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.


Well, a small diesel would be easy enough to source, but I don't think
a 2.0 liter engine will hack it, especially since the Chevy Colorado's
diesel is 2.8 liters.


It's not all about displacement.
