“There are numerous UTES that can offer 3500 kg of baked drag capacity, or a long list of standard safety equipment, or a Torquey turbo diesel engine,” said Carexper News editor William Stopford.
“However, the Ford Ranger meets all the essential criteria of a UTE in 2025, while also beating his rivals in the driving dynamics and in-car technology. It is a UTE that works well as a UTE, but is also capable of a family vehicle. Not to mention that Turbo-Diesel V6 is a gem and the Raptor is a hoot.”
“The Ford Ranger was designed and developed by Australians, for Australians,” said Marketplace editor James Wong.
“That is very clear in his self-assured and capable all-round performance, which fades the lines between commercial workhorse and family passenger vehicle. It is still the best in segment.”
“Ranger is the category benchmark-with some margin-by because of the way in which it runs, his possibilities and off-road, his robust appearance, his smart cabin design, his solid resale values and the broad choice of model figures, each supported by a five-star SMYS editor, said displayed news editor.
“Despite the rise of competitive new players at the UTE market, Ford’s Ranger remains the segment benchmark,” said Josh Nevett, editor of the deputy market.
“It is a refined workhorse, both online and off-road, with all the required capacities and functions that Australian buyers expect. There is something for everyone in the model range, from the rough and ready XL to the versatile PHEV and Go-Fast Raptor.”
“Ford’s Ranger is unmistakably the Ute benchmark, thanks to the chic interior, spicy engines and a chassism melody designed in Australia to tackle the worst Australian conditions,” said Carexper Journalist Max Davies.
“It is now also versatile than ever. With three diesel engines, a powerful petrol V6 and an efficient PHEV, there is something for everyone.”
