Let's move to Australia

I hope we eventually get some kind of engine variants like these. I mean, I personally am jealous of the whips they get down there. Even their Chevy's (Holden) are better.

Don't count on us getting any of the cool stuff the Aussies get.

They still had the 250 CID inline 6 until about 20 years ago. Those even got EFI down under.

 

[Ranger850]

I know. But the idiot it me still wants to see some sort of special edition. Even though it would be out of my price range, it be nice if the did something simple. Like the "Midnight" editions Nissan does.

I had to go online and convert the KW and Nm to Horsepower and Torque.

2.0L Turbo Diesel - 210 HP and 368 TQ
3.2L 5-Cylinder 197 HP 346 TQ

North American 2.3L EcoBoost - 270 HP 310 TQ

Those engines produce less horsepower, but more torque.

I'm sure it won't be long before a tune is available to easily boost it up to 300-325 hp / 330-360 tq with all they've done with the Mustang 2.3 EB. I'm hoping for a Ford approved tune like they offer on the Mustang

They wouldn't let me bring all my guns with me if I did move so I'm out.

Ranger DU.

??? I'm dumb. you'll have to explain the "DU"
"Diesel Utility"? "Dirty Undercarriage"? "Dual Usage" ? "Dude Usuck"? I know I'm missing the obvious...

 

[adsm08]

Down Under.

We are talking about the Aussie versions of things, right?

I wouldn't move to Australia if they put the 6.7 Powerstroke in their Rangers.

Sure it would be awesome... until the first bug/spider/snake/crock bite.

It does seem that most of their wild life has evolved for the sole purpose of killing people.

 

[Jim Oaks]

Ya, the whole spider thing kills it for me. I'm not living anywhere that has spiders big enough to put a leash on.

Australia does seem to have or get the best off road vehicles.
