A Striking Design Inspired by Ford's Global Line of Pickup Trucks

The New Ranger boasts a striking and all-new design that aligns with Ford's renowned lineup of global pickup trucks. Drawing inspiration from the best-selling F Series, the New Ranger exhibits muscular lines, exuding a robust and dynamic profile. Its larger dimensions, including length, width, wheelbase, and tracks, command an imposing presence on the road.

The front grille, featuring an elegant chrome finish, harmoniously blends with the sleek full-LED headlights shaped like a distinctive "C." Another remarkable addition to the New Ranger is the introduction of 20-inch alloy wheels mounted on 255/55/20 tires, a first for the model. Every aspect of the design serves a purpose, exemplifying thoughtful engineering. The Limited version boasts functional roof rack bars, while the San Antonio sports bar extends with practical rails on the sides of the bed. All versions come equipped with a box access step incorporated into the side design, facilitating effortless loading and unloading maneuvers. Furthermore, the fenders feature protective moldings, and the cargo box is fortified with edge protection to safeguard against damage during usage. The tailgate proudly displays the word "RANGER" and includes tool mounts, providing a versatile workbench. Illuminated 12V charging points and a flex-bed bed protector come standard on Limited versions, while the taillights incorporate cutting-edge LED technology.

Unprecedented Refinement and Comfort in the Interior

The New Ranger elevates refinement, functionality, and comfort to new heights within its interior. Boasting unparalleled finishes and attention to detail among midsize pick-ups, the cabin sets a new benchmark. Soft-touch materials adorn the door panels, complemented by ambient lighting, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The seats, steering wheel, and gear selector are all upholstered in eco-leather, exuding sophistication and elegance. The rear seats now offer enhanced comfort and include air conditioning outlets. Intelligent storage solutions, such as the dual glove box, provide convenient access to passenger essentials.

The Strong Race: Unmatched Robustness and Capability

To further enhance its robustness and capability, the New Ranger features a reinforced chassis and a new suspension system capable of conquering diverse terrains. Ford subjected the New Ranger to an extensive evaluation process, traversing over 1 million kilometers on South American roads and in various climates, ensuring its readiness for any adventure.

Crafted from highly resistant steel, the new chassis exhibits 30% greater torsional resistance and 25% increased traction resistance. The all-new suspension design repositions the rear shocks outside the frame, resulting in an exceptionally smooth ride and extended suspension travel. The New Ranger also integrates off-road lower protectors, shielding vital components such as the engine, transfer case, and fuel tank. Front tow hooks come standard, while certain versions include a tow bar, control module, and electrical connection for trailers, offering an impressive towing capacity of 3,500 kg.

An Innovative Family of Engines, Transmissions, and Intelligent Drive Systems

The New Ranger introduces a cutting-edge family of high-tech engines that combine outstanding performance with remarkable efficiency. Leading the pack is the 3.0L V6 Diesel engine, delivering a commanding 250 HP and a staggering 600 Nm of torque. Its compact alloy block, consisting of iron and graphite, ensures a 75% increase in rigidity while reducing weight through the use of aluminum components. The engine also features Auto Start-Stop technology for optimal efficiency.

Joining the lineup are new 4-cylinder engines from the Panther family: a 2.0L turbodiesel producing 170 PS and 405 Nm of torque, and a 2.0L bi-turbodiesel generating 210 PS and an impressive 500 Nm of torque. These engines excel in both fuel efficiency and performance, delivering a smooth and powerful ride.

Enhancing the driving experience, the New Ranger offers two all-new transmission options: a 6-speed manual paired with the 2.0L turbodiesel and a 10-speed automatic, shared with the F-150, coupled with the twin-turbo and V6 variants. The 10-speed automatic transmission introduces new features such as the "Skipshift" function. The steering system incorporates electrical assistance and active capabilities, reducing vibrations and enabling customizable responses based on the driver's input and driving mode.

Unleashing Off-Road Prowess with Intelligent 4WD Systems

The New Ranger takes its legendary on and off-road capabilities to new heights with its intelligent 4WD system featuring a transfer case. Drivers can choose from the following options:

1. 4x2 (2H): Ideal for street and highway driving, power is sent to the rear wheels only.
2. 4x4 High (4H): Engages all four wheels, providing increased traction for winter conditions and off-road terrains like snow, sand, or mud.
3. 4x4 Low (4L): Delivers power to all four wheels with additional gears for enhanced torque multiplication, ensuring optimal performance in low-traction surfaces. Ideal for demanding off-road applications such as deep sand, steep slopes, or heavy hauling.
4. Automatic 4x4 (4A): Intelligently distributes traction between the front and rear axles based on road adhesion conditions, delivering an extra level of security.

Furthermore, the New Ranger incorporates an electronic locking rear differential, providing superior traction capacity in challenging terrains, particularly rocky environments. A Terrain Management System with up to six driving modes—Normal, Eco, Tow/Haul, Slippery, Mud/Ruts, and Sand—adjusts various engine, transmission, traction, and steering parameters. Controlling off-road settings and options is made easy through an innovative "off-road display" accessed with a single button press on the center console. This display provides valuable information and enables functions like electronic descent control, differential lock, 360-camera, and more. Additionally, the screen automatically activates the front camera, enhancing visibility during off-road adventures.

An Era of Smart Technology and Immersive Digital Experience

The New Ranger represents the pinnacle of intelligence, boasting purposeful technologies that will impress customers. Across all versions, the integration of digital screens creates an immersive digital experience, further enhanced by the cutting-edge Sync 4 system, which supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The Limited Plus version offers an extraordinary 12.4" fully digital and configurable dashboard, allowing users to effortlessly view and control various pick-up functionalities without taking their hands off the wheel. Complementing this digital marvel is a vertical 12" infotainment system screen. Additional highlights, depending on the version, include an electronic parking brake, power folding rearview mirrors, rain-sensing windshield wipers, bi-zone automatic climate control with rear seat outputs, and a convenient keyless entry and ignition system.

Moreover, passengers will appreciate the wireless phone charger and multiple charging points, including USB-A and USB-C ports both in the front and rear seats, ensuring all devices remain powered up throughout the journey.

Elevating Safety Standards

The New Ranger sets a new benchmark for safety across all versions. Equipped with a comprehensive range of safety features, including 7 airbags, the pick-up ensures maximum protection for occupants. The airbag system includes front airbags for the driver and passenger, curtain airbags for both front and rear seats, side airbags for the front seats, and a driver's knee airbag.

Active safety measures include ABS brakes with EBD and EBA, traction control, and Electronic Stability Control, which incorporates Trailer Sway Monitoring and Adaptive Load Control. The V6 versions boast 4-wheel disc brakes, while the Limited variants go a step further by offering intelligent safety solutions like the tire pressure monitoring system.
