Ford Australia Announces Specifications and Pricing for the All-New Ford Ranger

MELBOURNE – Sept 5, 2011: Ford Australia today announced Australian Manufacturer’s List Pricing (MLP) and specifications for its all-new Ranger model range.

"Designed from the ground up, this highly anticipated all-new model range, available in both 4x2 and 4x4, has been comprehensively developed to meet the specific needs of Australian ute and light truck customers," Bob Graziano, President and CEO of Ford Australia said.

"Achieving this meant an Australian-based four-year development programme involving almost 500 engineers from around the Ford world. It also involved exhaustive testing in some of the world's harshest operating environments.

"The result: the all-new Ford Ranger is capable, comfortable, powerful, fuel-efficient and includes outstanding safety features.

"It has been designed, engineered and produced to be a leader in its segment and I am certain our customers will agree the moment they get behind the wheel," he said.

Australia will be the first of 180 international markets to release the all-new Ford Ranger when the first models go on sale locally in October.
