Well, it's a 2.3L DI turbo engine, making 270hp and 310ft/lbs of torque. It has a load of aftermarket support already, and more coming. With a tune and some tweaks to the exhaust and intake, these things can easily hit 400hp on the factory turbo and fuel system. I wouldn't exactly call that zero performance or ability to modify. It's essentially the same engine that comes in the ST, and those guys are making some stupid numbers.VintageIronFab wrote:Hopefully the aftermarket can make a squared off flare you rivet on to fix the JC Whitney rounded opening look. It’s very obvious the design team was on the low rung because sorry this is a shitty nod to the early bronco look- in fact it’s a poor version of a shittier truck. Sorry a 4cyl with zero performance or the ability to modify to become a performer is well a lame $50k attempt! Rather own a Gladiator!
I happen to think it harkens very nicely to the original small broncos, and i love that it could be offered in an XL trim with basic interior and steel wheels with a rear locker. If i can get it equipped like my brother's XL Ranger for the same price point, or similar, i'll buy one.
Have you driven one of the new Rangers? They're fantastic little trucks.
