Ford Rethinking it's Hybrid Effort According to CFOAgree, my Ranger also had 2.3L, in my model year rated right around 100 HP, and that was plenty for my needs. I was able to tow 5X8 fully-loaded U-Haul trailers with ease in my area that is predominantly flat. I have no doubt a 2.5L Atkinson aided by 100 HP electric motor would also meet practically all my needs.
My comment above came in different context, as a follow up on others questioning naturally-aspirated engines would not allow Ranger to tow as much (I think maximum now +/- 7,500 pounds). I'm fairly certain 2.5L Atkinson would fall far short of that.
That's not to say a larger NA V6 like one used in base Transit, if it fit, would probably give a Ranger all the towing capacity anyone would need for that size truck.Sat, 06 Jan 2024 01:58:31 +0000
