Pricing for the all-new Ford Ranger ute has been announced, along with the various trim levels and engine specifications that will be available.

The all-new Ford Ranger will be available in three different model variants and in three cab styles: single cab, super cab and double cab.

Making up the entry-level range is the Ford Ranger XL. It will come with 16-inch steel wheels, MP3/iPod compatible stereo, a 4.2-inch multi-function display, power windows and cruise control.

Next in the range is the Ford Ranger XLT. This will come with 17-inch alloy wheels, rain-sensing wipers, rear parking sensors, a polished roll bar, tow bar, cooled centre console box, dual-zone climate control, and a tray bedliner with a 12-volt socket for the double cab variants.

Topping out the range is the Ford Ranger Wildtrak, which is available only as a double cab. The Wildtrak features 18-inch alloy wheels, leather upholstery, power adjustable and heated front seats, a five-inch satellite navigation system with rear-view camera, and a sporty front bar and roof rails.

Each variant will be available with an optional Hi-Rider pack which will give models a higher ground clearance as well as a volumetric alarm, special decals (on the super cab versions) and front seat side and curtain airbags (super cab and double cab models).

Importantly, all variants will come with dynamic stability control as standard, along with traction control, ABS brakes with emergency brake assist and an emergency brake light which flashes under emergency braking.

Three engines will be available on the new model: a 3.2-litre Duratorq TDCi five-cylinder turbo-diesel producing 147kW and 470Nm, a 2.2-litre Duratorq TDCi four-cylinder turbo-diesel producing 110kW and 375Nm, and a 2.5-litre Duratec four-cylinder petrol engine producing 122kW and 226Nm.

The new Ford Ranger will go on sale from next month, kicking off with the 3.2-litre models, and then all other variants released from October through until the first quarter of 2012. Pricing for the new Ford Ranger will be as follows (manufacturer’s list price, excluding on-road costs):

Thats a big price hike for the Diesel work ute.
$23740+$3000orc+$1500tray.

Thats nearly $30000 for a work ute.

What do Ford think they are sell, a slowlux
- Andrew M
  
  The Hilux is 27K plus onroad plus tray.
  Thats over 30K for a work ute with less features than the Ranger.
  
  I think you are just out of touch with ute prices.
  - Eric
    
    Not out of touch.
    
    The current Ranger is $22000 dive away incl tray.
    
    CA above says the base ute is $23740+,+,+
    - Andrew M
      
      The rrp of the current ranger base diesel is 24,500 plus tray and on road.
      
      22K is the sale run out price, so yes, you are out of touch
- The Truth
  
  At first I was like many hear and though the prices seemed high, so I though I do some online and phone enquires to the competition and here is what I’ve found;
  Amarok TDI400 Ultimate AWD = $58,490 + Dealer delivery & on raod costs comes to $63,490.00 (does not have all the equipment, power and features of the Wildtrack).
  Navara ST-X 550 Dual Cab Premium = $67,675.00 Driveway (but lacks many of the features the Ranger XLT has, let alone the Wildtrack).
  Triton 2.5 TD GLX-R = $54,164 Driveaway. (But is not eaven close the features of the XLT Dual cab 4×4 in standard trim).
  Toyota SR5 $55,590.00 + Dealer delivery & on road = $56,179.00 (It lacks the safety, power, and onboard technology of the XLT and is even further behind the Wildtrack).
  So … although many hear may not be happy with the prices, it turns out that considering the Ranger is the newest and most sophisiticated and capable 4×4 on the market today, the prices compared to the less well optioned competition are not bad at all, and it seems better than a lot of them. But where the real difference are most apparent is not in the top end of the line, but further down, where Toyota, Mitsubishi, Nissan and even Amarok have nowhere near the amount of standard gear as the Ranger, and in fact, in most of them, you can even option them up to have the same safety and technology, as it’s just not available at all ….. So … rather than complain, you should congratulate Ford for lifting the bar so much higher than it used tio be.
JEKYL & HYDE

why bother with rec retails.ford ain’t selling any 4×4 single cabs at $40k inc tray ex onroads.and a wildtrack auto at 60k plus onroads when the previous model was $42k,spare me…
- Sumpguard
  
  …and they still have some in stock if anyone is interested. I agree this is waaaaaay overpriced.
  - Sumpguard
    
    …but far better looking than the BT50!
- me-all-day
  
  Ford seems to believe they are now a premium brand with their pricing. Checkout the LPI Falcon, The new Focus and now this. All in an ecconomic downturn.
  All I say is tell ‘em they’re dreamin’!
  - Andrew M
    
    Are you saying their product isnt worth what everyone else charges or just the badge??
    Ranger, Focus, LPI etc are all now top of the class.
CS

Prices pretty good – if your a Ford dealer. If you are the buyer – then ouch..maybe Toyota/Mitsubishi mid-range is a better proposition.
f

I have a feeling the Ford people will be launching this truck with a massive discount incentive with barely any selling at full RRP regardless of the nice spec.
Pauly

First the Focus with its premium prices and now the Ranger?

