Ford Ranger V6 v 4cyl Dragparison: Drag race, sound test & 0-100!

Күн бұрын

The test you've all been waiting for! Drag racing the 2023 Ford Ranger V6 against the 2023 Ford Ranger four-cylinder. Both diesels, both weigh around the same, but big difference in drivetrains. Paul Maric also does a sound test and some 0-100km/h runs to see how much quicker the V6 is!

From my experience with the v6 engines in my Disco's do better just doing a straight launch, no holding on the breaks. I have the Ranger with the Bi-turbo and a disco with the v6, both tow the a 2.5t load well, the difference is the v6 has plenty of torque in reserve for the long hills. Let's hope Ford has sorted some reliability issues for the v6.

It sounds like a lot of people waiting for this car will be devastated to find out it's nowhere as quick as the current V6 Amarok. By all means do the test but the stats show the Amarok TDI580 at 0-100 in 7.3 Seconds. It's worth noting though that the TDI580 uses overboost to pump peak power to 200KW but can only do this for 10 seconds. So in reality it's not 200KW in the purist form but for overtaking and 0-100 sprints comes in handy. The current Amarok V6 is a highly under rated car. On road it drives so much better than anything else on the market today and we spend most of out time on road.
