Why is my 2021 Ford Ranger engine making a knocking noise?

I have noticed that my new Ford Ranger has been making a knocking noise when I accelerate. It never used to do this before and I'm worried about the health of my engine. Is this something I should be concerned about?

This could be caused by a few different factors, such as low oil level, worn out engine components, or dirty fuel injectors. It's important to have a mechanic take a look at your vehicle to properly diagnose the issue and prevent any further damage.

I've experienced a similar issue with my Ford Ranger and it turned out to be a faulty spark plug. I would recommend checking all of your spark plugs and replacing them if necessary.

I would suggest also checking your air filter and replacing it if it's dirty. A clogged air filter can cause engine knocking and reducing engine performance.
