Ranger & Raptor priced for Australia
FORD Australia has announced the local pricing of its Ranger and Ranger Raptor model range this week with the starting price of the heavily revised light-commercial utility range up $1040 to start from $35,930 plus on-road costs.
The flagship Raptor variant – now powered by a gutsy turbocharged petrol V6 engine – rises by a similar increment, up $6100 to $85,490 plus on-road costs.
The 2022 Ford Ranger line-up now begins with the XL 4x2 single-cab 2.0-litre SiT (single-turbo diesel) High Rider, replacing the previous XL 4x2 single-cab 2.2-litre turbo-diesel as the entry point into the range.
Compared to the equivalent outgoing model, the XL entry variant is just $1040 dearer (see full model range pricing below).
The XL range is offered with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine matched to a six-speed automatic, or a twin-turbocharged version of the same unit hooked up to a 10-speed auto.
Ranger XLS double-cab variants (from $46,730) are offered exclusively with the twin-turbo 2.0-litre and 10AT combination, while XLT (from $53,990) and Wildtrak models (from $67,190) are offered with both the four-cylinder twin-turbo and 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6, both with the 10-speed automatic as standard.
As detailed at GoAuto News previously, the 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel gives the Ranger 184kW of power at 3250rpm and 600Nm of torque from 1750-2250rpm. The twin-turbo ‘four’ makes 154kW at 3750rpm and 500Nm from a narrow 1750-2000rpm, while the single-turbo diesel will offer 125kW at 3500rpm and 405Nm between 1750-2500rpm.
Meanwhile, the Ranger Raptor – now with a petrol engine for the first time – will develop 292kW and 583Nm from its twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 displacing 3.0 litres. The Raptor is likewise offered as standard with Ford’s 10AT gearbox, meaning there is no manual gearbox offered in the 2022 Ford Ranger line-up.
Ford Australia president and CEO, Andrew Birkic, said the new model line-up offers improved value for money to Ranger customers with significantly improved technology, safety and capability across the range.
“The 2022 Ranger is a world-class vehicle, with significant leaps forward in technology, safety and capability across the range,” said Mr Birkic.
“Ranger is an award-winning vehicle, and we expect this next-generation model to raise that standard.
“This is excellent news for our customers, as thanks to the great steps forward for the vehicle, the 2022 Ranger line-up offers a vehicle for every customer, for work, family or play.”
Locally, the light-commercial utility segment is led by the strong-selling Toyota HiLux which currently dominates both the pick-up / cab-chassis 4x2 and pick-up / cab-chassis 4x4 segments. In the former, HiLux boasts year-to-date sales of 1251 over the two-wheel drive Ranger’s 735 unit sales (to the end of March 2022).
HiLux also has the jump on the four-wheel drive portion of the popular segment with year-to-date unit sales of 11,057 over second-place Mitsubishi Triton (9511) and third-place Ranger (8925).
The new Ford Ranger is available for order now.
