It seems like the blink of an eye but Ford’s current, all-conquering Ranger ute has been on sale in the Australian new-car market for two years.
And despite the fact it remains the top-selling vehicle in the country year-to-date (in the process, leading its Toyota HiLux nemesis) the powers that be at the Blue Oval have decided it’s time to introduce a new Black Edition to keep interest up and the sales momentum rolling.
Limited to 1500 units, the Black Edition is based on the Ranger XL Bi-turbo 4x4 dual-cab ute, the new model adding a sports bar, a drop-in bedliner with 12V socket and in-built cargo management system as well as unique 17-inch ‘Asphalt Black’ alloy wheels shod with Bridgestone Dueler all-terrain tyres. There are also black side steps and a ‘Asphalt Black’ mesh grille with ‘Bolder Grey’ inserts.

Cost-of-entry is $56,680, before on-road costs, or if you stick with standard (no-cost) ‘Arctic White’ paint the Ranger Black Edition is $57,990, drive-away. For reference, the Ranger XL Bi-turbo 4x4 has an MSRP of $54,380.
Options include a ‘Towing Pack’ ($1900), manual roller shutter ($3000), prestige paint ($700) and if you’d prefer life without the auto stop-start function it’s a $0 delete.
Ford Australia says Ranger Black Edition production is already underway with the first customer deliveries expected in the third quarter of this year.
