As noted above it appears to be a graphics package, but the real question is how much are they willing to pay Phil to tune the suspension?

Me too-until I have to fill the bed with bags of whatever. Then the bed height sucks rocks.Trucks shouldn't be lowered. Makes me want to puke!
That would be handy.I don't even want whole other versions of the Ranger, just some of the standard equipment we should be getting, like this:

Not standard equipment, add it to a tech package so the people who want it pay for it.I don't even want whole other versions of the Ranger, just some of the standard equipment we should be getting, like this:

well yeah that too....but at least make it available in our market!Not standard equipment, add it to a tech package so the people who want it pay for it.
Don't forget the "Lighting" It looked great and it was a 2WD truck made for street performance for those who could actually drive on pavement and maybe turn an occasional corner.Trucks shouldn't be lowered. Makes me want to puke!
+1. Those syclones were SWEET !... I love my ranger but ford would need to cram a cranked up 3.5 ecoboost or a coyote in the ranger to keep up with the syclone or typhoon.Looks like a lifter sport truck. Bring the suspension down.
Sits up too high for an on road sport truck IMHO. Should be lower and sportier. GM got it right back in the day.
It would be an expensive add-on for the base model, but for any model that already has power for the mirror, rain sensor, and/or camera up there it's a few more cents worth of parts. And the cost of retooling, which is enough that they won't do it until they have to.Not standard equipment, add it to a tech package so the people who want it pay for it.
Im pretty sure the 2.3 would destroy the 2.0 Bi Turbos. These things feel so dang slow. As far as the truck itself.I am curious...the diesel has a nice advangate in the torque dept but we have the HP advantage with the EB 2.3...I wonder in a straight up drag race between the two....what are the 0-60's and 1/4 times for the 2.0 turbodiesel? our "published" info appears to be a 7 sec 0-60 and a 14.7 sec quarter mile.
That lower front just way to tacky for me, its giving an ASIAN vibe like Mits and Toyota.

I saw some video of a guy doing a review on a boutique mod shop's Lightning version of a modern F150. It was entertaining but not appealing enough to crank out a production volume.Don't forget the "Lighting" It looked great and it was a 2WD truck made for street performance for those who could actually drive on pavement and maybe turn an occasional corner.
A Ranger "Thunder" would be nice.
I once had a '92 4.0L 5Spd Ranger which was a sports car with a big trunk and the ability to tow, haul, and handle on pavement.
Because Ford USA still has not figured out that Ranger buyers are not F150 buyers.https://www.carscoops.com/2021/01/f...-street-focused-sibling-of-the-ranger-raptor/
Why do they keep making nicer Rangers unavailable to North America?
Nice trucks , but not as good as the hype, Most of their miles were behind a tow truck.+1. Those syclones were SWEET !... I love my ranger but ford would need to cram a cranked up 3.5 ecoboost or a coyote in the ranger to keep up with the syclone or typhoon.
My point was more styling centric compared to the jacked up foreign G5 Ranger with ground effects plus we are talking 30+ years ago on the Typhoon. If something like this were produced now it would be a whole different ballgame. Sports cars are going 0-60 now in the mid 2 second range with exceptional reliability. Technology could be used in a killer sport street truck.Nice trucks , but not as good as the hype, Most of their miles were behind a tow truck.
