I don't think that can be true. I believe to get that kind of HP from a 3.0 you would have to turn high RPM. High RPM HP means very little low RPM torque. People want low rpm torque for their trucks.

They are building a new 3.5 liter Duratec engine. I read it here.

That may be a good choice for a Ranger.
