Even in the current Ranger there are customers who choose the smaller capacity engine - imagine that.

You mention you ‘can’t wait’ - geezuz settle down, it’s only another 33kw/50Nm more than FORDS 2 litre and 3 less gears

When the comparison goes off-road get ready to really laugh.

2 entirely different vehicles for 2 entirely different customers .
And that is why Ford gets away with a mediocre engine.

You probably think the lady in the Ford ad calling the Ranger a 'Truck' is acceptable too.

Some of us have higher expectations.
