What engines do you guys think they will put in ford's version and the rebadged VW version?
Will they both get the more powerful VW 200kw 3L V6? Or because Ford's in charge of making it they'll use the bi-turbo? Or will they have different motors VW = V6, and Ford +bi-turbo or something else? (note 5cyl 3.2 is being phased out) Also do you think they'll run the great 8 speed ZF auto, or stick with fords "busy" 10 speed? |

If I was to have a guess
2.0 EB 3.0 V6 Powerstroke 2.7 EB or 3.0 EB For Raptor and USA. The 10R is not a busy gearbox, it picks and skips gear shifts depending on load. Never going back to ZF, the whole idea was to move a big chunk of cost in house. And on that note, Transit Custom will probably get 8-speed auto option. Eitherway, scuttlebutt was that VW was blown away with what Ford was planning with commercials, it was more than they expected and exactly what they wanted...

Eg: Transit Custom Double-cab-in Van (Crewvan) Kombi Version Hybrid model undergoing testing as I type 125kW version (for Custom) Sport Model Have a look at the Ford UK Transit Custom brochure, its 12 pages long with 10 pages being spec/options lists. If they can switch to the 8-speed auto as found in the Focus/Edge/Endura and use the rotary dial as the selector, it creates even more dash space and better front cabin middle passenger knee room or general walk through space etc. https://www.ford.co.uk/content/dam/g...Custom_new.pdf |

The 8-speed fits where the 6-speed goes now, it’s just forward evolution of the JV box.

Sorry, I meant the actual gear selector and surrounding dash trim vs rotary dial , the latter can create more knee room to the middle passenger position or offer the chance to add more storage.

The US ranger uses the 2.3EB from what I can tell with 200kw and 420nm - Wouldn't this 2.3EB be a better option? The larger 3L V6 powerstroke, 2.7EB or 3.0EB look even better options (ie. feel like plenty of power/torque rather than just enough) for the ranger. Guessing tightening emissions may limit what they adopt in our new ranger though. I'm just wondering how much torque is the 2.0EB capable of? And how does this engine compare with the current 2.0L biturbo which isn't much of a power/torque upgrade from the 3.2 5cyl? Last edited by Wetaline2; 23-01-2019 at 11:31 AM. |

If the F series is going Electric - perhaps electric/hybrid is the plan for the ranger that VW loved. my dad used to say - "Max torque in an electric motor is at stall"

He meant no sign of a production version.

Quality is an area that the partnership may improve on. Not to say that the current Amarok is perfection either. Both companies have acess to bigger 6 cylinder powerplants. After owning a bi-turbo diesel, ZF trans Amarok for three years and then driving a V6 Amarok on a few occasions; I can say with confidence it really reminds me of the age old saying: "there's no substitute for cubes". As others have eluded, this is a cost efficiency exercise for at least one of the two involved. I'm looking forward to the outcome... should be a good product. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk |
