They’ll post some Tesla rage-bait snarkpost shortly, don’t worry.

You suck at driving then. It’s called driving within the limit of your vehicle. I’ve done Ranger prerunner builds, Tacomas, and a few half tons. Added power, suspension, tires, lifts, axle swaps, fab. Put discs on the rear, bump stops, limit straps.  Ranger isn’t radically different than any of the other small sized…

They make as much torque as a V6 Tacoma which everyone considers to be a torqueless wonder lol

It’s almost like you’re an idiot. They make a 4.0 Ranger with 210ish HP. This has like 235.

Problem is that they make no power and drink gas. The cost of running far exceeds the savings from their bulletproof nature.

Yeah, the Rangers are basically the same for decades. Ford tossed all their leftover global engines into it depending on the decade. Pinto engines, Vulcan V6's, Mazda engines, whatever could fit.

Those motors don’t have 300hp, maybe mid-low-200's with those mods.

Lol, you obviously haven’t owned a vehicle with that motor. It’s not that powerful and those Rangers aren’t that light.

I agree that the shaved mirrors and windshield wipers are dumb but that motor makes like 220HP.

Exactly - can’t drive it due to emissions. I see this ALL THE TIME in California when surfing through the classifieds. Someone does a swap and then realizes it won’t pass when their smog notification comes up. I see it a lot with Civics - K20 Swap and a buttload of performance parts...scroll around the back of the car…

Were you the commentator who was gonna sell everything and live out of some ratchet craigslist travel trailer to escape reality? Now you’re going to buy super expensive electric motorcycle?

Or just tell them to drive themselves.

This is a good answer.

As yes, those rip off artists Tesla. Somehow made a car that could do things in 2012 (now eight years ago) that the largest automaker in the world can’t get right today with the help of a trillion dollar multi-national software company.

Dude, “business case”? That’s the lamest corporate-speak I’ve ever heard. The justification is “you can ride them around”

That’s how how vehicle development, manufacturing or certification works.

Sounds like a good way to sell like 10 or 20 vans to a few “outdoor influencers” at the cost of millions in development.

Maybe priced that way by their elderly owners who “know what they have” but nobody is paying that much money for some old used Ford with goofy cowboy themed leather.

I don’t think it’s designed for use in roads, even neighborhoods. I imagine it’s for scooting around pedestrian city centers and big industrial manufacturing facilities and warehouses. Basically anyplace big and flat but where a regular car is too big and noisy.

Gotta replace a bunch of random letters with ‘x’ for extra wxkeness
