LIINK https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...&v=td7rcVBgiBQ Base tune at the rear wheels: 250 hp (186 Kw) and 280 lb ft (378 nm) New Tune at the rear wheels: 330 hp (246 Kw) and 380 lb ft (513 nm) Not bad for a drive in, drive out tune that's fully EPA compliant. That tune at the rear wheels is what a 2.7 V6 EB puts out at the flywheel... Last edited by jpd80; 03-03-2019 at 10:36 AM. |

This is bloody comical, Motor Trend in the USA has teed off at Ford for calling the Ranger "all new" when in fact, "it's just a hack" - their words to describe the the Ecoboost 2.3 /10AT and chassis upgrades. Quote:
....meanwhile on the other side of the planet, not a mouse was stirring in dieselville.. Some buyers here would kill to buy an Ecoboost Ranger and then fo off and get such a huge power upgrade as a drive in drive out deal....Only in America. Last edited by jpd80; 03-03-2019 at 05:57 PM. |

The US Ranger is selling ridiculously well for an "old dog".
http://www.thedrive.com/news/26273/f...at-wayne-plant The new 2019 Ford Ranger is hitting dealerships now, and demand for the truck is high. It's so high, in fact, that Ford is ordering overtime at the Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne to help meet that demand. Speaking with reporters Wednesday, Kumar Galhorta, president of Ford North America said that starting in February the plant "will be going into massive overtime." This is based on strong initial demand and people who have expressed interest in purchasing one at a dealership. |

USA Ranger sales for February was 2,899, early product mix is heavily skewed
to crewcab Lariat (Wildtrak) until they get up to speed, Ford always does that. |

During the complete 2018 calendar year, Chevrolet Colorado sales increased about 19 percent to 134,842 units. Or over 11000/month on average.
If I'm not mistaken, Tacoma sales were almost double that. |

Colorado...........9,787 Canyon.............2,143 Tacoma...........18,533 There's still not much inventory to speak of, I think buyers are waiting for Ford to hit the go button with XLT and XL. Quote:

Off topic here,
I’m not in the market but I was curious as to the price of second hand EN mustangs. Earlier models many of which have really low KM’s can be bad for around $30k (possibly under). Throw in one of these tunes and you have a really nice daily driver. Good looks, handling, and economy for not much more than Corolla money. |

2.3EB the next SR20
![]() Interesting the 2.0EB is a closed deck block and the 2.3EB is open deck. Has anyone found the limitations of either block? Also has anyone worked out how to keep fuel up out of the high pressure fuel pump required for it's direct injection system yet? With 2.0EB it seems the high pressure fuel pump starts running out of flow at circa 350hp/wheels and you need to use auxiliary port injection fuel systems to supply the extra fuel required at those power levels. |

The Ranger already sells well but a EB6 and a V8 option would go well here I reckon.

Maybe we need to start looking at what’s possible in that direction. Ram 1500 points the way, imagine if ford did a factory RHD 150....... |

There are a suprising number of differences. With the yanks building it there they could change whatever they wanted to, within cost effectiveness.

Interesting , have you got the intel on this ? Only way I could stomach driving a ranger is the USDM drivetrain and upgrades
