Factual?
Fact: There is a Ford pick-up with a 2.2 liter diesel.
Fact: Hyundai and Kia don't make pick-ups, aside from drop-sides with the ancient 2.7.
Complaining that the 2.2 liter Ranger is underpowered is like complaining the Accord 2.4 is underpowered because Hyundai's 2.2 liter diesel makes 190 horsepower and kicks ass. It doesn't matter because the Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima only come with 2.5 liter gasoline engines.
And all the on-paper stats in the world don't matter compared to real-world results. Peak horsepower or peak torque alone mean absolutely nothing. What matters is what the engine puts out over the entire rev range and how the gearbox translates that into acceleration.
Just ask the "145 hp" 1.8 liter Corolla Altis.Or the "135 hp" Focus TDCi...
