FORD RANGER FX4 WORK OR PLAY!

The return of the Ranger FX4 to the line-up, now with the Bi-turbo powertrain as standard, brings customers a unique new model instantly recognisable by its an ‘all-black’ mesh grille, darkened BI-LED headlights, exclusive 18-inch mesh alloy wheels and an Fx4-specific extended matt black sports bar.

Inside the cab dedicated FX4 leather-accented seats front and rear are red-stitched to stand out, a feature also used on the steering wheel, gear selector and padded, soft-touch instrument panel surround.

The FX4 is based on the volume-selling, highly equipped Ranger

XLT double-cab, and equipped with the new 157kw/500nm 2.0 litre/ four-cylinder Bi-turbo engine and specifically tuned, new generation 10-speed automatic transmission first introduced on the Ford Performance Ranger Raptor

The 10-speed automatic includes a special lock-out feature to hold specific gears when towing, giving the Ranger FX4 Bi-turbo a towing capacity of 3500Kg braked and boasts a fuel efficiency figure of 6.7 litres/100km combined for the 2WD and 7.4 litres/100km combined on the 4WD.

The Ranger FX4 Bi-turbo sits between the Ranger XLT and Ranger Wildtrak models, and in addition to the Fx4-specific appointments, the Ranger FX4 Bi-turbo brings standard cabin features including

SYNC 3 with voice-activated sat-nav, Apple Carplay and Android Auto1 smartphone compatibility, a full-colour reversing camera and digital instrumentation.

It also gets a sector-leading pack of driver assist technology which includes autonomous emergency braking (AEB) with pedestrian detection, lane keeping aid (LKA) with lane departure warning and driver alert, traffic sign Recognition and Automatic high/low-beam select headlights.

The Ranger FX4 Bi-turbo is backed by Ford’s five-year or 150,000 kilometre factory warranty and is now available alongside the full 2020.25MY Ford Ranger line-up in Ford dealerships across the country.
