Is there a new V6 model?

Kind of like the 6.4ltr hemi badge on this 2 door jeep truck.?

There are companies making Hemi conversion Jeeps out there. For $50K plus the cost of the jeep you can get a hell cat wrangler.

Yeppers. That one is mine and it does have a 6.4 hemi crate engine and appropriate running gear. It's also a two door truck. Kind of like a Gladiator only better. ?

I have a pic of a 2 door JK build that has a truck bed an it's what I wanted but Jeep wouldn't ever build it.

IMHO... I highly doubt it. Considering most manufacturers ( including ford ) are making PR statements about how soon they will be " all electric ". Probably not to busy scheming up new combustion engine designs...especially ones with more moving parts and potentially higher emissions to midigate.

I wouldn't be so sure.


New Baby Zilla?

It does sound very nice ?.

I guess they went Big Block screaming V8 and skipped the V6 altogether. Team Blue isn't messing around.

Yeah...I don’t know what the heck they’re talking about.

If you ever watched Adult Swim (anime/cartoon show) or were a fan of the earlier Japanese anime classics, Dragon Ball Z was just that - a continuing dragons and dungeons kind of magic anime with good vs evil in a saga...blah blah. The phrase, "It's Over 9,000" was a classic line when the hero drew so much magic energy that his power level went sky high...completely shocking the arch villain's who got there rear ends kicked..lol

That's all it is and many (but not all) understand that reference...especially in conjunction with something stoopid

I haven't bought a new Ranger yet, I'm just sitting back watching the feedback folks give on new ones.
I'd like to see a naturally aspirated V6 option . I've had good luck with my '94 4.0 . I know the new ones will run circles around it , but I'm looking down the road ,after 100k + ,less upkeep ,maintainance , etc. . ?? Do you think Ford will ever offer that ?

Thank you! I’m definitely behind on my cartoons

You must be thinking about all the blather on jeeps...etc.

I'm going to put a 5.0 Hemi coyote in mine.

Show me a V7 Ranger and I'll be impressed. Not til then.

I thought the same thing. The V6 badge looks exactly like the Tacoma badge. I guess someone did a swap or, more likely, they're embarrassed by people knowing they have an awesome turbo 4cyl. So silly.

As everyone here knows, the Ranger's 2.3 Ecoboost will run circles around the Taco's 4.0 V6.
Kinda like running a 1/4 mile, the Ranger will be on the return road while the Taco is still on the track.

I test drove a 2019 Taco equipped with that engine, power delivery was smooth, but anemic...I honestly thought it was a 4 cylinder, or I had left the parking brake engaged.

When the test was complete I rose the hood to verify it indeed was a 6 and told the salesperson that Toyota has somehow engineered a V6 that feels like a 4, she was not amused...

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

Did they release a v6 model and not notify anyone? Saw this driving down the freeway yesterday... Still had dealer plates on it.

Autozone special.

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.
