The end to '10 Disc Questions
Oh that's awesome!
I'm curious, did they do this for better mpgs? Aren't discs much lighter than drums?
I know discs stop much better but why after all these years did they decide to change them?

They changed to discs because of the new law. I believe every new vehicle by a certain year has to have a stability control system which in Ford's case is RSC(Roll & Stability Control). The system uses ABS sensors at all 4 corners which is why they went with a disc. The disc vs drum weight wouldn't affect mileage at all since the change is so little.
wonder why you can't get it now.... that's what i paid. truck is in sig. 5 years 0%,
^^In Cananadian though. 27k for a loaded down Ranger here in the states. Effin sucks. in '08, you can have an almost fully loaded XLT(everything but auto) for about 24 out the door.
To add to the 2010 rear axle conspiracy...
Actually...the fully put a close on these 2010 disc stuff....

Thats why I dont know why everyone is so excited about it! I mean really WHO GIVES A FLYING **** if new Rangers come with disc brakes?
X2. Same truck just with rear discs and RSC junk. BFD.
Why when you can have 12" rotors, cobra calipers, and the Currie bracket for about $400 all new. AND the parking brake is SOOOOOOOO much easier and SOOOOOO grippy with the SN95's. When the Ford Racing explorer kit costs $600?? Mustang/Cobra > Explorer.
Ya, I know, right?

No. You definitely have the 28spline....which means you can do cobra brakes!!! I might have some for sale here soon....
