The company Ford announced the decision to equip its compact pickup Ford Ranger Raptor with a new power unit. Designers plan to place under the hood 2-liter bi-turbo diesel, which will give out up to 200 horsepower. A pair of it will be a 10-step "automatic". According to a source close to the company's management, previously planned to equip the car with a 2.7-liter V6 petrol unit in 325 "horses", however, the economy and lightness of the diesel have played a role and have abandoned the idea.
Recall, now the American hides under the hood more heavy and less powerful 3.2-liter engine V5.
Also "pumped" Ford Ranger Raptor will acquire a modernized suspension with special settings. Also the stability and controllability of the car will be added by wide tires and a revised braking system. Under the engine will place advanced protection.
