2016 Ford Ranger: Price And Features For Australia

Ford Australia has handed down final pricing for its refreshed Ranger line-up, due here in September.

When it lands, just one month before the new HiLux, the PX MkII range will kick off at $27,390 plus on-road costs.

That marks a $3000 increase over the current cost of entry into the outgoing range, while stepping into the most affordable up-spec XLT brings a $2450 increase over the cheapest XLT in the current line-up. 

The hero Wildtrak models attract smaller increases, up from $57,390 (manual) and $59,390 (auto) to $57,890 and $60,090 respectively.

Today's news follows the earlier release of specifications and equipment details, outlining the Ranger’s mechanical package, hauling capabilities (read up on that here) and standard features. 

Ford has also gone on the offensive once again, this time calling out the HiLux. 

The blue oval brand has previously singled out the RAV4 and Camry for comparison against its Kuga and Mondeo models, and the past year has seen the outgoing Ranger's virtues promoted against the current HiLux.

No surprise there, of course, with Ford having set its sights on closing a sales gap that currently stands at 3728 vehicles year-to-date.
