Ranger Diesel
I remember the diesel in the 80's. Available in the ranger and the escort. Uncle had an escort that got 55mpg on the highway.
Smaller diesel(4.5 or 4.6) will be available in the f-150/Expedition fords. Maybe 2004?
Would be nice if they would put the 4.6 gasser in a ranger. I might buy one.
99.5 F250 SD XLT S/C LWB 4X4.
4 in lift 35x12.5 BFG AT/KO 16.5x9.75 Weld SSII Rancho RS9000 Dual Front.
Warn 6ton winch semi-hidden mount. Astro-Flex Remote start/alarm.

well there putting them in cars and Jeep is saying there coming out with one for the Grand Cherokee. Liberty already has one, so why not follow suite that seems to be the new thing. Hence Diesel is so Dam EXPENSIVE

We don't have those small diesel engines here in the US, but would very much like to have them.
With that said, I don't know of any reason not to go ahead and get one of those Rangers.
If there are a lot of them around there should be someone there in your local area that you could talk to. Perhaps go to a local repair shop and ask the mechanics what they think of them. If they smile and say they like them a lot because they make them rich, I would not buy one!!!

I remember reading thread a while back about one guy in Brazil that had a crew cab Ford Ranger with a 2.8 4 cyl Powerstroke under the hood. I would love to swap out the wifes Sportrac with one of those! Ford would make a killing in the US with those things.
