I was really curious what would feed the demand for this innovation and I see Ford stopped making heavy trucks in Latin America in 2019 : https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/19/ford-will-stop-selling-commercial-trucks-in-south-america.html

Worry? Never.
It does sound like the transmission on your truck is slipping, though, which is not normal on the 4x4 or any Ranger for that matter. I'd take it in ASAP but call the selling dealer to find out if they want you to take it to them or a Ford dealership.
