Edge ST and return of the Ranger

Some more news from ford, well old news if you've been following the Auto Shows.

Edge ST coming this year, and a re-vamp of the Ranger, with rumours of a baby Ranger Raptor along the way.

Interesting times....the new Ranger resembles the Edge in the front end, I actually don't mind the styling, and its proposed to be a midsize pickup, along the lines of GM's Canyonaro.

I watched a video on the Edge ST, pretty slick looking vehicle with 335hp. I've always like the Edge Sport package models.

I know lots of people are stoked for the new Ranger but could they have maybe photographed it in a better colour?

I’m not sure what to think about the Edge ST. I was really excited for the Fusion Sport with the 2.7 ecoboost and I was a little disappointed when I drove one. My suspicion is that the Edge will give the same result but hopefully I’m wrong. The strange thing is that the 2.7 in the F150 performs great.

The Ranger I’m very excited about. I really hated when we lost them and the fact that we will have a crew cab is going to be fantastic as it fills the spot we had with the Sport Trac.

Interesting that it's been upsized from a small pickup to the midsize, maybe those who don't feel they need a full size will jump at it.

All decked out with the FX4 package might not be so bad, wonder what the pricing will be?

I wanted a Fusion Sport when they announced it, other things got in the way but maybe I'm glad I didn't. The styling of the 2015+ Edge does nothing for me but the ST looks a whole lot better to me.

You're right on the 2.7 in the F150, my dad has a 2016 and it's a rocket and gets phenomenal fuel economy for a truck.

I just can't get behind the smaller truck thing, a 1/2 ton is as small and practical as I can get.

A friend has the Fusion Sport, loves the car. That thing is seriously quick for a heavy mid-size sedan.

After they work the kinks out of the Ranger if I can convince wife I plan to trade the tacoma for an ecoboost ranger. Love the taco but mileage is a little worse than the stang so.... Maybe do a trade for a new mustang as well.

That sounds like a great plan

GT500 timing should be just about right for your trade.

I'm leaning towards base eco-boost lol.
