Yep, the 3.0L Duratec was first used for the 1996 Taurus/Sable as a replacement for the 3.8L

Funny, isn't that the same 4-cyl in the late '01-'11 Rangers?
The early model of the Escape used the 2L until 2005 then switched to the 2.3L from the Mazda 3 series. In 2008, the Escape used the new 2.5L. The escape and ranger cannot share the same engine since the escape is front wheel drive and the ranger is rear wheel drive.
