Time for new ranger?

We have basically had the same ranger for 20 years now with mostly minor updates. It may just be me but I think its about time for a couple new engines, a couple new trans, and a new body design. I think an ecoboosted SVT Ranger would be beyond badass. Maybe make it a mini Raptor, or even a lowered street truck. I dont know but the same old 4.0 seems way out dated. What do yall think?

I think you have been out of the loop for way too long. First anounced in Jan 2008 that the Ranger was going to be allowed to die. Not even sure if any are coming of the line today. St. Paul Plant sold I believe.

If you really want to get a new Ranger, you better get one pretty dam soon. This is supposed to be the last year.

For what it's worth, I think they should leave well enough alone. The Ranger does what it does very well.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

It's really a mute point as it's fate has been sealed.
