The Ford Ranger is back in America

[Kensington]

No way in hell the 3.5 makes it in, and IMO no way the 3.0 makes it in either, considering the base engine is the 2.3. Next logical step up would be the 2.7

 

[Chet Donnelly]

Explorer starts at the 2.3 and it will have the 3.0, and has the 3.5 now.

 

[Kensington]

Yeah, the current 3.5 is going bye bye. The Gen II 3.5 is going to be reserved for full size (F-150, Navi, Expo).

The 3.0 would just put the Ranger Raptor too close in performance to the current Raptor. Gotta keep the king of the hill on top.

 

[The Beast]

I hope they post clear

They are crystal clear on my phone

 

[nytebyte]

Looks clear to me.

I want one.

 

[Yaj Yak]

the 2.3 is a solid motor right?

 

[Kensington]

the 2.3 is a solid motor right?

When they aren’t popping head gaskets

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Thought only the RS/hi-po 2.3s were having issues whereas the pedestrian 2.3s were fine?

 

[bimmer4life]

Thought only the ST/hi-po 2.3s were having issues whereas the pedestrian 2.3s were fine?

I am only aware of the 2.3 RS motor which is the only one that has the cross drilled deck. which I believe they are going to use in the ranger.

I was being a smart ass

I was actually legitimately curious.

Yeah, the RS is the only ones, so far, that have seen them from the factory. It's rumored they got the pedestrian head gaskets instead of the RS spec.

I've heard of some guys that are turning up the boost on their Mustang's that have problems, but that's not all too surprising.

Pricing is up.

[nytebyte]

Well shit. It looks like I'm gonna be spending $40K on this bitch because I want it all.

Nice truck.

 

[Yaj Yak]

no 6 and a half foot bed super crews.


mehhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[GTPpower]

I was hoping this would stay under 20k.

 

[Yaj Yak]

i mean, i didn't see a glimmer of that happening whatsoever.

 

[Chester Copperpot]

Ranger Raptor with the rumored 7.0L kthx.

 

[Lead Pipe]

So I'm guessing it's still too early for MPG and towing capacity info?

 

[Kensington]

Priced very similarly to the Colorado...built a nicely equipped one for mid 30’s. I’d have to see it in person and sit in it before making a decision. Decently equipped full size truck is basically the same price though, at least for the first couple years of the Ranger.

 

[GTPpower]

i mean, i didn't see a glimmer of that happening whatsoever.

I was really hopeful, but now that I looked, I didn't know a base f150 supercab was 31k.

 

[Yaj Yak]

Ranger Raptor with the rumored 7.0L kthx.

can we get ANYTHING with that rumored motor kthx

 

[GTPpower]

I'd be happy with a projected torque curve from that thing.
