Ford Ranger Engine

A Ford Ranger engine is renowned for its superior durability and reliability.

Both petrol and diesel engines are available on our website. Your choice between the two Ford Ranger engine types should depend on factors like fuel efficiency and maintenance requirements.

Petrol Ranger Engines

A petrol Ford Ranger engine is relatively easy to understand. A high-pressure fuel injection system delivers fuel into the engine's cylinders to atomise the fuel into a fine mist. The cylinders hold a mixture of fuel and air, which is compressed and ignited by a spark plug, causing the combustion of fuel and the rotation of the engine.

The following are petrol engines used in Ford Rangers:

• 2.3 L EcoBoost Turbo: This Ford Ranger engine is relatively new, but it is already showing its reliability. It is equipped with a twin-scroll turbocharger, which enables it to perform remarkably well for its size. Moreover, this four-cylinder engine has not exhibited major faults to date. It comes with a ten-speed automatic transmission and produces a peak of 270 HP and 310 lb-ft of torque. This engine is also used in the Ford Mustang and the Ford Explorer.
• 2.5 L Duratec 25: This engine was developed in collaboration with Mazda and is based on the renowned Mazda L5. Although it cannot match the power and torque of the more advanced 2.3 L EcoBoost Turbo, its reliability is well-established. It may not be suitable for those who want to push their trucks to the limit, but it’s an excellent option for those who just want something dependable and fuel-efficient. It produces up to 164 HP and 167 lb-ft of torque and comes with a five-speed manual transmission.

Diesel Ranger Engines

A diesel engine works similar to a petrol engine, but it utilises a compression-ignited injection system instead of a spark-ignited injection system. Fuel is injected directly into the cylinders and is ignited by the high temperatures generated when the piston compresses. Moreover, a diesel engine generally has more torque than petrol alternatives, making it ideal for towing and carrying heavy loads.

The following are diesel engines used in Ford Rangers:

• 2.0 L EcoBlue Turbo: This Ford Ranger engine delivers incredible torque despite its relatively small displacement. It has a four-cylinder design packed with advanced features like an integrated intake system, a low-friction turbocharger, and a high-pressure fuel injection system. These features work together to minimise noise and emissions without compromising performance. This engine comes with a ten-speed automatic transmission and can deliver up to 178 HP and 310 lb-ft of torque.
• 2.0 L EcoBlue Twin-Turbo: This engine has a similar architecture to the 2.0 EcoBlue Turbo, but it has two turbo-boosters that work independently to enhance performance and improve fuel efficiency. It is capable of delivering up to 210 HP and 370 lb-ft of torque.
• 2.2 L Duratorq Turbo: This engine is equipped with a six-speed manual or automatic transmission that lets you take on any terrain. The automatic variant features adaptive modes, such as economy, performance, and towing. In addition, it is designed for optimal fuel efficiency, utilising precise piezo injectors to ensure a clean and complete combustion process. On the downside, this engine is considerably weaker than its counterparts, with a peak of 150 HP and 300 lb-ft of torque.
• 3.2 L Duratorq Turbo: This five-cylinder Ford Ranger engine is the oldest option available, but it remains a favourite among truck enthusiasts because of its character and performance. It is tuned for maximum power and torque. In comparison to newer alternatives, it is significantly louder, which is what some drivers prefer. You can choose between a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. This engine is capable of delivering up to 197 HP and 350 lb-ft of torque.

How to choose the right engine for my Ford Ranger?

You should first consider compatibility when choosing a Ford Ranger engine. You do not want to order an entire engine assembly online just to discover that it is incompatible with your vehicle. You can check your truck’s window sticker to find its engine specifications. Alternatively, you can look it up online.

How long do these engines last?

It is known that Ford Rangers can last for up to 300,000 miles when properly maintained. Just make sure to have yours regularly inspected and serviced. You should also follow these basic steps to extend your truck’s service life:

• Clean your vehicle routinely to fend off foreign materials that can cause rusting.
• Make sure your garage can protect your truck from outside elements, especially during the winter.
• Check and refill engine and transmission fluids periodically.
• Rotate the tyres every month or so and keep them inflated.
• Avoid stomping on the brakes to prevent the pads from overheating. 
• You should have a defective part repaired immediately to prevent further damage to your truck.
