I was just on fords site and noticed that the 08 sport model is getting the old STX grille.

 

that chick in the green shorts has a flat butt

 

Looks nice..

 

The flat butt or the truck? Personally I like both.

 

hahahahah agree

but i think the 08s still look good

 

I agree, that grill looks good on there, Im glad they got rid of the square headlights, those things are fugly.

 

Maybe so, but you know you'd still hit it.

 

Ohhh i get it.. so the new 08s come with 2 chicks to go with you to the beach when you buy one.

Guess its time to trade in the 2000 for an 08.

 

Could be VERY expensive options if you ask me.

 

I like the STX Grill, if it would fit my truck I would have one.

 

I don't see any Ranger or grill in that picture. What are y'all talkin about?

 

Apparently if you own a ranger you have to be pulling around jet ski or two. Seems every other ford picture or commercial with a ranger that is the case

 

New fogs as well?

 

Ill be pulling around a jetski this time next year hehe

 

flat butt ewww

 

and new fogs! good eye. (i think they're ugly)

grill looks good

 

hmm grill looks like my 02 grill which I have prefered to any other of the ranger grills since 02

 

yeah i think they look much better, i seen one at the dealership the other day.

 

how would it look if one bought an STX grill and put it on a 06-07? I really like the new front bumper w/ the round fogs...

 

the new plastic bumpers on the rangers is an insult imho

 

i built mine for $25,090!

 

But that's the way vehicles are going now. I find it really annoying as a potential owner of any new vehicle (even as little as that potential is given my happiness with my ranger). I see it more of a $$$$ fix if ever in an accident versus a simple fix of the metal, seperate piece bumpers that could just simple be replaced instead of the whole front clip. Example here would be the new front end design of GMCs.

FWIW, those loving on the "new" round fogs. They aren't new! Look at a bumper from I believe 97-03. 04 is when the valence went over to the square fogs, and personally I prefer them over the rounds.

 

^ Is that all? You can have my 150 for that...

 

That's my problem too...

If I had to pay for a new ranger, equally set up the way this 04 is stock I'd be hard pressed not to go for the 150. This very same "paradox" is with the frontier and tacoma. Equipped the way I'd want either of those trucks I could get a new F-150 for around the same price!

 

It seems like ford is just slapping together a bunch of overstocked ranger parts to make trucks till they're out of parts and ......the death of the ranger.
