2016 Ford Ranger PX Mk2 review - Practical Motoring
3500kg braked 350kg max tbm FORD HAS REFRESHED the Ranger for 2016, with a raft of improvements on the same platform. So, just how different is it from the much-loved PX. This new model is the PX Mk2, indicating the vehicle is a refinement of the current PX model. However, many manufacturers have gone with a complete new model name for fewer changes than Ford has made with the Mk2. I’m familiar with the Mk1, having tested one pretty comprehensively then been so impressed I bought a 2012 XLT dual cab. We also have a detailed look at some of the new systems on the PX Mk2. There’s five grades of Ranger: XL. XL Plus. The Ranger is regarded as one of the market leaders and Ford intend to keep it there. The range is split for two different markets: XL/XL Plus/XLS for the commercial market, and XLT/Wildtrak for everyone else. Ford says XLT is about luxury and Wildtrak is about sports luxury. Ranger won a lot of (male) fans for its bluff, purposeful looks, especially over its curvier virtual twin-under-the-skin the BT-50. While there’s a few naysayers, the new look seems to be well received too. There’s a new sidevent, and no that won’t fit PX Rangers. Source: practicalmotoring.com.au
