@@samuellujan7525 why would you take an objectively worse product? It's more expensive, less reliable, heavier, slower, and doesn't look any different than an f150

@@ericksanchez7787 Stock 'scale model' rangers have gotten far more work done than any daily driven 'mall crawling' monstrosity trucks people are driving these days. No doubt in my mind.
Nice job on that Ranger! And man, do I recognize that stretch of the 60....that's my daily commute from just east of Silly Mountain into Mesa. Looks like top-tier work from your shop.
Wow... I want this build for my older brother 06 ranger. As a little brother I want the best for him since his ranger kick the bucket lol thanks guys. Watched this build from start to finish
This is awesome.👍😎 I don't know how I missed this one. I am currently swapping a Gen 1 3.5 in a '83 2wd Ranger. Project 'Strange Brew'. It's been many years since I started but your video gives me encouragement to keep on going. Keep up the good work.😎
...and here I am in my '04 XLT FX4 giggling like a madman because my Ranger is shaking itself to pieces when I hit 95mph. I would love to do that swap, or even a V8 swap would be a riot, but it would no doubt cost at least 5 times more than what my truck is worth.
Just saw this. Is your FX4 strictly street driven and how many miles? My 05 Edge extended cab,4 doors, 2wd has 95,000 miles, street driven, original shocks, replaced front sway bar links, 4X4 rear sway bar added is steady as a rock at 100 plus. I never let my Michelin Defender tires exceeded 7 years old, never wear them out ); A lot of variables can cause shaking.
I would love to have this ranger only thing I would trade out is the auto for a stick shift not because it's faster but it's more interactive and typically funner to drive
I’m on my 4th Ranger XLT super cab with a 4.0 V6. It does everything I need it to do. I did add a K&N intake and a 3” FlowMaster exhaust. I took on a 5.3 Chevy and blew his doors off.
I have a 1994 that I'd love to drop a larger motor into. It has the 2.3 and a manual tranny, but looking to put a 4.0 or 5.0 Mustang motor into it. This got me juiced to do it!
About to do the same swap on my 79 ford courier with a wrecked '14 f150 I bought. Hoping to swap as much of the driveline as possible too. Wish me luck.
Hahaha! I found this video by accidentally! That’s our street! I work where the bare cell tower is. I also race my diesel and corvette up and down Melody. 😂
john russo that motor and trans is at least $20 in a crate not installed. It’s $30 to get a crate 6.4 Hemi with trans put into a Jeep JL. If this is that cheap I’d be very surprised.
I’m a Chevy guy but I love the old Ford ranger body style. The engineers definitely hit the nail on the head with that body style. I’m also a huge square body fan. I’m not a fan of the engine size though! Haha
Now they do, but they're expensive as hell. It costs a lot more than the older Rangers, and they have smaller beds. But since they have ecoboost engines, there maybe a lot of room for some modifications or swaps.
I have a 2003 Ranger extra cab , it has 4 doors , but the rear ones are suicide doors . Are you talking about having full size rear seats instead of fold down seats ?
Def not bullshit. I have the same truck doing 4.8 seconds with 3.55 gears. The 2017 3.5 is way lighter than the Raptor so it’s faster 0-60 especially when tuned.
Frank White you must not know much on these vehicles. The explorer sport has a transverse engine whereas the F-150 has a longitudinal engine. The F-150 engine makes 375hp and 470tq stock whereas the Explorer sport makes 365hp and 350 tq. Stock 2017 F-150 does 0-60 in 5.8 - 6.1 depending on trim level (weight) seconds. Stock 2017 Explorer Sport does 0-60 in 5.8 seconds. 1/4 mile F150 is about 14.7 seconds and the explorer is about 14.4 seconds.
