Introduction Of Ford Ranger 2022 fully Revealed
Ford Ranger 2022 fully Revealed. The newt 6.2 ford ranger which is set to arrive here in Australia in the middle of 2022 largely based on the same t6 platform that has underpinned the ford ranger midsize pickup as ford calls.
New Ford Ranger We’ll Come Back To The Radically Differentiated Design
It since 2011 the t 6.2 is 50 mils wider than the t 6.1 and several of the hardpoints have changed the front wheels are 50 millimeters further towards the front of the car largely because fords say that under the skin.
They’ve targeted a more consistent ride quality on-road and better articulation for superior off-roading but that only scratches the surface of the changes to the new ford ranger we’ll come back to the radically differentiated design in a minute.
The big one that everyone has been waiting for is the confirmation of v6 power for the ranger a three-liter turbo diesel v6 will be offered on high specification versions of the ranger and not just the raptor.
Ford Hasn’t Confirmed Specific Outputs
This wild track pictured is going to get it as well ford hasn’t confirmed specific outputs but they’re very likely to be 190 kilowatts of power and 600-newton meters of torque with the 3-liter power stroke diesel taken out of service from the ford of America f-150 large pickup truck.
That we don’t get here in Australia the three-liter v6 is a product of the ford psa lion powertrain group so it’s seen service here in Australia before in 2.7 liter capacity in the territory SUV but also as a three-liter v6 in plenty of jaguars and land rover products as well as Peugeot and Citroen cars so.
There’s quite a lot of provenance behind this three-liter it isn’t an all-new design but that’s not exactly surprising given the trajectory that diesel engines are on in much of the world that being said v6 diesel utes in vehicles like the Volkswagen Amarok have been quite a hit here in Australia and undoubtedly.
The Ranger A Lift In 6.2 Form
It is going to give the ranger a lift in 6.2 form when it arrives in about six months ford was very keen to talk up the effortless performance of the v6 diesel in the online reveal of the t 6.2 ranger but it will be joined in the market by a 2-liter turbo diesel 4 cylinder both in familiar by turbo guys.
Where it will probably continue to make 157 kilowatts of power and 500-newton meters of torque but it will also come in a new single turbo layout replacing the 2.2-liter four-cylinder diesel entry point of the t 6.1 ranger while.
There was no mention of the outgoing 3.2 liter 5-cylinder which has now likely been retired some variants of the ranger will continue to be rear-wheel drive and there is.
The Ranger Continues To Be Developed
A classic passive four-wheel-drive system available but high specification ranges will now move to an automated four-wheel-drive system that can be left in 4a mode all the time much like on a Mitsubishi triton.
Its super select system or an all-wheel-drive Volkswagen Amarok no more driving around on tarmac in two-wheel drive while having to change to four-wheel drive on the rough stuff instead it intelligently allocates torque front and rear as necessary.
A 10-speed automatic transmission will be exclusively paired to the v6 diesel while the four cylinders will have a choice of manual and automatic while it’s built-in in Thailand for Australia the ranger continues to be developed right here down under ford Australia in Melbourne.
The Ranger That’s Impossible To Ignore
The entire suspension was done here and ford has targeted more consistent ride quality on-road whether the vehicle is laden or not specifics like payload and towing have not yet been confirmed for the t 6.2 though we don’t expect major changes in this area.
Over the t 6.1 however, in terms of the payload, you can fit in the vehicle the 50-millimeter increase to the track and the overall width of the vehicle means you can now get a pallet in between the wheel arches of the tray.
That’s likely something Volkswagen insisted upon who are sharing the t 6.2 platform for the second-generation Amarok that launches sometime after the ranger here in Australia but one thing about the ranger that’s impossible to ignore is the.
The 6.2 Ranger Will Be Unmissable
New built forward tough design language of this vehicle completely changing the aesthetic of the t 6.1 to a fascia that is far bolder more aggressive and arguably more American the t 6.2 ranger will be unmissable when it hits the road here in Australia ford have released studio photographs of a base xl the xls.
The xlt and the wild track while another raptor is coming and will be discussed at a later date but really across the range the ranger looks beefier and bolder than ever before with this orange wild track in particular wearing.
The new styling is particularly well in my opinion it may look like things like the doors carry over but they haven’t there’s a pretty dramatic restyling of the vehicle from all areas and even things like the amount of visual weight and heft of the metal over.
The T6.2 Ranger Gets An Interior Set
The rear wheel arch has been reduced making this look kind of leaner while yet more aggressive and muscular moving inside the t 6.2 ranger gets an interior set to see it through to the end of the decade dominated by a 12-inch vertical touchscreen.
The ranger moves up in terms of technological sophistication while high specification variants have a considerable additional amount of soft-touch materials ford says reflecting the fact that variants like the xlt are increasingly purchased by people for significant private use rather than just using.
The ranger speaking of seeing this vehicle through to the end
It is for commercial purposes or on the worksite that being said more rough and ready durable entry-level variants will continue to be offered on the ranger speaking of seeing this vehicle through to the end of the decade the t 6.2 platform.
That underpins this new ranger as well as the next Everest and the American market ford bronco is fully capable of electrification and ford says they’ll have more to say about future propulsion technologies for the ranger at a later date.
But we’ll likely see an electric ranger either as a full battery electric vehicle or some kind of sophisticated hybrid in the coming years ford openly acknowledges that this is a response to both changing custom and demand.
Electrified ranger in many markets
They say customers who might own a hybrid or a full ev already will expect the same thing from their u in the future it’s also a response to what ford says are changing legislative requirements which will mean that they have to sell an electrified ranger in many markets possibly even here in Australia so.
We’re very likely to get a hybrid or electric ranger in the future the t 6.2 ranger will be built in Thailand for Australia and will launch in our market in mid-2022 according to ford’s local communications boss now i’ll be interacting hands-on with the new ranger very shortly and I’ll bring you a full walk-around of what I see at that point but for now, hopefully, this is a bit of a snack telling you more about the 2022 ford ranger on the t 6.2 platform.
