Ford Ranger Ute Cars
The Ford Ranger Ute 4WD, also known as a 4x4 vehicle, is a popular choice among New Zealanders due to its versatility and capabilities in various driving conditions. With an impressive 3.2L five-cylinder diesel engine and six-speed automatic transmission, this Ute offers power and efficiency. Its towing capacity of up to 3500kg and payload of up to 1316kg make it suitable for both personal and commercial use.
In terms of safety features, the Ranger has a five-star ANCAP rating with advanced technologies such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, Autonomous Emergency Braking, and a Reverse Camera. These features help drivers navigate through challenging New Zealand road conditions safely.
The Ford Ranger Ute's 4x4 drivetrain provides reliable handling on different terrains such as muddy farm tracks, off-road adventures or rugged coastal beaches in NZ's backcountry regions. The switch-on-the-fly electronic transfer case makes it easy to switch between modes while the Hill Descent Control provides added confidence when traversing steep inclines or declines.
Comfort-wise, the Ranger offers spacious interiors for both driver and passengers, complemented by modern technological features such as Apple CarPlay™/Android Auto™ compatibility along with dual-zone climate control.
Fuel efficiency is always top of mind for Kiwi motorists given NZ petrol prices; with a fuel economy of 8-9 litres per hundred kilometers (l/100 km) combined for diesel models (as claimed by the manufacturer). The model line-up includes manual or automatic transmissions - depending on driver preferences.
Overall, the Ford Ranger Ute is well-suited for all kinds of uses in NZ driving conditions. It boasts robust powertrains and improved ride comfort with better suspension - improving handling on off-road terrain - yet has decent fuel economy figures along with innovative tech aimed at ensuring safe passage to drivers operating on tough roads throughout New Zealand's North & South Islands alike!
