My Aussie Ranger is a 3.2 litre 5 cylinder Ford Duratorque diesel mated to the 6R80 six speed auto and 4x4 . It is conservatively rated to 148 Kw (198 Hp) and 470 Nm (350 FP) of torque.
Almost all those FP's are available just off idle, through to about 3,000 rpm.
I generally get on average ~10 litres per 100 Km or in your money about 24mpg +/- about 10%
It's a very smooth diesel that's very quiet on the highway, but a bit rattly at idle.
It doesn't even notice our Jayco camper or in fact most things I tow with it. Also runs well up the beach for beach front camping.
You can also get the 2.2 diesel here which is basically the same as the 3.2 but missing a cylinder, and the 2.0 bi turbo which has only been out here for 6 months or so. A 2.4 litre petrol engine was available for a while but was no match for the diesels and was dropped a few years ago.
