Ford Australia is introducing a limited-run special-edition ‘work-ready’ Ranger called the Tradie.

Based on the Ranger XL 4×4 Double Cab Pick-Up, the Ranger Tradie is powered by a 3.2-litre, five-cylinder turbo diesel with six-speed automatic transmission as standard. The 4×4 system features both high- and low-range 4×4 with locking rear differential as well as 800mm water-wading ability.

Its factory-fitted features include a protective bedliner, towbar, a 20.5-inch LED light bar, and a host of standard tech features, including SYNC 3 with 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone compatibility. Available connected services via the FordPass App include remote locking/unlocking, remote vehicle start and vehicle status updates.

The Ford Ranger Tradie is available in Arctic White, True Red, or prestige paints Meteor Grey, Aluminium Silver, Blue Lightning or Shadow Black.

In addition to a five-year, unlimited kilometre warranty, there are 15,000km/12-month service intervals, and A and B log-book services for the first four years/60,000km are set at a maximum of $299 per service.

Ford Service Benefits also bring owners a Service Loan Car, Auto Club Membership including Roadside Assistance.

The Ranger XL Tradie special edition is available for a limited time at $47,990 driveaway while stocks last.
