2.0l EcoBoost 4 cylinder engine

Has anyone heard any confirmation if the new Ecoboost 4 cyl. engine is going to make it's way into the 2010 Ranger?

No word yet but you could bet on it. They are speculating this engine could be even in the F150 so if it can haul that bulk around it would almost be a hot rod engine in the RBV's.

I doubt it for 2010, but hopefully in the future. It's got a lot of promise, if it delivers the numbers Ford is claiming. Direct injection and turbocharging is a huge step forward. From the info above, looks like the max 240 ft-lb's is on tap (and almost dead flat) from about 1700rpm all the way to 5500rpm. No complaints there.
