I kinda like it.

nicky919 10-14-2010 07:02 PM

I like it from the windshield back.

Masteratarms93 10-14-2010 08:41 PM

If they offered it hear with the twin turbo ecoboost V6 and a strong off-road package I would buy one. I can compromise on the front end.

ranger4.0 10-15-2010 01:38 PM

looks like a cross between hondas "truck" and a nissan










so in other words... it looks fvcking gay

Taylor 10-15-2010 01:46 PM

i would like it.....after i used it as a battering ram into a tree to make the front end look better.

dixie_boysles 10-15-2010 01:50 PM

lol thats about the only thing its good for!

Twiztid 10-15-2010 02:18 PM

I wouldnt pay for it, but Id gladly stump jump with it.

Scrambler82 10-15-2010 02:48 PM

Just a reworked Sport Trac…

StrangerRanger 10-15-2010 04:37 PM

I'd hit it.

2004 FX4 II 10-15-2010 05:16 PM

I don't think it looks bad, just doesn't look anything like a Ranger. I wouldn't drive it.

BigEdge126 10-15-2010 06:13 PM

Any pics of a regular cab? Not a fan of 4 doors.

rangersplash2.3 10-16-2010 09:59 AM

it looks like a min raptor and id rock it for sure

Jrevans2002 10-17-2010 08:15 AM

Keep it over seas, thats a slap in the face!!!! Is it on a car chassis? Or did the put a Focus on a truck frame....That just made the resale value go up on my 07.

+1


The nose needs to go. Everything else is purdy.

i'm not feeling it. the bottom of the window is too high and i agree with the majority's comments about car like looks. it says a 3300lbs payload. is that up from the current model? my brochure says mine is rated at 1580lbs. that must mean that they beefed the suspension.
i did some quick math and i had 1500lbs recently with me (150) and my step dad (195) in my truck and my GVWR is 5280. the math of the cargo, me, stepdad and truck came in at 6k. so i was over by 800lbs? is this right?

Guess the biggest turnoffs would be that it looks...modern, evolved, upgraded...much like every other vehicle that has gone down Ford's assembly lines over the past 30 years. I actually think it looks okay. Still love my Ranger even-though I've been looking at all the 4-door double/crew cab full-size trucks on the market, along with Frontier crew cab and (never thought I say it) a Tacoma double cab. I might even be desperate enough to test drive a Colorado crew cab. :hypnotize After cleaning out 1 business, 2 homes and trying to haul people around, I'm just wishing I had some more space - If the new Ranger came to the US, I'm sure I wouldn't even be considering buying from the competition. Not really fond of the Sport Trac since you basically pay full-size truck price for a compact truck...and it's listed in the "SUV" catagory - If I wanted a SUV I'd get a GLK.

Crapshoot 10-18-2010 11:22 AM

the front end kinda looks like a tundra to me

djfllmn 10-18-2010 11:26 AM

it doesnt look too bad...ive seen worse looking cars...i.e the nissan cube and juke(the worst looking car ever)

ZWilson07 10-18-2010 06:47 PM

yeah I def wouldnt buy that but it does have some upgrades that everyone would like, but the looks just aren't there. Dont mean to hijack but are ya planning anymore mods in the near future?

Chris98 10-18-2010 07:59 PM

This angle makes the truck look sexy.

Then this picture just screams hell no.

Make the front end look like a truck and not a car and I would rock it.

Masteratarms93 10-18-2010 08:02 PM

Everytime I see that picture from the back I jizz in my pants.

bidwell 10-18-2010 10:51 PM

Only thing uglier than a four door car is a four door truck. That thing looks like a four door car with it's trunk lid removed.

Ranger_EDGE 10-19-2010 12:20 AM

i like it! it has chrome! they kept it as a strait axle. they didn't go uni body "fwd" like the new mini van explorer! and i think the truck looks sick!! i like it!! drop a eco boost in it then i would get one! put some 32's AT's on it with some decent rims then it would be set!!

REVOMAN23 10-19-2010 09:48 PM

IT'S TOO BAD FORD!! I AM LOOKING FOR A 4 DOOR MODEL IN THE RANGER AND REFUSE TO SPEND 30 GRAND ON THE SPORT TRAC....THEY SHOULD SELL US A 4 DOOR MODEL HERE IN THE STATES...
