Dr.Drako Posted August 4, 2020 Posted August 4, 2020 The war of medium-sized pick-ups promises to burn and now it will not only be a question of power. We talk a lot about the next Ford Ranger, a pick-up that is produced at various plants around the world, including the one in Pacheco, Argentina. We know that VW was unplugged from the shared project, but now the "gossip" is that the oval would get down the drain ... literally speaking. New range of engines According to the Australian site Car Expert Ford would leave out the 3.2-liter 5-cylinder TDi engine in favor of the 2.0-liter 213 Hp biturbo diesel, like the one we saw in the Ranger Raptor. While not what low-end torque lovers want, the EcoBlue four-cylinder is lighter, should consume less, and would meet stricter anti-pollution standards. At the base of the pyramid should be the 2.2 TDi 160 horsepower, but the real surprise comes the top of the range. V6 of the F-150 One of the proposals will be that the top of the range of the new Ford Ranger adopt the 3.0L V6 TDi of the F-150 that delivers 252 Ho. However, there is room for one more novelty ... Stronger than vinegar Those who know the global market for pick-ups will know that the US version of the Ranger is a 2.3-liter turbocharged gas station, delivering 270 Hp and 420 Nm. Now there is talk of a plug-in hybrid version of that mechanics with the encapsulated electric motor inside the transmission, which would bring power to 365 Hp and torque to almost 600 Nm. Thus, Ford would have a contender for every threat, from the Amarok V6 to the next Hilux, which would also have a hybrid version. Regarding the design, it has been written a lot that the future Ranger would look a lot like the F-150, and for this reason we leave you this teaser made in India, which we really like. 2 1
