New Ford Ranger seen again, this time without disguise!

New Ford Ranger seen again, this time without disguise!

Looks like the covers – and camouflage – have come off the new Ford Ranger. The last time the truck was spotted by Danny, it was covered with what looks like a complete sticker job bearing black and white swirl patterns.

Now, new photos have come about of the pickup, sans disguise. Reader Ariff saw the truck sitting in a carpark in Shah Alam, and noticed it because of the distinct rear end, and also because there were no plates on it.

New Ford Ranger seen again, this time without disguise!

The vehicle in the photos is a 3.2 litre variant, which wears the five-cylinder diesel mill of said displacement – numbers for this one are 200 PS and 470 Nm of torque. As we’re aware of, the T6 Ranger will arrive here initially – sometime in the second quarter of the year – wearing the other diesel mill on offer, the 150 PS and 375 Nm 2.2 litre four-cylinder.

The 3.2 litre variant hasn’t actually been confirmed for Malaysia, but it looks like the XLT example seen here is being sampled, adding fuel to the speculation that the version will eventually make it here, perhaps in Wildtrak form! Tip of the hat to Ariff for the pix.

    If this is confirmed than it will secure itself as the most powerful truck in Malaysia.

      bro.. how can u compare this Ranger to Hilux….?? U should compare it to Colorado (Chevrolet) or the new 2012 D-Max (Isuzu)…
      As for me, shud i wait for Isuzu to bring in the new D-max or just go with the Ranger…
      haizzz….. pening.

        Ya bro, Hilux will be totally out of spec and design as compare with this. But again Hilux is an old model where else Ranger, D-Max, Colorado are new generation.

        Bro love4WD, i personally prefer the new Isuzu D-Max. Looks so sporty and macho!

    ranger was best selling pick-up truck in malaysia back in 2001-05 but that moment has gone.

    ford is trying very hard for the past 5 years… keep on trying!!

  • According to insiders 2.2 XLT is about RM97 K. Launch in April. 3.2 will only be in wildtrak form – about RM115 K but only in Q3 2012. They are ready to accept booking fees too. The one in the picture is a 3.2 XLT – looks like Aussie spec from the towbar.
