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?
Â
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.
