The euro 2.9s were matching the US 4.0 for power. Without a turbo. The 2.9 wasnt as "civilized" as the 3.0, which is another reason it was killed. The 3.0 lost out to a frickin 4 cylinder.You said it yourself, "the 3.0 was used in a lot of stuff" where as the 2.9 was only used in the ranger.... Seems like they were scared to use it in anything else. Untapped potential doesn't matter, you can put a turbo on anything if you really wanted to. Once I get my truck fixed I will be ready to spank any 2.9 out there (if there is one running around here) haha.
fair point.Ok now that's just ridiculous... they are both equally stupid.
