no. actually, shortbeds were stock with 3.73s, and longbeds had 3.45s...dont ask me why, lol..... 4.10s were optional as well as trac loc diff.didnt the GT's all come with 4.10's? i seem to remember noting that as the only "performance" feature.
thats one thing that disappoints me a little on the ranger GT's: no perfomance difference. im not even asking for a lot, 10-15 HP over the regular 2.9's would have been enough to really earn that GT badge.
more hp would have been great, but remember this was the mid/late 80s...they were building hp in cars, dealing with forthcoming airbags and were competing with chevy to get the GT to market before the Cameo and take advantage of the "california styling" the youth were buying at the time. "......awwww, its got plenty of power, just put the gfx on it, no decals, give it some bucket seats and let the rest be standard Ranger......" lol
