Selectable 4x4 lets you match any terrain

 The Ranger adapts to fit your driving style

An intelligent automatic transmission with Advanced Driver Recognition software enables a tailored driving experience according to the mode you select. For example: economy, performance, sports, uphill, downhill and towing, as well as 4x4 in high or low range.

The software ‘learns’ the driver’s style and matches it with the use of the transmission. So a relaxed driving style will deliver greater refinement and fuel economy, while a more enthusiastic driving style will be rewarded with sharper responses and a sportier feel.

 Easier, safer reversing with a rear-view camera

As standard on Wildtrak, the optional rear-facing camera displays the view behind on a screen incorporated in the rear-view mirror. This can make reversing far easier and safer and shows the tow bar for easy reversing up to a trailer.

 Sensors that take the stress out of parking

When the Ranger is in reverse (without a trailer), the radio sounds a warning if an object is located within 1.8m of the rear of the vehicle. The frequency of its beeping indicates how close the object is, making it easy to avoid. (Check models for availability.)

Cruise control makes longer drives more relaxed

Just set your desired speed via switches on the steering wheel, and let cruise control make travelling long distances less tiring. (Check models for availability)

A Trip Computer provides useful journey data

This gives you important information about your mileage, fuel consumption, speed and the outside air temperature. It also includes ‘distance to empty’: roughly how far you can go on the fuel left in the tank. This is particularly useful on long journeys or out in the wilderness somewhere.

 In-dash Satellite Navigation makes sure you get there

Just programme your destination using the in-dash buttons and get audio and visual directions, plus information about your current location and the surrounding area. The SatNav is cleverly integrated into the audio system for security. (Check models for availability)

Set one temperature for you, another for your passenger

New, contemporary styled interior

Both cab styles are now wider, giving you more headroom and shoulder room in the front than before, with rear legroom that’s equally as generous, In fact, the Double Cab version now has rear legroom that’s best-in-class.

More spacious cabs

When you’re behind the wheel, the elevated driving position adds to the feeling of space. It also gives you an unrivalled view of the road (or terrain) ahead.

 Car-like interior comfort

Enjoy the feel and comfort of high quality materials, contemporary styling, plus adjustable front seats and class-leading legroom. Whether you’re going to a business meeting, building site or beach, you’ll always travel in car-like comfort.

New adjustable front seats

 More comfortable rear seats

The new Ranger’s more spacious cabin means the rear seats in the Double Cab version now offer legroom that’s best in class. Depending on the model, there are head restraints, a centre armrest and cupholders too. On some versions, rear seats can be flipped up and secured, giving extra load space or access to under-seat stowage. And 3-point seat belts are standard on all.

A range of in-car entertainment systems (ICE)entertainment syst Choose from four levels of ICE system. The top of the range integrated unit includes a 5” colour screen, AM/FM, MP3 CD player, voice recognition, Bluetooth®, USB connectivity and Satellite Navigation.

Intuitively designed cabin Behind the wheel, you’ll notice how naturally the controls fall to hand and how easily you can read the well positioned dials and clear displays. The comfortable, elevated driving seat also puts you in a great position to see what’s ahead.

Top of the range audio system The powerful six-speaker system can play MP3 files on a CD player and delivers superb sound quality.

Lights dim gradually giving you time to adjust Theatre lighting dimming automatically and gradually dims the interior lights when the ignition is switched on.

Rain-sensing wipers Rain-sensing wipers, which are standard on some models and optional on others, offer six levels of sensitivity, springing into action automatically at the first drop of rain and increasing in speed to deal with whatever the weather can come up with. Aside from the added convenience, it’s one less thing to have to think about (model specific).

Park Assist There are rear sensors that make parking and manoeuvring both safer and easier. An audible warning helps you judge the distance between your car and any obstacle behind you, so you have complete confidence and peace of mind, particularly in tight spaces (optional extra).

FordKeyFree-System This is a convenient device that stops you having to search around for your keys. Simply walk up to the door or boot and pull the handle. Even if your key is in your pocket or bag, the system will detect its presence and unlock the vehicle and de-activate the alarm. You can, of course, use the remote control buttons to open or lock the car if you’d prefer. (optional extra).

For hands-free safety: Bluetooth® with Voice Control

 Ford Easy-Fuel, for foolproof filling-up

Wipers that automatically adjust to the rain

Sensitive rain-sensing wipers automatically start working when the first drops of rain are detected. Where these are not specified on a model, ingenious speed-sensing wipers will be fitted instead. These automatically adjust your chosen wiper speed as the vehicle’s speed changes, because the speed at which the rain collects on the windscreen will naturally change too. (Optional on XL series, standard on all other series)

 Wing mirrors that fold themselves away from harm

On Limited and Wildtrak models, power-foldable mirrors fold inwards at the push of a button or when the car is locked, to avoid accidental damage. Heated with side repeaters (indicators) and puddle lamps, they light the floor when you step out. (Check models for availability.)

