Car Profiles - Ford Ranger (non-Wildtrak)

FORD RANGER (NON WILDTRAK)

Even if you go with the non-Wildtrak models, you still get the same interior space that the new Ranger has. Oddly, 4x4 XL has less kit than the 4x2 XLT. Power can be lacking for some especially that the engine is too little for such a heavy truck. If you care for value than power, this is the one. Trekker Limited now available with only 225 units allocated for nationwide consumption.

The Good: Lots of space
The Bad: Lacks oomph

Price Range: P859,000-P1,189,000
