Good looking Hino-probably a matter of time before we see that here.

TeamsterGrrrl Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Haven't read of a V6 option in the current Ranger, but I've been told that the Ecoboost V6 will fit and will likely appear in a high performance Ranger. One of the problems with the current overhead cam Ford V8s is that they're probably too wide to fit in the Ranger and that width is the reason Ford based the last couple Mustangs on the wide body 67 model rather than the skinnier original 64 1/2 model. With the narrower 60 degree V6 Ecoboost engine, Ford could build a proper reproduction of the original 64 1/2 Mustang again, as well as a high performance Ranger.

The Ranger and Everest are available with a new 2.0-liter turbocharged (twin-scroll) EcoBoost with high pressure direct injection that has the power and torque of a 3.5-liter V-6 (per Ford). I've heard 250hp and 270 lb/ft. That 4-cylinder is all you need.

What about Transit is it best selling Van in the World? Ten years ago I'd say Toyota. But today, leading brands of light trucks in China are generating high volume.

TeamsterGrrrl Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I came across an article that says the Ranger is the best selling pickup in Europe, but Europeans prefer vans to pickups and while the Transits sell well there, I suspect VW's vans sell even better.
