After developing the new powertrain for the high performance, off-road Ranger Raptor, Ford engineers knew they had something special and decided to make it available across the Ranger line-up. With improved quality, efficiency and performance, the new powertrain is Ford engineering at its finest.

Here’s 3 things why the new Ford Ranger offers the best powertrain:

SETTING A NEW STANDARD OF ENGINEERING. The new powertrain’s combination of a 2.0-liter Bi-Turbo diesel engine and 10-speed transmission is true to Ford’s commitment to get bigger power and economy from smaller boosted engines, while this engine delivers smooth torque and power through independent turbos and closer gear ratios over a wider span. The 2.0-liter Bi-Turbo engine, for instance, is the most modern diesel engine available from Ford and when paired with the 10-speed automatic transmission, the powertrain makes sure the vehicle is always in an optimal gear to deliver uncompromised performance at the best efficiency. In the Ranger this combination results in a workhorse with tremendous payload and towing capabilities, while in the Ranger Raptor, with the different drive modes influencing power and torque levels, you can do some extreme high-speed off-roading.

TRIED-AND-TESTED. To ensure that it can handle the most rugged and challenging of terrains, the powertrain has been tested around the world in some of the most extreme conditions. The transmission is already in iconic vehicles such as the F-150 Raptor and Mustang, with over half a million kilometers of extreme and real world testing behind it, including extreme hot and cold weather, as well as high altitude.
