Back in Canada after an eight-year absence, the new Ranger's 2.3-litre four-cylinder turbo incorporates a crankshaft and forged connecting rods to make it sturdier for light-duty applications. Teamed up with a 10-speed automatic gearbox and all-wheel drive, this engine generates 270 horsepower and 310 lb.-ft. of torque. The Ranger has a towing capacity of nearly 3041 kilos (7500 pounds).
