When I bought my redline in 2017 I looked into it.. Walkinshaw started with Exhaust/Intake/Tune to that you could add cam, supercharger (with or without the cam) up to 547kw. I didnt bother a I had a workshop in mind to use that I think was better but apparently it was popular.... ANd a decent idea for someone who wants some more grunt but needs to lease/doesnt want to deal with it himself....

Remember when you could get 270-300KW new cars for $40K, now $40K buys a mid-spec Hybrid Corolla with 72KW

If not for the donut sitting next to my coffee mug I'd be sad right now. I've always wished I kept my G6ET..and also wondered what was it's real stock power output...anyone know if was slightly more than 270kW?

Ford needs to allow V6 petrol and V8 petrol engines as an optional extra across the range. This will allow for full 3500kg towing capacity and payloads. Imagine getting a XL single cab ranger with a 5.0 coyote V8 !

2.3L Ecoboost and 7.3L Godzilla would be more appropriate for the type of vehicle rather than Coyote IMO

I'd be more worried about a robbery occurring 10mins after the guy left.

I would be sprinting to my dealer and throwing money at the salesman if Ford made that available. Hell, I'd be happy with something other than an asthmatic diesel engine, 2.0 or 2.3 EcoBoost 4, a 2.7 EcoBoost V6. Don't care which, but I'm over diesel.

Considering the 2.7 V6 EcoBoost is already used in the T6 platform (Bronco), adding it to the range in theory would be simple. Offer it as direct equivalent to the diesel V6 in price and spec. Considering Ford is production limited with the 3.0 V6 diesel, it could be a good move to offer the petrol V6 to lighten the load. Or even the just the 2.3 EcoBoost.

I think they’ll now make as many as needed for Australia…. the 2.0 diesel is not a big seller these days, Aussie buyers have spoken |

![]() ![]() They were 'go fast' versions of the F150 and C/K1500 (Silverado), slow by todays standards but the first of their kind ![]() I love that era American ute, they look like they were designed with a 15cm ruler and a crayon on a napkin, big, square and basic, plastic as far as the eye can see and an engine bay you could fit four families of Ethiopians in. 351 Wheezer or 454 depending on your brand of choice. Povvo pack Ranger, 4x2, tub or tray back, 2.3L Ecoboost 4 cylinder, some bigger wheels with HT tyres or Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV as the factory fitment. Circa 230KW/450NM thing would haul ***. |

![]() Single cab, 4x2 and go some nice 17" wheels, 235/65R17 108W Michelin Pilot Sport 4 SUV as the factory fitment for rubber, lower it a bit and give it some nice street presence. Can be specced up with tub or tray. Still keep the leaf springs because parts bin special Franco job, make it out of everything available in the current Ranger from global parts bin. Absolute weapon designed for backwards baseball cap wearing, monobrow sporting degenerates in hi-vis clothing with speed dealer shades, with the matching mullet thats made the comeback from the dead for some reason - the workin' mans supercar. Of course I'd love to do a 7.3L Godzilla version but you know, all the engineering team at Ford Australia got the *** last year so parts bin sales team job it is ![]() Last edited by Franco Cozzo; 29-01-2024 at 09:51 PM. |

VW are doing 2L (single) turbo 4wd Amoraks for $55k which isn't bad.
