Default Re: Ranger V6 argument

They should have put the petrol Barra in the PX series of Rangers. Even at the time of development, diesel was considered dead in other markets. The V6 NA petrol hilux was a weapon (that not even talking about the supercharged version) and very underrated. A Barra powered PX would have been an icon.

nope. it's much, much too long. There was a plan to put a V6 petrol into PX1 but that got pulled pretty quickly. your comment about diesel is just about 100% wrong.

I know she's wrong, but I need something to prove it unequivocally.
Ive shown her a few online articles but she still doesn't believe it.

She claims she went to a Ford dealership conference where a VW executive said the engine was theirs.
Ask her which V6 she is talking about?
The RA Ranger uses two different V6 Engines.
