makes sense though since they got rid of the 3.0, wonder if its coil sprung or torsion bars.

 

really, only 19/24 on the MPG? wow. other than its nice.

 

it gets more than that, my 2.3 gets 28mpg city but then again its stick it was rated like 25/29

 

yeah, true. all depends on driving habits etc etc......did you see the "Estimated Price per Gallon"....LOL....hope we never see that again!

 

20 K for a 2wd reg cab 4 cyl? (sticker) thats awful. i'll just keep my paid for 4.0 4x4 on the road 'till the body rots off the frame. not a big fan of the power rack sterring and ford going away from the twin-I beam/twin traction beam front suspention anyhow. my '88 got around 20 mpg on average. highest ever was 28. not much tourque though when you got in hilly areas.

 

Is that an Ipod jack where the airbag swtich is? If that truck was a stick and cheaper, I would buy it.

 

Definitely looks like a coil spring truck from the 225s and ride height...

 

Yes My 07 has that its standard now, and the airbag switch is like built into the passenger seat now, and theres a light that comes on on the bezel that lets you know where its off.

Im consdering on getting an 09 sport if its coil sprung and i can get a 2.3 with stick behind it.

 

LOOK AT THE CROSSMEMBER!! LOOK AT THE CROSSMEMBER!! That DOES appear to be a coilsprung 2wd crossmember i see...


GUYS!! I think in the spring i'll get myself a black reg cab 2wd 2.3L 5spd sport!!! or bright red.

 

I think I'll just get the grill and valence. Whats the point of a Sport, when it's just a XLT with flares?

 

i cant belive 20 k for that wow though i would like the new interior door assembly

 

nice..

 

no one actually pays sticker, hell i pay dealer cost gotta love x plan

 

you be amazed how many people do lol

even with the x-plan your looking at 14 to 15k when you can run a f-150 for a few bones more. just too much for a small 4cyl,single cab truck in my opinion

 

sticker on my truck was 18, I paid 12,900 out the door after taxes and title.

 

i belive mine was 20 sticker and i payed 12.5,give or take a 100 bucks or so,out the door

to me the rangers are over priced now for some thing that has not realy changed much in 7 to 8 years

 

that truck sucks.

and i would happily drive a new xcab 2.3l stick if i could afford one

 

yay me :)

 

yay you for what? lol

 

That truck is about 17,500.00 out of my price range

 

Yay him 'cause he got one 'dem new fangled modern Rangers

 

I can confirm that the 2.3L Sport is coil spring - I just looked at one at the dealer. No lift blocks at the rear either like the original Edge/Sport had. I couldn't find a V6 version to look at.

The tiny P225/70Rx15 tires on the 4x2 regular cab Sport look kind of odd next to the large fender flares. S/C's and 4x4's have larger tires.

 

Well I know ill definalty never buy an 09 sport then unless they make a v6 version with torsion bars. For the 08 model, you could build a regular cab, 4.0 4x4 sport.

 

I would take the torsion bars just to get a 4.0 reg cab.

But as I said, 20K for an XLT 4-cyl with fender flares? Buy the XLT for 6k less and spend a couple hundred for flares.

 

i have a 5-speed 2.3L and im lovin in!
