EARLIER this week Ford Australia revealed details of its 2019 updates to the PX Ranger, the big news of which was the inclusion of the 157kW/500Nm 2.0L bi-turbo diesel engine and 10-speed automatic transmission lifted straight from the off-road-focused Ranger Raptor.

This engine and transmission combo will be optional on Ranger XLT and Wildtrak models at a cost of just $1200. Elsewhere across the range, the grunty 3.2L five-cylinder diesel and 2.2L four-cylinder engines remain available.

Across the Ranger line-up all variants now benefit from more features including a five-year unlimited kilometre factory warranty, free map updates on SYNC3 system, a service price promise and low price tyre guarantee through Ford dealerships.

Ranger XLT will be available with a class-leading tech package which includes Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), semi auto active park assist, Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR), a Driver Impairment Monitor, adaptive cruise control with forward collision alert, Lane Keep Assist/Lane Departure Warning, and auto high beam. This is a $1700 option on Ranger XLT and comes standard on the Wildtrak.
