I can't see much of anything with this package that makes the cost worthwhile, 14hp, and 53 lbs of torque? That's a joke.
Oh, but wait, it does say Roush!!!!!!

You would notice the 53 ft/lbs. The 14 HP not so much.
In the Mustang that motor is worth 310/350. Seems like it would easier to adopt the Mustang tune, if possible.
I'll worry about it next time I'm truck shopping. I need to wear my F150 out first.

Price is definitely high but in the old days, engine mods like cylinder head porting, cams, etc, were all kind of hit and miss and cost a lot of money because you were into the engine.
The Ranger has almost as much torque as the Mustang which means the Ranger is designed to make more power at lower rpm which is more suited for use in, say, a truck.
I'm guessing the Mustang engine would have less pull at 2000 rpm dragging a heavy trailer up a hill. The Ranger also uses features from the Focus RS block which is sturdier than the Mustang block (because that is the most powerful 2.3 EB version), and the Ranger engine has to go through heat and load testing that is much harder than a Mustang engine would be put through. (Does the Mustang have any trailer pull capacity?)
