From impressive gains in power and safety to exceptional towing capability,
the next-generation Ford Ranger emerges as a clear segment leader. It not only
builds on the tremendous Ranger heritage of pickup truck capability, but it also
gives truck owners a spacious, comfortable, feature-filled interior and
sophisticated driving experience they would expect to find only in a car.
Built on innovation, it boasts a list of technologies and features to lead
the segment - including a new Rearview Camera System, Rear Park Assist, Trailer
Sway Control and Adaptive Load Control. Ford plans to reveal even more new
Ranger technologies in the coming months.
Destined for sale across five
continents and more than 180 markets, Ranger will be offered as a complete
family of compact trucks - with three different cab body styles, 4x2 and 4x4
drivetrains, two ride heights and up to five series choices, depending on the
market.
With an all-new chassis frame, front and rear suspension and
steering system, Ranger delivers more payload and outstanding towing capability.
It is powered by a choice of three new, fuel-efficient powertrains, including
two state-of-the-art common-rail Ford Duratorq TDCi diesels and new
fuel-efficient six-speed transmissions. Add in more chassis and safety
technologies, and the story of Ranger pickup truck leadership becomes as vivid
as its powerful, purposeful stance.
The flagship of the new range is the
Ford Ranger XLT Double Cab model unveiled in Sydney in lustrous Aurora Blue,
showcasing a gutsy fuel-efficient new 2.2-liter Ford Duratorq TDCi 148 hp diesel
engine with an impressive 277 lb-ft of available torque.
"21st Century
Tough" Styling
The all-new Ford Ranger creates a bold and purposeful
presence, with a fresh, contemporary exterior design that exudes the famous
Built Ford Tough personality. Designers call the look "21st Century Tough".
Taut, toned muscularity and a bold, confident stance instantly signal the
strength and capability of an ultra-modern pickup truck. Yet it also
communicates a transformed, more sophisticated and refined style that appeals to
a new generation of truck owners.
