    There are articles where pics of the Ranger look similar to 3rd gen before third gen was released. Looks similar but not the same.

    So I guess they're really going to make a ranger raptor.....? Wonder if it'll have the twin turbo 3.5?

    Interesting. I think they are just following the leader. You can see where Chevy did it as well.

    I hope they dont do this. By the time it comes out and the first year bugs are done, my lease would be up and oh the decisions.
