Ford has announced updates to its pickup truck engine lineups and highlighted performance capabilities within its Raptor series. For the 2027 model year, the F-150 will transition to a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 as its standard engine, replacing the previous 2.7-liter unit. Ford is also expanding the availability of its 5.0-liter V8 engine to the King Ranch and Platinum trims. Regarding off-road performance, the Raptor lineup continues to serve as a platform for customization and testing. Recent developments include the use of 37-inch Yokohama GEOLANDAR X-AT G016 tires on the F-150 Raptor to provide ‘extreme all-terrain’ capability. Additionally, the 2026 US-version of the Ranger Raptor features a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 producing 405 hp, equipped with Fox shock absorbers and 33-inch BFGoodrich KO3 tires. In the Greek and European markets, Ford is expanding the Ranger lineup with new technological and commercial offerings. The Ford Ranger Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) introduces the ‘Pro Power Onboard’ system, which can deliver up to 6.9 kW of power to supply electricity to professional tools, construction equipment, or heaters. This system can potentially reduce fuel consumption by up to 50% compared to conventional portable generators once the engine reaches operating temperature. Furthermore, a diesel-powered Ford Ranger XLT is now available, featuring a 3.0L V6 EcoBlue engine producing 240 hp and 600 Nm of torque. This model includes a 10-speed automatic transmission and an e-4WD electronic all-wheel-drive system, offering a towing capacity of up to 3,500 kg and a payload of approximately 1 tonne.
