    You should service your Ranger at your authorised Ford dealer or service centre, however servicing it at third party mechanics that follow OEM servicing instructions should not impact the Ranger’s warranty.

    How does the 2022 Ford Ranger drive?

    Our expert take on Ford Ranger drivability.

    It’s quicker than most of its rivals in a straight line, although the Wildtrak V6 can’t match V8 trucks from the USA, and the torquey turbo-diesel engine combines with a smart suspension tune to make it comfortable with a 2500kg caravan hooked up. Likewise, it performed well against our high-tech trailer dyne.

    Off-road, it wasn’t fazed by any of our tests. Along with solid hardware, all the onboard technology makes actually unlocking the car’s capability simple for nervous off-roaders.

    Also on hand to make life easier for nervous off-roaders are the excellent front-view camera and a range of preset off-road modes. Not sure how to set up your four-wheel drive system? Choose your terrain using the dial, and let the car work it out for you.

    It sets a new benchmark for dual-cab utes, and its rivals have some serious catching up to do.

    The Ranger’s Aussie DNA remains evident once you break out of the city limits and find yourself loping along ungraded gravel and coarse tarmac.

    It rides over corrugations with a minimum of fuss, offering plenty of softness in the suspension, matched with good amounts of control on rebound — even when there’s nothing heavy in the tub.

    It’s also quiet in terms of the degree to which tyre roar, wind noise, and engine gruffness are filtered out of the cabin at cruise.

    While the core ladder frame and coil front/leaf rear suspension setups are familiar, Ford Australia’s engineers added 50mm in track width and moved the dampers outboard, theoretically tamping down ever further on hopping and bouncing when lightly laden.

    It’s also worth noting that Rangers graded XLT, Sport and Wildtrak now have rear disc brakes rather than drums.

    The Bi-Turbo four is largely familiar but Ford has made some changes to iron out some bugs that affected the first iteration – there were indeed some issues.

    Its sequential, differently-sized turbos cut lag, and the gear spacings perhaps felt better in this incarnation, meaning it seemed less fussy or prone to hunt about for the perfect ratio. It does still have a slim peak torque band, but overall it’s a refined and sufficiently punchy setup.

    Yes, most people will lust after the $3000 more expensive V6, but the Bi-Turbo four offers the sort of punch its displacement belies, and there’ll almost certainly be much shorter wait lists.

    The headline V6 offers better punch – 30kW and 100Nm to be precise – as you would expect, as well as idle stop/start and the aforementioned permanent 4WD. It’s also quite refined from outside, with a fairly muted diesel idle.

    Overall it offers more immediate punch off the mark as well as better traction in the right setup, and a superior surge of torque from 1750rpm for easier overtaking. It isn’t hard to see the appeal, and it certainly puts a D-Max or HiLux in the shade for refinement and performance.

    The difference in fuel use between the four-cylinder (7.6L/100km) and V6 (8.4L/100km) is actually quite small.

    The base four-wheel drive system available with the 2.0-litre single- and twin-turbo four-cylinder diesel engines is a part-time system with a two-speed electronic shift-on-the-fly transfer case featuring 2H, 4H and 4L modes.

    It’s what we have come to expect from most dual-cab utes, forcing owners to manually shift from two- to four-wheel drive when the going gets rough. It shouldn’t be driven in four-wheel drive on sealed roads.

    The 2024 Ford Ranger with the 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel or 3.0-litre V6 twin-turbo petrol engines, however, feature an on-demand four-wheel drive system that offers the same 2H, 4H and 4L modes, but also has a 4A automatic mode that can be used on “high-traction surfaces” like paved roads.

    This 4A mode when selected can continuously distribute power between the front and rear axles for “optimum performance in all on-road conditions”. Essentially, it behaves like an all-wheel drive car in 4A.

    There’s also an electronic rear differential lock that can be activated through the Sync4 infotainment touchscreen.

    Depending on the Ranger variant, there are a variety of drive modes that change the vehicle’s throttle response, gearshifts, traction control and ABS. These include the following:

    • Normal
    • Eco
    • Sport
    • Tow/Haul
    • Slippery
    • Mud/Ruts (off-road use)
    • Sand (off-road use)
    • Baja
    • Rock Crawl

    Available on some models is an Off-Road Screen (ORS) that’s able to display the following information:

    • Driveline and electronic diff lock indication
    • Steering angle
    • Vehicle pitch and roll angles
    • Off-road features buttons

    A surround-view camera, which is available on some models, can also be interacted with in this ORS.

    If you're interested in getting behind the wheel of the Ranger for yourself, you can find your local Ford dealership via the Ford website.

    2022 Ford Ranger Warranty

    What is the warranty on a Ford Ranger?

    The Ford Ranger offers a 5 year unlimited kilometre warranty. This is separate to the warranty on offer under Australian Consumer Law which can be greater for certain parts based on what is deemed as a reasonable period of time.

    2022 Ford Ranger vs other Ute's to consider

    The Ford Ranger's most direct rival is the Toyota HiLux, which has been on sale in its current form since 2015.

    The Ranger also competes against the recently updated Isuzu D-Max and Mazda BT-50 siblings, as well as the Volkswagen Amarok, among others.

    The Amarok is the only ute for sale on the Australian market at the moment, besides the Ranger, with the option of a V6 diesel engine.

    A new-generation Volkswagen Amarok was recently revealed and is based on the Ford Ranger and shares its engines.

    Should you buy the 2022 Ford Ranger

    Is this the right car for you? Out experts buy or not guide.

    The Ford Ranger is a strong contender if you’re looking for a midsize pickup that combines rugged capability with modern features. It’s well-suited for both work and play, offering durable construction, ample cargo space, and a versatile design. The interior provides comfort and practicality, while the infotainment system keeps you connected and entertained. If you need a truck with off-road capability, towing power, and everyday usability, the Ranger is a solid choice. However, if you prioritize maximum payload or towing capacity, you might want to consider a full-size truck.
