Very true that the old TTB setup whether leaf or coil/radius arm would be much easier to build alongside a solid axle setup.
But the troller uses a solid front axle and the ranger uses IFS, both on the T6 frame.
Honestly, I have zero hope that Ford will cater to the enthusiasts and build a...
Ford built IFS F250s and solid axle F-350s in the late nineties. Were these at different plants? Also I believe the F-350 had IFS on 2wd and solid on 4x4.
Agreed. Even the 2.3 should smoke all the Jeep engines.
IFS makes it just another sheep in the herd. I’d rather start with a nineties explorer. Easy SAS and V8 conversion.
I’m betting they’re hiding a Watts link out of the ranger raptor.
Dana 44s are pretty weak as far as rear axles go. I would think they’d just use a Ford 8.8.
