2022 Ford Ranger: Power Stroke V6 headlines engine line-up
The 2022 Ford Ranger has actually been unveiled in advance of its launch mid-next year, with 4 engine alternatives being introduced.
But while Ford has launched photos and also supplied a general overview of the Ranger, most of the details remain a mystery.
3 types of diesel and one petrol option will certainly be readily available when the ute takes place sale, along with three transmissions, however, it's unclear which powertrains will be used to Australian purchasers, nor has the carmaker disclosed power outcomes.
We do know both the 3.2-litre as well as 2.2-liter diesel Duratorq engines have been discontinued.
Headlining the brand-new engine line-up is a 3.0-liter turbo-diesel Power Stroke V6-- the very same engine used in the US-market F-150, up until it was quietly eliminated from the F-Series in July to aid differentiate the huge pick-up from its mid-sized brother or sister.
Additionally introduced was the familiar 2.0-liter twin-turbo four-cylinder diesel motor, with entry-level Ranger designs readied to obtain the single-turbo 2.0-liter diesel four.
Yet to be validated for Australia is a 2.3-liter turbo-petrol four-cylinder EcoBoost engine-- exclusively readily available to the North American market in the outward bound Ranger.
Ford has actually not made any statements regarding the brand-new Ranger Raptor, yet it's most likely the V6 does carry over to the flagship version when it makes its launching. If the present design is any type of indication, the engine will possibly carry the very same song as discovered in the Wildtrak as well as FX4 Max.
3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6
The 2022 Ford Ranger will make its debut with a new 3.0-liter turbo-diesel V6 Power Stroke engine, anticipated to be combined with the 10-speed 10R80 automatic transmission currently used in Ford's line-up right here as well as in The United States and Canada.
When fitted to the F-150, the V6 created 185kW and 600Nm, and though performance figures for the engine have not been introduced for the future ute, Ranger Global Program Supervisor Pritika Maharaj claims the new six-cylinder has actually gone through special advancement for the brand-new version.
" While the V6 is proven in the field, we treated it just like a brand-new engine for Ranger, so we did a great deal of application, calibration, and validation job to make certain it would meet the requirements of Ranger customers."
It's not known whether this implies the V6 will certainly be rubbed to use greater degrees of performance than when it was fitted to the F-150, yet given the engine is down 5kW on the Volkswagen Amarok's V6-- with the next-generation Amarok set to be based upon the Ranger-- a brand-new tune may see some added power extracted.
No matter the Power Stroke's exact numbers, the engine is enough to get an F-150 to 100km/h from a grinding halt in about 8 secs, and also ought to give a noticeable improvement to the previous Ranger's 0-100km/ h sprint time.
The design's current efficiency flagship, the Ranger Raptor, takes greater than 10.5 seconds to reach 100km/h thanks to its 157kW and 500Nm. Also in the F-150 tune, the brand-new V6 would certainly provide an 18 percent rise in power and 20 percent increase in torque.
" When you drive a Ranger with the V6 turbo-diesel, it will certainly feel like a much larger truck. It sounds different from the minute you press the beginning. It feels polished and also challenging at the same time, with effortless acceleration thanks to its endless power and torque," Maharaj claimed at the unveiling.
2.0-litre bi-turbo diesel
Continuing in the brand-new version is the 2.0-liter twin-turbo diesel four-cylinder engine, presently readily available as an alternative on the outward bound Ranger.
Precisely which designs the engine will be readily available in will be revealed closer to introduce in 2022, but as the V6 takes over as the front runner engine, it's possible the bi-turbo takes the place of the ceased 3.2-liter five-cylinder as standard-fit throughout mid-range and also Wildtrak variants in Australia.
In its current guise, the bi-turbo generates 157kW and 500Nm, as well as is anticipated to continue to be mated to the 10-speed transmission.
2.0-litre turbo-diesel
While strange in Australia, a 2.0-liter single-turbo diesel four-cylinder engine is anticipated to be used in South Africa as well as chosen Eastern markets as it is currently, offered with either a manual gearbox or the optional 10-speed automated.
It's unclear yet whether entry-level variants will certainly be fitted with the single-turbo engine in Australia, as a replacement for the axed 2.2-litre Duratorq.
The 2.0-litre would be a suitable upgrade, nonetheless, with the engine producing 132kW as well as 420Nm in abroad markets-- compared with 118kW as well as 385Nm of the 2.2-liter.
2.3-litre turbo-petrol
Likely to be supplied as an entry-level powertrain in North America, the 2.3-liter turbo-petrol four-cylinder EcoBoost engine is readily available locally as a lot more cost-effective choice in the Mustang variety.
The selection of a 2.3-liter EcoBoost and a 3.0-liter Power Stroke would certainly place the Ranger well in between the smaller Radical as well as bigger F-150, providing North American customers a distinct pecking order of pick-ups in the Ford variety.
Drivetrains and transmission
For the very first time, top versions of the new Ranger will certainly be readily available with full-time 4x4.
Even more, information will certainly be announced in more detail to the model's launch, however, drivers will have the capacity to choose '4A' on the console-mounted 4WD selector, allowing the car's computers to select the most effective degree of traction whether on the highway or in off-road conditions.
An even more traditional part-time four-wheel-drive system will certainly likewise be offered.
3 transmissions have been selected for the 2022 Ford Ranger-- a 10-speed automatic, a six-speed automated, as well as a handbook with either five or six ahead gears.
Ford has yet to validate which engines and variants will be matched to which transmissions, yet the extension of the 6R80 six-speed car discovered in the outbound Ranger indicates it may be matched with either the 2.3-liter EcoBoost, or the entry-level 2.0-liter single-turbo diesel motor.
The specially-developed MT88 is a variation of the seven-speed transmission located in the US-market Ford Bronco, yet will certainly be used in the Ranger with either 5 or six rates. It's most likely the five-speed variation will certainly be booked for commercial-oriented Ranger versions, while the six-speed will be provided on greater qualities.
It's anticipated the majority of Australian Ranger owners will experience the firm's 10R80 10-speed transmission, as fitted to the present design.
Even more ahead
As Ford has been light on details concerning the new Ranger, it can suggest the automobile is still undergoing its final stage of development-- offered the around the world concerns with the semiconductor shortage, delivery hold-ups, and also the costly lockdowns in Victoria-- where most of Ford's Australian engineers reside.
Complete rates, as well as requirements of the 2022 Ford Ranger, will certainly be announced better to the ute's local launch in the center of next year.
