time to go from 0-60?
 

Hey, my ranger seems a little slow on the take off. i want sure how fast it would take a v6 3L ranger would go from 0-60. were could i find out what it should be, or do you know.

Well, I'm also in Florida ... so climatology shouldn't be a factor, but I do have a 4.0L V6 instead of the 3.0L.

Right now, my Ranger is going 0 mph, out in the parking lot. I'll be getting off work at around 6:00, and I can take it up to 60 on the way home, so figure a ballpark estimate of "under 2 hours and 10 minutes"


;)

Takes my 3.0 15 or so seconds to 0-60 with normal 2500RPM acceleration on a flat terrain. If Im going downhill and red line it, I might be able to make 6 seconds, lol.

Re: time to go from 0-60?
 

I think mine is 8.9 seconds on flat ground with OD off. they call it a 3.slo for a good reason.

so your ranger is a manuel?

im not bs.in any one my 2.3 duratec 5 speed did 8 sec not joke the 3L is a very weak motor if it was a 24 valve then there would be power but the extra toque is't worth the crapy gas milage to me but thats my opnion.:stupido2:

Re: time to go from 0-60?
 

my 2.5 5 speed probably takes 12 seconds. If I want speed, Ill hop in the car which does it in just over 6 seconds.

yeah that about how fast my mom's 2.3 Fusion goes.

lol

Speed shifting at Redline, and that is right on the redline, about 12 to 15 seconds, NO LOW END TORQUE EVEN WITH 4:10 GEARS!!

Re: time to go from 0-60?
 

I believe the "official" number for a 3.0 5-spd is 8 seconds.

Re: time to go from 0-60?
 

yeah the 3.0 makes ok low end toque but with a auto it BLOWS my 2.3 would smoke a 3l auto and maybe a 3l exended cab with 4x4 with a 5 speed. my truck is probaly 600 lbs lighter

Re: time to go from 0-60?
 

I got a little single cab with a short bed, if i had a manual I'd be well in the low 8 second mark for sure. It seems to be making the most power in the mid rpm range..
