NanLaew Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 2 minutes ago, transam said: Thought the 2.2 would be higher revving.... The 2.2 seemed better geared at the lower end, say 1 through 3 for tootling around town. The higher end gearing isn't much different. Maybe something to do with the low-end torque of the quieter running 4 cylinder mill in the 2.2 versus the clattery 5 cylinder on the 3.2? Even the non-technical Mrs Tam noticed the difference at the time. The 2.2 would definitely up-shift sooner than the 3.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wow64 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) Here is a link with the gearing.. my understand in the autos is it's the same.. https://resources.mynewsdesk.com/image/upload/t_attachment/x7kvyti3qaib9jrl9r8n.pdf Edited September 23, 2017 by wow64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, auto box and rear end ratios are the same, so rpm will be the same unless converter stall is different...Doubt it though...Because a low torque motor may be given a higher rpm stall to use it's torque band...

wow64 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Have read that the 3.2 is limited in power for the first few gears so it doesn't blow the box. Maybe the reason.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond the few that have caused grief, I haven't read about any mountains of dead manual or auto transmission in any Ranger forums, Thai, Australian or the UK. Is your mate in South Africa? Maybe low-end torque in the 3.2 is the key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the early ones and fixed with a software update he said.. Oh and another nice treat they automatically did the update when people brought their cars in for a service.. he said ppl were complaining about the sudden lose of power people could feel.

I reckon a 5.7L V8 with only 380hp is a bit of a waste when you consider you can get almost 2x the hp from a V6 that's only 60% the size. But a V8 rumble does sound great!

Very good chance for a 2.0 215hp panther engine (though it runs lower HP in some vehicles overseas). Wonder how close it will come to this rendering? Any bets on the price? 1.4 - 1.5M baht?
