Last week at the Australian International Motor Show, Ford revealed the all-new Ranger. This pre-production model, turned plenty of heads with its new sleek exterior styling and the addition of a diesel variant to the range. The all-new Ranger is due at the Highway Ford showroom in 2011.

In creating the all-new Ranger, compromise was not a consideration. Drawing on the extensive knowledge and talent of the design and engineering specialists on Ford’s global team, they built it, from the ground up, with one objective in mind. To give you a pick-up truck that gives you total confidence where you really want it. In power, control, comfort and safety.  And to give all the other trucks in the world a run for their money.

Ranger sets new standards of manufacturing excellence that you notice the minute you get behind the wheel. Tough on the outside, easy on the inside, with the latest in-car technology across the range from the XL to the top-of-the range Wildtrak, in single, super or crew cabin.

Ford’s engineers keep pushing engine design forward to create fuel economy, without compromising power. The result is the unexpectedly good fuel economy and power of of Ranger’s all new 2.2-litre Ford Duratorq TDCi Diesel engine and the ultra powerful 3.2-litre Ford Duratorq TDCi Diesel engine.

While Ranger flexes its muscle with its impressive towing, payload and pick-up box volume, you don’t need to flex anything, thanks to its smooth, easy steering and handling. You’ll also like the effortless way you can change from 2WD to 4WD and back again. 

Ranger is built for safety, with a well-equipped, roomy interior, designed to make sure all the important stuff is taken care of. This includes features like an optional Rear View Camera that lets you clearly see what, or who’s, behind you. Everything’s been thought of to ensure the highest standards of care and protection.
