The Ranger is launching with a lineup of four engines including a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder, two four-cylinder turbodiesels and a turbodiesel V6. A high performance Raptor version will be added to the lineup at a later date. No hybrid or electric powertrains were announced, but Ford said the vehicle is future-proofed for “other propulsion technologies.”

As with the previous generation, the global Ranger will spawn a model that looks mostly the same and is engineered specifically for the U.S. market, although Ford hasn’t yet confirmed any details, including when it will go on sale. The last time around, the Ranger launched globally in 2012 and didn’t make it to the U.S. until 2019, but this new one is expected to arrive as soon as 2023.
