Stop thinking of the Wrangler as an off-road vehicle and try out the new Ford Ranger pickup truck

Nowadays, hardcore off-road SUVs have already shaken the world. This is an indisputable fact. Seeing that Land Cruiser, Land Rover Defender, FJ Cruiser and Mitsubishi Pajero are about to leave us, there are fewer and fewer SUVs that can carry people's off-road sentiments. This raises the question, are SUVs the only ones that can carry off-road sentiments? Can't pickup trucks do the same?

Recently, Ford released its new pickup truck Ranger at the North American International Auto Show. Maybe you are unfamiliar with the Ranger brand and think it is a new generation model. In fact, this car has been sold in Australia and Southeast Asia for a long time. This time it was just announced that it will return to the US market. It can barely be regarded as a new generation model! (Official account: x91play) And according to official news, the new Ranger model will also be introduced to the Chinese market this year.

As it is a global mid-term facelift model, the exterior and interior design have not changed much. Toughness and dominance are the standard temperament of pickup trucks, and so is Ranger. All-terrain tires, off-road raised shock absorbers, and terrain management system make Ranger worthy of its name. In addition, the transfer case of the four-wheel drive version will provide three gears: 2H two-wheel drive high speed/4H four-wheel drive high speed/4L four-wheel drive low speed.

Although it is a hardcore off-road pickup truck, the interior design of Range is very technological. The new car is equipped with a large-size driving computer display screen on the instrument panel and an 8-inch central control display screen. In addition, a variety of configurations such as on-board 4G hotspot, power socket, B&O audio can be optional.

The new Ranger will be equipped with a 2.3T gasoline engine and the transmission system will be matched with the first 10-speed automatic transmission in the same class. I believe that when it is introduced to the Chinese market in the future, it will also be equipped with the same power system. Compared with the new generation of Ford F-150, the price of Range is expected to be lower than that of Ford F-150.

Friends who like to play off-road in the future may wish to try a pickup truck.
