In the past, in the domestic market, American pickup trucks were often the "toys" of the rich, after all, the high price, fuel consumption and maintenance are not affordable for an ordinary family, not to mention that pickup trucks in China have 15 years of mandatory scrapping regulations.
Nowadays, as long as you have a budget of less than 200,000 yuan, you can buy the original American pickup truck - Ford Ranger Range, and the price range of the new car is 1458-24.480,000 yuan, respectively provide gasoline version and diesel version of the model, of which the gasoline version of the model has a total of 8 configuration models to choose from, equipped with 2The 3-T Eocboost petrol engine produces 258 hp and 450 Nm of torque, while the powertrain is offered with a six-speed manual transmission and an eight-speed automatic manual transmissionThe diesel variant is available in seven configurations, with two configurationsThe 3-liter turbodiesel engine produces 186 hp and 470 Nm of torque, and the drivetrain is also available with a six-speed manual and an eight-speed automatic manual transmission.
In the face of so many models with so many configurations, it must be difficult for everyone to choose. And my recommendation, this one costs 18The 980,000 yuan Tracing four-wheel drive automatic gasoline version, the reason why this model is recommended is mainly because its configuration is comprehensive enough, and it is a configuration that is often used daily, such as lane departure warning system, active braking, forward collision warning, 360-degree panoramic image, transparent chassis, L2 full-speed adaptive cruise, reversing side warning system, rear side privacy glass, openable panoramic sunroof, rain-sensing wipers, carplay and mobile phone wireless charging, etc. It is worth mentioning that in addition to the optional comfortable cockpit package, this configuration model can also choose an additional hard-core trailer optional package, which includes the rear trailer square mouth with trailer qualification, rear bucket 220V power interface, power interface power upgrade to 400W. This is a very practical configuration for camping or outdoor expansion.

Among them, the TMS all-terrain management system of the Ford Ranger Ranger also provides a total of 7 driving modes: Standard, Economy, Sport, Snow, Rock Climbing, Mud, and SandThe EMOD intelligent full-time four-wheel drive system is directly driven by the motor and reducer, and the low-speed ratio is 248 to 306, the front output torsion capacity has been increased from 1200 Nm to an astonishing 1850 Nm, which can ensure its off-road ability when driving on bad roads or getting out of trouble. In addition, the Ford Ranger Range has the largest approach and departure angles in its class, at 30° and 26°, respectively, with a longitudinal passing angle of 23° and a minimum ground clearance of 238mm.
Interestingly, the difference between the domestically produced Ford Ranger Ranger and the overseas version is that the 121Inch touch screen embedded under the 8155chip,It is a good way to improve the experience of the car machine system,Whether it is the screen response speed or the design of the entire UI interface, it is also very good for the use of Ford for the needs of our domestic consumers,It can be seen how much Ford attaches importance to the daily experience of our domestic consumers。
Finally, I will share with you a small history of the Ford Ranger Ranger, in fact, the world's first modern pickup truck was launched by Ford - Ford Model TT. It wasn't until 1983 that Ford was born in order to create a mid-size pickup truck that focused more on fuel economy.
However, in 2011, the Ford Ranger announced its withdrawal from the North American market due to poor market performance, but it was a great success in the Australian market on the other side of the world, and did not return to the North American market until the second facelift of the Ford Ranger *** model. Until now, the new generation of Ford Ranger Ranger has entered the Chinese market for the first time as a domestic product.
The old Ford Ranger).
There is also a small episode, the experience of Ford pickup trucks in the field of modification is mainly from the BAJA1000 off-road racing car, which must have been seen by some racing enthusiasts. In 2022, Ford's race car based on the all-new Ranger Raptor Limited Edition entered the race and won the class championship.
In general, Ford also sees that the domestic pickup truck market has ushered in new opportunities, even if the pickup truck is still a niche model in China, but the Ford pickup truck has a lot of fans in China, so the introduction of a new generation of Ford Ranger Ranger Ranger and the realization of localization, prompting the competition of domestic pickup trucks to be more intense. If you like it, you might as well go to a Ford dealership to experience it.
