Ford Philippines is taking functionality and capability to the next level with the launch of the New Ford Ranger Sport Special Edition. Building on the foundation of the popular Ranger Sport, this new variant introduces key enhancements designed to elevate both daily driving and occasional off-roading experiences for pickup truck enthusiasts.
The Ranger Sport Special Edition stands out with a striking long leg sports bar that extends from the cab towards the rear. This feature not only lends the pickup a more rugged and assertive profile but also provides practical protective support when hauling heavy or uneven cargo. Inside, a thoughtful addition is the integration of retractable cup holders into the instrument panel – a convenient feature directly addressing feedback from many Ford customers.
Built Tough: Performance and Capability You Can Rely On
Beyond its functional accessories, the Ranger Sport Special Edition inherits the proven, solid engineering synonymous with every Ford Ranger. Powering this special edition is a dependable 2.0L Single Turbo Diesel engine paired with a smooth six-speed automatic transmission, delivering a consistent 170 PS and 405Nm of output, ready for any task and any terrain. Available in both 4×2 and 4×4 configurations, the Ranger Sport Special Edition is truly equipped to handle challenging conditions.
The Ranger Sport Special Edition’s suspension system, featuring a front double wishbone chassis and rear leaf springs, works in harmony to provide a comfortable and composed ride, regardless of the road surface. Confident stopping power is assured with front ventilated disc and rear drum brakes, complemented by stylish 18-inch alloy wheels.
Inside, the spacious cabin maintains the driver-focused cockpit found across the entire Ranger family, featuring an 8-inch digital instrument cluster that perfectly suits the modern adventurer. Connectivity is seamless with a 10-inch touchscreen panel offering smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
“The Ranger portfolio continues to grow with the Ranger Sport Special Edition – perfect for pickup customers who are looking for a more functional truck for loading or hauling, but with the same dynamic look and features found on the Ranger Sport,” shares Ryan Lorenzo, director, Retail Product Marketing and Business Growth, Ford Philippines. “With the Ranger Sport Special Edition, we are making standard relevant features like the sports bar and cup holder that our customers have been asking for, enhancing the overall Ranger experience.”
The Ranger Sport Special Edition is available at a starting retail price of P1,529,000 and comes in a range of appealing colors: Absolute Black, Arctic White, Blue Lightning, and Meteor Grey. It includes a reassuring 5-year vehicle warranty for a worry-free ownership experience. Additionally, it’s equipped with FordPass, offering users convenient remote access features such as remote door lock & unlock, remote engine stop & start with pre-cooling, vehicle locator, and vehicle status updates.
