Hi SK, Would you buy the Ford Ranger with a Duratorq inline 5 diesel with auto or manual trans and why?

Thank you SK

Happy New Year and have an grand day.

The 3.2 Ford Ranger/Mazda BT50 5-cylinder Diesel engine can suffer from any of the following problems.

  1. Intake Pipe cracks causing the engine to go into limp mode and lose power.
  2. Oil Pump will not prime if the oil is left to drain for longer than 10 minutes which could result in catastrophic engine failure.
  3. Crank Position Sensor failure causes the engine to shut off without any warnings
  4. EGR Failure

I would pass on it as Ford quality is not good at all.
