Hello all,

Saw this on ranger forums Facebook. What do you think. Real or phooey? 4cyl diesel huh…

Warm regards,

Maybe this is a dumb question, but what makes you think it's a diesel?

Looks like a ROW imported Ranger.

It does appear to have manufacture plates on it so I could easily believe it's some sort of test mule but I'm not sure why it would so loudly declare that it's a Raptor in that case.

So it's slow and uses expensive diesel...

80hp, 350 torque?

80hp, 350 torque?

Yes but think of the MPG!

 

[outdoorphotog]

Yes but think of the MPG!

I am curious about that now

Diesel too expensive for usa market. Regen, pollution, too many regs. Like the v8, becoming the dodo bird. So if you want diesel, imoort the car. Or buy hd

Based of the Michigan plates I wonder if this is the same one I see from time to time parked at nearby ford facility, even once in my neighbors driveway, I live near Dearborn so I seen a lot

I’ll be sticking with the current gas ranger. I think the diesel raptor would be faster if completely modded out compared to us completely modded out.. 211 hp 370 tq + 30% from chip = 274 hp 480 tq + throw some other performance mods they would be close to 300 + hp and 500+ torque. Rare to see something that modded though. Only way we would match up is with an E85 tune + HPFP and CRP turbo. I think we would lose a 0-60 but destroy in a 1/4 mile if we had the top end extreme mods.

I’ll buy the graphics though, OEM or knock off. I like it

Looks like mine, with the fugly graphics I skipped ?

For those wondering about fuel economy, I average about 10-10.5 L/100km around town (about 22 US MPG) and 8.5-9 L/100km on the highway (about 27.5 US MPG) when cruising at 100-110 km/h, that's stock with the BFG 33" K02s. I don't drive it all that hard though hahaha. Also in Australia, light commercial vehicles have less stingent emissions than you guys in the States do, we only have the DPF on these things. No DEF/AdBlue.

I'm going with real based on the fact that it's got manufacturer plates on it.
