I didn't like it when Ford started putting small displacement turbocharged engines in all their vehicles. Then, all the other car manufacturers copied what Ford was doing several years ago. Now that everyone else switched to small displacement turbocharged engines, Ford is now changing direction again and adding a turbocharged 6-cylinder. I prefer a naturally aspirated engine, but I appreciate what Ford is doing. In a mid-sized truck that weighs over 5,000 lbs, a small 4-cylinder turbocharged engine has to work hard when it's empty and needs boost (which destroys fuel economy) to move that much weight. The 1st Gen Tundra was the size of a modern Tacoma but the Tundra had a V8 and a wider cab with more rear legroom. When Mercedes teamed up with Nissan to build the Mercedes X-Class truck it had a body by Mercedes on a Navara chassis with a 6 cylinder engine. GM put a 5.3L V8 in some of the First Generation Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon trucks. John at LHT Performance in Florida put a naturally aspirated V8 from a 2020 Silverado into a 2020 Colorado, and the motor doesn't work hard, so he gets 28-30 MPG on the highway. Mid-sized trucks need a 6 or 8 cylinder engine to move the weight of the truck and use it to tow and haul cargo.

Where I live in Alberta, Canada, I still see Dodge Dakota trucks on the road. Even though they are old and a little beat up, the owner's love those small trucks. After the success of the Maverick, I thought Stellantis would bring back the Dakota as an affordable truck for the laborers and tradesmen who have been loyal Dodge owners for decades. Instead, they decided to turn Dodge into a luxury brand like Land Rover.

The 2.7L is the best ecoboost engine Ford makes. It may not make the most power, but it's efficient and rock solid. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the one big problem the 2.7L had with its intake valve stems fracturing, which was remedied a couple years ago. New engines do not suffer from that problem. For those who have 2.7L ecoboost engines manufactured from 2021-2022, there is a recall for them. The thing to note about the intake valve problem is that it wasn't a design problem with the engine, it was a manufacturing problem with the valves.

I don't know why they went with a belt instead of a chain, but it's probably the one thing I'd change out of an abundance of caution. That said, premature degradation of a wet belt usually only occurs if you have other problems with your engine such that the oil is being contaminated. It's the contaminates that lead to wet belts degrading faster than expected. If you take proper care of your engine, stick to the recommended maintenance cycles, and use good oil and filters, you're not likely to have a problem.

The 2.7 and the 5.0 are the 2 best engines in the F-150. The 3.5L is the one that ends up needing new cam phasers right when your warranty runs out.

That's the exact model that Ford Australia need in their range.

I guess the fact that the Australian rangers still come with the twin turbo 2L 4cyl deisel means that Ford can't introduce this engine into the range as it'll kill the 2L deisel and they'll lose development $$

Having driven all trucks that are currently equipped with a 2.7L turbo, that's from both GM and Ford, the Ford is snappier, even if it makes less torque. I really believe the GM 2.7L makes the power GM states, but the GM engine is just lazier, like a diesel, feeling more sluggish in comparison. It doesn't exactly enjoy boosting up and reving out, it wants to just lumber along, which is fine if you like diesel-like power delivery. But the Ford 2.7L feels much like a hot rod in comparison, or at least it does in the F150. I would imagine it being the same or better in the Ranger. What's more, the GM 2.7L can really be harsh sounding. It's fine under light driving, and it even makes a nice turbo whistle, but it gets really grindy, making those typical unpleasant 4 cylinder sounds at higher RPM. The Ford 2.7L V6 is, well, a V6. It just sounds better and smoother overall.

I took delivery of my 2024 Ranger Lariat with the 2.7L V-6 in Velocity Blue 2 days ago and this has to be the best Ranger ever produced so far. Everything about this new Ranger is great. The addition of the 2.7L V-6 definitely makes for a fun drive. The 10 speed is really smooth you can barely feel it shifting. The only thing I don't like is there's no indication of what gear it's in but it's not a deal breaker I just got used to that in the F-150 I traded in on my Ranger. So far the fuel mileage numbers I'm seeing are very promising. My truck has around 200 miles on the clock and it's averaging just shy of 21 mpg with a prospected range of close to 400 miles on a tank of fuel. However these numbers might be flawed a little because this first tank I'm running on is what the dealer gave me upon delivery so I have no idea if they actually filled the tank completely and or reset the trip computer so the second tank will give more accurate numbers. However what ever the numbers end up being they'll only go up from here so again the mpg numbers so far look pretty promising especially when you compared it to the previous model Ranger. I used have a 2010 XLT extended cab 4x4 with the 4.0L V-6 and the best fuel mileage I could get was around 15-16 mpg with a max range I ever saw was 310 miles on a tank of fuel. I remember when I sold it the guy who bought it emailed me telling me how horrible the fuel mileage was and I said yes it's a 4x4 truck with a big V-6 what were you expecting, the fuel mileage of a car.

What many people don't understand, is that the government isn't requiring smaller engines. They're requiring cleaner and more efficient engines. It has little to do with mpg which is why all these small engine vehicles don't get basically the same MPG as the NA engines they are replacing. If it were an MPG requirement, every vehicle would have a diesel. A turbo increases air to help ensure complete combustion which in turn will produce more power with the same amount of fuel. The reason why they're small engines is because it's easier to accomplish this in smaller, high pressure turbo engines than large NA engines.

@AkioWasRight

MPG and emissions can be related to each other. The problem is that these smaller engines often fail to deliver real-world benefits, so they just game the EPA. Also, a larger N/A engine increases air, but it does so naturally. That's because it's a larger displacing engine. All a turbo does is force more displacement, taking the place of the physical cylinder displacement. And mind you, that doesn't necessarily reduce emissions. That can increase emissions, in fact. When you force more air into an engine, you must also increase fuel, which results in more emissions.

The Raptor’s 3.0 is the same 2.7 engine but with more stroke to get the additional 0.3 displacement.
