What is the horsepower rating of the 2.7 L EcoBoost V-6 engine on the Ranger?

The Ranger does not offer a 2.7 L EcoBoost V-6 engine in Ford’s current U.S. lineup. The gasoline engine most commonly associated with the Ranger here is the 2.3 L EcoBoost I-4, which produces about 270 horsepower. The 2.7 L EcoBoost V-6 is better known from Ford’s F-Series trucks, and its horsepower varies by configuration and market. This article explains what Ford currently offers for the Ranger and what the 2.7 L EcoBoost V-6 delivers in its native F-Series context.


Current Ranger engine options


Before listing the engines, note that the Ranger’s widely documented gasoline engine in the United States is the 2.3 L EcoBoost I-4. Ford does not publish a Ranger variant with a 2.7 L EcoBoost V-6 in the U.S. market. The following details focus on Ranger configurations that Ford has publicly offered or documented for major markets, with the 2.7 L V-6 noted here for context only where applicable.



  • 2.3 L EcoBoost I-4: approximately 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque in the Ranger’s US-spec lineup.


In most Ranger documentation and model-year guides, the 2.7 L EcoBoost V-6 is not listed as a standard Ranger powertrain in the United States. For buyers in other regions, engine availability can differ, but the 2.7 L V-6 remains more closely associated with the F-Series rather than the Ranger in current documentation.


The 2.7 L EcoBoost V-6 in Ford's lineup


To put the 2.7 L EcoBoost V-6 in context, this engine is best known in Ford’s larger pickup, the F-150, where it is offered in standard and higher-output configurations. The horsepower figures vary by version and year, and market calibrations can shift details slightly. The most commonly cited figures are as follows:



  • Standard 2.7 L EcoBoost V-6: about 325 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque.

  • 2.7 L EcoBoost High Output (HO): up to roughly 400 horsepower and around 500 lb-ft of torque, depending on model year and market.


These numbers reflect Ford’s public specifications for the 2.7 L EcoBoost V-6 in the F-150 family, not a Ranger. In other words, the Ranger itself does not publish a 2.7 L V-6 horsepower rating in its current U.S. configuration, and the 2.7 L V-6 figures cited here pertain to the F-150 platform where the engine is more commonly used.


Bottom line for Ranger buyers


If your goal is a Ranger with the 2.7 L EcoBoost V-6, you should know that Ford’s current Ranger offerings in the U.S. do not include that engine option. For more power from a Ranger, buyers typically consider the 2.3 L EcoBoost I-4 with its own performance characteristics or explore other Ford vehicles, such as the F-150, where the 2.7 L EcoBoost V-6 is available in standard and higher-output configurations. Always check the latest regional Ford specs, as engine availability and ratings can change with new model years.


Summary


In summary, the Ranger itself does not feature a 2.7 L EcoBoost V-6 in the U.S. lineup, where the go-to Ranger engine is the 2.3 L EcoBoost I-4 at around 270 hp. The 2.7 L EcoBoost V-6 is a Ford engine more commonly associated with the F-150, delivering roughly 325 hp (standard) and up to about 400 hp in higher-output versions, with torque around 400 lb-ft and up to ~500 lb-ft in some configurations. Market-specific specs can vary, so verify the exact figures for your region and model year.
