    Maybe the other way around.
    Ranger designed locally by Ford but made in Thailand, same factory made the older BT50. Joint venture between Ford & Mazda for some years.

    …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 problems

    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.
    2005 D3 TDV6 Present
    1999 D2 TD5 Gone
