Days before its official debut in Europe, Ford released a teaser of the next-generation Ranger mid-size pick-up truck. The new-gen Ford Ranger is likely to form its powertrains with the Bronco. The new Ranger will be based on the T6 body-on-frame platform updated version which debuted on the Bronco SUV. The updated platform can support hybrid powertrains and has a comparatively bigger footprint.
Additionally, the new Ranger pick-up truck will form the foundation for the next-generation Endeavour SUV (Everest) which will share its interior, exterior, platform, and engine options. Ford’s latest pickup line will be offered in multiple variants and body styles and the high-performance Raptor is said to be in development.
The teaser shows the presence of C-shaped LED Daytime Running Lamps (DRLs) that flank a large front grille with the Ford logo in the centre and a contoured clamshell bonnet. The Ford Ranger gets a 310hp, 2.7-litre twin-turbo V6 petrol and a 270hp, 2.3-litre, four-cylinder turbo-petrol. The smaller capacity engine comes with a 7-speed manual or 10-speed automatic gearbox. The larger 2.7-litre engine, on the other hand, gets a 10-speed automatic.
The Ranger Raptor is expected to get a twin-turbocharged V6 motor that generates around 400 hp. Joining the Ranger line-up at some point is likely a plug-in hybrid powertrain.
