What is the difference between Ford Ranger 2.5 and 3.0 engines?

I am considering buying a Ford Ranger, but I am confused about the engine choices. What are the key differences between the 2.5 and 3.0 engines in terms of performance and fuel efficiency?

In my experience, the 2.5 engine is more reliable and has better fuel efficiency. However, the 3.0 engine offers more power and torque.

I would recommend going for the 3.0 engine if you plan on doing a lot of heavy towing or off-roading. Otherwise, the 2.5 engine should suffice.

I have driven both engines and I personally prefer the 3.0 for its smoother acceleration and better handling. But it ultimately depends on your needs and budget.
