2015 Ford Ranger ute is the most advanced in the world - Cars Guide

The new Ford Ranger pick-up has technology once exclusive to luxury cars, including radar cruise control, forward collision warning, blind zone alert, and a lane keeping system that beeps at the driver if they wander from their lane. The raft of new technology means when the new Ford Ranger goes on sale in July it will be the most advanced pick-up in Australia, outclassing working class heroes such as the Toyota HiLux, Nissan Navara, Mitsubishi Triton and Holden Colorado , all... As with the current model, the updated Ranger (which has new bodywork from the windscreen forward) was designed and engineered from the ground up by Ford in Australia, but will be made in Thailand, where most imported utes are sourced. The new Ford Ranger has the same choice of engines as before — with the same amount of power and towing ability — but the company claims new software calibrations have delivered better fuel economy on some models. The new Ranger can't come a moment too soon for Ford Australia. Last year Ford sales fell to their lowest since 1966 and so far this year sales are down even further — by 20 per cent — in a market that is up by 2 per cent and on track for another record.
