(“Sigh”);
“….front-end structure creates more space in the engine bay for the new V6 engine and helps future-proof the Ranger for other propulsion technologies.” I love it! Who thinks this stuff up?
Of course, they coulda said the same thing about the Ford Pinto; plenty of room to stuff a small block V-8 in there….
Old school guy here & I hate the new “short throw e-shifter”. I also hate the fact that I’d have to move to Australia (which isn’t ALL bad), or Europe(?) to get a manual transmission….or is that photo just another ‘tactical deception’?
(Doesn’t “future-proof” imply a negative thing; like it’s prevented from adapting to future technologies? Along the lines of “bullet proof”, “stain proof”, “water proof”, “bug proof”, etc.?)
