Not a lot of new news but it's looking like the 2.3 will be the engine here in the states. The Ranger Raptor will be getting the 3.0 V6 and should follow the same specs as the Bronco Raptor with 418 HP/440 TQ. The good news the Aussie Ranger has aced safety testing and has a 5 star rating from the New Car Assessment Program. Production is still expected to start in May of this year.

In terms of styling, the U.S.-spec pickup will largely mimic the mid-sizer that’s already launched in other parts of the world, with a new, edgier design and familiar C-clamp headlights.
The same goes for inside the cabin, where the next-gen Ranger features a standard 10.1-inch or optional 12-inch infotainment screen, Sync 4 (rather than Sync 3, as is the case with the current model), and a digital instrument cluster in other parts of the world, also ditching its traditional owner’s manual for a digital version. The new Ranger continues to ride on the Ford T6 platform shared with the sixth-generation Ford Bronco – though it has received some updates. It’s unclear what engines might be available in the 2024 Ford Ranger at this time, but it’s likely that the new pickup will retain the turbocharged Ford 2.3L I-4 EcoBoost as its base powerplant.
Meanwhile, the high-performance Ford Ranger Raptor will also be making its debut in the U.S. this year as well, most likely getting the more powerful Australian version of the twin-turbocharged Ford 3.0L V6 EcoBoost engine, which produces 392 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque, while the European variant makes substantially less – 284 horsepower and 362 pound-feet. It’s also possible that the American Ranger Raptor may wind up with a version of that same engine that’s closer to the 418 horsepower and 440 pound-feet generated in the Ford Bronco Raptor, too.

Don't mind me I was multi-tasking and read your previous post wrong. I took it as the standard Euro engine was 100 HP more than ours.
