Why the Next Gen Ford Ranger V6 is So Hard to Tune (and How We’ve Cracked It)

The Next Gen Ford Ranger V6 has been one of the most exciting new vehicles to hit the market in recent years. With its strong diesel performance, towing ability, and modern tech, it’s quickly become a favourite for tradies, tourers, and 4WD enthusiasts.

But if you’ve been waiting to unlock even more performance from your V6 Ranger, you’ve probably run into one big problem…

Until now, no one could tune it.


Why the Next Gen Ranger V6 Has Been Untouchable

Modern diesel vehicles are built with strict emissions and performance controls. The Next Gen Ranger V6’s ECU (Engine Control Unit) is heavily “locked” by Ford, making it nearly impossible for tuners to adjust fuel mapping, boost, or torque limits without the right tools.

For months after launch, even experienced workshops across Australia were unable to crack the ECU. Most could only offer generic plug-in modules or “chips”, not a real, dyno-tested tune.


The Game-Changer

BB Garage now has the capabilities to safely and effectively tune these vehicles. Only a handful of workshops nationwide are qualified to do so and BB Garage is one of them.

That means Ipswich Ranger owners no longer have to wait. We can now write custom in-house tunes for the Next Gen V6 that deliver real, measurable gains tested and proven on our 4WD dyno.


What You’ll Get with a BB Garage V6 Tune

When you book your Ranger V6 in with us, it’s not just a quick plug-in. We go through a complete performance process:

  1. Pre-Dyno Run – measure your factory baseline.
  2. Custom In-House Tune File – written specifically for your vehicle, not a generic download.
  3. Post-Dyno Verification – confirm the gains, fine-tune if needed.
  4. Printed Dyno Report – proof of your before-and-after results.

The Results You Can Expect

Every Ranger is a little different, but here’s what most V6 owners notice straight away after tuning:

  • More torque and pulling power (perfect for towing or carrying load).
  • Sharper throttle response for daily driving and off-road use.
  • Improved drivability across the rev range.
  • Potential efficiency improvements, depending on how you drive.

And because everything is tested on our dyno, you’ll know the exact results your Ranger achieved — not just a guess.
