May 21, 20232023 Ford Ranger and Ranger Raptor pricing revealed for Australia
Ford Australia has revealed local pricing for the all-new 2023 Ford Ranger line up, which starts at $35,930 before on-road costs – a $1040 jump over the outgoing model's entry-level cost.
That price will get you the workmanlike Ranger XL 4x2 Single Cab with the 125kW/405Nm 2.0-litre single-turbo diesel with six-speed auto powertrain (2.0L SiT 6AT).
The new 2023 Ford Ranger is now on sale in Australia, and the local media launch has been run. The Wheels and 4x4 Australia teams have both driven the new Ranger, and you can find their stories at the links below.
UPDATE, September 12: The Ranger now has a five-star ANCAP rating. Story here.
If you want a 4x4 Ranger on a budget, the cheapest option is the XL 4x4 Single cab-chassis powered by the 154kW/500nM 2.0-litre bi-turbo diesel with 10-speed auto (2.0 BiT 10AT) priced at $47,030 before on-road costs – a $1740 premium over the current model.
Four-wheel-drive double-cab pick-up pricing begins at $49,930 before on-road costs for the XL 4x4 Double PU 2.0L SiT 6AT, or $53,430 plus on-road costs with the more highway-friendly bi-turbo.
The popular XLT double-cab pick-up and cab-chassis are available with 2.0 BiT 10AT, and a new 184kW/600Nm 3.0L V6 turbo-diesel engine that's also coupled with the 10-speed auto (3.0L V6 10AT) for an additional $3000.
Ranger XLT 4x4 pricing remains unchanged from the current model and starts at $51,190 before on-road costs, with the 4x2 Hi-Rider pick up costing an extra $700.
The Ranger Sport 4x4 double cab returns with the same powertrains as XLT to bridge the gap between that and Wildtrak, with pricing starting at $63,690 plus on-roads.
The Wildtrak also has both powertrain options, with its $67,190 starting price jumping by $1100 before on-road costs.
The range-topping Ranger Raptor price tag has risen by about $6000 to $85,490 plus on-road costs with the extra coin bringing new punchy petrol powertrain consisting of a 3.0 litre V6 Twin-Turbo EcoBoost engine producing 292kW4 and 583Nm.
Ford dealers are now taking orders for the 2023 Ford Ranger, with vehicle arrivals scheduled to start from June, 2022.