 Quickclear heated windscreen puts an end to scraping

This feature allows ice to be rapidly cleared from the glass without scraping and provides swift de-fogging. Standard on XLT, Wildtrak and Limited

 Ranger automatically lights your path

Triggered by remote unlocking or the ignition being turned off, Puddle Lamps, Approach and Guide-me-home lights give you better visibility when you’re approaching or leaving the Ranger in the dark. The Puddle Lamps, which illuminate the ground next to the front doors, are available on Limited and Wildtrak. The Approach and Guide-me-home lights are available on XLT, Wildtrak and Limited.

 Lots of handy stowage space

 Easy-to-use, ultra-secure control panel

 Class-leading instrument display cluster

The new instrument cluster shows you a class-leading display of vital information: from the speedometer, tachometer and odometer to Trip Computer readings. It’s available as standard on Wildtrak.

Class-leading payload and towing capability

Towing capability in figures

 Versatile, lockable pick-up box for peace of mind

 Sturdy tie-downs for a safer load

To help carry your load safely, these tie-downs can be internal or external and the number varies according to cab type. All are DIN compliant.

 Lockable roller shutter secures and protects cargo

 Convenient 12 volt power socket

Standard on XLT, Limited and Wildtrak versions, where a bedliner is fitted, the socket is located conveniently in the pick-up box area, so you can run a fridge or other electrical appliance.

 Cargo Management System for loads of all sizes

The system has two rails (one down each side of the load box), with two adjustable cleats on each side. These can be moved along to suit the size of load.

 Secure load rest

 Integrated load box enhances design

Each cab type has a unique load box that curves slightly at the top to integrate with the cab itself. This adds to the Ranger’s bold, streamlined design.

More powerful, more economical diesel engines

New 6-speed transmissions save fuel and cut emissions

A new, smooth-shifting 6-speed manual transmission is now available; designed and engineered to complement the new diesel engine line-up. This precision system helps reduce emissions and save on fuel costs, while making for a more relaxing drive. In addition, an advanced automatic version has been precisely tuned to provide smooth but quick shifts and offer improved fuel economy.

New steering system for better manoeuvrability

 New larger wheels for optimum grip

 Five new tyre types

 Lower fuel consumption with low rolling resistance tyres

 Electricity management saves on emissions and fuel

The innovative Electrical Energy Management function supplies electric power to the Ranger and includes the generation of electric power (alternator), storage of electric energy (in the battery) and consumption control. Consumption control consists of monitoring and adjusting the consumption of electricity, for example when the engine is off, during driving (to prolong battery life) and to control engine emissions. The system can also help lower fuel consumption.

 Class-leading safety package

Stay in control whatever the conditions

Electronic Stability Programme (ESP)senses any deviations from your chosen driving line and automatically corrects your road position, helping you stay in control whatever the conditions. Below you’ll discover the benefits of the main advanced driving technologies which are part of the ESP:

 Extra control going downhill

Hill Descent Control (HDC) gives you greater control on steep downhill gradients, on and off road.

Extra control during hill starts

Hill Start Assist (HSA) stops you rolling backwards during hill starts, by maintaining braking pressure as you move your foot from brake to accelerator.

Keeping your trailer safely in line

Continuous protection against rolling over

Maximum grip with minimum effort

By precisely controlling the way engine torque is delivered to the wheels, the Ranger’s Traction Control System (TCS) provides better traction, acceleration and stability on loose and slippery surfaces. This also helps prevent wheelspin.

A tougher body for maximum protection Ranger’s superior body construction provides a protective shield, which directs the crash force away from the occupants. In addition, the new higher waistline and side intrusion bars increase protection from side impact.

Advanced systems for more controlled braking A combination of ABS and electronic brake-force distribution (EBD), this advanced system delivers safe, effective braking and steering stability, crucially when braking mid corner. It also improves short distance stopping, whatever the conditions.

Airbags to shield you from all angles Driver and passenger airbags are standard on the new Ranger. There are also new side curtain and thorax airbags and an inflatable knee booster. The side curtain airbags protect against head level impacts against the side windows. While the thorax airbags protect from side impacts at lower door level.

Advanced technology for more effective seatbelts Seat belts are fitted to both front seats and to all three rear seats in the Double Cab. The driver and front passenger seat belt retractors have seat belt pretensioners. These are designed to keep you and your passengers firmly in your seats so the airbags will be more effective, and will sometimes activate alone during minor collisions.

Preventing injury by the passenger airbag Passenger Airbag Deactivation allows the deactivation of the passenger airbag when it could cause harm, for example when you’re fitting a child seat on the front passenger seat.

Seat belt reminder system for added safety This illuminates and a warning sounds if the driver's and or the passenger’s seat belt isn’t fastened and the vehicle is moving.

Safer seats for smaller travellers The safety, comfort and protection of your children are paramount. That’s why you’ll find ISOFIX child seat attachments are available as standard. They include top tether anchorage, which significantly reduces the chance of head injury in an accident.

Collapsible steering column helps prevent driver injury The steering column collapses into the dashboard, which can help minimise the potential risk of injury on impact.

Headlights that turn on automatically when needed When the light is poor (day or night) the headlamps automatically come on at low beam. They turn off when the ambient lighting improves, for example when coming out of a tunnel, or when the engine is turned off. (Check models for availability.)
