    Puma, 5 cyl 3.2 Tdci

    Anyone noticed the New Ford Ranger has the 5cyl Duratorq 3.2 litre engine
    which may be an easy bolt in retrofit into the Puma.
    In Ford Australia Ranger Wildtrack trim its 147kw@3000rpm & 470nm
    which is a decent improvment over the 2.2.

    Is it true they nicknamed it the Puma because the engine produces the same performance as a 110 being towed by a cat in a harness?

    Probably the same cat they tested the air gaps on.

    Dobbo, I'm glad you said "cat in a harness" and not "pussy in a harness" otherwise my mind would be reeling by now
