While Ford is currently keeping the details to themselves, rumor is that this new engine will be a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder diesel. Engineered by both Ford and Land Rover many years ago, this turbocharged engine would come rated at 254-horsepower and 440 pound-feet of torque and is expected to be mated to Ford's new 10-speed automatic transmission.
