2012 Ford Ranger Wildtrak

The all-new Ford Ranger Wildtrak makes its global debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, a sporty compact pick-up that delivers impressive power and safety, excellent fuel efficiency and significant capability. It exudes a powerful presence bolstered by the latest in-car comfort and technologies.

The new global Ford Ranger boasts an extensive range of class-leading "smart" features that make it easier, safer and more fun to drive than ever. It also sports a unique Rear View Camera System - the camera image is displayed in the rear view mirror - which dramatically improves visibility and simplifies hooking up to a trailer.

Aiming to deliver class-leading safety, new Ranger utilises a whole suite of technologies, including Electronic Stability Program (ESP), to keep its wheels sturdily planted on the road under all conditions. Despite being an enormously capable vehicle, the Ford Ranger is also fitted with technologies such as satellite navigation and Bluetooth® voice control, more commonly found on premium or luxury cars.

Building on Ranger's long-standing heritage of capability, the all-new model extends Ford's credibility further, with selected European versions achieving a best-in-class towing capacity of 3350 kg. Ranger models fitted with the 2.2-litre Ford Duratorq TDCi diesel engine also have an outstanding payload capacity of up to 1333 kg.

New from the ground up - with everything changed except its name - new Ranger is the first commercial vehicle to be built under the One Ford strategy as part of a global product programme, bringing together the full engineering expertise of Ford around the world.

Designed and developed in Australia, Ranger will be offered as a complete family of compact pick-ups with three different cab body styles, 4x2 and 4x4 drive trains, two ride heights and up to five series choices to suit every pocket and market. It will be produced in Thailand, South Africa and Argentina for more than 180 markets worldwide.

"From the introduction of the Ranger brand to Europe in 1997, the Ford Ranger has been a major player in the European pick-up segment," said Jesus Alonso, Ford of Europe's Director for Commercial Vehicle Marketing, Sales and Service. "This all-new global model offers high-level technologies and impressive efficiency and safety. We are starting a new chapter in the Ranger success story."

@carmgn96 > is that really necessary?It just shows your intelligence. I only spoke the about the facts. The only thing that keeps ford propped up is their truck, which really is not that good either at least not any better than the other three. It seems preference is key here. Some buy fords and some no better. ;)

@chance1476

Right, and saying ''screw ranger'' really shows how smart you are. The Japanese will always be crap when it comes to trucks, no matter what.

[chance1476]

Screw ranger, BUY a TACOMA the number one selling compact truck in NOrth America! END of story!

@Fx4Ranger2002 I agree with you somewhat. The Ranger in this vid has it's good points in looks and some that are not in my opinion....but it's better than the one we have here in North America. Geez, Ford needs to update it big time. Not sure if you already know this...Dodge stopped making the Dakota and there's rumors that Ford may stop the Ranger here in NA. Ford would be making a big mistake if that is true...thousands of Rangers in my province alone..a new one would be a hot seller.

@LongDrivesAtNight I dont necessarily like the look of these european Rangers because they look alot like cookiecutter Frontiers,Colorados,Tacomas etc. I wish Ford would just redesign the body and offer a fill-sized back seat with the Ranger as well as introduce maybe a 2.3 and a 3.0 both with turbos like all the other fords have. A 3.0V6 Ranger with a turbo would probably have 300 horsepower and get like 26mpg. It would be handsdown the best small pickup
