Is This Maybe The New 09 Ford Ranger?

[gnardoom]

those are both ugly heaps. doesnt matter to me though my next one is going to be about a 99 with a sohc 4.0, they are way nicer those those piles of crap.

 

[94 4.0 5-spd 4wd ranger]

the cab on the first looks like a generation 3 or 4's cab. the hood kinda looks like a late 90's early 2000's explorer sport trac hood with modified fenders, grill, and bumper. The bed looks like they may have actually designed it. I just hope to god that if that is the new ranger that they left a solid axle under the back and didn't do what they did to the explorer sport trac

if ford was smart, do what dodge fullsize does 2wd gets ifs and 4wd ranger gets solid axle front, bring the new diesel over/(or **** oil companies and make it hydrogen v6/v8 ), crewcab. and id buy anew 1.

oh yeah skip on the plastic 2

I like them both. If Ford imported the Thailand Ranger without screwing it up. I may buy one. But as usually, we all know the answer, which it will never happen because we Americans are special. So 250K miles sounds like a good mark to aim for on my 96' Ranger. Maybe by then, I can show my future son/daughter what a real truck was back in the day.

The first one is nice looking. Bet, any truck worth it's name need metal bumbers, chrome one the better. Not plastic cover...

What hapeened to tough @ss american styling?

That died in 1988

I like the first one. Although, it looks like a Frontier. Really rugged looking too.

The second one looks like a Tacoma and pretty weak looking.

totaly. the second is week for sure. but i bet it would look good with a diferent front bumber and lowered. but the first one looks cool

eh, either way no matter how bad ford will screw up theres gunna be some aftermarket company to make it all better.

 

[stegomon]

i like it...it does look like the sploder...but it could grow on me...way better than the new SD

Ranger XLT 4x4 Crew Cab Diesel. Make it a bio-diesel and I'd buy one.

all diesels can run on bio

I've heard they do and they don't. I don't currently own a diesel, so I haven't botherd to do the research, but I do know that it takes about $1000 to "convert" a diesel engine into a bio-diesel. I would love to see someone take a brand new $45,000 truck off the lot, and do nothing but dump some veggie / peanut oil into it. I can't imagine it would work (properly).

You only need to do a conversion if you want to run WVO. (Waste vegetable oil). That's old frying oil that came straight from a restaurant, no refining or anything. Bio-diesel is diesel fuel made from vegetable oil that has already been refined. You can run it in any diesel engine without any sort of conversion.

 

[low~n~blue]

kool!

the first one would look soooo baddass lowered with some nice deep dish wheels!!! i'd be a happy guy if it comes out looking like the first one, id NEVER buy the second one, id rather walk.

 

[177CIOfPureLove]

I dont know. The only reason I am with the first one is because its still a compact pickup. Other than that i think its really goofy looking. The second one looks just like the tacoma or a colorado....the thing that bothers me is that with gas the way it is why arent people looking at the economical Ranger? It seems these bigger pigish trucks are still selling despite. Call me crazy.
