[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3498380, member: 26737"] The Ranger is in its second (maybe 3rd? Time flies) year of resumed production. It came back largely because GM's offerings showed that the mid-sized truck market didn't collapse like they'd expected and was big enough to justify the cost of adapting the Ranger to the US market. (It's more complicated than that, but that's the gist of it.) Currently the only engine in the Ranger is an I4 Ecoboost because the global T6 platform was only designed to support inline engines. Thanks to the Bronco program (which is the first next-gen T6), the Ranger's frame can support V6 engines, but getting Ranger back in production for North America was a crash program, and they didn't have the time to redesign the rest of the engine compartment to support V6es. That's supposed to be coming in a future update to Ranger. [/QUOTE]
