Default My new 09 Ranger Sport

I needed a truck that got good gas mileage and this little guy popped up. Its a 4 cylinder and had a manual Trans so i'm hoping at least 24mpgs. The Lader tracks are needed for my work. I'm not crazy how they look so I might change it later.

Very good looking truck! I didn't know that fender flares came on coil sprung trucks.

Looks like it has torsion bars I see a bar behind the driver side wheel. maybe not I don't see any on the passenger side? I guess only the 2wd edge rangers had torsion bar suspension.

Very nice truck but i don't see the bar on either side. Possibly just the body options.

I'll go take a look and see. I know it drives great and is actually really fun to drive. I used to have a nissan titan. I loved that trick but it was getting 13.5mpg.

I'm pretty sure Ford didn't offer the 4-banger with the Sport package, or else we'd see more of them. This truck either has an identity crisis, or the owner mistyped or was misinformed.

As for the T-bars, you can never see mine from the side either, but I know they're there. I cranked them.

Well I think I'm just gonna drive it and enjoy it. I got 27mpg on my first tank so I am more than happy. It was 90% highway.

Stickers and Fender Flares are easily added on.

We really want to see pictures. We're not doubting you, you just have a pretty uncommon truck that most of us have never seen before.
