It's highly likely that more than a few Ranger buyers have expressed a desire for a bigger engine,
those are the people that Ford listens to and probably where interest in a V8 Ranger came from
in the first place. I doubt that Ford entertained building a V8 mule on a whim of fancy, someone
had evidence to at least investigate the idea but maybe the engineers found a better way to deliver
performance without a V8?

Yes, but 0-100 in double digits is not really performance.
I know people will say that it's not about straight line speed, but dual cabs seem to have the highest average speed out of all vehicle categories on the road. They have some of the worst power to weight ratios and are still the fastest drivers.
I talked myself into it, Little 4 cylinders are the only engine that should be allowed in dual cab utes.
