After about three months of speculation since the new Ford Ranger made its official debut, the blue oval firm has finally revealed power output figures of what powers the range, no pun intended.
Slated to launch in Mzansi sometime before the end of the year, the Ford Ranger is powered by three engine options; 3.0-litre V6, 2.0-litre with either a single- or bi-turbo and a 2.3-litre EcoBoost petrol.
Starting off with the single turbo, it can be had in two different performance levels that offer 110 kW and 350 Nm of torque, and 125 kW and 405 Nm. These will be paired with either a 6-speed automatic transmission or a new 5 and 6-speed manual gearbox.
There is a 2.0-litre Bi-Turbo that also does work underneath the current Raptor with 155 kW and 500 Nm of torque, it will also power the new Everest and will be paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
Headlining the range is a 3.0-litre V6 turbodiesel engine that spews 184 kW and 600 Nm of torque and will also feature the aforementioned gearbox.
According to Ford, the 3.0-litre V6 unit boasts a compacted graphite iron block that is around 75% stronger and 75% stiffer than the iron used in traditional engine blocks.
“The Ford product development team’s goal with the next-gen Ranger was to deliver a vehicle that met the needs of customers in more than 180 different markets and be the one truck the world trusts to tackle anything,” said Graham Pearson, vehicle program director for Ranger. “And to be that one truck the world trusts, the next-gen Ranger had to excel in several key areas: stance and stability, towing, off-road capability, performance, and drivability.”
