In the distance comes a rumble - that tell-tale rev of a diesel, that familiar burst of exhaust. The 2022 Ford Ranger is rolling off assembly lines, and the global market is rejoicing its arrival.
Will North American drivers share their delight?
According to Motor One, the 2022 Ranger has been revealed - with Ford pairing this platform with two diesel powertrain suites. The first is a robust 3.0L V6, which boasts twin-turbocharged capabilities and an on-demand 4WD to enhance all-terrain responses. This assures a class-leading output of 247 HP and 443 lb.-ft of torque, with the compact pick-up deftly adapting to any demand.
Also available for the new Ranger is a 2.0L diesel block. This single-turbo configuration yields 168 HP and 300 lb.-ft of torque, while its standard 10-speed automatic transmission and optional seven drive-modes afford precise handling on rough terrain.
Will these two engine suites be offered to North American consumers? Critics - thankfully - believe that they will. An anticipated 2023 launch should see the new Ranger arrive in Canada, with the diesel blocks proving a perfect option for the North Battleford backroads.
