Ford Australia is keeping up the pressure on Toyota’s HiLux 4×4 by rolling out the Ranger 4×4 XLS Special Edition from next month.
Claimed to offer $4900 worth of added features, the Special Edition Ranger is based on the 4×4 XLS dual cab models and is priced $2500 higher. Prices for the 3.2-litre Special Edition are $49,990 for the manual variant or $52,190 for the automatic.
The extra accessories fitted to the Special Edition are: Sports bar, 3500kg-capacity tow bar, side steps and a bed and tailgate liner.
"Already considered one of the most capable and desirable pick-up trucks on the market, we expect the Ranger 4×4 XLS Special Edition will help us narrow the gap to Toyota even further, with Ranger 4×4 now only 172 units behind the Hilux 4×4 year-to-date," said Ford Australia President, Graeme Whickman.
