So went online just for the hell of it and it seems you can't get a L/S now. Also MSRP for a new Ranger with everything is $27K. No thanks.

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.

So, this would be why the brake fluid reservoir is like twice the size they were?

^^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....

                        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.

                        pretty sure you have a 28 spline, since you dont have an FX4

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