The ecoboost 4 banger turbo can motivate a ranger IMO no problem
or turbo a 2.5L or whatever goes easily into the ranger and gives you the trans you want
Last year of 5.0 was 2001 in the explorer
Do you want auto or 5 speed?
First I am going auto this time, getting older and the traffic and ALL OF THE F'n Stop Signs and Signals in SoCal, make an auto a must have.
My preference is 5 or 6 speed manual, can't beat the sound you get out of a manual behind the engine.
The 4.6/5.0 V-8 sound interesting, maybe I can sell the 5.0 W and get a newer 5.0... I will have to look into that.
Thx for the input.
Last question... for now, What is a good transmission that will bolt to the 5.0 Coyote, and adapt to an Atlas II ?
Is there a six speed with low first gears ? I know the automatic will give you the feeling of a lower first but I wanted good towing power.
