Why no V8 in the rangers?

Shiat! I just researched this and yes it's true. It's gonna be gone. That really sucks. These trucks were priced pretty reasonable. Now the F150's are just priced way too high and most of us can't afford them so their gonna need to lower the prices on them or their sales will really be down.

I think ford is going to drop the ranger and make a mid size truck with the V8 option like dodge dakotas
the fully equipped rangers cost almost as much as F150s

Reason why people don't put V8's in the Ford Ranger:
1)Will cost to much
2)Alot of cutting and welding would be done because most Rangers are too compact under the hood.
3)The truck is light and if that motor gets put in it, the Little Danger Ranger would be under alot of Danger, because the back wouldn't be heavy enough- unless you fix that problem.

Well.....they really need to do something. Most guys with 4x4 4.0 are getting crap for mileage, just ask me. And with only 200 HP, somethings wrong.
GM claims 20 MPG with 315 HP in their half-tons.
Come on Ford....get in the game. I would even go for the 265 HP 3.5 out of the Edge. Six-speed auto....4:10 gears, now your cook'in!

The Ranger is designed to be a mid-sized truck that is supposed to be good on gas, thats why there are no V8s in Rangers. Also the Power to weight ratio is ridiculous like other people have already said. I still want a V8 in My Ranger though. It would be really cool if they made a new Ranger with a turbo diesel in it, but unfortunately they are closing the Ranger factory.
