Ford Australia has expanded the MY20
Ranger ute line-up once again, with the XL Special Edition the latest addition
alongside an extra-cost Fully Loaded package for the XLT grade as well as other
new options for existing variants. Now on sale, the XL Special Edition is
available in a single variant, a 4x4 dual-cab chassis with a 197 hp/470 Nm
3.2-litre turbo-diesel five-cylinder engine and a six-speed torque-converter
automatic transmission, which is priced from AU$ 49,990 driveaway.
Over the XL grade, the XL Special Edition
adds a factory-fitted steel bull bar, an LED light bar and a fixed-head
snorkel, with the former compatible with the autonomous emergency braking (AEB)
system with pedestrian detection.
Available in showrooms from next month,
the Fully Loaded package adds AU$ 1500 to the driveaway pricing of two 4x4 XLT
dual-cab pick-up variants, with one featuring the aforementioned
engine-transmission combination and the other instead using a 210 hp/500 Nm
2.0-litre twin-turbo four-cylinder diesel and a 10-speed torque-converter
automatic. Specifically, the Fully Loaded package bundles in gloss-black
18-inch alloy wheels, leather-accented upholstery, adaptive cruise control and
park assist.
In terms of other new options, 4x4 XLs can
now be had with AU$ 500 17-inch steel wheels wrapped in all-terrain tyres
(Continental ContCrossContact), and a AU$ 1600-2000 Heavy-Duty Pack that adds the
tyre and wheel package as well as heavy-duty suspension, solid wheel nuts,
black side steps (excluding single-cab chassis) and a reversing camera
(cab-chassis only) to select variants.
Furthermore, the XLS grade can now be
optioned with black 17-inch alloy wheels for AU$ 750, while a factory-fitted
spray-in bedliner is now available for XL, XLS, Sport and XLT dual-cab pick-ups
for AU$ 300-800.
