What about all new 2022 Ford Ranger?

For 4x4 ute buyers with no inclination to switch to electric, the new 2022 Ford Ranger hears you loud and clear. By the end of the year, Ford Australia will confirm details of the next-gen dual cab, which Wheels readers will have already seen via our exclusive leaked photographs.

But while we do know the next Ranger will be plug-in capable, Australia won’t likely see a piece of that action at launch. Instead, with the five-cylinder diesel gone, a turbo-diesel V6 seems likely (probably a variant of the 3.0-litre Powerstroke unit offered in the F-150), as well as an updated version of the current 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel. For the Ranger Raptor, there’s tipped to be a twin-turbo petrol V6, though we’re not expecting to see this until at least 2023.

The 2022 Ranger will be built on an evolution of the current T6 platform, with key alterations to allow for hybridisation and electrification, possibly with dimensional changes and revised rear suspension to improve traction and ride.
