2016 Ford Ranger: facelift and beyond
Okay so we've established the new Ranger is not quite as pretty as the outgoing model, and that it will definitely reach our shores soon. Here are the details.
The Ranger gets new engines and transmission mountings, calibrations and an all new mechanism for the manual model. It'll have a new Electric Power Assisted Steering system that smooths out the driving experience on roads and off road, and makes everything more lively. Overall, the fuel economy figures for the Ranger has seen slight improvements over the outgoing model, but that probably won't make much of a difference in the real world.
The base model is the XL, with single cab models powered by a 2.2 litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine, more likely to be popular as company cars and government lot purchases. The turbo-diesel offers a huge amount of torque. The XLT model and the dual cab XL Ranger will get a 3.2 litre five-cylinder turbo-diesel, which offers even more horsepower and torque. Bangladesh will most likely get both variants, which is good.
The Ranger is supposedly more refined, quiet and efficient than ever before. We can't know for sure till the 2016 Ranger arrives and we get our hands on one for a test drive, so watch this space.
