 Subject: TT ranger- Does it exist?
IP: Logged
Message:
I parked next to a black late model ranger last night, it had a Harley Davidson badge on the front fenders and the tailgate, and next to the HD badges it said "Twin Turbo Ranger". Is this an actual Ford package or is the owner sticking his own badges on it? I've never heard of anything like that. Thanks for any info on this.

Sounds like someone invented their own package to me. There were Harley F150s and F250s but never on the Ranger. And I think the only Ranger with a turbo from the factory was a diesel in the mid 80's that hardly anyone bought.

I used to own a 1993 ranger prior to my dakota. I used to hang out in the ranger forums like i do now at dodgedakotas.com. There were some impressive project trucks. Custom 2.3 turbo rangers . Supercharged 4.0's, and rangers with some highly modded 302's. The craziest think i saw was a lightning's 5.4 motor supercharger in all shoved into a little ranger. The one thing though, is none of these guys slapped any stipid stickers on them. There is definetly no Harley edition ranger either, but the twin turbo set up may be possible.

What sucks is I've been noticing places like Pep Boys/AutoZone starting to sell Dodge HEMI badging.
Just wait until you start to see tons of non-Hemi powered vehicles with them badging. Ranging from actual non-Hemi Rams to Dakota's to FWD cars (expect a few local Mexicans to try that one). There's already some Stratus' and the likes with MAGNUM V8 badging all over them around here. No V8's under the hood though :-P

Thanks for the input, the truck looked clean and not "rigged up" so that's why I thought maybe it came that way. I agree with you guys, it's one thing to put your own graphics on something but it's something else to advertise your vehicle is something it isnt.

That's pretty lame to badge a truck making it sound better than it really is. Sounds like the guy just wanted to "beef up" his "girly truck" so he wouldn't feel like a wussy cruising down the road.
About the mexicans trying that hemi badging, hilarious; and completely true here in Arizona lol.

This truck does exist. It was released in 2002. 4.0 Liter V-6 Twin Turbo. Wasn't released as a HD version but the truck was released. There's a picture of the side of this truck on that site. It DOES have the HD stickers on it.

It seems to be an aftermarket kit.
Probably big bucks. The one in the pic does have the H-D badge, maybe it's the one he saw(?)

Is THIS the pic?
On that site, it says "2002 Ford Ranger 4.0 Twin Turbo Kit."
Don't think that means it is factory.

Did you see it in New Jersey? It's almost definitely the same truck. It's not a factory package, the logos or the twin turbos.
Can you even fit a Harley in the back of a Ranger? *laugh*
