If Ford has some sense and sells the 3.0 16 valve 4 cylinder Turbodiesel with the 150 hp and 280 torque which is found overseas currently, they already have 1 buyer. With the Mazda chassis we will get double wishbone front suspension with torsion bars instead of the twin I-beam carry over from the 1960s. Ford had been using this suspension in light duty trucks in the last 30 years of Rangers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the engine and power train controls carry over from the BT-50 diesels there are plug in tuners available as well. Plug it in, turn up the boost and pick up an extra 50 torque!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can tell I really want a new Mazda truck can&#8217;t you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who knows, CorkSport may even offer performance parts for the trucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"mailto:De*****@*******rt.com\" data-original-string=\"mPf3Yi70jcpVuSlkm\/wtwA==27bVxAgivwYiYFL1RmIYr3ono5uLd\/z6I+SoJ2JjcjysxU=\" title=\"This contact has been encoded by Anti-Spam by CleanTalk.
