2019 Ford Ranger Reviews

The dual-cab ute market is huge, and this test is a big one, too. We've assembled the six most popular 4x4 utes to see which is the king of the class.The contenders include the big-selling Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger, as well as the Holden Colorado, Nissan Navara, Isuzu D-Max and Mitsubishi Triton.Which will win? Read on to find out!

Three of the best factory-prepped 4WDs in Australia go head to head in the bush, on sand, through water and up some very steep hills

Who would have thought that the Toyota HiLux, Ford Ranger and Mitsubishi Triton would at times be battling for the top spot on the sales charts?But that's the case, and dual cab four-wheel drives are the flavour of choice for buyers. So we assembled the HiLux Rogue, Ranger XLT and Triton GLS Premium in order to see how they compare to help you find out where you should be spending your money.

They say perception is reality and many ute buyers have had a hard time getting their head around a Ford Ranger powered by a 2.0-litre engine. So, is it a smarter option than a big six?

The VW Amarok V6 Ultimate 580 is the most powerful dual-cab diesel ute you can buy. Ford now offers the most powerful four-cylinder diesel ute in the Ranger Wildtrak Bi-Turbo. We've put them against each other to see which is the more rounded ute for its asking price.

It might be at home bashing its way across vast outback deserts, but how does Ford's Ranger Raptor perform when challenged with the more mundane tasks of day-to-day life? We put it to the test.

Does Ford dare mess with its winning Ranger formula, or should it push the boat out to try and claim a technological edge?
