Ford Ranger (2023-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Car-like build quality and levels of equipment	EcoBlue diesel engines have a poor reliability record
More enjoyable to drive than a pickup should be	Rival trucks from Isuzu and KGM are cheaper
Huge portrait-style touchscreen on some models	UK-spec Raptor limited to 288bhp (US version gets 400bhp)

Quick Summary

The Ford Ranger (2023-present) is the most car-like pickup truck on sale, combining genuine off-road capability with SUV-level comfort and technology. This latest generation builds on the proven T6 platform with bold, modern styling and improved interior quality. The Ranger offers multiple engine options, including a new plug-in hybrid variant launched in mid-2025 that delivers 277bhp and impressive torque. Available in various trim levels from XL to Platinum, with the popular Wildtrak offering leather seats, alloy wheels, and comprehensive technology including a 12-inch touchscreen with navigation.

The Ranger impresses with its refined ride quality, tight turning circle, and practical load bed, making it suitable for both work and family duties. The plug-in hybrid provides up to 25 miles of electric-only range, whilst diesel variants achieve reasonable fuel economy for their size. All models feature all-wheel drive with multiple drive modes, comprehensive safety equipment, and impressive towing capacity of up to 3,500kg. As a pickup that doesn't compromise on comfort or sophistication, the Ranger represents excellent value compared to traditional workhorses, though fuel consumption and company car tax changes from April 2025 should be considered.

Best for: Buyers seeking a practical pickup with SUV-like comfort and technology, those needing genuine load-carrying capability, and drivers interested in the new plug-in hybrid option.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers (rivals like the Isuzu D-Max are cheaper), those concerned about diesel engine reliability, or drivers requiring maximum performance (US Raptor offers more power).


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Ranger if: You want a practical pickup with genuine SUV-level comfort and technology, need reliable load-carrying capability, or are interested in the innovative plug-in hybrid option.

Consider alternatives if: You're on a tight budget (Isuzu D-Max offers better value), concerned about diesel engine reliability, or require maximum performance (US Raptor delivers more power).

Competitive Position: The Ford Ranger (2023-present) is the most sophisticated pickup truck available, offering car-like build quality, impressive technology, and a genuinely enjoyable driving experience. Whilst rivals like the Toyota Hilux and Isuzu D-Max provide excellent value and proven reliability, the Ranger stands out for its premium interior, comprehensive equipment, and innovative plug-in hybrid powertrain. It's the clear choice for buyers prioritising comfort and technology alongside practicality, though those seeking maximum affordability or proven diesel durability may prefer alternatives.
