CarExpert's Take
William Stopford
News Editor
William Stopford drove this car and these were their findings:

- Sonorous, effortless V8
- Spacious, modern cabin
- Surprising fuel efficiency
Misses
- No capped-price servicing
- Short warranty
- A bit more ponderous than an F-150

Max Davies drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Buttery V6 diesel
- Robust tech inside and out
- Still indisputably the non-PHEV ute benchmark
Misses
- There are more logical Rangers at better prices
- Generally expensive compared to rivals
- No tonneau cover as standard
Colours Available
Ford is giving its gen-two Ranger and Ranger Raptor a handful of colours including some brilliant bright colours for the alter, including one exclusive to the flagship ute.
However, if you like 50 shades of grey – or, in this case, three – you’ll still have some options that’ll suit.
The colour palette comprises the following:
- Absolute Black
- Aluminium
- Arctic White
- Blue Lightning
- Meteor Grey
- Sedona Orange
- Luxe Yellow (Wildtrak only)
- Code Orange (Raptor only)
- Conquer Grey (Raptor only)

2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 review
The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is refreshingly old-school in some ways, but with all the latest technology you'd expect in a full-sized pickup.

2025 Ford Ranger Sport V6 review
Ford's best-seller still justifies its position as an Aussie favourite, especially in Sport V6 form, but more rivals are signing up every day.
