Most importantly, which one won't have spark plugs that cost $600 to change? I looked at a 6.2L SD today and the plug and coil is very similar to my 5.4. If they use the same plugs it is a no go.

I read in one of the articles that the 6.2l will have 2 spark plugs per cylinder to help increase fuel efficiency.

I doubt it's a 2 piece with sleeve - it's a lot more likely it's similar to the current 3v design. Remember, they redesigned the heads in mid 08 and I'm pretty confident they learned from their mistake.

Ranger sucks. My friends dad bought an 07-08 4-cyl XL and he doesn't know why. It's small, weak, and the mpg isn't even that great.

We did use it for a few camping trips but it is obsolete now with my 09 supercrew
