Ford Australia has increased the pricing of two of the Ranger ute’s most popular grades, the range-topping Wildtrak and Raptor.
All three Wildtrak variants are now $300 dearer, while the sole Raptor offering has become $500 more expensive.
As before, the Wildtrak is available with a 147kW/470Nm 3.2-litre single-turbo five-cylinder diesel engine mated to either a six-speed manual ($63,390 plus on-road costs) or a six-speed torque-converter automatic ($64,590).
The Wildtrak can also be had with a 157kW/500Nm 2.0-litre twin-turbo four-cylinder diesel engine that’s matched to a 10-speed torque-converter automatic ($66,090), with the same combination standard in the Raptor ($77,690).
Speaking to CarsGuide, a Ford Australia spokesperson confirmed no changes have been made to the standard specifications of the Toyota HiLux Rogue and Rugged X rivals.
“The price adjustment is consistent with the evaluation of market conditions we regularly undertake across our product portfolio, which take into consideration a number of different external factors,” they said.
For reference, all other Ranger grades are unaffected by this round of changes, with only the flagship variants making moves.
As reported, the next-generation ute is set to be revealed and launched within the next 12 months or so. If you’re interested in what’s in store, click on the relevant story link above.
