Ford Philippines launched not just one but two next-gen vehicles at the same time: the all-new Ranger and the all-new Everest.
Instead of having the usual three-year/100,000km warranty, both new models come with a longer warranty offering to enhance the ownership experience. The next-gen Ranger and Everest are covered for up to five years or total mileage of up to 150,000 kilometers, whichever comes first.
Ford Ranger
The next-generation Ranger shares Ford’s global truck design DNA, featuring a new grille and signature C-clamp headlight, a subtle shoulder line that incorporates new wheel-arches design, new LED taillamps, and a tailgate stamped with the Ranger badge.
Speaking of, there’s a Tailgate Lift Assist feature that enables users to close the tailgate with just a light touch.
Inside, the roomy cabin of the truck uses premium soft-touch materials. At the heart of the Ranger’s connective experience is the large 10-inch or 12-inch touchscreen in the center stack loaded with Ford’s latest SYNC 4A with wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto capability.
The next-gen Ranger is equipped with a 360-degree camera as well as a suite of smart driver-assist technologies that include Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Lane Centering, Lane Keeping System with Road Edge Detection, Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Forward Collision Warning, Lane Keeping Aid & Lane Departure Warning, Pre-Collision Assist with Intersection, among others. It also comes with up to seven airbags.
There’s also a smart new Intelligent Oil Life Monitor feature that tells the owner when to have an oil change based on actual engine data, operating conditions, and owner driving habits.
The next-gen Ranger gives customers a choice of engines. The 2.0L Bi-Turbo mated with a 10-speed automatic transmission is available on the 4×4 Wildtrak variant (207hp, 500Nm), while the 2.0L Single Turbo (168ho, 405Nm) mated with a 6-speed automatic or manual transmission is available for the other Ranger variants.
