Inovev forecasts 400,000 units per year of the new Ford Ranger
- Ford has unveiled the fourth generation of its mid-range pickup, the Ranger, the previous generation dated from 2012. Aesthetically speaking, this new generation only seems to be a facelift (the entire front end has been redesigned inspired by the Ford F Series) but in reality everything is new, since the platform is different (widened underbody, extended wheelbase, adaptation to electric motorisations and battery) but the length of the vehicle remains the same (5.36 m).
- The engines have also evolved as Ford now offers a 3-liter V6 diesel in addition to the 2-liter four-cylinder diesel. Importantly, Ford has indicated that a battery electric version will be released in the next two to three years. A 2.3-liter petrol version will be launched next year in the United States and some non-European markets. Also, the new Ford Ranger could be the base to the future Volkswagen Amarok, which has been ended recently.
- The new Ford Ranger will go into production in early 2022 in the four countries where it is already produced today: the United States (for the North American markets), Thailand (for the Asian and European markets) , South Africa (for African markets) and Argentina (for South American markets). Inovev forecasts 400,000 units per year for all of these countries. That's half as much as the Ford F-Series (upper segment pickup), but the Ranger has gradually become the second-best-selling model of the American carmaker, behind the F-Series. The 2012-2021 generation of the model has been a great success since its sales rose from 170,000 in 2013 to 365,000 in 2021, with a peak of 400,000 units in 2019.
