( i think a tonneau cover might be pushing it but ask for that as well )
the 4.2 is a V6 not an inline, youre thinking of the older 300 I6 which was an awesome motor. (4.2 is very good as well) also i havent heard of any issues in that gen 5.4 (2V) with the exception that few had a problem with plugs popping out of the head but that was somewhat rare. both the 5.4 and 4.6 in that gen are very good engines, the 4.6 is a bit underpowered for heavy towing.

my big ass F-150 has a sharper turning radius than my ranger. lol But i still agree, if a ranger is what you want just hold out untill you find one, they are out there, just have to be patient.
