99 Fi50 said,The 2006 to current Sport Trac is not on Ranger chassis any more and has V8 option. Might be just what you are looking for.
I think the Sport Trac are suitable, what about the Adrenaline eh?

 

I've got an old F100.

 

Now that is sweet.

 

Shortride that is a beauty & my favorite color too

 

Thanks guys. My dad bought this truck new. I took my drivers test in it. I inherited it in '96 and restored it to the current condition.

Yeah man, she's perty!

 

yup keep it in the family, your Dad is proud of you I'm sure, well done

 

I had to get a reg cab so I could put in my garage.There probably is as much room behind the seats as a ranger super cab.

 

Shortride, that is a nice looking truck!

 

This what it looked like before I started on it.

 

Ed, if you are considering a new Sport Trac, you probably will want to get one pretty soon. My mom just bought one to go right alongside her Edge and they had a heck of a time locating one in the color she wanted because Ford is not making them anymore. She was lucky they found a new one in the color she wanted somewhere in Texas.

 

There was a recent article on one of the boards saying that it won't be replaced in North America and that Ford figures anyone who wants a truck can go buy a 150.

Too bad though because a 2010 Ranger Sport, 2WD, 4 litre Supercab could be had for around $13K Cdn. back in September - good cheap transportation.

 

The Sport Trac has been killed due to it being based off of the Ford Explorer. When the new Ford Explorer came out they killed the Sport Trac & there will be no F100 it has been killed due to the price being so close to the F150. So the F150 will be the only entry level truck when the Ford Ranger dies out in bout 2011-2012 model year. Also look under Thread 2011 F100 under Newer light duty trucks on the main FTE page.

 

I was reading an article some time ago where GM was contemplating the Colorado / Canyon twins for the same reasons that Ford is killing the Ranger. Initial cost and MPG's are way too close to a half ton strippy while it's capabilities fall a little short.

This will either rev up F-150 sales or it will hurt Ford in the long run.

 

Man, thanks for posting up those pics. I am at home sick as a dog and that little story about having that truck in your family all these years surely put a smile on my face. That truck is gorgeous. What motor is in that? 360 or a 390?
