Not only is based on the assets of tremendous ability to pick-up Ranger, but also offers owners of truck driving experience spacious, comfortable, DVD and Blu-interior and a sophisticated one would expect only a machine.
Among the latest technology in its segment, Ford Ranger is the result of an impressive all-new global platform from Ford compact truck - the last to emerge as part of a company's Ford - and Mazda. Replaces two previous-generation compact truck platforms currently in production to present a new face of Built Ford Tough to customers around the world.
Based on innovation, has a list of technologies and features to lead the industry - which includes a new rearview camera system, rear parking assist, influence and control trailer load control with adaptation. Ford plans to introduce the new Ranger technologies in the coming months.
Intended to be marketed in the five continents and sells more than 180, the Ford Ranger is offered as a complete family of compact trucks - with three different cab body styles, 4x2 and 4x4 drive, two ride heights and set up five options, according to the market.
"We know that the trucks, so we took the best of our knowledge all over the world to create the new Ford Ranger," said Derrick Kuzak, group vice president, Global Product Development.
"Focusing our global resources in a single new compact pickup platform allowed us to make significant improvements, technologies and features that owners of value, together with fuel economy is only one reason to buy."
The new Ford Ranger vision reflected in the compact pickup buyers around the world and its evolving needs.
"Compact trucks are very important to customers in many regions of the world," said Jim Farley, group vice president, Marketing, Sales and Service. "For many, it is the only vehicle in a family headed by a person other than the hard work rely These people need a truck that can do the job -. It will be amazed at how smart Ford Ranger new technologies make the job more easy. And increasingly, they are also looking for the types of features, technologies, the breadth and sophistication you would expect in a car, and Ranger is so innovative here. "
ford ranger A new model is based on a strong heritage
For nearly 20 years, the Ford Ranger was one of the most popular vans in the world Ford. It has provided millions of buyers with capacity hard Ford Trucks - transporting heavy loads, trailers, and absorb the punishment of the toughest roads. The new Ford Ranger now has even more capacity, but has become a tense, muscle tone and strength that exudes contemporary shape and hardness.
With a new chassis suspension, front and rear steering system, Ranger offers increased towing capacity and payload and exceptional. It 's powered by a choice of three new low-consumption engines, two of which was the common-rail Duratorq TDCi diesel Ford art and new low-power transmissions with six speeds.Add more chassis and safety technologies, and the history of Ford Ranger pickup truck leadership is as vivid as his strong position, with a purpose.
Ranger has the flexibility to handle all the tasks at home or at work.
Its transformation is perhaps most vivid in the brand new interior, which offers new levels of space experience compact properties. The new Ford Ranger offers a comfortable ride and quiet, with a level of features and technologies that are second to none.
The flagship of the new range is the Ford Ranger XLT Double Cab model presented in Sydney in Aurora brilliant blue, showing a fuel brave new 2.2-liter Ford Duratorq TDCi 110 kW (150 hp) diesel engine with an impressive 375 Nm torque space Available.
"The new Ford Ranger is proving to the world today is proof that you can achieve by leveraging the power of One Ford," said Gary Boes, vehicle line director for Ford's new compact truck platform.
"The new Ranger responds to what truck owners around the world want a vehicle that was designed and developed by a dedicated truck like no other. E 'being tested in more demanding of the toughest environments on five continentsdemonstrate world-class credentials. Ford Ranger truck owners respect and earn their respect every day, "said Boes.
21st Century "hard style inside and out
The new Ford Ranger creates a bold and decisive presence, with a fresh, contemporary exterior personality from the famous Stone Ford. Designers call the 21 st century look tough. "
The tense muscles, toned and a brave, confident strength of the signal immediately, and the ability of an ultra-modern trucks. However, it also communicates a transformed, more sophisticated and refined style that appeals to a new generation of truck owners.
"In many parts of the world, the role of the Ford Ranger has changed," said Craig metropolitan, chief designer. "We still need to be a work vehicle with durable interior and the ability to carry a heavy load, but also plays a dual role with refinement, comfort and more consumer-friendly tops the list for many buyers."
