- 2023.5 Ford Ranger pricing and features
- Asking prices up $250-$1300
- Spec improvements for XL, XLT, Sport, Wildtrak and Raptor
- Production commencing in March; priced from $36,180 plus on-roads
Ford has announced a raft of updates for its popular Ranger ute, just four months after the new-generation model launched in July.
The MY23.5 Ford Ranger will start production in March, with local deliveries commencing afterwards. It is on sale now with price rises and minor specification adjustments across the entire range.
It follows the recently-announced 2023.5 Ford Everest, with production also set to begin in March.
The largest updates have been applied to the mid-spec XLT and Sport variants, which gain an integrated trailer brake controller as standard.
In addition, the optional touring pack will include the cargo management system and overhead auxiliary switch bank previously exclusive to the Wildtrak and Raptor.
Other changes include a 20-inch alloy wheel option for the Wildtrak and the addition of a rear-view camera kit for XL cab-chassis variants, providing a factory-backed unit for installation by dealerships and bodybuilders.
Wildtrak with optional 20-inch alloy wheels
The flagship Ranger Raptor includes a newly-optional powered roll-top tonneau cover and a plastic drop-in bedliner – replacing the spray-in unit – for $3000.
However, pricing has increased between $250 and $1300, with the largest increase for the Raptor, followed by a $1000 rise for all diesel V6 variants.
All other specifications remain unchanged from the 2023 Ford Ranger launched in July. For a full run-down on the next-generation line-up, check out the links below:
