Ford says the all-new global Ford Ranger comes to market next month, combining the toughness and capability of a pickup truck with smart technology, outstanding safety, excellent fuel economy and high standards of quality and comfort.
Ranger will be offered in three cab styles – Double, Super and Single – along with an extensive list of practical features that are available in three series choices for Australian customers. All three cab styles are among the roomiest in the segment.
Two body styles will be offered: Cab Chassis and Pick-up.
The compact pickup will also come in 4x2 and 4x4 drive trains and two ride heights with the 4x2 Hi-Rider sharing the same frame as the 4x4 model.
Totally new from the ground up, Ranger was designed and developed to be among the forerunners – if not the pack leaders – in every area that is important to the customer, especially for those who use it for both work and leisure purposes. The pickup now delivers impressive payload and outstanding towing capability and, at the same time, is fitted out with innovative and comfort features that a dual user has come to want and value.
For nearly 20 years, Ranger has been one of Ford’s most popular pickups across the globe, providing millions of customers with Ford Tough Truck capabilities. Having gone through a comprehensive global development program, the all-new Ranger builds on its strong heritage and is now set to blaze new trails ahead.
“The all-new Ranger is the first pickup truck to be built under the One Ford strategy and has benefited tremendously from the full engineering expertise of Ford around the world,” said Joe Hinrichs, president of Ford Asia Pacific and Africa. “This has enabled us to deliver a truck with no compromise, a truck that provides customers around the world with quality, fuel efficiency, safety and smart technology in one complete package.”
The first all-new Ranger models to be released will be the five-cylinder 3.2 TDCi-powered 4x4 Double Cab in both XL and XLT specifications. These will be available in both manual and automatic transmissions when they go on sale in October this year. The remainder of the all-new Ranger model range will be released in the subsequent months.