Meters, said extensive research among truck customers around the world reveals striking similarities in taste and design expectations.
While the needs and expectations may differ in the 180 markets that are sold, the new Ranger Truck tough design resonates around the world.
"Good design is long lasting and transcends all markets," said Mets. "Lindos tricks do not work with this group. It is a rugged truck that does the job in the first place."
According to Metro, Ford Ranger is very difficult, but not carved in the style of the largest North American Ford F-Series trucks. The contemporary design will be the same at home on the streets outside trendy restaurants inCologne or Melbourne
Reflecting the different uses of compact pickups around the world, the new Ford Ranger product range offers everything from basic work trucks with the exhaust pipe in a higher series models, such as the Ford Ranger Limited and Ranger Wildtrak , is yet to be revealed.
The best of Ford design language have also been applied to the interior. Signs of borrowing power tools of ergonomic design, like DEWALT ® 1, and means enclosed in a protective shell like a G-Shock ® 2 watch, designers were inspired to combine form and function, while ensuring the instruments are clearly visible to the driver.
Inside, the cladding panels are designed to be easily replaced. A single base panel is mounted off-line and simply installed in the vehicle. While finishing styles vary, all parts are designed to be interchangeable.
"Look closely and you will see that, whatever the model does not deviate from the basic structure and design," said Metro. "All external and internal forms and panels are identical."
The little details very carefully to ensure the quality and craftsmanship in all models. From graining on interior panels to tonal color choices, the execution exudes a feeling of luxury throughout the interior.
Projects in the instrument panel have been used easily accept modular parts, such as radios, and heating and ventilation controls - to ensure the construction quality was maintained to eliminate unsightly gaps.
According to Debbie Pascoe, color and design director Ford finished, the materials used throughout the cabin must be particularly robust. The seats must be comfortable, but also able to support the use of the business customer.
"The typical pickup driver needs space and have designed an interior that is comfortable, easy to put on and off, with controls that are larger to accommodate work gloves, for example. When you design a truck interior, special considerations have been taken to ensure the car will be as strong as the rest of the vehicle. But difficult is not necessarily difficult, "he said.
The interior materials are subjected to constant abuse and have to endure the punishment of rigor that is not seen in a car. Materials of the seat must be able to take a beating of the tools that are released into the cabin or forgotten in a back pocket. Door panels can not be easily torn or scratched by dirty boots. And customers increasingly want a truck that is elegant and comfortable interior for your personal use.
"We have not forgotten that many of these vehicles are used only for work but are also the primary transport in many parts of the world as the vehicle of the family," said Pascoe.
Three passengers can easily fit into the second row of the new Ford Ranger double cab. It offers a wide safety margin at the knee and foot clearance between the best B-pillar and the seat. This means getting in and out of the new Ranger has never been easier for rear seat passengers.
Large storage capacity is available throughout the interior of the cabin with a maximum of 20 memory locations. Pockets in all four cabin doors can easily fit water bottles and, in some models, a deep center console keeps drinks well. The glove box is large enough to accommodate a laptop. Storage for mobile phones and other small items can be found on the console.
Under the rear seats, a convenient hidden storage area for electronics and small packages is provided, while the selected Ford Ranger Double Cab models, armrests in the middle of a back seat includes two dual cupholders.
To reduce costs Ranger properties, especially in the fuel pump, a wide range of design features have been optimized to improve the efficiency of the fuel. Using the same advanced simulation technology as Formula One team, aerodynamics has conducted more than 1000 complete vehicle aerodynamic simulations to perfect the shape of the vehicle.
With this technology, engineers have demonstrated that with a hard line in the upper fender, the wind flow is divided and reduced resistance. The backlight was placed more correct, pillars optimize and a small spoiler was added to the upper part of the tailgate. A bumper plays an important role in the control of the air flow under the vehicle, with a consequent significant reduction of the coefficient of resistance.
