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 is limited to 288bhp (US version gets 400bhp)

Quick Summary

The Ford Ranger (2023-present) is Europe's best-selling pickup truck, offering car-like comfort and technology alongside genuine off-road capability. Based on a development of the proven T6 platform, this latest generation features bold styling reminiscent of the American F-150, improved infotainment with a 12-inch portrait touchscreen, and multiple powertrain options including diesel, petrol, and a new plug-in hybrid variant. Available in various trim levels from XL to Raptor, the Ranger combines practicality with an impressive driving experience that rivals many family SUVs, whilst maintaining its ability to haul serious loads.

The Ranger impresses with its smooth ride quality, tight turning circle (12.0-12.9 metres), and comprehensive standard equipment including Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and advanced safety features. The new plug-in hybrid delivers 277bhp and up to 25 miles of electric-only range, whilst traditional diesel engines offer strong torque delivery. Running costs are reasonable for a vehicle of this size, though fuel economy varies from 27-33mpg depending on engine choice. The Wildtrak trim represents excellent value, offering leather seats, alloy wheels, and premium features at a competitive price point.

Best for: Buyers seeking a practical pickup with SUV-like comfort and technology, those needing genuine load-carrying capability, and drivers wanting an alternative to traditional family SUVs with towing prowess.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers (rivals offer cheaper alternatives), those prioritising fuel economy, or drivers with limited parking space given the Ranger's substantial size.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Ranger if: You want a pickup with genuine SUV-like comfort and technology, need serious load-carrying and towing capability, or seek an alternative to traditional family SUVs with practical versatility.

Consider alternatives if: You're on a tight budget (Isuzu D-Max offers cheaper options), prioritise fuel economy above all else, or have limited parking space for a large vehicle.

Competitive Position: The Ford Ranger is Europe's best-selling pickup and our favourite of the lot. It combines car-like build quality, impressive technology, and an enjoyable driving experience that rivals many family SUVs, whilst maintaining genuine off-road credentials and substantial load-carrying capacity. Although rivals like the Toyota Hilux offer better value and the Isuzu D-Max is cheaper, the Ranger's superior comfort, infotainment, and driving dynamics make it the standout choice for buyers wanting a pickup that doesn't compromise on refinement. The new plug-in hybrid variant adds another compelling option for environmentally conscious buyers.
