If I was betting I'd put the 3.0L V6 diesel first because as much as we performance heads would love a V8 in a Ranger the majority "average buyer" group will still favour a diesel as it's economy will be obviously superior.

We've had a HiAce petrol V6 for 2 weeks while our Custom was in the panel shop and it couldn't crack 400L a tank. The thought of a 200kW van makes a delivery driver lick their lips until you tell them you have to pay for the fuel if you want me to buy one. It was needing over $150 per week and it wasn't being used as much as your typical courier driver work load whereas the diesel Transit Custom gets to 700-750km a tank without trying.
