wow, looks pretty cool (like an edge) :) , i like the bumper!

wonder if it has lowered edge susp.?

 

STX = 4x2 only? I thought the old (~genII era) STX was a badass 4x4 package. I remember someone wheeling one pretty hard when I was in HS.. Doesn't sound like the package adds anything other than a few trim items.. Disapointing..

 

It says ford makes lowering coils for it, so it's prolly coil spring suspension on an otherwise edge-like ranger with a few styling differences.. Sounds pretty cool though, I'd trade up for it!

 

Anybody notice the picture? A 2003 grille with that FRPP body kit fascia. Other than that, I don't know what really makes it different.

 

that looks pretty cool...:D

 

since when does the "3.0-liter OHV V-6 that delivers 148" last i checked it made 154hp

i wonder if that is really how it is going to look

 

looks really cool... i like that they are gonna offer the wipple on it

 

Yea I'm kinda disappointed they gave it the STX name if it's a street truck. I think it looks pretty slick and sounds like ford wants to get into the customization scene with it, I just don't see why they're giving it the STX name.

 

i thought it wa a 4x4 too because my friend has one that is but i dunno. i guess they are trying to get with the street scene i guess

 

I like it. I wonder if it'll be available in Canada....

Anyone know the link for the Ford Performance Parts site, as they mentioned it a few times about the add-ons you could get for the STX.

 

Here's the site. I've only found the Ranger lowering parts on it, no body kits for it though. I have the new 2005 catalog as well, no ranger body parts, and no ranger whipple supercharger. Of course, I bet if you called them or your local ford dealer up, they would have a listing.

http://www.fordracingparts.com/home/home.asp

They have a lot of stuff listed as coming soon:
Wheel packages, styling kits, and performance packages.
SO, that means they're coming, but no part #'s as of yet.

 

I would gladly trade up for one... hhrrmmm...

 

Well i guess they brought it back to compete with the Xtreme s-10.

 

Thanks for the link, too bad no pictures of some of the products...

 

I thought the colorado replaced the S-10?

 

They have an Xtreme Colorado now....It's even uglier than a normal Colorado...

Back to the STX....

I waNt the rest of the body kit that was SUPPOSED to have gone with it....BOOOOOOOOOOO

 

I heard this floating around before in the past. I like the idea of another 'Street' Ranger since the Splash is gone. If you all remember back, the EDGE was originally the 'replacement' for the Splash, but it more or less turned into the 4x4 mongrel of Ranger's with the 4x4 suspension and 2wd. Later 4x4 became available, IIRC.

They need to bring back the Splash-Type Ranger's to compete back in this market.

Come on Ford, do what you did in the Mid to late 90's with the Splash! Give us the damn 4.0 SOHC and a stick with the standard cab Flare-Side!

 

too bad they stopped making the flareside

 

its on a 4x2 xl/xlt suspension....

start 04 all the edges, 4x4s, and 4x2 have the same front end, no special hoods or grilles (besides different colors)

 

Did you guys see this part
"Want to give more power to the standard 3.0-liter V-6? That's easy. Just install the Ranger Whipple Supercharger. Available through Ford Racing Performance Parts, this kit creates a super-charged engine achieving 230 hp at 5,400 rpm and 260 lb.-ft. of torque at 3,000 rpm. It is an easy-to-install system that fits under the hood with no permanent modifications to the vehicle and no wiring. "

I wonder if it comes from Ford is it covered under warrenty ? I doubt it but I don't know

 

BTW... there is an artical in todays washington post (bussiness section)

 

you know i thought the same thing... untill i was like wait my truck is 2wd and a stx... its ridiculous i have the only stx with 2wd except the new one... but im not complaining :( :( :( but ehh i guess theres a first for everything.

 

^^^lmao
