The title says it all – The Ford Ranger Super Cab XLT is not only super by name, but super by nature!
Whether you’re gearing up to tackle the rugged outback terrain and exploring all corners of the country, loading up the tools and heading to the job site or simply ducking down to the supermarket to grab some meat for the barbecue, the Ranger Super Cab does it all in style.
Powered by the popular 2.0-litre Bi-Turbo four cylinder, the Ranger Super Cab uses it’s 154kW engine and 500Nm of torque to make full use of its extended rear tub to tackle everything from odd jobs to heavy hauling, all while retaining the Ranger 3500kg braked towing capacity.
Exterior wise the same top-notch styling as the dual cab ute remains up front and across the rear tail-gate, but in the middle is where the Super Cab makes way for the extra rear room out back.
Also helping light the road ahead of you in the darkest of nights are the iconic Ford C-Clamp LED headlights.
Opening up the front driver and passenger doors and unlatching the reverse-swing rear doors allows easy access to pop equipment bags or items – or even relegate the apprentices to the back seat on the way to the job site – with the wide open angle allowing extremely easy access for passengers when the need arises.
Sturdy side steps also help entry and exit access to the Ranger, while a black sports bar also adds a touch of style to the rear tub while also being functional for additional tie down points.
There’s even the option of adding All-Terrain tyres and a Touring Pack consisting off a 360-degree camera, puddle lamps on the exterior mirror, four zone lighting, an auxilliary 6-switch pack, cargo management system and pro trailer backup assistance – which, after experiencing on this demo model – is a must have for those who like to do a bit of adventuring.
In the way of paint colours you get to choose from all the Ford favourites including Arctic White as standard, as well as Meteor Grey, Aluminium Silver, Blue Lightning and Shadow Black for an additional cost.
Inside you’re treated to a number of nifty gadgets and features, with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Satellite Navigation controlled through a high-quality 10.1 inch LCD portrait touch screen unit, while dual-zone climate control also helps keep occupants comfortable inside the cabin.
In the way of safety you can rest assured Ford has you covered, with adaptive cruise control, traffic sign recognition and lane centring functionality, blindspot monitoring with cross traffic alert, lane keep and road edge detection, forward collision alert and driver alert system as well as making use of the embedded modem with FordPass connectivity to engage emergency assistance.
If that isn’t enough, there’s also 9 airbags and autonomous emergency braking with junction assistance to help achieve a 5-Star ANCAP Safety Rating.
All this is nice, but what’s nicer his just how good this beaut ute sits on the road.
Power delivery is smooth and direct and has enough torque to get up and going with or without cargo in tow around town and on the open road.
Steering is also much lighter and sharper than the previous generation of Ranger and is a delight to pilot in comfort.
Crusing around the region with our favourite tunes cranking through the audio system had us feeling like we were in a regular road car and not a diesel utility, which is a big tick of approval for the designers for creating such a vehicle that can do it all without compromising ride quality.
Ford has also ensured there is a number of factory options and accessories available across the Space Cab range. Whether you’re after a bull bar, tonneau cover, option grille, tub roller shutter, carry bars, towing mirrors, upgraded suspension options, interior goodies, dash cams or dual battery system, the team at Barry Maney Ford can ensure your brand new Ranger XLT Super Cab is ready to go just how you want it right off the showroom floor.
What’s even better is right now a $3000 factory bonus is available for buyers to take advantage of and grab some of these optional extras to spec up their brand new Ford Ranger Super Cab XLTs!
