Ford NZ is offering the FX4 Special Edition as part of the Ranger line-up from December this year.
Based on the Ranger XLT double-cab, the FX4 will be offered with the latest generation 2-litre bi-turbo,10-speed powertrain as standard on either the 4WD or 2WD.
Featuring 157kW/500Nm, 3500Kg towing capacity and a fuel efficiency figure of 6.7 litres/100km combined for the 2WD and 7.4 litres/100km combined on the 4WD.
“We are excited to be able to offer our customers the new FX4 with the Bi-Turbo engine alongside the class-leading ten speed automatic transmission,” Ford NZ managing director Simon Rutherford says.
“To have the addition of both a 4WD and 2WD Ranger FX4 really steps things up for them and it is the first time we have offered the Bi-Turbo/10-Speed combination in a 2WD Ranger.
“And it’s all wrapped in its very own design elements and features, to offer customers a Ranger with a genuine identity as a stand-alone model.”
The Ranger FX4 Bi-Turbo sits between the Ranger XLT and the Ranger Wildtrak models, giving customers greater choice with a unique package.
Driver assist technology and adaptive cruise control adds to safety with the Ford Ranger line-up rated at five-stars by the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP).
