This is the moment many fans of the Ford Ranger have been waiting for – an all-new, next-generation model. Well, the veils have come off, and there’s a lot to look forward to.
There is of course the bold new redesign, featuring innovative solutions such as zone lighting systems, a rear box step, plus integrated metric/imperial ruler on the tailgate. It’s brimming with technology, too, with Matrix LED headlights now available for the first time.
Inside, more expensive models get a fully digital instrument cluster, as well as a massive 12-inch tablet-style infotainment display with Ford’s latest SYNC 4 system. A built-in modem enables over-the-air updates for the first time, which is all pretty advance stuff or a pick-up truck.
Existing Ranger owners have pleaded for a more powerful engine, and their prayers have been answered. Ford has fielded a 3.0 V6 turbodiesel engine for the first time, making it the second pick-up truck (after the Volkswagen Amarok) in the southern hemisphere to get a six-pot diesel. Learn all about the new Ranger in our video!

Banish all other pretenders, this is the monster you have been waiting for. Pickups are all about tough, and Ford is built tough.
the smaller more versatile Maverick instead abeit it’s only available in LHD
I wonder why no one makes a fully loaded long bad, single cab pickup.
Single cab all commercial grade basic….
On that note, anyone know why my HiAce has 3 front seats and 3 seat belts but JPJ only allow 2 passengers on my van?
