I have some delicious sweet potato pie in the kitchen and you just ruined my apetite!

Oooh, what they really need are some clear taillights, big wing, fart muffler, and an unpainted carbon fiber hood. And call it the 'Rice Ranger'.

It's "Type R" - the "Type" is important, because it adds another 5-7HP

So what's next? Racing stripes? A triple-decker whaletail spoiler?

A five-kilo bag of rice with every purchase?

- M4H

They should jack up the horsepower, slap on a turbocharger and call it the "Power Ranger".

When I saw the thread title I thought that was something you made up. That's kind of harsh coming from an auto mag. I wonder if the current Ranger is any fun to drive at all with the manual transmission...my boss has an older model (not sure how old, guessing mid 90s) and the stick in that thing is so loose and the clutch is so heavy that driving it is a pain. Not to mention that someone 6' tall or above can't get a comfortable driving position anyhow.

Yes, but what would it morph in to? A Model T?

I see they freshened up the front end a bit. Well, it still looks like a girly truck. Not that the S-10 looks much more manly, but I've always thought the Ranger was ugly.

OMG!!!!!! That would be so funny.

that thing hasn't had a full overhaul in a while... is the F going to get redesigned twice before the ranger gets its next?
