Ranger raptor engine GDI vs port and direct injection

[Hman]

Searching through the internet and finding some mixed information on whether the upcoming Ranger Raptor engine 3.0L TT will have direct injection or both direct/port injection.
I know it’s basically the same engine found in the bronco raptor and explorer ST, but those are only direct injection.
This technical spec from Ford shows both direct/port injection.
Any intel on whether ford worked on the 3.0L TT engine and added port injection? This would actually be ideal as I’ve had GDI and the power loss after several tens of thousands of miles was noticeable from carbon build up.

That's 100% an error. This forum has found more than a dozen errors within the publications for this model. The 3.0 EB is direct injected. The only EB engine I'm aware of with dual direct/port injection is the 3.5L Gen 2 that's in the F150 Raptor and Ford GT.

A decent true catch can from a reputable brand will make the issue negligible. Not all catch cans are created equal.

Im pretty sure the 2.7 and the 400 hp 3.5 in the f150 are dual injected.

Thanks for the info. Yeah it appears you’re correct. The second Gen 2.7L came out right after the second Gen 3.5L with some of the same improvements like the addition of port fuel injection. It’s in the F150, Bronco, and the upcoming Ranger.

Probably not, but hopefully we get a second gen 3.0 with it!

The all new 2.3 Ecoboost in the new Mustang is also dual injection. I hoping at some point in the future it makes it into the Ranger.

Any chance the new 2024 Ranger will actually have it? Seems weird they’d release a new model without it if it’s already in the Mustang.

The Ranger is continuing with the gen 2 2.3 Ecoboost, not the all new 'gen 3'.

That’s unfortunate. Do you know if there is a difference in brake setup between the 2.3 and 2.7 in the new Ranger? I recall seeing something on the Bronco forums that the braking was different and worse with the 2.3 than the 2.7, but I haven’t heard anything about there being two different brake systems in the new Ranger.

What do you mean by braking? The Ranger we get has a variety of brake equipment depending on spec and engine, different front rotor diameters, and the low spec models continue with drum brakes on the rear. No idea what you'll get in the US.

If I recall correctly, the Bronco forums discussed that the 2.3 had vacuum sealed braking system but the 2.7had a different system. There was talk that the vacuum system sometimes caused mushy feeling brakes and it also had a very long stopping distance. If I remember correctly it was tested at 217 feet to go from 70 mph to stop.

I cant speak to that, all our Rangers have the same electronic booster to my understanding.
