I think this is the unit they are looking at using for the EREV: https://www.mahle-powertrain.com/en/experience/mahle-compact-range-extender-engine/

Ford's flip-flopping continues lol.....     Ford announced that it would be ending its manufacturing operations in India back in 2021, after which it sold the the Sanand Assembly plant to Tata Motors, though it never found a buyer for the Chennai Assembly plant. A little over a year ago, The Blue Oval surprisingly announced that it would restart production there, but those plans were put on ice in February - and were once again allegedly threatened by tariffs mere weeks ago. However, it now seems as if Ford will be reviving its manufacturing operations in India soon, regardless.Ford Will Spend $370 Million On Engine Production In India According to Bloomberg, Ford now plans to invest 32.50 billion rupees ($370 million) in India, which will be used to retool the Maraimalai Nagar manufacturing site in the southern state of Tamil Nadu for production of  "high-end" engines. The plant will have an annual capacity of around 200,000 units, which will be built there but exported to other markets - though not the U.S. - which isn't surprising given the fact that India is currently dealing with a 50 percent tariff for goods exported to America.

Ram’s First-Ever SUV Is Coming — a Three-Row Family Hauler Due in 2028 - Autoblog Ram Wants To Build an SUV, Believe It or Not Ram's Ford Expedition Rival On Track For 2028 Debut   Automotive News reports that Antonio Filosa, the CEO of Stellantis, told Wall Street analysts that the automaker will soon bring an SUV to market. The on-sale date is targeted for 2028. It will arrive with a choice between a standard gas or a range-extended hybrid setup. Given that Dodge has a new Durango planned for 2029, we wouldn't be shocked to see these two SUVs share the same platform.     --   So it'll be a Ram SUV, not a Dodge one.  But Dodge also has a new Durango coming.   My guess is they'll make the Durango more sporty, allowing the Ram model to be a Wagoneer twin with more trucky styling.

I was thinking more the flat 4 design not necessarily an actual Porsche engine.  Doesn’t Subaru use flat 4s also?

That would be a waste of a sweet engine. I don't think an EREV needs anything that exotic.  Needs to be better than a noisy old Briggs & Stratton, but not quite up to Porsche qualities.

Could be different suppliers or an assembly problem.

The data doesn’t support that conclusion.  The data says people are driving less in EV mode and more in ICE mode than expected.  Period.  That could be caused by not charging but could also be because people are simply driving more miles per day than estimated as I already pointed out,

A Porsche flat 4 would fit nicely.

Not sure where the truck would put it.

Honestly, it's more that I don't care enough to actually look at/into the numbers.   It seems to boil down to the fact that people don't use them as intended and/or governments have policies that force people into mis-using them (i.e. the EV mode in cities, vs. optimal usage).
