Ford Philippines is expanding its local lineup with its latest addition – the Ford Ranger FX4 4x4. The new variant will help boost the off-roading capabilities of the Blue Oval’s trucks in the country. Originally launched in January of 2020, the Ford Ranger FX4 was only made available with a 4x2 drivetrain. It came onto the scene with a unique design, refined interior, along with a slew of smart and safe features that help widen the appeal of the Ranger lineup.

The Ford Ranger FX4 4x4 is an exciting addition to our Ranger lineup as we continue to complement and enable a diverse range of customer needs and lifestyles. It is a fully-loaded truck with a competitive pricing that will strengthen our position in the 4x4 pickup segment.
