the point of my post went sailing over your head
the whole point behind the ecoboost is to allow the use of a smaller, more fuel efficient engine in place of a larger one without sacrificing power. e.g. a 6 cylinder will be used in place of an 8 cylinder, and a 4 banger in place of a v-6.
putting a v-6 "ecoboosted" engine in your ranger would provide the same mileage as its getting now...although with much higher power output. if ford was to equip the ranger with ecoboost, it would likely be a 4 cylinder which would provide v-6 power levels with 4 banger fuel economy.
they called it "ecoboost" because it boosts the economy without sacrificing power. if they were after more power with unchanged economy, they would have called it "powerboost"
