ford ranger seen for the first time
The Ford Ranger is the smallest pickup truck in the manufacturer's lineup. It also shares underpinnings with the Endeavor SUV. It is not yet clear what Everest and Ranger are doing in Chennai. However, interestingly, the Ford India plant is on the outskirts of Chennai, so it is likely that both the vehicles will be headed to the plant.
Popular in global market
This pick-up truck of the company is very popular in the global market but generally people choose it as a secondary vehicle. There are some small pick-up trucks in the global market like the Volkswagen Amarok and Ford Ranger and now Kia has announced that it is also bringing a pick-up truck soon. In such a situation, if it is launched in the Indian market then it is going to get a better response.
Variants and engines
Ford Ranger has been introduced in the global market with three engine options. There is a 2.3-litre EcoBoost, 2.7-litre EcoBoost and 3.0-litre EcoBoost. The 2.3-litre unit produces 266 bhp of maximum power and 420 Nm of peak torque. Then there is the 3.0-litre unit, which is rated for 399 bhp and 583 Nm. Ford offers the Ranger in four models – XL, XLT, Lariat and Raptor.