The Focus was slightly justifyable since it comes from Germany. But the Ranger comes from Thailand…. a country which Australia has free trade with…

Common Ford… Dont go and pull a Honda Australia on us, or you will end up exactly where they are at the moment.
- Pete
  
  What do you mean, Ford sales are already free falling
  Good way to piss off the punters by charging like a wounded bull
Alex

No one pays RRP on trucks like these, and no one pays GST either so you can wipe 5-8K off those prices instantly.

These are not aimed at Mum’s and Dad’s, its for business and industry/trade. They are great value and will be great competition.

Spoilt for choice in the is country for pickups.
- 5135
  
  So that makes it alright to jack up prices?
  
  Btw, GST is 10%. If 8k is GST, then unless the car has a list price of $80k, I don’t see how they can wipe $8k off it.
  
  Btw2, they might be targeted at business but go have a look who actually buys them.
- Mark
  
  I’m not a fan of ford high pricing and heavy discounting.
  
  Why can’t they just price them closer to the actual price they sell them for?
  - Baddass
    
    Because when the dealer knocks off 5k ‘just for you’ (when actually that’s the price he was always going to sell it for) it makes you think that the dealers are honest and to keep shopping there in the future.

Saw one on the road already in Box Hill on Saturday, I think it was the Wildtrak
- Meldan12
  
  it would not be a wildtrack as they only started building after easter.
Jp

Anyone who pays rrp is a muppet, but given the amount of standard gear the price is not unexpected.
CJ

Love the new Ranger and was considering the 4×4 Wildtrak but the price is bordering on stupid! $15k is overboard for some heated seats, sat nav and camera. Sorry Ford, unless you are prepared to give some heavy discounting, I might wait for the Colorado release in 2012.
Jazrod

Miles better than any other 4×4 utility on the market (even the Amarok) and not to mention that 5cyl diesel is an incredibly awesome little performer.
Also looks better.
My opinion, anyway . . .
Jp

Do u honestly think Colorado is gonna b cheaper?
- Michael
  
  Now that Ford has released it’s pricing, I bet they do!
goodjjp

I cant believe people worry about price
Pop in toyota dealer and check hilux 4×4 dual cab price
You have to pay upto 55k for top range one..

Actual problem is all cars in Australia is just overpriced…
- K
  
  You haven’t read the article about the Hilux have you?
Y

They should have used the grille design from the Ford F-series trucks.
Seano

You all talk crap, this is a game changer, this is what twin can 4×4 should have been for years!!! Thank God it’s finally here!!!!!! Though I’ll buy the BT50 if it’s cheaper!
Richo

My Triton is nearly ready to run out on lease so I don’t think I will be rushing in to buy one at this price. $59,390 for the auto Wildtrak is getting very hefty. I think the chaps at Ford have mistaken interest for willingness to be shafted. Did anyone notice how ridiculously low the tow bar hangs on the ute on display at the Melbourne show?
- Andrew M
  
  Richo,
  Have a look again at what you get, and then the RRP of the others. Dont complain about the tow bar height untill you see how the trailer sits. It can be sometimes deceptive.
  One of my blokes has a courier ute, and I bet him the towbar on my XR6 ute sits higher…. to his surprise it was deceptive and My Falcons bar sits higher.
  Morale of story….dont be too quick to judge.
  
  And also, the XLT gives you standard Towbar in that price. there is $1000 straight up for a factory HD bar, I bet you had to pay extra for the tritons bar.
  
  The triton is the best valued at the moment, but dont forget its been on a big discount for a while now.
  Anyone with an ABN will get 10K straight off the XLT price straight up.
  
  An SR5 for eg doesnt have half the kit the XLT does.
  an SR5 is 54K with a torque less motor and poor kit.
  
  the GLX triton is 48K with less torque yet again, and less kit.
  Just read this again…….
  rain-sensing wipers, rear parking sensors, a polished roll bar, tow bar, cooled centre console box, dual-zone climate control, and a tray bedliner with a 12-volt socket for the double cab variants.
  
  The only thing off the top of my head the triton has is the roll bar.
  
  when you be comparitive the Hilux is a rip off, but for a little more over the triton, you do get a fair bit more kit especially when you count an extra 70nm and an extra gear
  - Aquahead
    
    Sorry to burst your bubble, but the PX Ranger factory tow bar is very low when compared to the existing factory PK Ranger tow bar. Ground clearance at the new PX Ranger tow bar’s lowest point (the cross bar & hitch receiver) is 370mm measured and for the PJ/PK Ranger factory tow bar it is 450mm to the lowest point (bottom of the hitch receiver) and 510mm for the cross bar.
    
