The all new Ford Ranger has been launched in Fiji and is totally new from the ground up. The all-new Ranger was designed to be a segment defining vehicle with proven durability, outstanding capability, advanced technologies and exceptional fuel efficiency, all packaged in 21st century tough styling.

Redefining the compact pickup truck segment, the new Ranger was designed and developed to be among the forerunners - if not the pack leaders - in every area that is important to the customer such as innovation, safety, fuel-efficiency, capability and interior comfort.

The new Ranger is the latest in a wave of global products driven by the 'One Ford' strategy. Designed and engineered and based on a new global compact truck platform, Ranger has been transformed to assert true pickup truck leadership.

Tough, Innovative, Powerful

The All-New Ranger powertrains have been engineered to give customers a superior combination of power and torque at class-leading fuel efficiency. Exuding power and confidence in a styling that the designers call "21st Century Tough", the taut and muscular Ranger is equally at home on a construction site or outside classy entertainment outlets. Its front end features a short overhang with the signature three-bar grille, a global Ford truck design cue.

From impressive gains in power and fuel economy - the result of its new engine family - to outstanding pickup truck capability that includes exceptional towing and payload capacity, the next-generation Ford Ranger emerges as a clear segment leader. It not only builds on the tremendous Ranger heritage of capability, but it also gives owners a spacious, comfortable, feature-filled interior and sophisticated driving experience that they would expect only from a Ford vehicle.

"We are delighted to bring this highly anticipated pickup truck to Fiji," said Craig Phipps, South Pacific District Manager, Ford Export & Growth Operations. "The All-New Ranger is in a league of its own. Ranger is unique in that it delivers all that's expected of a truck and more without forcing a trade-off on the customer. Drivers will not only gets class-leading towing, payload and water-wading capabilities, but also superior fuel economy, cabin refinement and the latest technologies," concluded Phipps.

The All New Ford Ranger is available to the public at the state-of-the-art Shreedhar Motors Facility in Suva.
