When Ford introduced the new Ranger for global markets last November, it didn't go into too many details about the powertrains. Since then, we've learned the range-topping Raptor will have two different outputs depending on region, but what about the diesels? Without further ado, the Blue Oval is now saying the most potent oil-burner will offer 247 horsepower (184 kilowatts) and 600 Newton-meters (443 pound-feet) of torque.
The torquey 3.0-liter V6 turbodiesel comes with a stop/start system, which is also available for the Ranger Raptor's twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 gasoline mill. In Australia, the Blue Oval will sell the six-cylinder pickup with the diesel in XLT, Sport, and Wildtrak trim levels. Fuel economy numbers have yet to be published, but we do know the truck meets Euro 5 regulations. The on-demand 4WD system comes with 2H, 4H and 4L modes as well as a 4A automatic mode.
