2007 Ford Ranger details and pricing info
Arriving to British dealers in September, the 2007 Ford Ranger pickup truck comes with a new common rail 2.5-liter diesel engine and features extended service intervals, which now have been extended to 12,500 miles/one year.
The Ranger’s new 2.5-liter Duratorq TDCi common-rail fuel injection diesel engine sports increased power output from the previous 109PS to 143PS and increased torque from 226Nm @ 2000rpm to 330Nm @ 1,800 rpm.
In its press release Ford says that the new engine makes much less noise, especially inside the cabin. The engine is mated with a five-speed manual transmission that can be ordered in both 4×2 and 4×4 versions.
New Ranger’s suspension features independent double wishbone with torsion bar springs front and rigid leaf springs on the rear. Four-wheel ABS is standard.
There is also a major overhaul inside the driver’s cabin. New seats now feature a new sculpted seatback, wider shoulders, improved bolster and a larger headrest.
Silver and chrome details are everywhere and the number of stowage areas has also been significantly increased, including a two-bin center console to store CDs, mobile phones and sunglasses.
New Ford Rangers also have an integrated radio with an in-dash CD player in their list of standard equipment (an in-dash six-CD player and additional speakers are also available on XLT and Thunder models).
The 2007 Ford Ranger features a maximum payload of 1,075 kg (2370 lbs.) and maximum towing of 1,600 (4×2), 3,000 (4×4) kg (3527 and 6600 lbs. respectively) with trailer.
On-the-road prices range from £15,622 to £18,388.
