Ford Ranger 2022– car dimensions: 5370 mm long, 1918 mm wide and 1884 mm high. Unladen weight is 2,227 kg. Braked towing is 3,500 kg.
The cabin seats five in the 4-door double cab with a 10.1-inch touchscreen as standard running SYNC 4A and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Base models use single-zone manual climate control while higher grades get dual-zone automatic. Cruise control is available, with adaptive versions including stop-and-go on mid and upper trims. Driver aids include standard automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection. Blind spot warning with cross traffic alert and lane keep assist appear on higher grades or packs. A reversing camera is standard, with front parking sensors and 360-degree views on select trims.
The double cab pick-up has an open cargo bed of about 1.18 cubic metres with a length around 1.55 metres, width of 1.56 metres and protective capping plus tie-down points for securing loads.
Most variants offer a maximum braked towing capacity of 3500 kg when fitted with the genuine tow pack that includes a tow bar and integrated trailer brake controller on higher grades. Unbraked towing sits at 750 kg. Payload for 4-door pick-ups typically ranges from around 950 kg to over 1000 kg depending on engine and drivetrain, with higher figures on lighter base models.
Heavy duty suspension is standard or available on work-focused grades and cab-chassis versions to handle loads better. The setup suits mixed work and leisure with selectable tow/haul modes and trailer sway control.
The cabin feels roomy and practical for a pick-up, with dual-zone climate control, rear air vents, and supportive seats that include larger bolsters. Higher grades add leather-trimmed multi-way power seats, heated fronts, and a heated steering wheel for longer trips. Storage is generous under the rear seats and in the console, with a quiet feel from acoustic laminated glass.
Combined fuel use from 7.6 L/100 km on 2.0L bi-turbo diesels.
Service every 12 months or 15,000 km.
Five-star ANCAP and Euro NCAP rating.
Nine airbags standard including far-side and knee.

Fuel economy sits in the mid-7 L/100 km range for the common 2.0L bi-turbo diesel on combined cycles, rising a little with the 3.0L V6. Real-world figures hold up well on highway runs but climb when towing or loaded. Tank size is 80 L across the range.
Servicing follows a 12-month or 15,000 km schedule with capped-price plans available in many markets. Oil-life monitoring helps tailor intervals, and common items like filters and brakes are straightforward at dealers.
Safety kit starts with nine airbags, autonomous emergency braking, stability control and a reverse camera. Higher grades add adaptive cruise with stop-and-go, blind-spot monitoring with trailer coverage, and a 360-degree camera. The structure earned five stars from both ANCAP and Euro NCAP.
Keeping the Ranger is simple thanks to a wide dealer network and available pre-paid service packs. Regular underbody checks after off-road use and tyre rotations keep it reliable for work or leisure.
