There's big change for Ford's Ranger family.

The company recently announced it will delete the bi-turbo four cylinder diesel engine, replacing it with a single-turbo unit, in a move designed to improve the brand's global emissions compliance.

That change will also be implemented in the Ranger-based Everest SUV family, once existing stocks of bi-turbo vehicles have been sold.

Continuing in the upper reaches of both ranges is the 3.0-litre turbodiesel V6, while the Ranger's PHEV versions (XLT, Wildtrak and Stormtrak) will continue to use the company's 2.3-litre petrol four cylinder engine. Raptor V6 retains its 3.0-litre turbo petrol V6.

The recently-launched ranger Super Duty (pictured) will arrive next year. It uses the turbodiesel V6 and has a 4,500kg braked towing capacity, filling a market niche currently vacant in this country.
