FastMotoring Motor News In Speed

Shortly after the reveal of the 2011 Ford Ranger, Mazda released the first photos of the all-new BT-50. Both trucks will be premiere at this week’s Australian International Motor Show in Sydney.

Some of you might have known that the two pickup truck models are the result of collaboration between Ford and Mazda. The smiley face front fa§ade is fully inherited from the other Mazda’s series. The interior wise, I would said that the new BT-50 feature all the accommodations of a passenger car inside. Much improved compare to the previous generation.

The new BT-50 in its teaser press release:

“It offers all the functionality required for business use combined with passenger car-like comfort for family use; and for active customers in Australia and Europe, it is the perfect answer for all kinds of outdoor leisure activities.

“With modern and refined styling both inside and out, the All-New Mazda BT-50 will raise the bar in the utility segment and for the first time provide a realistic alternative to the family wagon and 4×4 SUV.”

Somehow, the technical specification and details is still unrevealed by Mazda, but we expect a similar engine range to the new Ford Ranger as well.

The 2011 Ford Ranger pickup will be debuts at the upcoming Australian International Motor Show in Sydney. This trendy and handsome pickup will be available in 180 markets with few variants including two-wheel and four-wheel drive options and two ride heights.

Under the hood, the most potent engine available will be a stout 3.2-liter Duratorq turbocharged five-cylinder diesel with 200 horsepower and 346 lb-ft of twist, though the company says that there will be a choice of a total of three power plant options, including one gasoline engine. Regardless which power plant, Ford is serving up six-speed manual and automatic transmissions. In Malaysia, the New Ford Ranger 2011 is likely equipped with a Duratorq TDCi engine of 150 HP and 277 lb-ft of torque, with four in-line cylinders and a displacement of 2.2-liter.

We are foreseeing this all-new Ford Ranger will be reaching our ground in next year. I am sure this new model will give Toyota Hilux, Mitsubishi Triton and Nissan Navara a big run together.