    You can easily see they have lowered the whole bar as they have had to turn the hitch over to raise the ball height to something acceptable.
    
    Departure angle is 7 degrees worse off than the non towbar XL models of the new Ranger.
    
    Not happy Jan….
Andrew M

Why is everyone bagging the price??

This is cheaper than the hilux and with more grunt and features to boot.

If you want cheaper buy a great wall, and you will get cheaper, not just in price
- Falcon_Crazy
  
  So True – thats why I placed my order last Saturday for an XLT 4×4 Crew cab. Can’t wait to pick up this very signficant piece of Aussie Engineering.
  
  has everyne forgotten this ute will be sold in 180 markets? It’s a big deal with a lot of passionate Ford people in Oz right behind it. Can’t wait for it to hit my stable and join the FG XR6.
ChrisM

Can’t wait to see how this compares to the US pricing!! I’m tipping the Wildtrac will be US$40,000.
- Clueless
  
  Not sold in USA doofus
Jp

Agree with andrew. The standard features is what you need to weigh up when comparing. Will be interested to see the factory bull bars and arb jobs once released. Does anyone kno if the reverse camera still has the lines showing path of tow ball, widest point of car etc – handy bit of kit if it does.
disco

I currently own the current model Hilux SR5 4×4 deisal auto dual cab. The only thing i can comment nice on is the the build quality. The ride is harsh, the engine is noisy. People will comment on the build quality and resale. but this is a world car and not just built in australia like falcon/commorodore with limited resources. i will be trading the hilux in when he ranger wildtrak comes onto the market. The ride will be set up to austrlaian conditions the engine will be silenced this will be a world class vechicle. looking foward to it
Adam

Don’t bite the hand that feeds you Disco, you will be bleeding out of your backside when the time comes to trade out of a Ranger. I am sure the Ranger Wildtrak will be a nice truck but at $ 6,400 dearer than a new look SR5 so it should be !!
- disco
  
  Adam,
  
  i am not going to bounce around for another 3 years and not tow our caravan because the resale is a couple of thousand better.
Old Dog

What the hell. “Pick Up”. Oh please. Well Bodied Ute thank-you very much.
Andrew

Whats the release date in australia for these?
- Stephen
  
  October for the XLT and all models by the end of the 1st quarter 2012
Stephen

any idea as to what colours ford are rolling the wildtrack out in ?
- CJ
  
  Wildtrak will only be available in Cool White, Highlight Silver, Metropolitan Grey, Black Micra and the exclusive only to Wildtrak, Chilli Orange.
  
  XL and XLT will also include True Red, Sparkling Gold, Aurora Blue and Gunmetal Blue.
  
  Wildtrak buyers pay more for less choice, but who cares because most are going to buy Chilli Orange anyway. (I would!)
6footsix

The Wildtrack will have no competitor on the market for the first 6 months until the Colorado arrives in April 2012, but it’s a bit too Yankee looking for me. I can’t waitanyway as my Trition dualcab is up for change at the end of this year.

I have a 2008 Triton Olympic Edition which has been great but just a bit gutless, far too small in the cabin & tray and very little safety features for me carting a couple of my kids around on a weekly basis. This Ute is the answer for me, bigger, more powerful, safer, it answers all my needs.

We also have an Audi Q7 for the safety and size with 4 kids the Wildtrack seems to also have the size and safety for me to use as Work/Recreational vehicle, Towing anything from Tradie trailers & bobcats during the week to bike trailes & a boat on the weekend

I also think the price is too much at over $60K on road for the Auto Wildtrack but what price can you put on your families safety. I’ll shop around to get a much better deal buy I will buy one – and NO Not in Chilli Orange.

Started taking stock at my work last week ( Victory Ford Tweed Coast) must say the 5 cyl with 6 speed auto cranks…( pops a green arrow up on dash to recommend next gear change on the manual ! ) XLT looks the goods… yea yea the initial prices are high but like a few have mentioned … a lot more goodies are standard eg tub liner with 12v plug, voice control, bluetooth, climate, difflock, trac control, descent control … reverse sensors with on dash lcd display with green and red icons,…cant remember most of that being standard on glx-R.
@ JP looked on the microcat partfinder and it looks like the reversing camera unit replaces the ford badge on the tailgate… wont know what shows on the LCD screen till release sorry
Aussies get ripped off

WOW, the UK price for an auto wildtrak is only 40K. Guess this is in line with every other vehicle we buy here in OZ!
lowey

I love the new ranger,it would be awesome if a ford dealer would bloody sell one to me,theres been so much hype about the 3.2 diesel and no one bloody has one in stock guna buy a Nissan instead
