The Ford Ranger Next Gen, launched in 2022, introduced the first major platform overhaul since the original PX series.

Built on an upgraded T6 architecture (T6.2), the Next Gen Ranger brought significant improvements in power, refinement, technology and capability. With modern engines including the 2.0L Bi-Turbo and the powerful 3.0L V6 diesel, the Next Gen quickly became one of Australia’s best-selling utes across both trade and family buyers.

Next Gen Engines & Driveline

The Next Gen Ranger introduced new powertrains and updated versions of earlier engines. The standout upgrade is the 3.0L V6 turbo diesel paired with Ford’s advanced 10-speed transmission. Most variants also received increases in towing ability, off-road capability and drivability.

3.0L V6 Turbo Diesel (Lion/Power Stroke)

  • 184kW / 600Nm

  • Massive torque for towing

  • Used in Sport, XLT and Wildtrak

  • High demand for engines, turbos & transmissions

2.0L Bi-Turbo Diesel (YLR)

  • Carried over from later PX3 models

  • Improved cooling and calibration

  • Paired with 10-speed 10R80 auto

  • Common requests: intercooler pipes, turbos, EGR components

2.0L Single Turbo Diesel

  • Entry-level powertrain

  • Found in XL and XLS

  • Shares some components with Bi-Turbo, but not all

⚠️Common Next Gen Ranger Issues

As a newer model, long-term trends are still emerging, but several common issues are already being reported across fleets and owner groups.

  • Oil pump drive concerns on early V6 models;
  • EGR valve and sensor failures;
  • Turbo actuator issues on Bi-Turbo variants;
  • Cooling system leaks (thermostat housing and small hoses);
  • DPF issues in short-trip usage;
  • 10R80 shift quality complaints in some vehicles;
  • Electronics faults, especially:
    • Cameras and parking sensors;
    • SYNC 4 modules;
    • Battery drain issues from smart charging systems.

🔩 Body & Interior Components

Because the Next Gen was a complete redesign, almost nothing interchanges with PX1–PX3.

🔄 PX3 Ranger Parts Interchangeability

The Next Gen Ranger shares very few components with the PX series. Most mechanical, electrical and body parts are unique to the updated platform, especially given the new V6 powertrain and revised chassis geometry.

  • Engines: No compatibility with PX series;
  • Transmissions: 10R80 shares lineage with PX3 but uses different calibrations & components;
  • Panels: Completely unique front and rear design;
  • Interior: Entirely new architecture (SYNC 4, digital cluster, PATS modules);
  • Driveline: New diffs, hubs, axles & braking systems.
