When I lived in Ohio there was a local guy who made a business out of mounting Bronco II bodies on 1st gen Bronco frames. They must have been pretty close to the same size. The 1st gen bodies rusted away pretty quickly in this part of the world but the frame, suspension and drivetrain were much...
The current T6 Ranger has been on the market since about the time we lost ours. That means it is due for a redesign in all markets, not just for North America. The question is going to be will Ford make the next Ranger wider than the current T6? The reason to do that would be to better compete...
Comparing an EcoBoost V6 to a naturally aspirated V6 is not exactly an apples to apples comparison. What is the EPA combined estimate for the 2015 test vehicle? Has the testing procedure been changed since the 2014 estimate? What has been the real world experience with the 2014 that you...
One of the reasons Ford stated for not bringing the T6 (current) Ranger here back around 2012 was that it was 90% the size of the F-150 and that was well before the F-150 switched to an aluminum body. However true that may have been I decided to see what I could come up with by doing a simple...
Have there been any recent updates on an aluminum body for the next Bronco and Ranger? My opinion is that Ford might want to keep the weight down as much as possible on the Ranger so there is a significant fuel mileage improvement as compared to the F-150. Why even bother with a Ranger if there...
My daily driver is a 2007 Sport Trac Limited, V8 4x4. It just passed 136,000 miles. I am actually more interested in the Ranger Wild Trak as I believe it would be a closer replacement for my current vehicle, which has proven to be the perfect size for my needs. My hope is that the next...
Just my opinion but there's probably a better chance of the Ranger/Bronco getting the 2.7L EB and I'd be perfectly happy with that. That engine is now being used in the F-150, Edge and Fusion. It is extremely compact and powerful, rated at 325 hp and 375 lb ft in the F-150. That is significantly...
