Whats something you wished was made for Rangers?

I would love to have some long tube headers made for my 4.0 SOHC engine. I do plenty of pulling, but don't have the money a different truck, so I'm stuck with it for a while. I just would like to have a solid bump in mid range power.

On the same coin I would love an off road Y pipe to be made. I could make one myself, but just would rather spend some $$ for a quality product instead of the screwing around it would take.

What else would you guys like to see?

Yeah that should have done some engine changes when the 2006+s dropped. 210hp 4.0 was cool back in 01-03 but after the Colorado and the 04+ Tacos dropped with 250+hp and 3.?s it kinda got old.

How are they the same? Completely different from the current U.S. Ranger. They are more like an Explorer with a bed.

Do you realize these are things that people "wished" were on their ranger. That's the thread, doesn't matter if it would happen or not. just sayin

I usually wonder that each time you post.

anyhow, while they are different its about the same, i mean a ranger with 4 doors, your bed is going to be worthless just like the Sport trac. I just dont see the need in making a 4 door ranger, but thats what you guys would want i guess, no need to start a argument lol..

an updated interior, more options, better drive-train components, better engine options like a diesel, more powerful v6 like most small trucks, a hybrid would be cool (joking)
