Ford Ranger (2023-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Car-like levels of equipment and build quality	Feels very large to drive on UK roads
More enjoyable to drive than a pickup should be	Equivalents from Isuzu and SsangYong are cheaper
Huge portrait-style touchscreen on Wildtrak models and up is impressive	UK-spec Raptor models limited to 288bhp, while US cars get 400bhp

Quick Summary

The Ford Ranger (2023-present) is a highly popular pickup in the UK, evolving from a tough workhorse into a sophisticated alternative to family SUVs. Building on the T6 platform, this latest version boasts improved technology and bold, American-inspired styling. While high-end trims like the Wildtrak and Wildtrak X offer luxury features, the Ranger remains versatile, available as a simpler workhorse in single or extended cab configurations.

Engines include a 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel, a 3.0-litre V6 turbodiesel, and a 3.0-litre twin-turbo petrol V6 for the Raptor, with a new plug-in hybrid variant launched in mid-2025. All models feature four-wheel drive and mostly automatic gearboxes. Impressively practical, it offers a spacious load bed and rear seating in double-cab models, along with substantial towing capacity. Despite its size, it offers a remarkably civilised ride for a pickup, making it comfortable and quiet, even if it feels slower than its acceleration figures suggest.

Best for: Those needing a highly practical vehicle for work or family, buyers seeking SUV-like comfort and technology in a pickup, and individuals who require significant towing capacity and off-road capability.

Not ideal for: Drivers in urban environments due to its sheer bulk, those prioritising car-like driving dynamics and agility over utility, or buyers seeking ultra-low running costs, especially with non-PHEV engines.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Ranger if: You need a highly practical vehicle for work or family, seek SUV-like comfort and technology in a pickup, or require significant towing capacity and off-road capability.

Consider alternatives if: You primarily drive in urban environments, prioritise car-like driving dynamics and agility, or are seeking ultra-low running costs.

Competitive Position: The Ford Ranger (2023-present) stands out as a magnificent pickup truck, setting a high bar in the segment. While it may not offer the plash ride of a large SUV, its blend of practicality, advanced technology, and surprisingly civilised driving experience makes it a compelling alternative. It improves upon its already very good predecessor with a better interior and updated infotainment, securing its position as a top choice for those needing a versatile workhorse that can also serve as a comfortable family vehicle. Its ability to handle heavy loads and serious off-roading, combined with a range of powerful engine options including a new PHEV, gives it a competitive edge, despite its size and higher running costs compared to some rivals.
