Ford Ranger More than two decades ago, the Ford Ranger debuted as an answer to various compact pickup trucks being made available by Japanese automakers. The Ranger was cleanly styled and offered with a choice of a 6-foot or 7-foot bed. Ford boasted that the Ranger had more interior room than the best-selling imports and that 4-by-8-foot construction material could be carried in the bed.

TB spacer, depending on engine size, will add around 0-4hp. Some people that I know of (with other mods) said the TB spacer brought down performance in the midrange. I'd never buy one for my vehicles. Better to spend your money on a good cold air intake setup.
