Because, among other reasons, LBJ wanted Europe to eat more American chicken

"With the Raptors Turbocharged 2.7l V6" had me rolling. Raptor owners and their little 2.7s.

2,200lbs payload is the only thing making me jealous.

Yeah. I must be getting old because the van version is pretty nice too. Check out their road race team in Thailand.

Great looking truck. Man, that 3.0L would be awesome with Borla cat back black chrome dual exhaust!

Probably because they've done market research and determined releasing a truck like this would have poor sales. Most US consumers buying trucks want one of two things: beefy looking full size trucks or smaller, cheaper trucks. The F-150 is the best selling pickup in the US, and the Maverick was outselling the Ranger 3:1 in late 2023. A street version of the Ranger in the US doesn't make sense, but a street version of the Maverick does.
