As an alternative of being only one variant, the Ranger Tremendous Responsibility can be a whole household of more durable pickup and cab/chassis variants, with single-cab, extended-cab and dual-cab physique kinds out there.
It’ll launch initially in cab/chassis configurations, priced from $82,990 earlier than on-road prices.
All Ranger Tremendous Responsibility fashions pack a 154kW/600Nm turbo-diesel 3.0-litre V6 engine, mated with a 10-speed automated transmission, and are available commonplace with locking entrance and rear differentials, plus a class-leading braked towing capability of 4500kg.
Borrowing its title from more durable variations of Ford’s full-size American F-Collection vehicles – and the primary non-F-Collection Ford to put on the Tremendous Responsibility moniker – probably the most rugged Ranger ever contains a stronger chassis, bigger gas tank, wider tracks, extra floor clearance and eight-stud wheels/hubs.
Mr Birkic defined the Tremendous Responsibility took place after he sat down six years in the past with the previous common supervisor of the International Vehicles division, Gary Boes, to debate the next-generation Ranger and any potential ache factors.
“A recurring theme was expensive and time-consuming modifications that have been vital to the work they do,” he stated.
“Strolling out, the mission was clear. Our heavy-duty prospects wanted a mid-size truck that might carry virtually two tonnes of payload, tow as much as 4.5 tonnes, and be extremely succesful off-road. Nothing existed within the Australian market that might do all this, backed by a full manufacturing unit guarantee.”
Thus, the Ranger Tremendous Responsibility was born.
None of Ford’s rivals have a direct rival for the Ranger Tremendous Responsibility. Beforehand, to get a factory-backed ute in Australia with this sort of towing capability, you’d must step as much as a full-size US pickup.