"Reduce the wind resistance was a start. Small incremental gains in fuel efficiency and contribute to the rapid achievement of fuel economy," said Mets.
ford ranger More muscle under the hood - three new engines
With a body that is thin and tense, the muscle under the hood. The propulsion systems totally new Ranger is designed to offer customers a unique combination of power and torque.
Ford Ranger has three new engines to compact range of Ford pick-up in the world:
A new 2.2-liter Ford Duratorq TDCi I4 diesel engine output torque of 375 Nm and 110 kW (150 hp).
A highly responsive and efficient new 3.2-liter Duratorq TDCi diesel i5 with an output of 470 Nm of torque and rated power of 147 kW (200 hp) Ford.
A 2.5-liter Ford Duratec I4 petrol engine with a power greater than 122 kW (166 PS). It can be configured for E100 flex-fuel capability or aftermarket upfitted to run on natural gas or LPG.
"This new engine family, the film demonstrates our commitment to make Ford Ranger is the best choice for truck customers today," said John Tatge, chief program engineer Ranger. "We are bringing the best technology of the engine range of engines for Ford Ranger to make the perfect choice for functionality and fuel economy, especially with the world-class diesel Duratorq. The couple makes the Ford Ranger ownership".
Developed inAustralia
Selected Ford Ranger engines benefit from the advantages of low engine speeds and reduces wear, with six-speed automatic transmissions and manual available on selected models. The increase in fuel economy, along with other advances to facilitate maintenance and service, will help reduce the cost of goods annually.
"The new Ford Ranger is driving a truck," said Rob Sharples, team leader of the propulsion system program. "It 's interesting to drive, and all the inputs of the driver and vehicle controls work together in harmony."
The final drive gear ratios and have been carefully selected to offer outstanding acceleration, excellent fuel efficiency and a smooth ride.
The new Ford 6R80 six-speed automatic transmission has been tuned to deliver quick changes harmonious almost imperceptible to the driver, enhancing the car-like refinement of the new Ranger. InNormal mode, the calibration focuses on comfort and fuel economy. For sportier driving, a movement of the exchange rate shifts the transmission into Sport mode. This provides more points of change and the driver can select gears manually via a forward motion (climb) or backward (shift).
Ford also has other smart technology - The logic of quality control. Automatically changes when the brake pressure is detected down enough, adding the new Ford Ranger towing and transport capacity.
6R80 automatic transmission is designed for both 4x2 and 4x4 versions. It is lightweight and includes internal strengthening that have been designed and tested to Ford's global standards of commercial vehicles.
Ranger can also be equipped with manual transmission Ford MT82 six-speed gearbox, with his short, car-like gear lever - a good ergonomic position for the driver - which provides clear and precise change corresponds perfectly to the generous torque output of the new diesel. A gear shift indicator in the instrument panel helps coach drivers on the best equipment for fuel economy.
The 2.5-liter petrol engine is standard with the proven Ford MT75 five-speed manual.
The new Ford Ranger four-wheel drive models are equipped with a transfer case with proven electronic control that allows drivers to switch from 4x2 to 4x4 anytime via an electronic switch located on the console. If a couple extra or additional downhill braking is required, with low range can also be activated.
Rangers selection with four wheels can also be equipped with a differential of electric block or of a differential in a wide range of transmission ratios final.
Although the fuel economy certification will take place closer to the start of production, Ford is predicting that the new Ford Ranger powertrain range will contribute to significant savings at the pump.
The new levels of quality of driving and control of the frame
The same level of detail that makes the Rangers stand out in a crowd that set it apart from the competition, with a new chassis that provides even greater capacity, together with car-like comfort, reduced steering effort, more precise handling and a better road holding.
Off-road has been improved with a rigid frame height, up to 232 mm, and pipeline components that have been strategically mounted above the frame rail and danger.
Despite an increased pace of 3,220 mm - and wider track for the 4x4 model of 1,560 mm and the 4x2 model of 1590 mm front and back - turning radius of the all-new Ranger makes easy to handle in parking lots and narrow streets of the city. Its steering system rack and pinion has been carefully designed to deliver solid performance while delivering more precise steering.
