ford ranger upgrades

[rngrdngr]

why doesnt ford upgrade all the ranger engines to have more performance? as an example, a 4.0 is like 150hp my old chrylsler new yorker had a 3.5L 260hp twin throttle body motor. it had shit loads of power and damn good fuel economy. just seams to me like they wana stay in the back. gut less compared to the gm 4.3 vortech. also why dont they start making rel 4 doors and cut the bed to 5 ft? like the shevy s10's and gm canyons. dont think i hate rangers, i dont i love them thats why i own one.

I believe there is a South American Ranger that is a true 4 door model. With plans for the current US Ranger model to be replaced there no money going for upgrades to that platform let alone anything else.
