Hi there!

[muthertrucker]

I have a 2000 ranger flareside sport 2.5L, torsion bar suspension, trailhead package with 4.10 rears. I was surprised to learn what a unique little monster I have. I was curious if anyone out there knows how many of this concept configuration were produced in Aug 1999 and how many of these are still surviving.

Welcome!!!

I had the v6 edge version. Thats torsion bars, 4.10, 5 speed, rubber floors, roller windows. Its actually lowered in this Pic it was tall like a 4x4


Just sold it this year to a buddy who loved it from all the times he had previously borrowed it over the years

2.5L with torsion bars has to be rare... in all the years I've been here there's never been any huge amount of statistics on how many of what around...

That is what I understand, so I am truly curious about that. I bought my truck from an old fella who just thought it to be a normal truck, but he never really had anything done to it. I have been trying to show it a little love and discovered its oddities when trying to get parts that actually fit it lol. Now that I have been learning why nothing seems "right" it's actually rather exciting to me because I have never owned anything "rare" lol. I mean I know it's not a supercar, or anything miraculous... but hey...i will settle for "not too many out there" lol. I just would be curious to the actual produced vs survivor stats. Mine has over 216k on the odometer and still runs like a new one, so I have to hope there are others.
