They've got a hybrid version and they've had the 2.3L Ecoboost version since the last model that they used for the USDM Ranger. They've already done the background work it's just not offered to us to buy.
They'd just need to change up the offering for the Australian market, no more slapping a tiny diesel engine in it and calling it a day, they need to put a bit of effort in if those laws make it through parliament.
Because they've already done the background work it's not a threat to Ford, it's just a kick in the *** that they need to do better than put all their eggs in the Ranger's tub.
