i wasplaying on the web and found this

 

is'nt that the Brazialian Ranger? I think someone on here has one that looks like that.

 

daggumit im tired of ppl taking pics of my truck











notice where the driver is

 

i think thats the UK version

 

yeah i foend it on an ausi ford dealership site

 

is that a little Ford blue oval on the edge of the front bumper near the tire???

 

front pic

 

man how badass is that! We need an update too!

157HP 280TQ 3.0 Turbo Diesel!

 

sucks how a lot of cool cars/trucks are available everywhere but the U.S.

 

the best part is that they are putting 3.0 turbo deisels in them

 

That's not a Ford oval, it's a "European" sidemarker light.

 

check the site out for yourself

no that is a ford oval on the top corner of the bumper

 

i'm not talkin about the marker under the Ranger emblem. there's what looks to be a small blue ford oval on the corner of the bumper

 

me like! looks alot like something Nissan would build, not a bad thing -Mike-

 

i see those in TJ all the time

 

With almost 300tq it would be a monster off the line, if you put a programmer on it you might get another 50-75hp/tq being how diesels seem to work!

 

this is why ford is hanging the self

why not update the ranger like that in the us market?

and start to match there competition in the smaller truck market
they have the plans get it done

 

all i know is these went on the US market, i woould def get one

 

Damn I'd buy two. That'd solve my issue of wanting more power and more people-carrying without buying a huge truck for sure.

 

Did someone say diesel? Hell of an idea.

I don't know about having more passenger space - I think the quad cab looks a little silly in that picture. The fender flares and moulded bumpers make it look too plasticky to be honest. Too much like an Avalanche.

But putting a 3L diesel in a Ranger is a good idea. Can only hope it crosses the pond and gets adopted Ford in North America.

Cheers,

will not pass US emissions, so no diesel in a ranger (nor is there a big market for a small diesel P/U in this country). And they will not do the 4 door or it would compete with the Sportrac.

 

From what my friend told me (he works at Ford), the word is that the new US Ranger will be based on the South American Ranger. He said they actually have a bunch of the South American ones in Dearborn at the test track right now.

 

I'll rock one.

 

why not take the explore sport trac put the 4.5 powerstoke in it and beef up the suspension and sell it in the dakota midsize class.
