Looking good, hopefully the pricing won't be mad. Nevertheless, I think they are going to sell a crapload of them.

2023 Ford Ranger: Entry-level model first look
The all-new 2023 Ford Ranger has been revealed and while all eyes are on the striking XLT and Wildtrak models, we wonder what the entry-level model will look like. Wonder no more!
The new 2023 Ford Ranger looks to be one very impressive offering. Combining modern fresh looks with what appears to be one of the most digitally advanced cabins, the new Ranger is sure to take the market by storm when it touches down in 2022.
Ford South Africa says the order books open in the 2nd quarter of 2022 and while the engine and derivatives are yet to be confirmed, we do know that the engines on offer range from the 2.0-litre single turbo and 2.0-litre bi-turbo diesels, as well as a 2.3-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol motor.
The big headline news as far as engines go is the confirmation from Ford that a 3.0-litre turbocharged V6 diesel will make its debut in the Ranger. Whether the SA market will get this engine remains to be seen.
The interior we have seen in the Wildtrak and XLT press images has impressed us. There’s a huge focus on digitalisation and the huge talking point will be the inclusion of a portrait-orientated oversized infotainment screen with Ford’s SYNC4. We’re yet to see it in the metal, but so far, the Wildtrak and XLT look tantalising.
It’s all very well lusting after the flagship luxury models, but in the case of double-cab bakkies, they’re expecting to fulfil both lifestyle and commercial roles. What about the workhorse aspect of the all-new Ford Ranger? While there’s been virtually no coverage of the single-cab or entry-level Ranger derivatives, a deep-dive into the various Ford media websites turned up some images.

Have to agree on the current model only having the XLT in 2.0 SiT and not Bi-Turbo was an oversight (Aus had the bi-turbo).
I would definitely buy the XLT V6.

Hybrid powertrains to be introduced in new Ford Ranger
The all-new Ford Ranger will be launched with four different powertrains but in a push to make the double-cab bakkie more eco-friendly, the brand is looking at introducing a hybrid-electric option.
According to quotes sourced by Drive, the platform used for this Ford Ranger has been built with adopting a hybrid powertrain in mind. These variants, which will also be introduced on the upcoming Everest, are expected to see a global introduction by 2024.
Not much information regarding this model is available as of yet but it is understood that these will be popular options in Europe and North America, where strict regulations are being placed on internal combustion engine cars.
An engineer for the 2022 Ford Ranger told a roundtable meeting, the new chassis design “created more space under the bonnet to fit the V6 diesel engine, and helped ‘future-proof’ the Ranger for other propulsion technologies.”
Another engineer added that “We have enabled electrification in the platform. We’re not going to talk about that in any more detail right now … and when they’re available.
“But, you know, electrification … globally is coming and it’s a global pickup, so we have many, many customer needs and we have to satisfy those needs.”

New Ford Ranger engine line-up will still cater for cost-conscious consumers
The new Ford Ranger was revealed to much fanfare earlier this week, and well-heeled bakkie fans are no doubt looking forward to the new V6 turbodiesel variant that has been promised.
Of course Ford also announced that the current single- and twin-turbo 2.0-litre turbodiesel motors would soldier on with some improvements - which makes sense because they are still very modern. But the company also stated that the current 3.2-litre and 2.2-litre turbodiesels would fall away completely.
But will the departure of the 2.2-litre diesel, which is the lifeblood of the current lower-end Ranger line-up, lead to the entry price of the new Ford Ranger being much higher? Thankfully this doesn’t appear to be the case.
During the reveal ceremony this week, a Ford spokesperson said that the new engine range would cover the “full bandwidth” of today’s line-up, while still looking after cost-conscious customers.
Ford has not yet disclosed any power or torque figures for the new Ranger, however we do know that the single-turbo version of the 2.0-litre diesel will be offered in two output variants. Given that the current single-turbo motor produces 132kW and 420Nm, putting it into contention with mid-range bakkies, it is likely that the more powerful of the two single-turbos will be somewhere in that ballpark, while the less powerful version should fall within the bandwidth of the current 2.2-litre motor, which is currently offered in 88kW/285Nm and 118kW/385Nm guises. Dare we suggest an output of around 110kW to directly take on the 2.4-litre Hilux.

2023 Ford Ranger Raptor Teased
The all-new 2023 Ford Ranger Raptor will be revealed in February next year. Here’s what we know so far.
The dust has just settled after the big reveal of the all-new Ford Ranger. The good news is that it will be built right here in South Africa and will feature a brand-new 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine as well as debut an advanced digital infotainment system and much more. The bad news is we’re going to have to wait a bit as the order books only open in the 2nd quarter of 2022.
Then there’s the question of the Raptor. While there was no mention of the 2023 Ford Ranger Raptor, a teaser video was quietly released onto YouTube and while there’s very little to go on, crucially you can hear an engine note. Now we’d like to say we can identify an engine by listening to it, but the below video has us stumped.
When will the 2023 Ford Ranger Raptor be revealed?
The all-new Ranger Raptor will be revealed in February 2022 and more details will be available then.

The 2.2 is surprisingly efficient, hopefully the new engine they get for the entry level range will be just as efficient.
Agreed. Running a fleet of 7x 2.2 single cabs. All average 10L/100km or less. All driven by drivers who don't give AF about brake pads, diesel or tyres....

I've been averaging 8l/100 since I got mine, not really trying to get lower, will try for lower when we go on our first big holiday. How has the reliability been on your fleet?
Oldest is 5yrs 135k mileage. Youngest is a 2021 with 15k mileage.
The older one's have had some turbo sensor issues replaced inder warranty. Also an older one needed a new turbo under warranty but it was replaced before a full failure. The oldest needed a front left wheel bearing 2 months ago.
Other than that, all good.
My 3.2 XLT is approaching 100k mileage and 5yrs. Extended the warranty on this one and a CAT replacement already paid us back. Love it as my daily and will see through the full finance agreement until settlement and then chuck the R220-R250k trade in / private sale cash in as a deposit on a 2023 XLT.