In front, the suspension is entirely new brand. On a spring new shock absorber allows a better adaptation of the design of the upper and lower yoke. The configuration of the suspension, though similar for the two models and four-wheel drive is unique and has been adapted with specific rates of valve spring shock absorbers on all models to compensate for the weight, center of gravity and the torque distribution group .
In the rear part, a completely new suspension system provides a smooth and comfortable with a design of the rear suspension of the blade has been carefully adjusted for a variety of road conditions while still providing outstanding load capacity.
The rear suspension also offers Ford Ranger with a well-planted ride for high speed driving on dirt roads, common in South America, with a small influence and 'race' less corrugated or rough surfaces of the vehicle.
Taking into account the clients in the areas of the world where monsoons cause frequent flooding, Ranger's main electrical components and air vents are strategically placed high in the engine compartment. This contributes to the impressive wading depth of water.
Offering the biggest brakes in the class, stopping power for Ranger is excellent.
All Ford Ranger models are equipped with larger front rotors measuring 302-mm-32 and dual-piston calipers. The brake caliper has a pair of pistons phenolic reduce weight and improve the thermal performance.
Two traction means use a rear drum from 270-55-mm, while the vehicles Rider high and 4x4 uses a rear drum from 295-55-millimeters.
The braking system has been subjected to extreme environmental conditions and customer needs to drive at least 30 degrees Celsius in Sweden, in the intense heat of Death Valley in California, the congestion of city traffic, highway roads in the interior of Germany and ruthless' Australia.
The largest segment braking system provides excellent resistance to fading, in particular, with a maximum capacity. While competitive systems begin to fade and increased stopping distance, the Ranger is designed to maintain performance.
For superior braking performance, the Ranger is available with the electronic stability program, Ford's (ESP) system, which includes four-wheel traction control, yaw control and roll mitigation.
Invisible to the driver, the ESP system includes sensors located at the four wheels independently for controlling the speed of the wheel and detect wheel slippage during acceleration or braking. If slippage is detected or the vehicle is in motion (yaw), the brakes are applied individually to ensure the vehicle remains in its path.
In extreme conditions, the traction control system reduces the torque of the engine through the management of the spark and fuel delivery.
The braking system includes high-level system, Emergency Brake Assist to provide maximum impetus for the anti-lock brakes (ABS) and is activated automatically in panic-stop situations. Electronic Brake Distribution precisely hold the brake pressure in rear brake lines to help provide shorter braking distances.Flashing emergency lights automatically alert following vehicles when an ABS stop is triggered.
Among the segment leader with exceptional towing capacity, sure-footed traction and stability is guaranteed with mitigation and trailer available domain adaptive control of the load.
If the trailer starts to oscillate, the brakes are selectively applied to reduce the combination of rig. To make Ford Ranger maintains a stable ride when carrying full loads of goods, the adaptive control of the load determines the charge and apply the necessary measures to maintain a run straight and level.
Like all current Ford products, the new Ranger is designed to provide comprehensive protection of safety, a highly protective body structure with high strength steel throughout to protect occupants in a collision.
Engineers have used sophisticated computer models to improve the impact resistance of all new Ranger. This includes over 9000 full vehicle crash simulations before the vehicle first prototype was subjected to a physical crash test.
The new Ford Ranger offers new passive safety technologies, such as the availability of side curtain airbags on all cab styles for the first time.
Another new Ford Ranger technologies - including the new rear parking sensors and rear camera - not only help drivers collect daily use, but also help to avoid potential contact with pedestrians.
Scope
Bring a team of five? Under the direction of the work with large appliances, building materials, sand or gravel? Loaded with products for sale at local farmers' market? Whatever the load, all are easily stored in the cargo box of the new Ford Ranger double cab - even with a full load of passengers.
Measuring 1549 mm in length, 511 mm in height, with a maximum load box width of 1,560 mm, the box load crew cabin is over 100 mm in width. The volume is 1.21 cubic meters well.
