I am still thinking that it would be an option!!! I am trying to be realistic. Granted I know everyone including me would have loved a 4.6 SOHC in a Ranger but as the rise in gas prices and the fact that - sticking with the Rangers size a V8 isn't necessarily a main factor.

Chris, you also have to consider that like the trucks we have now a 4.6 SOHC or the new Coyote 5.0 wouldn't fit without major changes to the size of the truck and in that since it wouldn't make since - if you needed that big of a vehicle you might as well get a fiddy.

You got it. Also was thinking about making a manual transfer case standard and making the electric an option - you guys have to consider guys like me that can't do the stick due to health.

You guys are great!!!!! You are really churning out some great stuff. I am still waiting on my program and as of right now I am on another program that basically sets up the design process - in ordered fashion so that I don't get ahead of myself and make any big mistakes that would make it hard for me to go back and correct later on.

I hate to keep saying this but size it like a Dakota too. We all have to admit that would be nice.

Thought about that and trying to map out a "how to go about it" route.

Truck will physically wider, as to how wide once I start in on the actual frame design as it take shape, I will start posting images because this program will allow me to make .pdf files, so I will post progress so everyone can have a say or decide the direction.

The reason I am doing this is so we can all have some fun and have a cool experience of working together. I know some of you personally and thought that it would be kind of awesome to have a project we can all be proud of and all have a say in. Again NOTHING is set in stone and just because I have an opinion doesn't mean that is what will be - we will do a majority vote for everything and see where we go - hell you never know we might just be the design team that brings the FORD RANGER out of the ashes and into the world again!!!!!

Sweet Idea, Cant wait to see the outcome(s)

Keep an eye on this - we might just be bringing it back before its over!!

Yeah, that is probably what I will base the size on. I 100% agree that the overall size is an issue not just for the engine but there also things that I have more or less thought - "Damn, if only it was bigger here or there"!!

Thanks.

Sit up a little higher. For sure needs a towing package, sunroof option, keep the power dome hood, or something similar, corners and headlights I feel should all be one piece. A bigger sliding glass window (kind of like a Titan) .
