Formerly, rumors spread that the Ford Ranger Raptor 2018 would be driven by either a Ford’s 3.5-liter twin turbo EcoBoost V6 engine or a smaller refreshed 3.2-liter unit. Yet, according to latest car news, the much-awaited Ranger Raptor will come with a 2.0-liter turbodiesel engine. So, for all intents and purposes, the EcoBlue which was introduced last year would be a potential candidate.
