CarExpert's Take
Jack Quick
Contributor
Jack Quick drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Bigger, gruntier diesel
- Finally has 3.5-tonne braked towing
- Compliant and resolved unladen ride
Misses
- Low-speed manoeuvring can be jerky
- Lane-keep assist still overbearing and intrusive
- Top-spec XSR missing safety equipment
Max Davies
Marketplace Journalist
Max Davies drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Buttery V6 diesel
- Robust tech inside and out
- Still indisputably the non-PHEV ute benchmark
Misses
- There are more logical Rangers at better prices
- Generally expensive compared to rivals
- No tonneau cover as standard
Colours Available
Ford is giving its gen-two Ranger and Ranger Raptor a handful of colours including some brilliant bright colours for the alter, including one exclusive to the flagship ute.
However, if you like 50 shades of grey – or, in this case, three – you’ll still have some options that’ll suit.
The colour palette comprises the following:
- Absolute Black
- Aluminium
- Arctic White
- Blue Lightning
- Meteor Grey
- Sedona Orange
- Luxe Yellow (Wildtrak only)
- Code Orange (Raptor only)
- Conquer Grey (Raptor only)

2025 GWM Cannon review
As far as mid-life updates go, this one has to be one of the most significant we've experienced. Should the Triton and Navara be scared?

2025 Ford Ranger Sport V6 review
Ford's best-seller still justifies its position as an Aussie favourite, especially in Sport V6 form, but more rivals are signing up every day.
