Ford Ranger
Talk about getting the job done "quick smart."
From day one, the Ford Ranger has established its credentials and quickly earned a reputation for hard work. Why wouldn't it? The Ranger is the latest in a long line of tough Ford trucks. Boasting impressive new looks, the Ranger is better, tougher and more versatile than ever before, and there is a range of engines that are more than powerful enough to handle the toughest jobs you've got going. Leading the way is the awesome new Ranger Wildtrak which is equally at home taking a client to the worksite as it is loading up the family for a weekend away camping. Go beyond Ranger's rugged exterior and you'll find an interior that is just as luxurious as a family sedan, and just as easy to drive.
Legendary versatility.
The Ranger was designed for more than just hard work. You'll discover that when the day is over 'play time' begins and a whole world of possibilities opens up.
Gone are the days when a truck was all work and no play. You'll quickly find one of the Ranger's best features is its versatility, because regardless of whether you're loading up the dirt bikes or packing up the family and the camping gear to enjoy the great outdoors for the weekend, Ranger has what it takes to tackle the big weekend with as much gusto as a hard day's work.
Genuine 4x4 credentials.
The Ranger lets you get on with the job at hand no matter how tough the terrain gets.
It's always good to know the moment things get rough underfoot you're not compromised by your vehicle's off-road capabilities. It's the reason why Ranger, with its high & low range gearbox, limited slip differential and shift on the fly capabilities, packs genuine 4x4 credentials. So when work takes you to some tough terrain or you are heading for that fishing spot in the bush, the Ford Ranger won't let you down. What's more, the Ranger's rugged exterior is well supported by tough and durable suspension that has been designed specifically for Australian conditions.
Tough to beat.
Ranger is one business tool that can handle just about anything the worksite dishes up.
Business can be tough and that's why you need a truck that's up to the job. While the muscular bold lines, sure footed stance and a host of stand-out exterior features such as the 3-bar grille and the aggressive power bulge in the bonnet tells you Ranger means business, the sedan-like interior means your clients or workmates travel in genuine comfort. Under the hood the hard working truck credentials are equally impressive. While boasting an abundance of power, the Ranger's turbo diesel engines help drive down your fuel costs and that's always good for business.
Play time.
Ranger delivers all the power you need to make the most of every minute away from work.
It's true to say that when it comes to trucks, a proud history counts for plenty, and the Ranger more than deserves to wear the Ford badge.The moment you lay eyes on the Ranger you know it loves hard work, however it's also good to know that when it comes time for some well-earned R&R, like hooking up the boat for a fishing trip, it's equally up to the job. Leading the way is the 3.0L high pressure common rail turbo diesel. It delivers 115kW of power at 3200rpm and a whopping 380Nm of torque at only 1800rpm, while fuel economy comes in at 9.5L/100km*. The 2.5L diesel gives even better fuel economy at just 8.5L/100km*, yet you'll still have 330Nm of torque at 1800rpm.
A reliable workforce.
Regardless of how hard the task at hand is, Ranger is the trusted worker that every business can rely on.
With a 1 tonne payload across the range and the grunt to tow massive loads, Ranger has really earned its legendary reputation. Look at the facts and you appreciate that whatever you dish up to the Ranger it'll just keep on coming back for more. With payloads of up to 1383kg,* a 2.25 tonne towing capacity on 2.5L models and a huge 3 tonne towing capacity^ on 3.0L manuals, Ranger will be able to move just about anything. While boasting an abundance of pulling power, the Ranger's turbo diesel engines are also smart. The high pressure common rail diesel platform gives you excellent fuel economy, and direct injection technology means loads of torque and powerful acceleration throughout the rev range, under all manner of load and towing conditions.
Ranger Hi-Rider.
When the terrain gets a whole lot tougher you can depend on the Ranger Hi-Rider to get the job done.
Leave the bitumen at a worksite or decide to make an unscheduled detour off the beaten track and you could find yourself in trouble negotiating the terrain when it becomes more challenging. If you need extra ground clearance but don't want the extra cost of a 4X4, you can't go past the 4x2 Ranger Hi-Rider. You'll still enjoy all the hard working truck benefits that Ranger is renowned for, as well as being able to take all manner of rugged terrain in your stride.
A very business-like interior.
There's no place like the interior of the Ranger to make work as comfortable as possible.
With such legendary levels of comfort, the Ranger is the smart way to work. It starts the moment you get behind the wheel with ergonomically designed seats to make every journey more comfortable. The stylish instrument panel design, including the new multi-meter cluster on the Wildtrak, short throw gearshift and a host of convenient and clever storage solutions, such as the slide-out tray above the glove compartment add to the package. Plus, to give you a hand when Ranger doubles as an office there are two 12-volt DC accessory sockets that enable you to charge your mobile phone* and run your lap top computer! Add it all up and it's easy to see that nothing improves working conditions like a Ranger.
Car-like interior.
The impressive list of car-like features means that in a Ranger getting to and from work has never been so comfortable.
Slide behind the wheel and you quickly realise that when you travel in the Ranger everybody gets to ride in genuine comfort. While the Ranger is tough on the outside, the inside is another story altogether. The spacious cabin looks and feels just like a family sedan, and the ride is just as smooth. Plus the obvious quality and craftsmanship that has gone into all the interior finishes will take you by surprise. What's more, power windows, power side mirrors, central locking, engine immobiliser and remote keyless entry are all standard across the range. Add to this an entertainment system featuring a powerful stereo with MP3 compatible CD player and 6-disc CD capacity on Wildtrak and XLT models and you have a complete package that's tough to beat.
Amongst the safest in its class.
Whether it happens to be work or play, you can rest assured that Ranger is looking after you and your passengers.
Ranger's high levels of safety start with a superior body construction that is designed to disperse crash forces away from the vehicle's occupants. And on the Super Cab model, the front door and rear access panel close to form a virtual B-Pillar, which is far stronger than the conventional B-Pillar. Driver and front passenger airbags are now standard across the range while front side head/thorax airbags are now standard on XLT and Wildtrak models. (Front Side Airbags are available as part of the optional safety pack on XL Super and Crew Cab models). Add to that, four wheel ABS with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD),^ load-sensing seatbelt pretensioners and an optional bull bar that is fully airbag compatible. Rest assured, whether you're loaded up with workmates or the family, Ranger doesn't compromise when it comes to safety.

Working hard, playing hard, or both, the extensive and versatile selection of models means there's a Ranger that's just right for your needs.
Ranger really spoils you for choice. All up there are 17 models available and leading the way is the awesome Wildtrak. On the outside Wildtrak boasts some serious style with 18" alloy wheels, unique sports bar and box rails, roof rails and a roller shutter.There's also an integrated bedliner and a handy 12-volt power socket. The Wildtrak breaks new ground on the inside, too.
