The
all-new Ford Ranger made its worldwide debut at the Australian International
Motor Show, Sydney as the latest addition to a wave of global vehicles being
introduced by Ford.
Built
on innovation, it boasts a list of technologies and features including a new
rear-view camera system, Voice Control, Trailer Sway Control and Adaptive Load
Control.
|  | The new Ranger will be available in three different cab body styles,
4x2 and 4x4 drivetrains, two ride heights and four series choices.
Ranger introduces new diesel engines: a new
Dagenham-built 2.2-litre Ford Duratorq
TDCi I4 diesel engine
with peak torque of 375Nm and power output of 110kW (150PS) and a
highly responsive and efficient new 3.2-litre, Ford Duratorq TDCi I5
diesel engine with a powerful 470Nm of
torque and power rated at 147kW (200PS).
The all-new Ranger four-wheel drive models are
equipped with a well-proven electronically controlled transfer case that allows
drivers to shift from 4x2 to 4x4 anytime via an electronic switch conveniently
located on the console. If extra torque or additional downhill braking is
needed, low range gearing can also be enabled.
The
cargo box of the new Double Cab is more than 100mm wider than before - 1,549mm
long by 511mm high and with a maximum cargo width of 1,560mm. Volume is an
impressive 1.21 cubic metres. |
