Ford Ranger Sport 4WD Dual Cab Ute 2025 review

admin — Sun, 08 Jun 2025 20:00:44 +0000

Ranger Sport – Ford Ranger has been popular since the all-new model came out a little while ago. This week I drove the Ranger Sport. This sits somewhere in the middle of the range.

The Sport comes with the 2.0L Bi turbo 4 Cylinder engine diesel engine. This is matched to a 10 speed AT with part time 4WD. There is an optional 3.0L V6 Turbo diesel engine with full time 4WD. This is the model I drove.

The V6 comes with 184kW of power and a very handy 600Nm of torque. As you might expect this allows for plenty of performance and lots of low-down torque makes towing a breeze.

The Ranger Sport adds a rotary select for up to six drive modes and has a locking rear diff.

Off road the Ranger Sport excels. It remains quite composed over dirt and corrugated roads. Sand driving is almost too easy and difficult terrain is managed with ease.

On road its relatively smooth, quiet, and responsive.

Up front there are LED Headlights, DRLs and fog lights. This is in addition to two front recovery points and a frontal skid plate.

Inside there is dark leather trim, 8 ways electrically adjustments for the driver’s seat, an off-road screen and wireless smart phone charging.

Pricing for the 3.0L V6 Ranger Sport is from $71,340 plus the usual costs.
