History

First presented at the Detroit Motor Show, and the latest Ford Ranger was presented at the Bangkok International Motor Show on March 25, 2015, which is an extensive facelift of the previous model.

New features include the 2.2-liter TDCi diesel engine with four cylinders, automatic start-stop, voice assistance, lane assist and rear-view camera as well as downhill control and hill-start assist. The Ford SYNC-2 system now includes the Emergency Call Assistant. As of September 2016, all models will have an SCR system and thus comply with the Euro 6 emissions standard .

The Ranger has a load of 3500 kg . For rear-wheel drive models, the four-cylinder engines with 96 kW (130 hp) and the four-cylinder engines with 118 kW (160 hp) in combination with manual transmission and consumption-optimized axle ratio, this is reduced to 2500 kg.

Third Phase from 2018

In 2018 , the Ranger III was restyled a second time and was first marketed in the United States. And 2019 to see this third phase land in European countries, with more technical than stylistic changes. Indeed, only the front bumper is affected, with a redesigned outline of the front fog lights. As for engines, the Ford Ranger will ignore the 2.2-liter and 3.2-liter DuraTorq TDCi shortly after the release of phase 3, to leave a 2.0 EcoBlue available in several power levels. The latter can be coupled to a new automatic gearbox, inaugurated on the Ford Mustang. It should also be noted the appearance of LED headlights in this final phase, replacing halogen lighting that deemed to be too weak.

On the commercial vehicle show in Birmingham, UK in April 2018, Ford,presented the special model Wildtrak X. Powered by a 3.2-liter five-cylinder diesel engine rated at 147 kW (200 hp), the power is transmitted to all four wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. The Wildtrak X is available with a double cabin and painted in the color Performance Blue , some body and attachments and the rims are in black color. The black leather seats have gray stitching.
