The Ford Ranger Black Edition has joined the best-selling ute’s already wide lineup, bringing greater value to buyers of the entry-level dual-cab.
Based on the Ford Ranger XL 4×4 dual-cab bi-turbo ute, the Black Edition is limited to just 1500 examples, with Australian deliveries due to start between now and the end of September 2024.
Priced from $56,680 before on-road costs, its list price is $2300 dearer than the grade upon which it’s based.
However, it wears a nationwide drive-away price of $57,990 drive-away when finished in the no-cost Arctic White paint, making it between $1851 and $4292 cheaper than its XL counterpart.
