Surely it'll be in the vicinity of 120k plus, even if they give credit for the 2.0l

Now im sure some will think im just kicking Ford here, but if its 120k or up for a Ranger I don't see how its any different to the argument against the Camaro by some who suggest the premium isn't justified when you can just buy a Mustang for 30k less, well, you can get the bigger RAM for 40k less.
The smart thing to do would be to work out a way to add the engine and trans
on the production line and complete the units there.

I find the timing of this project interesting, the utes actually timed to arrive
with barely 12 months to run on this product cycle.
