We didn’t get to sample this engine at this launch event.

It produces 125kW at 3500rpm and 405Nm from 1750 to 2500rpm and will be backed by the 6-speed automatic transmission carried over from the current generation Ranger. The next rung down the Ranger ladder finds a new model that has been added to the range – the Ranger Sport, and again it’s available with the V6 or I4 diesel engines, both backed by the 10-speed automatic transmission and 4x4 only.Ī single turbocharger variant of the 2.0L diesel engine is offered in 4x2 and XL 4x4 model Rangers. The Ranger Wildtrak is also available with the bi-turbo I4 diesel engine as are the Sport and XLT 4x4 models, and as in all of them it is $3000 less than the same car with the diesel V6. The V6 should also trump the I4 when it comes to hauling a load, be it in the tray or on a trailer. The V6 diesel doesn’t make the Ranger a rocket ship by any means but the smooth, refined way it delivers its improved performance makes the drive experience far better than that of the bi-turbo 4-cylinder. It continues as we merge on to the highway and are greeted with seamless mid-range torque as the Wildtrak accelerates up to speed. On these low-speed suburban streets, the refinement of the V6 engine over anything an inline 4-cylinder engine could ever deliver, becomes evident.
