All modern diesels are ****, they are not built to last and requiring them meet Euro emission standards has strangled them. I have no real issue with the injection side of modern diesels (other than getting too small for the weight they have to shift) but I have a real issue with the exhaust side, they have strangled them almost to death
A lot of Rangers/BT50's are purchased in Australia due to their "3.5t" towing capacity, so making the engines smaller makes no sense what so ever I believe they are going to the 2.0tt due to it being a 'world platform' so it makes sense to have an engine that is 'world platform' If they think that the 2.00tt will sell in America (and yes they are for sale in the USA) then they need to seriously think again. WHY would you buy a 2.0tt Ranger instead of a F250 with a 7litre engine? Ford are not being fair dinkum here. America is one of the biggest auto markets, so going small there is just plain dumb
