-

FOrd Philippine­s has also launched the much-awaited next-generation Ford ranger, the smartest, most versatile, and most capable ranger ever. The next-gen ranger features improved capability and comfort, advanced technologi­es, and smart connectivi­ty that deliver new and improved experience­s to pick-up customers.

Ford Philippine­s said that the next-gen ranger will come with a five-year warranty to enhance the ownership experience. The longer warranty offering will cover the nextgen ranger for up to five years or total mileage of up to 150,000 kilometers, whichever comes first.

“we recognize that an important purchase considerat­ion for our customers is vehicle ownership. That’s why we are launching the next-gen ranger together with a longer warranty coverage to provide our customers with added protection and peace of mind. This is part of our commitment to enhance the Ford ownership experience as we continue to treat our customers like family,” shared Michael Breen, managing director, Ford Philippine­s.

New look, new capabiliti­es

Visually, the next-generation ranger is bold and confident, with a purposeful exterior that shares Ford’s global truck design DNA. The design features a defined new grille and signature C-clamp headlight treatment at the front while a subtle shoulder line down the sides incorporat­es new wheel-arches design that gives ranger a sure-footed stance. For the first time, the next-gen ranger is equipped with matrix LED headlights with Adaptive Front Lighting system for the wildtrak 4x4 variant. Consistent with the

look in front, the LED taillamps clamp onto the new tailgate, now proudly stamped with the RANGER badge.

Beneath the new body work is an upgraded chassis riding on a wheelbase 50mm longer and a track 50mm wider than the previous ranger. with new fenders and larger wheel arches, the next-gen ranger has a more dramatic, sculpted appearance.

The next-gen ranger incorporat­es several intuitive designs, making the pick-up truck more user-friendly for any lifestyle. A rear box step makes accessing the cargo area easier and safer. Clamp pockets allows users to attach timber or tools to the tailgate work bench, which can also be concealed with spring loaded caps when not in use.

in the wildtrak model, the roof rails create even more space for oversized cargo. For easier tailgate operations, the next-generation ranger has the Tailgate Lift Assist–enabling users to close the tailgate with just a light touch. Cargo organizing also comes with a new load box and tailgate protective capping for more grip and safety.

Redesigned interior and enhanced connectivi­ty

inside, the next-gen ranger is a step up from its previous iterations, using premium soft-touch materials to go with a roomy cabin. At the heart of the ranger’s connective experience is the large 10-inch or best-in-class 12-inch touchscree­n in the center stack. it complement­s the fully digital instrument panel and is loaded with Ford’s latest sync® 4A with wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto capability.
