The Ranger's durability, power and reliability mean it's a match for even the most difficult challenges. A restyled exterior with head-turning looks has created a more imposing presence and the interior also raises the bar when it comes to refinement.
Images for illustrative purposes only.
Muscular look
Ranger has been extensively redesigned to create a bolder, more rugged and distinctive look throughout, from its sculpted grille to its re-styled rear lamps. So, it may act like a workhorse, but it has the looks and performance of a true thoroughbred.
Design and practicality
All Ranger models have tinted glass, while XLT, Thunder and Wildtrak also include chrome detailing, and come in a choice of metallic paint colours.
A double-skinned steel pick-up box with a two-position, drop-down tailgate is standard across the range, ensuring that your vehicle will be as practical as it is great looking.
Versatile interior
Wherever you go in new Ranger, you'll appreciate the ergonomic design. Enjoy new features like the intuitively designed instrument panel, the restyled interior lighting and connection for your music player. Superior style options include illuminated scuff panels (standard on Thunder and Wildtrak), electrically-operated heated door mirrors and privacy glass. Supportive, beautifully crafted seats will make every journey relaxed and enjoyable, whether you're off-road, travelling to a business meeting or making a trip the shops.

Stiff body shell
The unrivalled stability of the Ranger is based on its robust cross-braced ladder-frame chassis. The rigidity and strength of this framework ensures that the vehicle can overcome the most testing conditions.
4-wheel anti-lock braking system (4W-ABS)
4W-ABS is a combination of an anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake-force distribution (EBD). So, whether you are laden with a palette of bricks, or just carrying a set of golf clubs, this advanced system provides safe, effective braking and steering stability when braking mid corner. Plus, short distance stopping is also improved in adverse weather conditions.
Park assist
There are rear sensors on Thunder and Wildtrak that make parking and manoeuvering both safer and easier. An audible warning helps you judge the distance between your car and any obstacle behind you, so you have complete confidence and peace of mind when reversing.
High-performance diesels
The Ranger series is available with the 2.5-litre Duratorq TDCi (143PS) diesel engine. This dependable powertrain produces responsive acceleration and optimum fuel consumption. At just 1800rpm, a remarkably high 330Nm of torque is produced, which makes it perfect for both towing and off-road driving. This comes with either manual transmission or an innovative 5-speed automatic transmission on the Thunder that harnesses all the power, effortlessly.
If you need even more power, the Wildtrak is available with the superb 3.0-litre Duratorq TDCi (156PS) engine.
