Do you think they wil bump the output at all. I noticed that in the new Freestar minivan that it's 4.2 gets about 10 more ft-lbs of torque than the current one in the Herritage F-150's. Now if only they offered the 4.2 in a Ranger.

I don't think they will. I believe it will be the same hp/tq settings. The trucks powertrain (other than hp/tq) will be more stable I think. It will be an all around 'tougher' truck, but not any faster than normal. I believe the 5 speed will still pull 16's stock though.
