Ford Ranger 4x4 XLS Special Edition

Ford is investing in Australia like no other automaker with $2 billion in R&D over the past six years and even more to launch and upgrade a record number of products, including the Ranger 4x4 XLS Special Edition, on sale in September.

The Ranger 4x4 XLS Special Edition to arrive shortly as Ford closes the gap to Toyota with the Ranger 4x4 topping July 4x4 pick-up sales charts with a 21.2 per cent share of the segment Ranger 4x4 now only 172 units behind the Hilux 4x4 year-to-date, representing an increase in sales of 37.5 per cent to July.

The Ranger 4x4 XLS Special Edition will bring even more visual attitude with the addition of a sports bar, tow bar, side steps, bed and tailgate liner and adds an additional $4,900^ worth of Ford Genuine Factory-Fitted Accessories for an exceptional recommended drive away price.
