    Hate the look. Looks like a bubble.

    I just noticed the Driver is on the wrong side of that Blue truck, maybe they are going to take an American version overseas.

    I made a coment in a thread praising Ford's upcoming ranger months ago (at the same time talking down on the Tacoma 3rd gen), and I get a like on that comment at least 2 or 3 times a week it seems.

    Now that the Ranger is here, the vehicle is a little underwhelming for me.

    Some key highlights.

    2.3L I4 EcoBoost. 310hp/350lbs of torque.
    10 speed auto transmission (2.3 Ecoboost and 10 speed are the only available options)
    open front differential.


    Still has the weird Hilux-fighter body shape from foreign markets. I don't like the looks of the Foreign Ranger or the Hilux.


    With the powertrain, I am expecting best-in-class MPG and Horse power though.

    However, it's definitely looks like the most Mall crawler focused of the soon-to-be Top three Mid-size trucks (Colorado/Tacoma/Ranger)

    I don't think it looks bad at all, but no Manual Option sucks.

    I actually like it quite a bit and prefer the rounded appearance of the global market trucks. I'm glad they didn't change it much and definitely going to look into the new Ranger when it comes out. All I can say is that an aftermarket front bumper wont require any cutting at all.

    Rangers have been great trucks. New one doesn’t look that much like Euro version to me

    Strange they are only offering it in 4-cyl.

    Looks pretty sharp though, I like it

    After seeing that sneek peek, I am happy with my choice. If they make a Raptor Ranger and stick it with a 4cyl engine... Who is going to spend 50k on a 4cly???

    But will it leak oil like my '89 Ranger did? It's like it was allergic to the stuff.
