New Ranger teaser vidz

[jpd80]

The war is over, Ford has relented and given Aussie buyers a smooth V6, people reserving without knowing price….

and if you really want to jack up sales, just rename the NG Everest Territory and watch them line up….

Yes and no, in one sense the war has just reached an even playing field where the option of a bigger capacity engine with the better auto is obliterating the little engine that could.

Will be bargains to be had on run out PX3 now, at least people still bought the old 3.2 after the 2.0l arrived, no one wants a 2.0l now, trade ins pricing will create some angst.

I meant Ford’s narrative that buyers dwell on cylinder count and more capacity than needed,
all of that now forcing a change of heart at Ford, recognising that buyers love smoothness of a six cylinder.

A slightly different view of the twin scroll 2.0, it still has a place in the line up but I suspect that
the new single scroll 2.0 will be silently dropped due to few takers, TS 2.0 becoming pseudo base engine.

If Ford manages the changeover properly, discounted run out Rangers will be few, maybe loaded XLT special.
The 2.0 will be fine, it’s fuel efficient and an honest performer, people actually like them Bent.

They could always give a few away as replacements under warranty to clear the lots.

Liked, in the absence of anything better you would like it but the article suggests that may not be the case moving forward.

Please stop arguing simply for the sake of it.

Perhaps have a read here.

Ford have said they wont be discounting PX3 and have set production up to limit any left over stock.

Thank you and from what I understand, a lot of the Ranger stock that arrives in Australia
is already sold and until recently, Ford was scratching to get enough production to cover
orders. So this idea of excess inventory laying around is not an issue and won’t be.

And the price rise on new Ranger will probably make PX3 look like a discount anyway.

These small motors are fine with multi speed autos behind them but where there achilles heel is if you prefer a manual and you get caught in the wrong gear or you want to shoot a gap quickly .....there aint nothing happening under 1500rpm and they stall real easy

Theres no replacement for displacement

Having driven a Bi-Turbo XLT at work a fair bit recently it’s an excellent car, the. A10 is good but not flawless, if you catch it in the wrong gear (which seems like a ridiculous concept given how many there are!) and don’t give it enough throttle to drop down it reminds you that it’s a small capacity engine pretty quickly.

I’ve not driven a 3.2 so can’t really give a fair comparison in that respect.

All power to those that want the 2L it’s a good thing, my neighbour just bought one in a Wildtrak and it will do everything he wants of it with ease.
