Killer walk through. Just picked up a 2020 XLT 3.0 4wd screw 6.5 bed. K&N drop in filter + afe intake tube = 32mpg @ 65mph. Rear locking diff is awesome with this diesel. Crawls through stupid stuff easily. Awesome truck. Too bad it’s discontinued.
After it was fettled by the engineers to suit the F-150, e.g. bigger sump, different intake manifold design, forged crankshaft instead of cast, different materials for the big end bearing shells. Those are the big changes that I am aware of, which distinguish this motor from the ones supplied to Land Rover.
It has definitely made it to the Australian Ford Ranger (and Everest) in 2022! But not sure about other markets in Asia. It did not make it to the Philippines, unfortunately. And I very much doubt Ford Malaysia will be able to sell any 3.0 Rangers, due to the exhorbitant road taxes which penalise large engine capacities.
@@tempestv8 you know what. I perfer the Ecoboost instead of that 3.0 power stroke. The belt for the high-pressure fuel pump is at the back of the engine that requires taking the engine out or the body out. And it is a rubber timing belt. The 3.0 Ecoboost is a dual injection has port and direct injection. No problems for the carbon. Sounds good too. But expect that engine to be a gashog.
@@tempestv8 and another thing... This power stroke 3.0 is from the land rover that ford produced. That engine is has a very serious problem overtime. Its crank shaft tends to break in half. I hope ford solved that issue.
@@projectyuma7456 The Ranger Raptor for Australia will come with the 3.5 litre V6 petrol engine. As for the V6 diesel, apparently the crankshaft is now forged, so it should be a lot stronger than the previous cast unit. And the bearings are now a different material, at least this is for the F-150. Hopefully the same improvements make it to all the V6 Ford Rangers. So far the 2.7 TDV6 engines in the Ford Territory have not had these crankshaft failures, so this is quite promising.
Press cars get beat on quite a bit and this one had some miles on it. I suspect it was the victim of a northern winter with little undercarriage washing.
Thanks, nice tour of my truck! 22,000 miles and still at 25+ MPG. 😋
I'm looking at buying one this April, is yours 4X4? I'm interested in knowing how that may impact MPG
Yes 4x4 I live in the Pittsburgh PA area. Lots of mountain driving, towing, and daily driver.
@@BBTrailComs Cool thanks!
@Edysin Simon How long is that, and why?
@Edysin Simon Yeah, just like any other engine with a timing belt
Love my 2WD 2019 Lariat Sport!! Amazing fuel mileage!!
3.000 miles 26 mpg hand calculated, 4x4 XLT Chrome package.
Not bad for a half ton.

Does it have the equivalent of a pcv valve. And does it need a catch can?
did u figure out
I see a diet in that trucks future. I damn sure wouldn't leave all that sound deadening under the truck.
Has anyone tried hydrogen on demand on the 3.0?
They call this old land rover engine a Powerstroke?
Pretty much.

Hope that engine can make it to the ranger in asia.

What mods would you recommend for this engine? Any specific tunes in mind?
I am just now with 38,000 miles considering a tune. I haven't picked one yet.
I’m disappointed in the amount of corrosion underneath. Sure seems likeFord could have done a better job.

SVTPerformance that’s a good point. Hopefully down here in Texas the underbelly will hold up better.
Thats just surface rust. Ive seen worse.
It all looks very old under there
Sir. Us Ford people don't use silly words like "corporate." LOL
made in 2019 with even more plastic shitty bits & costs more too. win/win? NOT.
