In 2023, the Ford Ranger led the way in total inquiries. Surprisingly, in the following year, it remained a strong contender, securing the second spot in total inquiries on the AutoDeal site and claiming the top position among pickup trucks.
Two years since it launched in the Philippines, let’s revisit the Ford Ranger to find out why people can’t get enough of Ford’s midsize pickup truck.
Loaded with features
The Ford Ranger is one of the pickup trucks that marked the transition from rugged, basic workhorses to more lifestyle-oriented vehicles. Even in its most basic variant, the 4x4 XL, Ford has equipped it with a 10-inch portrait touchscreen infotainment system featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, four speakers, and USB charging ports.
Opting for the top-tier variant provides additional features, including a 12-inch portrait touchscreen infotainment system, power-adjustable driver’s seats, leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, smart keyless entry, and a variety of intelligent driver aids.
A capable powertrain
Here in the Philippines, the Ford Ranger comes with two powertrain options. The first option is a 2.0-liter Single-Turbo EcoBlue diesel engine, producing 168 hp at 3,500 rpm and 405 Nm of torque from 1,750 to 2,500 rpm. This engine is available with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission.
The higher-spec engine is a 2.0-liter Bi-Turbo EcoBlue diesel, delivering 210 hp at 3,750 RPM and 500 Nm of torque from 1,750 to 2,000 RPM. This engine, exclusively paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and an electronic rear-locking differential, is exclusive to the Wildtrak 4x4 model.
Even in its 2.0-liter powered variant, with 168 hp and 405 Nm of torque, the Ford Ranger performs exceptionally well on the road. It easily reaches highway speeds and provides confidence during overtaking maneuvers or while hauling heavy loads up steep roads. Moving up to the bi-turbo version simply enhances performance, offering even more power and an added dose of excitement.
Rugged and tough styling
The last piece of the puzzle as to why people still flock to the Ranger is, of course, its looks. The Ranger doesn’t shy away from its rugged purpose as a pickup truck, it embraces it and proudly displays it through its exterior. The Ford Ranger exudes a strong and charismatic appeal, a feature that is universally admired. The front fascia showcases bold headlights and LED running lights, giving it a commanding presence on the road. Its large grille enhances its depth and character, making it not only distinct as a vehicle but also standing out among its pickup truck rivals.
With all these factors considered—the overall package the Ford Ranger offers and the charisma it exudes—it’s no wonder it’s a fan favorite among AutoDeal buyers.
