…and apparently the next VW Amarok will be a rebadged Ford Ranger.
Interesting move by VW considering all the development that went into the Amarok. Not enough sales? IMO the Amarok was a better vehicle than the Ranger.
…although the 2.2 Ranger does have a Defender engine 😇.
2.2 never belonged to the defender, thats why they give so many problemsQuote:

Really? both the 2.2 and 2.4 are Ford Duratorq engines, they used the 2.2 to meet even more stringent emission standards EURO5, IIRC. The 2.2 was used in many vehicles besides Ranger and Defender, like Transits, Mondeos, Jags, Everest, BT-50, Citroën and Peugeot, among others. Defenders have also had the TD5 and Tdi (200 & 300) and the beauty of them is lots of different motors can be fitted to them like Perkins, Cummins, Mercedes, LS1, etc.Quote:

2.2 looks relatively problem free in Defenders to me.Quote:
