Well then, why doesn't Ford offer it? Do they think we're addicted to low loooow redlines, fuel that's extortionately expensive and powerbands thinner than J.Lo's waist?

Scroll up. Was discussed earlier.

Btw, I agree with you. Wish we had it in the Ford lineup

I think it's just vicious cycle of they only offer diesel engines in our market so Australia only buys diesel engines and so they only offer diesel engines.

USDM Ranger has no diesel, only Ecoboost.

The only unleaded competitors are the Hilux Workmate and the VW Amaranger but only at top spec.

I’ve been watching developments with the new Tacoma in the US, that thing
has a 2.7 turbo hybrid petrol engine with 326 hp and 465 lb ft of torque
To me, that sorta looks like the replacement for a V6 turbo diesel.
