Diesel dominates in 90% of Ranger's global markets, it is those buyers that Ford is seeking out.
The new engine is pretty quiet and apart from criticism of overtaking acceleration,
it does quite well in the bush with maintaining speed off road.
Edit,
Not dismissing your claim for a more powerful TT V6 vehicle but the timing for this does not suit,
I'm sure that Ford has heard the complaints and now that the yanks are part of the picture, we should
see some progress on the next product cycle in under three years time.
