V8-Powered Ford RANGER to take on Dakar

Plus they did not get any better mileage than the Ford F-150 with Eco Boost.

Pretty cool!

I'd love to see Ford come out with a "Dakar Edition" Ranger that could play little brother to the Raptor.

In my travels to Mexico, Australia and South Africa have seen the Rangers and really like the new look. Majority are four door short bed trucks. But then again those countries don't have much for full size trucks like an F150 and few and far between anything like a Super Duty.

Can we really say we (USA) have full-size trucks when the majority of PUs now-a-days are sporting shortbeds to include the SDs, & HDs? I haven't had a real full size PU truck since the early 80's It probably safe to say that those that need a full size truck are toting trailers to carry stuff to & from work sites. (Damn, WTH am I doing derailing my on thread?) :drunk:

Considering that even a short-bed SCREW is longer/wider than anything on the road besides a 3/4-ton and up. Anything larger is a heavy-duty truck.

It's interesting how they modified the cab and the look of the fake bed and wrapped the rear of the cab - one can imagine how the Raptor'd look done like this

Wow! I like it besides the way the cab and bed look out of proportion... But hey functionality over aesthetics !

Hmmm. IRS, interesting, but not that unusual for recent Dakar vehicles.
