There is a fully blacked out/slightly lifted Ranger near me that looks f'ing awesome. 100% exactly how mine would look and just add a tune to help it scoot around.

Would it be too hard to just give the people what they want?


Seriously, wtf happened?
The L was a nice street beast. Used for its purpose everytime an owner got in the drivers seat.
The Raptor costs way too much money for most anyone to have the balls to really use it for what it was intended. (I don't blame the either)
Bring back the L

The HP wars are alive and well, let's go Ford. We are all waiting, and we've been more than patient.

IIRC Ford never expected the success the Raptor had from 10-14.

Think when they saw the popularity of the Raptor they shelved any serious idea for another Lightning and took an untapped market and seized it to themselves for over a decade.

The Tremor was a half-ass effort. The Limited gets the H.O. 450hp engine but it's also expensive af with tons of bloat muscle head guys could live without.

I would think a 5.2 supercharged Regular cab wouldn't be too bad on emissions/EPA all things considered but the price point nowadays would also scare off potential buyers especially with the limited seating.

CF flares, really? And a useless spare,borderline hack.
What's worse....

They are truck carbon fiber and crack & explode the first time you go off road... Or they are plastic painted to look CF?

That is a tough one. I will go with painted is worse. Rationale: They want the carbon fiber that will crack and explode but are too cheap to use the real thing.

F150 short bed, standard cab with a Predator?

Yes please.
You know, a VERY stripper F250 reg cab 8ft box 4x4 with the 7.3 is only 40,900. Rip out the exhaust, Twin Big turbos will easily fit under the hood. Run her on corn and slicks on all 4 wheels.

Thats a Rape Train you'd never see coming.
