2025 Ranger getting the “New” 2.3L Ecoboost w/ direct port injection

[Gplassm]

This news makes me happy that I did not buy a left over ‘24, although that could have saved me a significant amount of money.
I should be picking up my new 2025 Ranger XLT with the new 2.3 this week, so I am excited about this new engine revision. I hope that it proves to be powerful and reliable!

I think its awesome that ford corrected the fuel injection system so no more valve coking.

I specifically bought the 2.3 because i have had the old ones and they were solid engines that would run forever. I think this will be the same way, especially after having the 2.0 in the focus st and the escape titanium

Was there really a problem? 5g Ranger didn’t seem to have many problems, neither the mustang or the explorer or the bronco.

Thanks maus. I have been driving a 2017 Ram hemi that I bought new and has never been back to the dealer for an issue so I am a little nervous. If it has the new (to the Ranger) engine with the port and direct injection that will be a nice bonus that I didnt know about when I ordered it in Nov.

Cherish your Ram. My 24 Ranger has been in the shop for warranty repair more than all my previous vehicles combined. It's a great platform, just shotty QC. I hope yours is better.

Thanks Dan. I just read through your old posts and you have had a time of it. They sold my Ram in 2 days after I traded it. No issues so far with this one so we will see. I hope you have a good outcome.

I am not sure apecifically to the ranger but i know valve coking is an issue on direct injection engines. How soon the effects are seen, who knows
