Damn, twin turbo diesel? @Tbirdsc1 > Today we caught the first shots (and video) of a production spec LHD Ranger Raptor while testing in Metro Detroit. Up until this point Ford has only shown the RHD version of the truck. > Seeing this LHD Ranger Raptor testing stateside more or less guarantees a US debut, and should garner excitement for those still waiting for a confirmation from Ford. This truck features a Raptor graphics package, and the engine emitted that all too familiar diesel clang heard on earlier prototypes (as heard in the video). > The 2019 Ranger FX4 debuted with a version of the 2.3-liter Ecoboost used in the Mustang and Lincoln MKC paired to a ten-speed automatic, although engine options for the Ranger Raptor should consist of a version of the 2.7-liter Ecoboost V6, also found in the F-150, and fingers crossed, the new twin turbo diesel. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/2X/e/eea5a434d1415b2087fe8417a72c6370d5f35fec.jpg) [![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/e/f/efffd66d766eef4aabfb97bea9ef6293d5d1f7b0.jpeg "2020 Ford Ranger Raptor spied testing in US!") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvbzDEIcxZg) ---

Heard about this a while back, not sure how I missed your initial post. Definitely excited to see and test drive one, might be a nice addition in the driveway. ---

Kind of surprised at this decision… Do they really sell more of these overseas than they would here? And I do think its a pretty cool looking little truck. ---
