VW will be offering it though. But only on the highest spec model. I'm sure Ford will be taking a close look on how it is received. But with diesels in dual cabs making up 99% of the market I think it will be largely ignored. Especially with current fuel prices.
The US Rangers i've driven with that engine go pretty good though. I think 0-100 in mid to high 6's or something like that.

Honestly, if I wasn't getting a Raptor, I would get the Amarok with the 2.3. I feel the styling is much more successful than the non-Raptor versions of the Ranger. I just can't get past the front grille/bumper treatment on the Ranger.
The only problem with the Amarok is they are limiting the 2.3 to the top of the range Aventura instead of including the option on the more desirable (imo) PanAmericana.
