it wouldn't matter with some people. if it came with a more powerful engine, there would be something else they would find to complain about. that has been the trend on here every time a new ford vehicle is released.

Wrong! I would have NO complaints if this vehicle came with a 2.7tt ecoboost. It would suit the character of the RR much better, since it is designed for performance, not to tow heavy loads. Diesel is great for towing, but petrol has vastly superior performance. Unladen, even the fuel economy would be fine. Maybe Ford didn't have a choice, but it is not the ideal engine for a performance off-road vehicle, no matter how you look at it.

Engine responds very well to mods, but auto gearbox can become unsettled trying to cope with the extra torque. Good fuel economy overall: 9-12L/100km city, 8L/100 country.
