Thread: Ford Ranger Raptor - anyone else thinking a 2L diesel is a bad idea

I agree, these days its more power, more revs and smaller size!.... To my basic mind that tells me that the smaller motor is working harder and therefore more stressed and will not last as long in the years to come. I'm comparing this to say a 4.0 litre Toyota diesel or 4.2 Nissan version, which seem to keep chugging along year after year.

I compare it to Bathurst all those years ago when they brought out the Sierra cosworth's. They were under half the capacity but made the same power as the V8's, but because they were highly strung 2.0 litre engines they were all hand genades!

Still a neat looking truck though!
