The truck market runs in cycles just like any other vehicle market segment. If the fuel prices keep ratcheting up like they are, interest in a small truck will come back. I'm a skeptic concerning the 3.7L in the F-150 producing the mileage numbers they are advertising but I've been wrong before.

Edit: Correction, I meant the 3.5L Ecoboost.

Yep, I'm forced to agree. The SUV market is about to hit rock bottom yet again, because the fuel mileage is terrible and people can't afford to keep putting fuel in their SUV's. Especially in this economy.

As a matter of fact you're right, my uncle recently did a build using the ranger chassis, v8 conversion but with an f100 body...looks badass and drives more like a modern truck. Now keep in mind he owns his own custom auto garage and took considerable modification to do. But it can be yours for only the cost of a new(ish) ranger, a crate engine, salvaged f100 body and the cash (or time / knowledge / space) for all the labor & parts....Lol

I will admit, I want one something fierce...it'd be cool to drive what looks like an old f100 but not have to pay the markup on " classic " parts....although I guess that might be offset by potential labor cost for non-standard locations on certain things.

Yep, I have a friend that done that with a LWB Ranger, his is a 1955. He used a 351 H.O. with a C6 tranny. He didn't like the sharktooth grill on 55 so he switched it to the 56 instead.

They are known for there bad ass tough tonka trucks not for their grocery getters. Now a days everyone wants to go bigger not too many folk are buying small trucks anymore. And im not saying this cuz im a cummins fan im just saying what I think. Sorry for all yall ranger fans.

Look at your post. Back to mine. Back to yours NOW BACK TO MINE.Sadly,it isn't mine. But if you stopped trolling and started posting legitimate crap it could LOOK like mine. Look down,back up, where are you?You're scrolling through the posts, finding the ones that your post could look like.Back at mine,what is it?It's a highly effective and happy Ranger owner. Look again,MY POST IS NOW DIAMONDS.Anything is possible when you think before you post.I'm on a computer

And besides, do you even own a Ranger, have you ever driven a ranger, I had an old ram, and I loved that truck, but I love my little ranger even more, the ranger was one of the best trucks ford built in my opinion. If your gonna be biased just because youve never driven one gtfo a ranger forum

This guy...has it!

The Ranger is a great truck. Ford doesn't see it. Toyota is making a killing with a CREW CAB and still able to get the manual in their trucks. Now if Ford would get the hint! Put the new v6 in from the Stang or even better the 5.0, or my personal favorite give me a MUTHER FRUCKIN DIESEL!!!! Must come with manual option!

Ford dealers will push you towards F150's because the business and salesman want to make more money on commission. I make dealers mad all the time browsing, they keep trying to convince me to buy, and that I need a fullsize, yes I miss the room inside the cab, but why the hell do I need the mileage of that? Or the crappy turning radius compared to the Ranger? No thanks, I don't need a large truck. I have nothing to prove, and you'll find me in the hills, wheeling with the big trucks, running around them.

Question: Why are you here then? Why aren't you on a Cummin's forum? I have a Sonoma, you could go try out one of those? Why are you here bashing the truck that works great for us, hence we spend our time here.

And you know what it fell apart even know I took care of it.

I never got butt hurt, just curious as to why you are here, and I continually seem to see put downs from you on the Ranger. Let's all calm down meow...syrup?

Not to make it sound funny, but we have every right to get butt hurt, these are the trucks we love, so why are you coming on here and telling us otherwise?
