Potent heart and equally one of the highlights of the Ranger Raptor is the all-new EcoBoost V6 engine with twin-turbo charging. Optimized by Ford Performance, the three-liter gasoline engine converts its output of 212 kW (288 hp) and maximum torque of 491 Newton meters into remarkable propulsion. The power is transmitted to the wheels via a standard 10-speed automatic transmission. Each individual driving gear also has an individual boost pressure characteristic. The result: the EcoBoost V6 engine in the new Ranger Raptor impresses with dynamic power delivery in every situation. The 3.0-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 engine is made of high-density cast iron and combines low weight with enormous robustness and reliability. The engine block is 75 percent stiffer than an engine block made from conventional gray cast iron. Thanks to fine-tuning by the experts at Ford Performance, the engine responds spontaneously to gas pedal commands. Compared to the 2.0-liter, four-cylinder, bi-turbocharged EcoBlue diesel engine in the current Ranger Raptor (157 kW / 213 hp), the new powerplant offers a significant increase in power. This proven 157 kW diesel engine will remain in the lineup for other versions of the new Ranger generation, which will be available from spring 2023. Details on other engine options will be announced by Ford in time for the market launch of the other Ranger versions.
