Ford Confirms Argentina-Built Ranger Tremor With 2.3L EcoBoost

Local testing will follow the production start, with timing reported as late 2026 by some outlets and early 2027 by others.

Overview

  • Ford’s Martín Galdeano announced at the Detroit Auto Show that the off‑road‑focused Ranger Tremor will be produced at the General Pacheco plant in Buenos Aires.
  • Sources differ on the start date, with reports pointing to late 2026 and others citing early 2027, and Ford has not released final power or torque figures.
  • The Argentina-made Tremor will use a petrol 2.3‑liter EcoBoost engine and is positioned between standard Ranger trims and the high‑performance Raptor.
  • Galdeano said initial dynamic tests are planned the summer after production begins in the coastal town of Cariló.
  • The program extends Ford’s recent Pacheco investments to about $870 million alongside new single‑cab and chassis‑cab variants due before mid‑2026 and a plug‑in hybrid Ranger targeted around 2027.
