Thanks for chiming in with that. For a second there I was thinking perhaps the new Ranger was going to be a little less new than expected.

I've had a bugger of a week and had to read your post 5 times. Each time thinking what on earth is Boss talking about with a pillar being shallower....then the last 5 brain cells kicked in when my arm slipped off the office chair arm rest...I realised you meant the A-pillar of the windscreen...

The basic shape of the tail lights looks very similar as well.

[simon varley]

note the centre brake light in the tailgate handle not on the roof

[simon varley]

and the shark fin roof aerial

[BENT_8]

Raptor guards front and rear, widen the hip line of the doors to blend, a few new creases in the tailgate, some subtle cosmetic additions/alterations, the American front end all differentiated by the engine code.

What month do you think Ford will come out with more info on the new ranger. Is that something you think they will announce the specs this year?

Hoping sooner rather than later. My dad has a deposit at his local dealer pending this information…. He’s tentatively booked an xlt V6 diesel (if available, pending price and specs) to replace his 2016 Triton. The dealer has no idea when they will know more…

Soon.

A couple of photos showing the front of the new Ranger getting around on Instagram this evening, very much Baby F Series front end rather than the Maverick sort of styling thankfully, I’m sold, will be making some enquires re an XLT once the power train details are released.

[naddis01]

These ones...

[FPV8U]

Yep, that’s them.

[nibble]

Looks aight !!

[Adamz Ghia]

So pretty much a bigger version of a Maverick. Not that I’m complaining!

[au2000]

Pretty much the images of the clay model that was featured by wheels a few months back

Except headlights are vertical.

Not quite. Few changes here and there. It was probably an early styling buck that copped changes, before eventually being signed off.

Nice find. It doesn’t look like a v6 engine at 1:04 of the video…..

Keeping us guessing because in some of the other vids it sounds better than a 4.

not really sure you can tell too much from that shot other than the hose isn't clipped in properly

Tested to Extremes: Next-Gen Ranger's Punishing Path to Customers
When it comes to testing the next-generation Ranger's toughness and durability, our global team of development engineers don't pull any punches. So far, next-generation Ranger testing has covered around 10,000km of desert driving, the equivalent of 1,250,000km of customer driving, and the equivalent of 625,000km of rugged off-road durability testing at maximum load capacity, and testing is continuing around the world. But even before the first prototypes hit the road for testing, Ford's engineers subjected next-gen Ranger to thousands of hours of computer simulations and thousands more of real-world simulations in labs, covering everything from aerodynamics to component and structure durability. So it is more than to face everything life throws at it! Find out more here (link)
SHORT VERSION:
The next-generation Ranger is more than ready to face everything life throws at it given testing its toughness and durability involves…

around 10,000km of desert driving,
the equivalent of 1,250,000km of customer driving
the equivalent of 625,000km of rugged off-road durability testing at maximum load capacity

And yet you can garantee stuff will go wrong with it while doing a shopping run

Yet the aftermarket will still convince people that it needs extra cooling or that it can't really handle the advertised pay load without modifying the suspension

[simon varley]

some things have been revealed. some more surprises to come

TC1603 is an Everest isn't it?...scratch that, I forgot current Wildtraks get roof rails.

yup, they've not built those just yet
