Other than that it's not bad..
Dang optical illusions!!! The mirror is moved so the driver can see what's behind them. That's why it looks wierd.

True to Ford's idiotic marketing; they're hyping the "3-bar grill". But if you look at the actual grills (F250, Ranger, Fusion, etc.) there are only two bars. They should call it the 3-gap grill.

These new Rangers are stupid. They've lost their identity. Why not just buy an empty F-150 then you can at least have a big v6 or a v8?

I like the tail-lights and the Ranger badge a lot, but those new mirrors and the centered logo on the tailgate definitely aren't my cup of tea.

not to mention they could be used as costers. there freaking huge.

tyler (killermonki from GE) and i were talking. just about everything from the fenders to the ford badges are huge, they just make the truck look smaller.

The alignment pins on the new 06 badges fit the holes in the 05-back fenders perfectly.
