It's surprising how fast both of these cars actually are. Just think about it, a stock Torana GTR XU1 did a quarter mile in about 16 seconds and a stock Falcon GTHO Phase 3 did it in about 14.5 seconds. I know both were manuals but really, how fast do you need these utes to be.

Would be interesting to see a towing test between the 4 and 6 cylinders aswell Paul. A couple of 3t vans in the hills would be a good test for these Rangers! A torque test rather than just off the mark power. Might also be a good chance to show the integrated trailer controllers in operation too. What do you think?

[@Malc664]

Yes, a good towing gauntlet. Find a steep mountain somewhere.

[@deanrwilson]

The V6 makes 100nm more torque and starts lower in the Rev Range so it will tow better and the engine will be less stressed

[@tofiking3944]

@@deanrwilson I'm not so sure about that. There were towing tests done between the 3.2 litre and the 2 litre and surprisingly the 2 litre did the same circuit faster, maintained up-hill speed better and used less fuel.

[@colemadsen2176]

@@tofiking3944 that was a great test . And thats because the 3.2 L was only pumping out 470nm with a 6sp and the 2.2 bi turbo was 500nm with a 10sp in that test. I didn't expect the 3.2 to perform as slow as it did.

From my experience with the v6 engines in my Disco's do better just doing a straight launch, no holding on the breaks. I have the Ranger with the Bi-turbo and a disco with the v6, both tow the a 2.5t load well, the difference is the v6 has plenty of torque in reserve for the long hills. Let's hope Ford has sorted some reliability issues for the v6.

[@deanrwilson]

It sounds like a lot of people waiting for this car will be devastated to find out it's nowhere as quick as the current V6 Amarok. By all means do the test but the stats show the Amarok TDI580 at 0-100 in 7.3 Seconds. It's worth noting though that the TDI580 uses overboost to pump peak power to 200KW but can only do this for 10 seconds. So in reality it's not 200KW in the purist form but for overtaking and 0-100 sprints comes in handy. The current Amarok V6 is a highly under rated car. On road it drives so much better than anything else on the market today and we spend most of out time on road.

[@esco1995]

Ford typically cuts torque in the lower gears to protect the gearbox, that’s why the 180kw Amarok is over a second faster and slams you in the face off the line. ZF build a better box.

I'm not surprised. The 10 speed auto of the previous gen Ranger/Everest have been quite shitty, at least in my country. Many people reported it failing while driving, showing the wrench icon and then car is like in Neutral while still in Drive, no more power from the engine.

The Aero with the tray is explained by imagining an air vortex swirling in the back of the the ute.....therefore the air coming over the roof flows over a slippery air pocket. Lowering the tailgate is essentially just adding a big wing with diwnfirce adding drag. Watch the Ute's at the drags.....

@John boy in a drag race mate, the video is a 0-100 test. And most buyers of the Ford Ranger next gen are previous owners of the Ford ranger. So it's probably the most relatible comparison to do out if any other vehicle. And it's probably the only semi official information owners of both cars can't access, as the usually sell the older model.

The bi-turbo 2.0L Ranger is just a hair slower than the 3.0L single turbo BT-50/D-Max (4JJ3-TCX engine). Hopefully the bi-turbo 2.0L doesn't cause headaches in the future. Longevity is a concern for a small displacement, twin turbo engine.
