Multimedia and safety technology: 9/10

Best I have seen, but I know there is better out there.

Practicality: 9/10

Luxurious and spacious enough.

Driving: 9/10

You love the Ranger for its rugged reliability, off-road prowess, bold design, and the freedom it gives you to explore without limits.

Running costs: 7/10

Fuel is to be expected for the extra gear I have on it. Servicing is dear and insurance crap.

Reliability: 9/10

It's been reliable so far.
