Having owned 2 Rangers, '89, and '97 s/cabs, I would like to see the same setup available that I currently have; 4 Cylinder, 5 sp. manual trans, Super cab 2wd. With the newer 4 cyl's additional power and torque, why is it all of a sudden not acceptable to build this combo? The '89 s/c I had with the old 2.3L was only 100HP, maybe a little slow, but totally acceptable on the highway with a moderate load.
And while they are at it, make limitied slip available with the 4 cyl. 2wd model.
This is the last of the truly compact trucks, and the opportunity to make an economical truck will be lost if they "up-size" it like Toyota and Nissan. Make a new version, but keep what made it a best seller all those years, economy and reliability.
