Ranger Limited 1 D/Cab 2.0TDCi EcoBlue 170 Manual Diesel
NVS Verdict:
The macho, sure footed and powerful Ford Ranger is taking a firm grip not just on and off road, but also of the double cab market share, and the re vamped model just gets better.
What is it?
Having been given a new more masculine look Ford have revitalised the new engines with significantly better than the previous power units giving more torque, economy and reduced emissions.
It certainly commands authority with its stance and even the inside has been redesigned giving a solid feel to it. The six speed manual gearbox is standard and there is the option of the six speed automatic. Beyond the toys and the good looks there is a workhorse with an impressive braked trailer towing capacity of over 3 tonnes and also boasts a carrying capacity of 1152 kg putting some of its rivals in the shade.
The new Ford Ranger pick up offers improved fuel economy, with a more efficient powertrain range – enhanced by Auto-Start-Stop technology, new final drive ratio options and the introduction of Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS).
Ford says to expect improved mpg by as much as 17 per cent.
The improved diesel line-up features a 170PS variant of Ford’s latest 2.0 -litre EcoBlue TDCi engine – delivering increased output compared to the 125PS and 150PS engines in the previous model – and the powerful 2.0TDCi Bi Turbo TDCi unit.
Both six-speed manual and automatic transmissions are available, and customers can select four-wheel drive and two-wheel drive variants. Wildtrak models feature four-wheel drive as standard.
