OK...it does makes 5 more HP but 30lbs torque less. I will say, that I've read the Ford 2.7 V6 does feel pretty lively in the F150, so there's that.

Overall, I don't like the way it looks. The Colorado, the Canyon, and from the little we've seen of the Tacoma....they all look MUCH better to me than this new Ranger. Interior...well I feel the same way. (haven't seen the Tacoma interior yet). It just looks forgetful. Not bad, not good either...just blah.

Also...no long bed.

I was really hoping to see more changes to differentiate the U.S. spec model over the global Ranger.

Sure Raptor has an engine with 95hp more than ZR2, which is fantastic, but a $10k bigger price tag.
