2023 Ford Ranger price rise! Updates for Blue Oval's top model, extra features and options added

Ford has announced price increases for the 2023 Ford Ranger, affecting models produced from March 2023 onwards.

The price increases come with minor updates for the Ranger, with the most significant pricing changes affecting the higher end of the ute’s range.

Ford has increased pricing for its entry level 4x2 Ranger XL grade by just $250, making the starting price for a 2023 Ford Ranger Hi-Rider (HR) single-cab chassis with single turbo (SiT) 2.0-litre diesel (with 125kW/405Nm) now $36,180 before on-road costs.

Ranger XL cab-chassis models now come with reversing cameras as standard.

All SiT Ford Rangers make use of a six-speed automatic transmission, while Rangers with bi-turbo (BiT) powertrains (regardless of 154kW/500Nm 2.0-litre turbo diesel four or 184kW/600Nm 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6) come with a 10-speed automatic.

The cheapest dual-cab Ford Ranger, the XL 4x2 HR dual-cab SiT, now starts from $40,680, while stepping up to an XLS pick-up (with BiT engine) is a $54,790 affair, or $400 more than before. Getting into a top-spec 4x2 XLT pick-up sets buyers back $54,790, up $800 as with the rest of the XLT variants. 

XLT variants also now come with Ford’s Integrated Trailer Brake Controller as standard, as do the higher Sport variants.

The cheapest 4x4 variant in the Ranger family, the 4x4 XL Single Cab BiT, starts from $47,280, while the most expensive XL variant (dual-cab pick-up with the bi-turbo engine) is now $53,680.

To get into a V6 Ranger, the starting price is now $63,290 for a 4WD XLT Double Cab chassis, up $1000 as with all other V6-powered Rangers aside from the Raptor.

The Sport pick-up, with 2.0-litre engine, now starts from $64,490, while a near-top-spec 4WD Wildtrak dual-cab now costs $71,190.

Ford has also added an optional 20-inch machined-face alloy wheel for the Wildtrak, fitted with all-season tyres and priced at $500.

Finally, the Ford Ranger Raptor is up $1300 to a new price of $86,790. That’s just over $50,000 more than the entry-level Ranger.

The Raptor’s twin-turbo petrol V6 makes 292kW of power at 5650rpm and 583Nm of torque at 3500rpm instead of the diesel V6’s 184kW/600Nm.