Width between wheel arches is 1139 mm in all models and special provisions are provided in the cargo box to place wooden poles into the pockets that are located above the wheel. This allows the rock or a piece of plywood to be stacked flat.Width of the hatch at the top of the box is 1330 mm.
New from top to bottom - more to come
It's not often that engineers and designers have the opportunity to build a new truck from scratch, and demonstration of new Ford Ranger has taken advantage of this opportunity.
Ford Ranger when production starts in 2011, set new benchmarks in many categories including a stand-out design, road manners that are smooth and refined, a chassis that is capable off-road systems, and propulsion that are consumption Fuel, clean and built the promise of global Ford.
The new Ranger will be built around the world in three sites targeted production volume for the regional level, particularly in growth regions.

Invisible to the driver, the ESP system includes sensors located at the four wheels independently for controlling the speed of the wheel and detect wheel slippage during acceleration or braking. If slippage is detected or the vehicle is in motion (yaw), the brakes are applied individually to ensure the vehicle remains in its path.
In extreme conditions, the traction control system reduces the torque of the engine through the management of the spark and fuel delivery.
The braking system includes high-level system, Emergency Brake Assist to provide maximum impetus for the anti-lock brakes (ABS) and is activated automatically in panic-stop situations. Electronic Brake Distribution precisely hold the brake pressure in rear brake lines to help provide shorter braking distances.Flashing emergency lights automatically alert following vehicles when an ABS stop is triggered.
Among the segment leader with exceptional towing capacity, sure-footed traction and stability is guaranteed with mitigation and trailer available domain adaptive control of the load.
If the trailer starts to oscillate, the brakes are selectively applied to reduce the combination of rig. To make Ford Ranger maintains a stable ride when carrying full loads of goods, the adaptive control of the load determines the charge and apply the necessary measures to maintain a run straight and level.
Like all current Ford products, the new Ranger is designed to provide comprehensive protection of safety, a highly protective body structure with high strength steel throughout to protect occupants in a collision.
Engineers have used sophisticated computer models to improve the impact resistance of all new Ranger. This includes over 9000 full vehicle crash simulations before the vehicle first prototype was subjected to a physical crash test.
The new Ford Ranger offers new passive safety technologies, such as the availability of side curtain airbags on all cab styles for the first time.
Another new Ford Ranger technologies - including the new rear parking sensors and rear camera - not only help drivers collect daily use, but also help to avoid potential contact with pedestrians.
Scope
Bring a team of five? Under the direction of the work with large appliances, building materials, sand or gravel? Loaded with products for sale at local farmers' market? Whatever the load, all are easily stored in the cargo box of the new Ford Ranger double cab - even with a full load of passengers.
Measuring 1549 mm in length, 511 mm in height, with a maximum load box width of 1,560 mm, the box load crew cabin is over 100 mm in width. The volume is 1.21 cubic meters well.
Width between wheel arches is 1139 mm in all models and special provisions are provided in the cargo box to place wooden poles into the pockets that are located above the wheel. This allows the rock or a piece of plywood to be stacked flat.Width of the hatch at the top of the box is 1330 mm.
New from top to bottom - more to come
It's not often that engineers and designers have the opportunity to build a new truck from scratch, and demonstration of new Ford Ranger has taken advantage of this opportunity.
Ford Ranger when production starts in 2011, set new benchmarks in many categories including a stand-out design, road manners that are smooth and refined, a chassis that is capable off-road systems, and propulsion that are consumption Fuel, clean and built the promise of global Ford.
The new Ranger will be built around the world in three sites targeted production volume for the regional level, particularly in growth regions.
A gradual acceleration of production is scheduled to begin next summer (Northern Hemisphere) in
Even if you do not plan to introduce in the
Ranger also symbolizes how Ford is leveraging its global product resources more efficiently. Its product development team based in
"One Ford brought all our forces to create the new Ford Ranger," said Kuzak."When you look at how important compact trucks in the world, was the ideal candidate to be our next global product."
