New Ford Ranger V6 and 4-cylinder engine outputs finally revealed
When the new Ford Ranger was revealed late last year the carmaker confirmed what we’d all been hoping for - that there would be a V6 diesel version.
However Ford left us guessing exactly how powerful the new bakkie’s engines would be, but now all that information has been released in a preview event held at the local factory in Silverton, Gauteng.
According to Ford the new 3.0-litre V6 turbodiesel will produce 184kW and 600Nm in both the Ranger and Everest applications.
As previously mentioned Ford is also ditching the current 2.2-litre and 3.2-litre diesel engines, and to plug the gap left by the previous entry-level engine Ford is offering its 2.0-litre single-turbo diesel in two output levels: 110kW and 350Nm, as well as 125kW and 450Nm.
Bridging the gap between these and the new V6, the 2.0 twin-turbo carries over with 155kW and 500Nm.
As for gearboxes, the single-turbo Rangers will be offered with five- and six-speed manuals as well as a six-speed automatic, while the twin-turbo 2.0 and new 3.0 V6 get the familiar 10-speed autobox.
Ford Ranger and Everest program manager Pritika Maharaj said the company did a lot of application calibration and validation work in both the US and Australia to make sure that the new V6 would meet the needs of Ranger and Everest customers.

New Ford Ranger V6 and 4-cylinder engine outputs finally revealed
Ford has finally told us how powerful the new Ranger models are, including the new V6 turbodiesel and the 2.0 variants with revised outputs.

Question still remains what models are getting what engines? Like now the XLT got the 2.0 SiT and not the bi-turbo.

As per the MotorMatters vid the bigwigs mentioned the local model breakdown is TBA in coming months.

I really hope they add the 3.0 V6 and the bi-turbo to the XLT range
I'm in the XLT price range. Always have been.
Alas, I feel XLT will only get the BiTurbo with the V6 reserved for Wildtrak / Platinum blah blah.
I really would love the V6 as the jump from my current 3.2 to the BiTurbo wouldn't really be anything special or different power wise.
At least my current XLT will have R250k of value to use as a deposit on the next one. Maybe, just maybe, the numbers for a V6 model will work for us...

They're here: Pre-production models of Ford's new Ranger, Everest touch down in SA
• Ford South Africa revealed its next-generation Ranger and Everest; albeit in pre-production form.
• Both vehicles are touted to set new standards in their respective segments when they launch later this year.
• The Ranger and Everest will be built in South Africa at Ford's Silverton assembly plant.
The South African market is getting ever closer to the local launch of the next-generation Ranger bakkie and Everest SUV. Both vehicles were shown to a global audience via digital presentations, along with the expected specifications available to each. Ford South Africa, too, is excited about the prospect of launching both vehicles in the local market and is confident that they will set new standards in their respective segments.
Just weeks after the Everest's reveal, both the new SUV and new Ranger were shown to media representatives at Ford's Silverton assembly plant in Pretoria, South Africa. According to Ford SA, local media are among the first in the world to see both the new bakkie and SUV in the metal outside of those working for Ford.
Media were given an overview of the updated production facilities where both the Ranger and Everest will be built, along with a reveal of the two models - albeit pre-production units that were imported for homologation purposes.
The highlight accompanying the news was that a new 3.0-litre V6 turbodiesel engine would headline both the Ranger and Everest's engine line-up.
The new unit will offer 184kW and 600Nm and is mated to Ford's 10-speed automatic transmission. Speaking on the engine, Pritika Maharaj, Ranger and Everest programme manager, notes that this engine has been added to see to customers' needs and demands.
Maharaj says: "We're offering this engine specifically because some customers told us they wanted more power and torque for towing and extreme off-roading. When you drive a Ranger with the V6 turbodiesel, it feels like a much bigger (bakkie). And it feels strong in the sense that it's got plenty of power and torque, which is exactly what our customers told us they wanted."
Ford's new V6 diesel engine will complement the existing range of single- and bi-turbo 2.0-litre diesel engines.

New Ford Ranger’s V6 Turbodiesel Outputs Confirmed
Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa has confirmed the peak outputs of the 3.0-litre V6 turbodiesel that will power the new Ranger and Everest…
When Ford revealed the new Ranger late in 2021, it confirmed plans to add a 3.0-litre V6 turbodiesel to the range. Now the South African subsidiary of the Blue Oval brand has finally announced the peak outputs of this oil-burning 6-cylinder engine, ahead of the new Ranger’s launch later in 2022.
The V6, which will also be offered at the summit of the new Everest line-up, produces healthy peak outputs of 184 kW and 600 Nm. Ford claims the compacted graphite iron from which the block is fashioned is “around 75% stronger and 75% stiffer” than the iron used in traditional arrangements. The turbodiesel 6-pot will be paired with Ford’s familiar 10-speed automatic transmission.

Live and in the flesh! We got a sneak peek at the new Ford Ranger and Everest
The new Ford Ranger and Everest are real and live. A sneak preview of the newcomers at the Ford plant in Silverton, Pretoria showed two vehicles that are much better looking in the flesh than could be gleaned from the carefully crafted preview images that have been widely circulated during the past months as the build project ramped up.
Albeit the preview vehicles were left-hand drive imports and not necessarily with the same specification that will appear in the local models when launched later this year, the initial impression is one of quality and refinement coupled with attention-grabbing looks.
However, perhaps as important as the vehicles themselves is the massive investment that has gone into transforming the plant into a state-of-the-art modern assembly facility where hi-tech computer control ensures the specific part is delivered to where it is needed and at the right time.
This production line is building the current Ranger models. Although the same strenuous levels of quality checks are in place, it serves to help fine-tune the increased production volumes that will be required for the new Ranger to be exported to dozens of countries overseas and within Africa.

FIRST DRIVE | Watch out, Hilux! Ford's new Ranger likely to turn SA's bakkie game on its head
• We drive Ford's all-new Ranger, in Wildtrak 4x4 guise, in Thailand.
• The new Ranger will go on sale in South Africa before year-end, but pricing and specification are yet to be confirmed.
• The new Ranger is kitted with an switch-on-the-fly 4x4 system and several driving modes.
In summary
Initial impressions are positive: Ford has improved its Ranger in a big way, and it shows. From the exterior design to the internals working under the metal, the all-new Ranger is the next new flavour, and it's difficult imagining South Africans not gravitating toward it.
Though the Thailand Rangers may have a different specification list than the bakkies that will go on sale here, the driving experience could be as close as it gets to the bakkies destined for our market.
Ford South Africa confirmed that the new Ranger would go on sale in this year's fourth quarter.

UPDATE | Ford's new Ranger now in SA and about to turn the bakkie game on its head | Life
The all-new Ford Ranger launches locally in December - just a couple of days away. We revisit our trip to Thailand when News24 Motoring drove the bakkie at its international debut.

Overall
It’s been some time coming – and understandably steeped in hype – but our first taste of the new Ford Ranger seems to have justified such a build-up. The things we love; the ruggedness off-road and ease of use on it, are still present and correct but they’ve been polished and refined in the new Ranger to present a vehicle that looks set to take the bakkie segment by storm when it arrives here in November.
This drive is just the first step in a journey we’ve taken with Ranger that will culminate in an in-depth drive with insights from those involved in the new car’s development, so keep an eye out for further updates, including a chance encounter with the most powerful Ranger to date.
