Better low rpm performance than direct injection. Cools the air prior to the combustion chamber creating a more dense mixture making it more efficient at low speeds. Direct injection at low speeds can add to the problem of oil/fuel dilution in the crankcase if run for short periods of time...
I have had two dealerships tell me that the 2024 Ranger will have dual injection. They acknowledge that the online media states it is direct injection only but according to their service reps and technicians reference manuals, they say that is has direct and port injection. I guess time will tell.
