The 3.0L V6 in the Next-Gen Ranger is a genuinely different animal from the four-cylinder options, and a stock calibration is built around that difference, focused on stronger, more usable torque delivery and improved response without upsetting the smoothness the V6 is known for.
Like the Bi-Turbo, the V6 runs hot under load, and we recommend an intercooler before or alongside tuning; our pick after testing the market is the HPD combined transmission cooler and intercooler kit, which addresses both intake temps and transmission temps in one setup.
Upgraded turbo hardware for the V6 diesel changes fuelling and boost requirements substantially, so this platform needs a calibration developed specifically for the new hardware rather than a stock-style file.
Get in touch via Facebook to discuss what’s currently supported for a modified V6 RA. Whatever the setup, the HPD intercooler and trans cooler combo is worth having in place first — more boost means more heat to manage.
If you’re after transmission tuning for the V6 RA’s 10R80 10-speed auto, reach out via our Facebook page to confirm current support and what results are realistic for this drivetrain.
