After months of waiting, the 2024 Ford Ranger finally has a new engine. Now it packs a little more muscle to offer buyers an extra option. Let’s see how it compares to the entry-level engine and the Raptor model.

Ford's mid-size pickup truck has never been better than when it comes with a turbocharged 2.7-liter six. The global-market Ford Ranger received a major update back in 2022 but didn't get launched here in the U.

The mid-size Ranger pickup's optional 315-hp twin-turbo V-6 makes it nearly as quick to 60 mph as the 405-hp Raptor.

V-6 brings the power; Comfortable interior; Excellent towing tech; Cons. V-6 not available with 2WD or base trim; Limited cab and bed configurations; No second-row HVAC vent
