Ford Ranger Platinum Reviews, Specs & News

FROM $60,500

The 2023 - 2026 Ford Ranger Platinum is currently priced from $60,500.

Carsguide Contributing Journalist Andrew Chesterton had this to say at the time: If you can stomach the asking price, you'll find the Ford Ranger Platinum does everything you need your ute to do with plenty of kit, space and pep. And, if you're like me, you'll find it does lots of stuff you don't need it to do, as well. More than a worksite tool or a bush-bashing bruiser, the once-humble ute can definitely double as a family transporter.

This is what Andrew Chesterton liked most about this particular version of the Ford Ranger Platinum: Super practical for carrying cargo, Car-like in the way it rides and steers, Disguises its size from behind the wheel.
