A 4.0L regular cab Ranger would be more like a HOSS! I would love to have a 4.0L/5spd Edge. That'd be a slick truck. *wipes the drool from my mouth* I know a guy who had the a 4x4 X-cab 4.0/5spd combo and he said it would leave all the Z71s that wanted a piece. (not saying a whole bunch for those V8s)

i've heard those v8's are torque monsters though. i don't think ford did really well with the lightning as far as sales but maybe a ranger with a blown 4.0 would. how 'bout that? heres a napkin nate! lol.

At one time Ford did make a reg cab 5spd 4.0 we drove it at the dealer ship as a parts runner. You could light'em any time you wanted to.

What ab the "thunderbolt" or "lightningbolt" or whatever the heck it was? Were those just high output V6s, blown V6s, or V8s? I've seen like 4 in my entire life. They're kinda tacky if you ask me, but maybe that's what we're all looking for...

The ranger IS currently available in 4.0 4x4 regular cab with a five speed manual or automatic.....but not 4.0 4x2 regular cab....so if you want one, buy it. I only know this because I "built one" on the ford web site.
