He gets a V6 diesel because of electrification – interesting
This is the most successful pick-up in Europe. Or rather the new version of it. The Ford Ranger got some style tips from its big brother, the Ford F-150. The more angular nose “creates more space in the engine compartment for the new V6 engine and makes Ranger ready for other powertrain technologies in the near future.” Just like its big brother, the Ranger will also be electric, but not yet. Ford will first add a 3.0-litre V6 diesel to its range. In addition, there are the well-known 2.0-litre diesels and 2.3-litre petrol engines.
To defend its 40 percent market share in Europe, the Ford Ranger grows by 50 millimeters in width and also in wheelbase. A full pallet fits in the back of the box and there are more points to secure the load. You can switch the lighting off and on with the app if the job is running late. There are two types of four-wheel drive: one that you can switch on and off and a system that is permanently active with a so-called ‘set-and-forget’ setting.
The price of the new Ford Ranger is not yet known
Inside, Ford places a 10- or 12-inch screen with their latest infotainment system. That means that a lot of buttons disappear and can be found in the screen. Voice control is available for those concerned about dirty hands. Of course there are wireless updates. By the way, you will have to wait a while for your new Ford Ranger. You can order the pick-up from the end of 2022. So one more year. Ford expects the truck to arrive in Europe at the beginning of 2023. The prices of the new Ford Ranger will follow later.
