Ford unveils all-new global Ranger truck 26 October 2011

The new Ranger "has been designed to look powerful from every angle, echoing the toughness and capability a pickup is geared to deliver," according to Ford.

Ranger will be offered in three cab bodystyles – regular, super and double. The super cab offers a rear access panel – a four-door system, providing unobstructed access to the cabin via two forward-hinged doors and two rear-hinged access panels. The front doors and the rear panel doors link together, when closed, to provide a very strong B-pillar.

A chassis cab version without the rear load box is also available on the regular and super cab models.

To cater for a wide spectrum of customers in Europe, the Ranger will be available in four series choices – from the workhorse of the XL to a more luxurious XLT and Limited, and an overtly sporty Wildtrak.

"We tailored the Ranger series and configurations to accommodate a variety of customer applications and lifestyles around the world," says Craig Metros, chief designer of the all-new Ranger. "Each series has its own distinctive look."

And he continues: "We designed to a wide spectrum. From our fleet buyers, who expect a tough, workhorse with a hose-out interior, to the executive, who demands full leather seating with sedan appointments."
