Is there a new V6 model?

[t4thfavor]

Speaking of odd cylinder engines, I remember reading a story about a 5 cylinder Ford engine prototype from the '30's.

Seems as though 'ol Henry absolutely abhorred 6 bangers, so he directed his powerplant engineers to design and build a 5 cylinder inline.

While testing this engine on a stand, one engineer said that the engine shook and vibrated so badly that you did not want to be anywhere near it when it was running...lol

Tons of VW cars come with a 5 cyl. Even some fords recently had a Mazda 5cyl (European focus st pre 2013)

I get ignorant comments at work from “V8 only” guys when they find out the Ranger has a 4cyl. Funny though… all mouth but only one guy sacked up and ran me in his hemi Ram and got walked. After that it got a little quieter. Lol

Stock, it’s a beast of a motor. I wish I didn’t need mine for work, I would build it like I did my focus st.

It’s very impressive even stock. Tuned, it’s a blast. Makes me miss my focus RS when it wasn’t popping head gaskets. Lol.

It is a stout 4 banger. I have a very aggressive 93 octane only tune with a high flow catted DP. I can hang with base 5.0s off the line and until shift from 2 to 3 then the weight and gearing catch up and they are gone. I have yet to have a truck take me. LOL. Mine is 4x4 also so a little more weight.

I had a 2007 Rabbit with a 2.5L 5 banger. Power was fine, but the motor mounts were purposely looser to hide some of the vibrations. If you really got into it and didn't time the shift between 1st and second right, the whole drivetrain would swing back with a noticeable "thunk" when you shifted. There's an entire aftermarket world for stiffer motor mounts for those cars. I imagine they'd rattle your brains out.

Acutely aware of that Sir, however this engine prototype dates back to the Thirties as I stated.

I don't think the engineers then were afforded with design/manufacturing methods available 40 or so years later...

Mine is lifted on 33’s with a 93 tune. Haven’t been beat by a truck yet. Lol.

For a minute I thought I jumped over to the joke thread. ?

So maybe just keep it to truck talk, and leave the politics to another forum. ?

So why don’t you take your own advice?????
You keep bringing it up.

This forum is fun when we talk trucks. I'm all for it, and that was my point all along. ???

I have that camper, too...
...but, alas, no Ranger (toy or real)!

Dodge and Jeep disagree.

And there it is. Can get it from the factory for now. But not in the future. Let’s go Brandon.
