Ford Ranger Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Car-like build quality and levels of equipment	EcoBlue diesel engines have a poor reliability record

Quick Summary

The Ford Ranger is one of Europe's most popular pickups, offering a sophisticated driving experience that rivals mainstream family SUVs. The latest generation features improved technology, bold styling reminiscent of the American F-150, and a range of powertrains including a new plug-in hybrid option launched in mid-2025. Available in multiple trim levels from XL to Platinum, with the Wildtrak being the biggest seller, the Ranger combines practicality with comfort and modern conveniences. All models feature all-wheel drive, and the load bed is just over 1.5 metres long in double cab versions, making it genuinely versatile for work and leisure.

The Ranger rides impressively smoothly despite its leaf-spring rear suspension and body-on-frame construction, delivering a comfortable and quiet experience that feels more like a large SUV than a traditional pickup. The 202bhp twin-turbocharged 2.0-litre diesel with 10-speed automatic is the most popular choice, whilst the new plug-in hybrid delivers 277bhp and impressive torque. Running costs are reasonable for a vehicle of this size, though fuel economy ranges from 27-33mpg depending on engine choice. With excellent safety equipment, impressive technology including a 12-inch touchscreen on higher trims, and practical features like underbody wax protection, the Ranger represents excellent value for those needing genuine load-carrying capability without sacrificing comfort.

Best for: Buyers seeking a practical pickup with car-like comfort and technology, those needing genuine load-carrying capability, and drivers wanting a more sophisticated alternative to traditional workhorses.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising fuel economy, buyers with limited parking space, or those seeking the cheapest pickup option on the market.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Ranger if: You need a practical pickup with genuine load-carrying capability, desire car-like comfort and modern technology, or want a more sophisticated alternative to traditional workhorses.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise fuel economy, have limited parking space, or are seeking the cheapest pickup option available.

Competitive Position: The Ford Ranger is the most car-like pickup on sale, offering superior build quality, technology, and driving refinement compared to rivals. Whilst the Volkswagen Amarok scores highly with users and the Isuzu D-Max is cheaper, the Ranger's combination of comfort, equipment, and practicality makes it the standout choice for buyers wanting a pickup that doesn't compromise on everyday usability. The new plug-in hybrid variant further strengthens its appeal, offering impressive torque and the option of electric-only driving for shorter journeys. This is our favourite pickup of the lot.
