Like the Maverick hybrid they will probably use an Atkinson motor. The eCVT is a simplified transmission. Not to be confused with previous rubber band type CVTs. The big question is if it will be offered in AWD? The Maverick hybrid is only offered in FWD.It's official the Ranger will get a PHEV next year! No waiting until 2025 like Ford originally said which will be great. While I love my new Tremor I'm really interested to see this new PHEV Ranger. I wouldn't buy the first year but by the second or even third I might be ready for one depending on the distance.

No, it will be the same 2.3 Ecoboost we currently know and love. It won't be a CVT, instead it will be the same hybrid system that is in the F-150 Powerboost and the Explorer hybrid.

Yeah ok, ecoboost makes no sense for hybrid unless you have a dual transmission which they don’t… can you explain why or how ecoboost makes sense?No, it will be the same 2.3 Ecoboost we currently know and love.

I read the link but it’s for RWD, will there be a 4WD or AWD is the question.Yeah ok, ecoboost makes no sense for hybrid unless you have a dual transmission which they don’t… can you explain why or how ecoboost makes sense?
It seems to me there are two approaches to a hybrid power train. First you can use it to boost an otherwise anemic ICE engine in such a way that acceleration is tolerable or even good, an examples of this is the Maverick and there's absolutely nothing wrong with this approach. The other is to prevent you from even using a powerful ICE engine during the times that it's the least efficient, an example of this is the F-150 Powerboost that uses the 3.5 twin turbo. It will be a little interesting to see which approach Ford takes with the Ranger but my bet is on the latter since I'm not aware of a front engine-rear drive power train used by Ford in NA less powerful than the 2.3 Ecoboost.Yeah ok, ecoboost makes no sense for hybrid unless you have a dual transmission which they don’t… can you explain why or how ecoboost makes sense?
Are you saying twin turbo or twin scroll turbo? Big difference…It seems to me there are two approaches to a hybrid power train.

I believe it means rear wheel drive longitudinally mounted ICE as opposed to a front wheel drive transversely mounted ICE.I read the link but it’s for RWD, will there be a 4WD or AWD is the question.
What do you mean by dual transmission?Yeah ok, ecoboost makes no sense for hybrid unless you have a dual transmission which they don’t… can you explain why or how ecoboost makes sense?
you already forgot about the Bronco roll out?It's official the Ranger will get a PHEV next year! No waiting until 2025 like Ford originally said which will be great.
