A new entry-level engine is the big news in Ford's latest upgrade of the Ranger dual-cab. Gone is the old two-litre turbo-diesel with its twin turbochargers and 154kW, and in comes a simplified, unit with one less turbo and 29 fewer kiloWatts.

Our first drive around Ford's proving ground on both a high-speed ride/handling circuit and off-road course has revealed the magnitude of progress the new Ranger V6 makes. The prototype highlighted the stirring speed and performance on offer, while the new 4WD system and re-engineered three-piece chassis handled the rough stuff with impressive ease. The signs are looking very promising indeed.

The Ford Ranger line-up will never stop growing. Now there's a Ranger FX4 Max, which fills the previously unimagined niche between the XLT, Wildtrak and Raptor models, with a sensible setup and some intentional additions from the flagship ute that make it something different, yet very similar, all at the same time.

The automotive equivalent of multi-tasking - which could be why most cars are assigned the female gender - has invaded the light-commercial market.
