Ford RVT

it comes in an 180HP DOHC V6 or a 220HP V8.

What do you guys think about it? I think it looks.... Different the headlights looks a lot like some of our projector lights.

I'm not to sure of the validity of that pic but I must say, it looks very very goddamn similar to that drawing of the new honda pickup ..... yet the response to it is much worse..... hmmmmm I guess the H in the honda drawing makes it look 30x better than this. heh.

I think it looks ugly.

the front end looks either like a crown victoria cruiser, or a contour

definetely a photochop

And as long as ford has the ranger it will not release another sport compact pick-up truck into the market

No car manufacturer is that stupid to have two of their own makes fighting it out

Ford needs to combat the new look and styling of GMC. GMC is coming out with the SSR, which is a different style of truck as well, but with only 220hp, they are coming up short.

Personally, I'm not a fan of either vehicle, but to each their own.

Indeed. . . . it's like Ford's trying to revive the Ranchero.

Old Ranchero designs > new Ranchero designs

Old Ranchero design (was actually a hacked Torino = musclecar)





I miss mine. Had a 302ci under the hood (not a 429 Cobrajet like this one). Still, would easily waste most cars on the raod when I had it.

if what people are saying about this looking like the honda truck - if it does then the honda is ugly too sorry to say

and what is with the weak 220? you can get 200 from a 4cyl rsx-s, i hear the one in jap has 220 still in a 4, so with 8 sholdent they be able to pull off double, at like 440? daaammnnn
