However with this present form the level bed Ford has dumped its workhorse picture and included another feeling of style to the reach.
This doesn’t mean it’s lost any of its roughness or strong claim, however. While the top-spec Limited and Wildtrak variants look extraordinary and highlight a lot of pack, with lasting four-wheel drive the Ranger can adapt to genuine rough terrain landscape, and the bigger burden narrows can convey more than one ton of weight.
Contrasted with Japanese pick-ups like the Mitsubishi L200, Toyota Hilux and Nissan Navara, the Ford’s outline has a brasher, American edge – however given that numerous purchasers pick-ups over a van or other business vehicles for the mix of reasonableness and style, this head-turning configuration is welcome.
It emerges against European rivals like the gorgeous Volkswagen Amarok, as well, however while the Ranger’s inside is tough and roused by the Focus family hatchback as far as configuration, it’s not as high caliber as the VW.
Like most pick-ups, there are a couple of various body styles on offer, Regular Cab Ranger, the slightly larger Super Cab version and the roomy four-seater Double Cab. Costs begin from £18,399, £20,864 and £23,014 individually, and purchasers can likewise pick from covered and uncovered load bays. There’s a scope of three engines to look over, including two 2.2-litre TDCi turbodiesel units creating either 123bhp or 148bhp. Ranger’s 197bhp 3.2-litre turbodiesel sits at the highest point of the line-up.
The Ranger comprises of four trim variations. The basic level XL adaptation is meagerly prepared, with electric doors reflects the main genuine highlight. We’d recommend going for the XLT model at the very least, which adds 16-inch alloys, Bluetooth, cruise control and a heated windscreen.
In any case, our pick of the extent is the Limited model, which brags bigger 17-inch wheels, a warmed electric driver’s seat, air conditioning and rear parking sensors on top. On the off chance that you truly need to pimp your Ranger out, go for the Wildtrak, adding 18-inch alloys, sat-nav and a rear-view camera.
