Why is the 2021 Ford Ranger losing power while accelerating?

I recently purchased a 2021 Ford Ranger and have noticed that it is losing power while accelerating. This happens mainly when going uphill or when towing a heavy load. What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?

Based on your description, it sounds like your turbocharger may be failing. I would recommend taking your truck to a trusted mechanic to have it checked and potentially replaced.

I have experienced this issue before with my Ford Ranger and it turned out to be a faulty fuel pump. I would suggest having that checked and replaced if necessary.

Check your air intake and make sure it is not clogged or dirty. This can cause a decrease in engine power. If it is dirty, clean or replace it.
