In an impressive showcase of its exceptional capability, Ford's latest global compact pickup hauled a 160-tonne historic steam locomotive out of its shed in Victoria, Australia. The all-new Ranger was not modified at all for this challenge, relying on the 147 kW of power and 470 Nm of torque from its 3.2-litre, five-cylinder diesel engine. See it to believe it!

  • Ew, it looks like a shitbox, i mean nissian

  • @1955TheKid yes it its dumbass its the 2011 2.3 l turbo diesel

  • @punchmaster123 because were all about MPG and pussy ass hippy shit like that. America gets the worst cars from all countries. Look at toyota, all there cars are slow. so they start making scions and what do you know, they put a 6-speed in a car with 160 hp. fucking retarded.

  • thats not a ranger

  • why dont they make the ranger like this in america?

  • wow!

  • What a beautiful locomotive, and shed!

  • wow thats a cool video of a train idling out of a garage.....

  • What useless nonsense.  How often will you need to tow a locomotive?

    Getting back to reality -- how often do you wish you got better gas mileage.

  • VW did a similar stunt with Touareg towing a 747. They had to replace the standard suspension and axles and add about 4500kg in balast to the vehicle to give it traction.
