Performance Packages for the Ford Ranger

I thought the engine upgrade mentioned today was fairly major.
I may be late to the party with this but:

Next Ford Ranger Raptor To Have A Twin-Turbo V6 Engine

Rumors surronding the powertrain of the upcoming Ford Ranger Raptor have swirled for a while now, but a new report suggests it'll feature a Twin-Turbo V6.

They announced the tune while ago:

Ford performance upgrade

So I've been seriously thinking about getting a new ranger and found this article. https://www.carscoops.com/2020/04/ford-performance-gives-the-ranger-a-boost-but-its-no-ranger-raptor/ Doesn't seem like to bad of a deal with warranty.

I should have taken a Ford engineer with me last year across the Trans America Trail so they could better understand where the truck needs improvement.

Needz moar stikerz! And pretty tow hooks!

For a guy that doesn't repeat himself...

I'm seeing way more appearance than performance in these packages.

LOL. Damn phone.

You're not impressed by the different tow hook colors, windshield banner, and license plate frame?

WTF FORD!!

The Next Gen Ranger will get some off cred from this fella... it's gonna happen.

The new Jeep Liberty?

I noticed that too. Stickers, paint, and software are way cheaper to R&D than hardware.

 

[Uncle Gump]

Not so sure I even like you anymore...

I added this news to the site to forever be preserved.

Now to do a write up about how I feel about it.....

Per Jim's mention of the BF Goodrich T/A KO2 tires, I needed to purchase new tires for my 2003 F-250 Super Duty (6.8 V10/ZF6/4x4), and after meticulously researching numerous all-terrain tires, I believe, based upon reviews on-line and personal experience, the Falken Wildpeak A/T3W tires offer the best combination of off-road capability and on-road drivability.

 

[HenryMac]

My experience with BF Goodrich T/A KO2 tires is they are rock throwing sons-a-bitches.

If your truck is mostly a pavement crawler, but you have a gravel driveway, or work somewhere that has a gravel or road base parking lot, avoid T/A KO2's.

The place I used to work had road base in the parking lot. I'd pull out to head home and it sounded like bird shot slamming into the wheel wells and rocker panels.

If your truck is mostly a pavement crawler, sell it and buy a car.

Fixed it for you.

 

[HenryMac]

Fixed it for you.

Unless you are trailing your rig... math, logic and reality are obviously not your strong points.

Ford figured out that the dumbasses with money will pay for anything.
