The Ford Ranger Tradie has launched in Australia, joining the XL Special Edition, XLS Sport, XLT FX4 Max and Wildtrak X in the pickup truck’s range. Based on the Ranger XL 4×4 Double Cab Pick-Up, it features several factory-fitted accessories, such as an LED light bar, black nudge bar, black side steps, tow bar, protective bedliner and unique 16-inch black alloy wheels. Customers can get it in Arctic White to complement the dark exterior accents, or in True Red, Meteor Grey, Aluminum Silver, Blue Lightning and Shadow Black.
The SYNC 3 infotainment system with an
8-inch touchscreen display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and remote vehicle
access via the dedicated app that allows owners to check the status, start the
engine, lock or unlock the doors, and pre-heat or pre-cool the cabin by using
their smartphones, are standard.
The Ranger XL Tradie is powered by a
3.2-liter five-cylinder turbodiesel. The engine is coupled to a six-speed
automatic transmission and four-wheel drive and produces 200 PS and 470 Nm of torque.
Ford is offering the XL Tradie Edition for
a limited time, with a recommended retail price of AU$ 52,190 (US$ 40,428). It is accompanied by a 5-year / unlimited
kilometer warranty, and has 12-month / 15,000-km service
intervals, with the A and B log-book services being set at a maximum of AU$ 299
(US$ 231) per service for the first 4 years / 60,000 km.
