The next Ford Ranger.

From the rear it looks similar to the current F-150 but maybe a bit
smaller. Any news of it's powertrain yet?

Probably not much more than the 2.7L EcoBoost. I doubt it will see the
3.5L.

To compete with Toyota and Chevy, the new Ranger likely will be
available with a four banger of about 2.5 liters, and a V6 of about 3.5
liters.

I'd love to see a small 2 liter (or thereabouts) turbo diesel developed
for it.
As weird as the "truck" business is these days they might make one
with the Coyote 5.0 LTi-VCT V8 in it.
I don't know how well this will format but the numbers on the HO 3.5L
EcoBoost are far better than the 5.0. Very unexpected.
