The Blue Oval this month took a bold step in introducing a non-performance petrol variant to its Ford Ranger line-up.
The 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine, which produces 222kW of power and 452Nm of torque, is the bakkie ranges first standard petrol mill in ages. And the second one in the existing line-up after the performance Raptors 3.0-litre V6 twin-turbo engine.
The number of diesel powertrains in the updated Ford Ranger line-up has been trimmed from three to two. The 3.0-litre V6 and 2.0-litre single stays, while the 2.0-litre bi-turbo has been dropped.
