From what I've heard most manufacturers are designing smaller capacity engines with better components running higher boost and higher compression. All while achieving the market average power and torque figures. This enables better fuel economy and meeting pollution regs easier. I'm thinking the 10 speed gearbox will keep the Ranger very much in the sweet spot of 500nm and might surprise a few people on how well it goes and tows. A V6 TD would have been so much better though in my opinion. 500nm is so last week. haha

I'll add myself to the camp that looks down at small capacity diesel engines, in moderate heavy typically commercial vehicles. Every one of them I have driven has been peaky in torque, doesn't have a smooth torque power delivery and therefore are b&(tches to drive. Add to the fact they are revving higher than what a larger diesel counterpart would to the same amount of work and therefor on that alone will wear far quicker, than what typically you would expect with a diesel engine.
Don't get me wrong in a hatchback or sedan etc, small capacity diesel dependent on your driving requirements are splendid and usually well matched.NS SWB X 3.2DiD - Factory locker, Hella spotties, GME UHF, 2" lift

It just makes me shake my head..$80k for a 4wd Ute that has a bit of “ go gear” cabin bling, suspension and a few body stickers.
A 10 speed auto..I hope it’s better than the unit they got in them now and run a lot cooler.
Then again..more electronic gremlins...
There will blokes itching to get their hand on them..a couple of percent of these Raptor Thingies may see a gravel road in its lifetime.
One or two may brave a Decent 4wd journey..
Still if I had 80k..a last model run out of a Falcon V8 ute or a HSV Maloo would be a better deal..at least.
I saw 1968 model GT Cortina with a Cosworth twin cam for 70k..

It's not just a Ranger with stickers, probably more compared to the Gen 2 Evo, with a bit less bang.
With the new ute racing series starting they probably have to sell so many to qualify for entry to the class, and the class probably has engine restrictions hence the 2.0 litre. For an even race class they can't let the manufacturers go hell for leather or we'll have the fuel crisis situation all over again like the seventies.99 NL Exceed with air in tyres
