did ford make a 5speed standard in a 4.0?
thus my delima, I like the single cabs... I noticed most of you with the 4.0 stick are 4x4's, is it in 2wd as well?
Yeah. There are 2wd 4.0 5 speed.
The Holy Grail in the Ranger world is the following : 01-03 2wd Reg cab 4.0L 5spd manual. For me, in XL form.
I have a manual with my 4.0. Only way to go imo.
You can find 3.0L/5spd manual reg cabs......edges come stock like that.

my s/c is a 4.0 i know of a few std cab 2wd's with 4.0/5 spd. thay have like a 3.45 or 3.08 rear end ratio though. i like the balance of the 3.73 ratio. good power and reasonable mileage. thats with stock 235/75-15 tires. bigger tires, need lower gears of course.

2001 was the only year you could get the 4.0 SOHC in a regular cab, finding one of those with a 5 speed will only make it that much harder. If your looking for the 4.0 in an older truck you shouldn't have too much trouble finding one with a regular cab 5 speed. If your looking 2002 and up you won't find one in a regular cab at all.

very hard to find i even tried getting the mazda version... no luck at the time they told me the plant wasn't making standard trucks ( they both come off the same plant or so i was told)for rest of year...limited to what was available on dealer lots





Manual is teh only way I flow with a vehicle, I don't like driving automatics.. not as "into it" as I like to be with an engine =)