Ryan S tuned vs tuned the F150 setup is much quicker and can handle the power without failure. The weak link is the transverse setup.. it can’t handle the power like the F150 can.. also, the f-150 setup tuned with E85 and with an upgraded fuel pump (everything else stock) runs 11.60 quarter mile. Tuned on 93 gas (safe daily tune, not race) it’s running mid 12s. Race tuning it’s running low 12s. 2017 F150 dyno at tires results: Stock - 330 hp / 415 tq 93 Gas- 469 hp / 533 tq E50- 553 hp / 617 tq Race Gas - 550 hp / 630 tq The E85 results I couldn’t find at the wheels but was said to have about 700 hp at the crank. Which isn’t unrealistic considering the GT MKII is making about that.
Trey K yeah the f150 3.5 ecoboost is legit. Also the dyno numbers are always hindered because people have to run it in 5th gear rather than 7th which is 1:1. The truck with hit the limiter in 7th before it redlines. Ones that have been tuned to remove that show way better numbers in 7th vs 5th!
Grab a 1996 Single Cab Ranger Splash. That little step side with proper sport suspension and this motor swap would be my dream come true... The 96 Splash was my first truck. I moded mine with Cobra R wheels and 255x40r17 at all 4 corners flip kit, and 2" coil drop. The stock 4.0 in that little truck with 373s was fast. But this swap or jist a 2.7 ecoboost would be a dream...
Absolutely a fantastic video. That Ranger is badass. It’s hard to believe that truck is so fast. Definitely a sleeper. Of course you just gotta love the shot of Lucy ( the dog).
2nd gen Raptors have 10 speed trans. Not sure what in ranger, but I'm sure there's also a way to adapt from 3.5 boost to the 5R55E's that come in the ranger Edges. The 5R's are relatively reliable and strong. It would be worth building one to put behind a 3.5 boost.
I have a 2003 Ranger with the Vulcan 3.0 130k on the clock I bought it for a project it's lowered on blocks I would love this build in my truck!! I've even seen it coyote swapped which was nuts
I got a 08 ranger and it's super fast with the 4.0 six in it. Not as fast as this one, but I got little under 8k in my ranger vs the cost of that raptor. If your not made of money or just dont see the value as in my case then buy am older model and personalize it to your liking. For the price of the raptor you could get all the updated luxury shit installed for half the price of the raptor.
NOTE: the 2.7 is faster than the 3.5 from factory. But I beat tuned raptors all the time. They’re a bit heavier than my F150 but I have the 2.7 just intake and exhaust and I get them pretty easily. To be fair I don’t think every Raptor owner races their trucks on the street like I do, not sayin I’m a professional; I’m just very comfortable with my truck. My 0-60 time is almost two seconds faster than the ranger so I think we’d be a good race. I have a good gear ration too so I’d like to see how we’d do top end. I’ll definitely get him in a quarter mile but top end I think I’d want to be tuned before we roll race like they did.
Can't agree more and well said. Would take the ranger anyday and it just sounds right in that thing, but not in that big ass raptor. Still waiting for a 6.2. till then pretty happy with my good ol' V8.
my brother just sold me his 2011 ranger, v4 unfortunately but it has upholstered seats and a custom center Colum, full stereo system and factory color Silver with color matched door handles and grill, beautiful truck. paid him 7k lmao
WOW, that is a beautiful shop you have there. I think I would love to work in that shop. After turning wrenches for over thirty years now, most of them for dealerships paid flat rape, it looks like it would be a welcoming change.

@@primitiveassembly199 aha hell ya man i have an 88 2.9l sounds about right thats why i love it though

Personally, If I had to choose between the two, I'd take the ranger. less to go wrong.
Yeah but I like the raptor for the size and luxury. As well as off-road ability with the suspension.

I've owned both I can confirm the 3.5 is better.
Wonder if this can be done to my Tacoma
@@freedomisntfree_44 go 2jz in the yota.
If the ranger had better tires it would perform so much better. I would love to see how fast it truly was with good tires.
Launching on slicks at the track, it would probably pull the front wheels.
