Maxidyne Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 May explain why the U.S./Canada market Ranger is such a disappointment while the ROW Rangers are considered best in class.

kscarbel2 Posted June 24, 2020 Author Share Posted June 24, 2020 My disappoint remains the complete lack of drivetrain options, No 2.2L I4 diesel, no 3.2L I5 diesel (even though it's sold here in the Transit) and no 1.6L I4 EcoBoost diesel, as is available in the rest of the world.

Maxidyne Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Put a diesel in the Ranger and I'll buy one. But fat chance of that, even though the F150 and Transit list diesel options, it doesn't look like they've built any.

kscarbel2 Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 I see diesel Transits and the operators are quite pleased. However, I've yet to see a Range Rover diesel-powered F-150.

Maxidyne Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 The F150 diesel flopped in the market because Ford only offered it with premium trims at $50+k prices. Fleets could buy it with plainer trims at more competitive prices, and Ford finally gave in and offered XLT trimmed models to the mass markets for around $40k and up. Looks like the inventory of 2019s is finally clearing out and Ford is building 2020 F150 diesels, but at $40k most buyers will opt for a gasser F150 for thousands less or an F250 diesel for about the same price.
