shit, just build a damn truck that will actually last more than a few years without falling apart and for god sakes no aluminum cans in them.
What parts of the Sport Trac were Ranger based? The only significant component I can think of that was even shared between the 2 would be the 4.0 SOHC.
Front suspension, front interior, engine/trans/tcse, 31 spline 8.8 similar to an FX4 but with disk brakes and no torson.
I dunno...we had a ranger while I was deployed in 2011, was still kicking when I went back in 2013, it had that 5 cylinder diesel in it and man talk about a truck that took a beating! I when I came home in 13 I thought about converting my 91 SXT to a diesel but I would have to get the motor from an overseas vender and do ALOT of converting. That guy had a lot of low end torque that would be perfect for off road and killer MPG. I do like your power max idea tho!
