Updated for mid-2023, the line-up now sees XLT and Sport variants receive an integrated trailer brake controller as standard and XL cab-chassis variants a rear-view camera kit.

Ford is accepting orders for its new Ranger and its Raptor flagship. Priced from $35,930, the ute range is available in single-, Super- and double-cab guises (as pick-ups and as cab chassis). 

Ford has added a heap of matte-black details, stripes and special cabin trim to its Ranger Raptor to create the even more butch Raptor X.

Priced from $66,490 plus on-road costs, the Ford Ranger Wildtrak X shares the regular Wildtrak’s standard kit list but adds a heap more visual flair.

The facelifted Ford Ranger is on its way, which will offer three powertrain packages including the new 157kW/500Nm 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engine and 10-speed transmission that was first offered in the Raptor performance flagship

Ford’s aggressively styled Ranger Raptor dual-cab ute will rocket in mid-year, powered by a new twin-turbo 2.0-litre diesel engine matched to a 10-speed automatic transmission, and sporting an updated chassis, beefier suspension and brakes.
