The old 3.2-litre five-cylinder engine has been relegated to history. The TDV6 engine will be joined by the familiar 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine in both bi-turbo and single-turbo variants, with two tunes for the single-turbo engine. In 3.0-litre capacity with single- and twin-turbo arrangements it appeared in Land Rover and Range Rover models, where it produced up to 225kW and 700Nm as the SDV6. The ‘Lion’ TDV6 engine is not all-new, as it harks back to the 2.7-litre engine that we first saw in the Land Rover Discovery 3 wagon and also in the Ford Territory diesel. “I think one of the key differentiators that was actually brought to this vehicle is the level of human centred design thinking, and really understanding the customer usage and how we integrated the vehicle in to the customer’s life,” said Rob DeFilippo, chief marketer at Global Trucks. As part of this quest it carried out an extensive customer research programme. CUSTOMER RESEARCHįord looked at many other vehicles when considering the next generation of Ranger, but also at the hugely successful current model and how it could improve on that. Moving the wheels outwards has also allowed the designers to fit a wider cargo tub that will accommodate a full-size shipping pallet – something that has always being an Amarok bragging point. It’s no secret the new Ranger's platform will be shared with the 2023 Volkswagen Amarok, and while the design and engineering has been led by the Blue Oval's team, it seems the Ford crew have learned a few lessons from VW and the ageing Amarok – as it remains one of the best driving one-tonne utes on the market.Ĭhassis changes, such as widening the wheel track by 50 millimetres and moving the rear shock absorbers further outwards to widen the ute’s footprint and thus improving dynamics and increasing wheel articulation, are features that could have been taken from the current generation VW. Of course, the US will also be receiving this new Ranger in 2022, along with some 180 other countries around the globe – but as with Rangers in the past, most of the design and engineering work was done in Australia. Most obvious is the striking front-end design, which incorporates the signature C-shaped headlamp clusters from Ford trucks in the US.
