Engines are likely the 2.3 turbo four from Ranger and a twin turbo six, probably the 2.7, which makes 325 hp/400 lbs-ft in the F-150.

Probably not on diesel, at least at first, though Ford has one in the F-150 it could use. But diesels don’t interest me much these days.
When GM re enters this arena with a RWD based Blazer, not only would I then get one, but I’d also know it’s the end of the gasoline era.

It is very hard, to my mind, beat the simplicity of the Jeep. But I’d try a different approach for sure.
