Ford Australia has confirmed pricing for its special-edition Ranger FX4, with the blacked-out 4x4 dual-cab pick-up “initially” limited to 1000 units and available in three variants.

Attracting a $2500 premium over the full-time XLT grade it is based upon, the FX4 can be had with a 147kW/470Nm 3.2-litre turbo-diesel five-cylinder engine, either with a six-speed manual ($59,140 plus on-road costs) or a six-speed torque-converter automatic ($61,340).

Alternatively, buyers can opt for a 157kW/500Nm 2.0-litre twin-turbo four-cylinder diesel engine, which is exclusively mated to a 10-speed torque-converter automatic ($62,840).

As reported, the FX4 is fitted with a fresh set of 18-inch alloy wheels, a unique mesh grille insert and an extended sports bar, all of which are finished in black. It also adds a black decal package with red ‘FX4’ branding.

Inside, black leather seat upholstery, red stitching and Tinted Graphite trim help the FX4 standout in the Ranger crowd.

There's no mistaking the FX4 for a garden-variety Ranger thanks to its prominent red branding.

Standard equipment otherwise includes dusk-sensing bi-LED headlights, keyless entry and start, an 8.0-inch touchscreen Sync3 multimedia system, satellite navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, dual-zone climate control, autonomous emergency braking (AEB) and lane-keep assist, among other features.

Adaptive cruise control and park assist can also be had as part of an $800 options package.

The FX4 is available with five paintwork options. Artic White and True Red are no-cost colours, while Shadow Black, Meteor Grey and Aluminium command a $650 premium.

Like all Ranger grades, the FX4 comes with Ford Australia's five-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty.

Tinted Graphite trims features prominently on the FX4's dashboard and door shoulders.

Justin’s dad chose to miss his birth because he wanted to watch Peter Brock hopefully win Bathurst, so it figures Justin grew up to have a car obsession, too – and don’t worry, his dad did turn up in time after some stern words from his mum. That said, despite loving cars and writing, Justin chose to pursue career paths that didn’t lend themselves to automotive journalism, before eventually ending up working as a computer technician. But that car itch just couldn’t be scratched by his chipped Volkswagen Golf R (Mk7), so he finally decided to give into the inevitable and study a Master of Journalism at the same time. And even with the long odds, Justin was lucky enough to land a full-time job as a motoring journalist soon after graduating and the rest, as they say, is history. These days, Justin happily finds himself working at CarsGuide during the biggest period of change yet for the automotive industry, which is perhaps the most exciting part of all. In case you’re wondering, Justin begrudgingly sold the Golf R (sans chip) and still has plans to buy his dream car, an E46 BMW M3 coupe (manual, of course), but he is in desperate need of a second car space – or maybe a third.
