From conquering steep gradients covered in sand, mud or ice to squeezing into tight parking spaces, the Ranger has lots of technology to help your driving.
Enjoy a mix of capability and comfort
The new Ranger has the technology to help you negotiate both hostile off-road conditions and traffic-heavy urban streets. Then again, it also has features designed simply to make your driving experience more comfortable and relaxing.
Selectable 4x4 lets you match any terrain
You’ve a choice of three driving modes: 4x2 for regular driving, 4x4 (High Range) for poor road surfaces and dirt tracks and 4x4 (Low Range) for exceptionally challenging terrain. The fact that the Ranger clears the ground by 229mm also helps it overcome the most difficult conditions.
Using Electronic Shift-On-The-Fly you can switch between 4x2 and 4x4 High Range, while on the move. The system works in conjunction with Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) and Electronic Traction Control (ETC).

The Ranger adapts to fit your driving style
An intelligent automatic transmission with Advanced Driver Recognition software enables a tailored driving experience according to the mode you select. For example: economy, performance, sports, uphill, downhill and towing, as well as 4x4 in high or low range.
The software ‘learns’ the driver’s style and matches it with the use of the transmission. So a relaxed driving style will deliver greater refinement and fuel economy, while a more enthusiastic driving style will be rewarded with sharper responses and a sportier feel.

Sensors that take the stress out of parking
When the Ranger is in reverse (without a trailer), the radio sounds a warning if an object is located within 1.8m of the rear of the vehicle. The frequency of its beeping indicates how close the object is, making it easy to avoid. (Check models for availability.)
A Trip Computer provides useful journey data
This gives you important information about your mileage, fuel consumption, speed and the outside air temperature. It also includes ‘distance to empty’: roughly how far you can go on the fuel left in the tank. This is particularly useful on long journeys or out in the wilderness somewhere.
In-dash Satellite Navigation makes sure you get there
Just programme your destination using the in-dash buttons and get audio and visual directions, plus information about your current location and the surrounding area. The SatNav is cleverly integrated into the audio system for security. (Check models for availability)
The interior of the new Ranger is a relaxing place to be, no matter what the conditions outside.
Set one temperature for you, another for your passenger
With Dual Automatic Temperature Control you can set individual temperatures for the driver and passenger sides of the cab. Standard on Wildtrak and Limited.
New, contemporary styled interior
Both cab styles are now wider, giving you more headroom and shoulder room in the front than before, with rear legroom that’s equally as generous, In fact, the Double Cab version now has rear legroom that’s best-in-class.
Car-like interior comfort
Enjoy the feel and comfort of high quality materials, contemporary styling, plus adjustable front seats and class-leading legroom. Whether you’re going to a business meeting, building site or beach, you’ll always travel in car-like comfort.
New adjustable front seats
The new Ranger has fully adjustable front seats for extra comfort. A Power 8-way adjustable seat is also available on certain models, which lets you reach your optimum comfort setting at the touch of a button. It even includes adjustable lumbar support and integral heating.
All front seats have an elevated position, giving you a clear view of the road or terrain ahead. This can give you more time to react, improving the safety of everyone in the vehicle.
More comfortable rear seats
The new Ranger’s more spacious cabin means the rear seats in the Double Cab version now offer legroom that’s best in class. Depending on the model, there are head restraints, a centre armrest and cupholders too. On some versions, rear seats can be flipped up and secured, giving extra load space or access to under-seat stowage. And 3-point seat belts are standard on all.
The Ranger’s convenience features are designed to make life just that bit simpler.
For hands-free safety: Bluetooth® with Voice Control
You can make and receive mobile calls, change the music and operate other key controls just by using your voice. So you don’t have to take your eyes off the road (or dirt track), or your hands off the wheel. (Optional on XL series, standard on all other series)
Wipers that automatically adjust to the rain
Sensitive rain-sensing wipers automatically start working when the first drops of rain are detected. Where these are not specified on a model, ingenious speed-sensing wipers will be fitted instead. These automatically adjust your chosen wiper speed as the vehicle’s speed changes, because the speed at which the rain collects on the windscreen will naturally change too. (Optional on XL series, standard on all other series)
Wing mirrors that fold themselves away from harm
On Limited and Wildtrak models, power-foldable mirrors fold inwards at the push of a button or when the car is locked, to avoid accidental damage. Heated with side repeaters (indicators) and puddle lamps, they light the floor when you step out. (Check models for availability.)
Ranger automatically lights your path
Triggered by remote unlocking or the ignition being turned off, Puddle Lamps, Approach and Guide-me-home lights give you better visibility when you’re approaching or leaving the Ranger in the dark. The Puddle Lamps, which illuminate the ground next to the front doors, are available on Limited and Wildtrak. The Approach and Guide-me-home lights are available on XLT, Wildtrak and Limited.
Lots of handy stowage space
Life is easier when it’s organised. And Ranger can help, with lots of handy stowage spaces. There are three centre console storage areas (short, long and long with a section cooled by the air conditioning system) depending on the type of cab you choose. They contain storage bins suitable for food, as well as cup and bottle holders, trays for small items, and that all-important space for your mobile. The glovebox offers a huge 11.9 litres of space and can hold a 15” laptop, a compact umbrella and more. You’ll also find plenty of stowage pockets around the cab, while the Double Cab also has two large, under-seat stowage areas.
