Ranger Petition

[The Toolman]

THis is a long dead arguement, Ford hates money so they discontinue the best selling midsize car, the taurus, now they are discontinuing the best selling small pick up (after overpricing it fo rthe last 5 years)

Why? because Ford hates money, duh........
What we have to do is take our old worn out POS's and mod them to suit our needs, or just shut the hell up, spend the money and get a yota.
Theres no petition that can stop that, it's not a thought........... it's a fact.

New 3.7 V6

305HP at 6,500 RPM
280 TQ at 4,250 RPM
.......

No thanks.

I'll keep my 220 TQ at 2,400 RPM that my 4.0 produces.

Now, if they made a new motor, maybe 4.2 or 4.3 liter with around 300 TQ at 2,500 RPM, then sign me up.

they do. You're looking at the peaks, not the curve.

The really important characteristic of these downsized engines is the torque that's made possible by turbocharging and direct injection. The charge cooling effect of the direct injection allows Ford to run 16 psi of boost, which helps the 2.0-liter engine generate 250 pound-feet of torque from 1,750-4,000 rpm. The old 4.0-liter peaked with 254 lb-ft at 3,700 rpm, but didn't have the flat torque curve of the new smaller engine.

Now imagine what the 3.5+L will do.

I approve. I'll be more than happy for the job. I'll be pleased to drive the car hauler too!

Think of the jobs we can create!
