�We�re leveraging this year�s Bangkok Motor Show as an international stage for the ASEAN reveal of the all-new Ford Ranger global pickup, which will be built right here in Thailand,� said Peter Fleet, president, Ford ASEAN. �We�ve taken the opportunity to create a world-class display on the Ford stand so that Show attendees can experience and truly understand our commitment to Thailand and the ASEAN region,� added Fleet.
In addition to Thailand, the all-new global Ranger will be manufactured in South Africa and Argentina for more than 180 markets worldwide. It is the first truck to be built under the One Ford strategy, which brings together the company�s global engineering expertise.
The all-new Ranger was unveiled to the world in Sydney last October, and the Bangkok appearance marks the first time it will be seen in Asia, giving the expected 1.5 million Show visitors a unique and special sight.

Also known as Open Cab or RAP (Rear Access Panels) Cab in some markets, the Super Cab is an innovation introduced by Ford on the Ranger in 2002. It has a unique four-door system that provides unobstructed access to the cabin via two forward-hinged doors and two rear-hinged access panels. An uncompromised side-impact safety structure replaces the centre pillar of a traditional Double Cab.
Ranger also comes in 4�2 and 4�4 drivetrains and two ride heights with the 4�2 Hi-Rider sharing the same frame as the 4�4 model. The Ford Ranger is among the new vehicles that follow the One Ford platform, the same design/models will be released in all markets.
There will be 3 variants:-
- A new 2.2-litre Ford Duratorq TDCi four-cylinder diesel engine with peak torque output of 375 Nm and power output of 110 kW (150 PS)
- A highly responsive and efficient new 3.2-litre Ford Duratorq TDCi five-cylinder diesel engine with a substantial 470 Nm of torque and power rated at 147 kW (200 PS)
- A 2.5-litre Ford Duratec four-cylinder petrol engine with 226 Nm of torque and outstanding power at 122 kW (166 PS). It can be aftermarket upfitted to run on LPG
