Adding to the range of models available for the class-defining all-new Ford Ranger pickup will be the 2.5L petrol variant.
With a Duratec 2.5L Ti-VCT petrol engine that delivers class-leading 166HP and 226Nm torque, the all-new Ford Ranger petrol uses independent variable cam technology for enhanced performance and fuel economy.
