I've currently got a friend, with a 15-year-old Explorer Sport-Trac, just waiting for the new Ranger to be released...his checkbook's ready. The four-door Ranger, of course, would be the perfect replacement.

Dont laugh. The Ranger and it's 1,000,000 variants will outsell the entire segment, combined, if it is perceived to be anywhere near as good as the F150.

Wonder if they'll use a hopped up version of the 2.3L I4 T, or the 2.7L TTV6 for the Ranger Raptor?

I would imagine they would shove the 3.5TT in there. Why hop up a lower spec engine when there's already an engine producing the power needed.

Because the base engine that is supposed to go in is the Mustang 2.3 with 310hp 320lbft. They would likely use the 2.3 version from the Focus RS with 350hp 350lbft. That or the 2.7 (Nano) V6. Power ranges from 315-335hp and 350-400lbft. 3.5TT seems too big and impedes on the F-150 too much IMO.

yup, gonna agree with you here. I was hoping they would have made this truck a little more "aggressive". The way the hood slants down/forward really kills it for me.

i hope you're correct because this way, i can hope Toyota will be willing to deal more on the Tacoma.

Pricing released.

The mid-size pickup’s build-your-own tool is now live on Ford’s website, revealing that the starting price is $25,395 for a rear-wheel-drive extended-cab XL model.
XL is the lowest of the truck’s three trim levels. The better-equipped XLT starts at $29,035, and the top Lariat starts at $33,305. All Rangers come with a turbocharged 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder matched with a 10-speed automatic transmission (at least, until the inevitable Raptor version arrives). That might seem like a small amount of variety for a pickup, but rest assured that there is plenty more customization offered. There are two cab styles: the SuperCab has a set of small backward-opening rear doors, and the longer SuperCrew has four conventional doors and costs $2175 to $2220 extra. The Ranger is available with either rear- or four-wheel drive, and there are numerous options including appearance packages, off-road equipment, active-safety features, and towing-prep equipment. It’s not difficult to exceed $40,000 once you start loading on the goodies.

Pricing is in-line with the Toyota Tacoma, which in my opinion is its true competitor. Personally, I would still chose a Tacoma Pro if i were to spend $40k range for a truck.
