I had an 06 4.0 Mustang that I traded in for my 2006 FX4 L2. I swear it feels the truck is almost as fast as the Mustang was...

does anyone have any quarter mile times for the 4.0 Ranger, preferably one with an FX4 package, or 4.10 gears?


The Mustang could do about 15 flat, probably more If i pushed her..

And yes, I realize it's a truck and not meant for speed! It's just nice having some power.

 

I've got a few bolt ons... hope these answer your questions. (I have 4.10s and auto tranny)

That's quicker than I expected. Thanks. Where did you get your bullbar?

 

www.stuffforyourranger.com He's a supporting vendor here. Excellent guy to deal with.

On that day my shift points were a little low. But.. it really won't improve ETs according to my car test software. Trap speed would have been a little higher though. Honestly.. the track that day was very sticky and my ET's won't be any better w/o loosing weight and/or adding power. Even launching in 4x4 slowed my 60ft. I doubt the next time I go out I'll be able to get those 60fts. Shoot.. I was PB'ing to 2500 and in the vid you can see it was barely spinning at all. There is no way I could do that on the street.

She'll be in the 14s this year.

I raced a few V6 stangs (older ones) and tookem. My truck wasnt stock though. I outran a V6 tachoma (new) so I estimate the truck ran in the low 15s if not high 14s.

 

The average I can find as far as magazine road tests is 16.3 @ 86 MPH for a 4x4x with 4.10. That seems about right to me. Actually pretty quick for a truck.

IMO that's about right for a stock one. My ETs were a bit low/quick because of the tracks abnormal stickyness that day. And at the time I was pushing about 25-30 more ft lbs of TQ than in pure stock form.

bone stock 2wd xlt 4.0 auto, 3.55 open diff and spinning forever and a day best i ever got was 15.6 in the 1/4

 

bone stock, 4.0, 4.10's and a 5 speed 15.86 on my Gtech.

 

I've taken it once:
16.6 @ 84mph with a 2.8 60'. The DA was in excess of 5800' all day.
v6 ponies were running 16.8s and higher that day

One of these days I'll go out with my mustang tires and see if I can 60' better. The truck has the mph for a high 15 run even with a poor DA. Just have to work on the 60'.

4x4, 4.10s, 4.0L v6, 30" tall tires -- as stock as stock can be.

 

I pulled a 14.630 at 93mph

 

I'm suprised by that time, that is cookin for a truck. Is your truck still mostly stock?

 

Small world....I traded my 05 V6 in on my 07 FX4 L2! I love it, especially when those 4.10's hook up!! Unfortunately, my Ranger can't come close to beating my Fox...LOL

 

I hope there is some giggly, or an EE under there. do tell.

 

I average about a 17.91 at 77MPH at elevation with mine.

Fastest time, 17.75 at 78 mph... that was with a.382 light and a 2.707 60'

 

Unless you've added a power adder.. B-O-G-U-S! There is no way a stock FX4 pulled that in a 1/4 mile.

Now, if you did add something? Do tell.

thats the exact same time ive run in my truck, and i know you need a lot to pic up the slack of the stock 4.0 in the ranger.

 

I think that should be more like 17.4

 

thats too low MPH for that time.

 

for what time? 14.6? ive got 3 slips all with 92-94 mph.

 

oh well **** me then.

 

prove it!!!

 

I've rode in Chris' truck lotsa times and it will haul for a 6 cyl.

Here's one of his slips...

even though i dont want to turn this into a toyota vs. ford post, i'll still fulfill the request.


since B already posted one, here is the other from that night. Both this run, and the one B posted, were against an 05+ mustang gt.


Ive got to find my other stack of slips thats got the third one. But ive got plenty of slips. Lots of 14.7s/8s/9s as well, all with similar traps.
