Frank,

V6 must not have been out for 2010. The 2011 shows a 3.7L V6 and an
"eco-boost" engine, whatever that is.

Still no stick.

I've heard that one of the reasons Ford is not bringing in the global
Ranger is that it's too close in size to the F-150, so they'd rather
have potential Ranger buyers get a V6 F-150.
