Ford Australia has lifted the Ranger utility’s towing capacity from 3,350
kg to 3,500 kg* on TDCi-powered 4x2 Hi-Rider and 4x4 models, making it equal class-leading in the segment. Gross
Combination Mass has also increased by 50 kg.
Since its launch in October 2010, Ford has sold more than 15,000 Rangers.
Impressive capability
All 21 Ranger models, including the range-topping Wildtrak, have been engineered and tested to face the toughest
challenges in more than 180 markets globally. Ranger’s towing and water-wading capabilities are among some of the best in
its segment.
Apart from the capacity to tow up to 3,500 kilogrammes (TDCi-powered 4x2 Hi-Rider and 4x4 models only), the 4x4 and
4x2 Hi-Rider models also have the capability to wade through up to 800 millimetres of water even when fully laden.
