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

It does look similar to the F-150. In some ways a mini version of the bigger truck.

I don't have any engine or transmission information yet. If I get some I will post here. If I were to guess possibly the 2.7 Ecoboost currently in the 150 a 4 cylinder turbo-charged engine. Possibly the 2.0 turbo or the 3.6 V-6. These are current Ford engines. Then again they could possibly come out with something new just for the Ranger.

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

The old Ranger is still made for markets outside of the USA and Canada
and a small diesel is used in them. Probably doesn't meet emissions for
use here though.

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.

That Ford 2.7 is a six.

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

The formatting makes it difficult to line up (on my screen anyway) but
for a truck I am most interested in the torque ratings. Why is the 3.5L
EcoBoost V6 listed twice?
