The 2022 Ford Ranger XLT is the ute for people who like their weekends muddy and their weekdays Bluetooth. The standard 2.0‑litre bi‑turbo diesel and 10‑speed auto serve up strong mid‑range shove and relaxed cruising, and towing up to 3.5 tonnes isn’t just brochure brag. Ride and refinement are a big step up, with a smart cabin, a portrait touchscreen running SYNC 4A, and enough storage cubbies to lose your sunnies twice. Off‑road, the 4x4 XLT’s traction smarts and low‑range make light work of ruts, while highway tyres and clearance keep the heroics honest.
Annoyances? The steering’s a touch light, the bi‑turbo can sound workmanlike, and real‑world economy sits around the high‑7s to 9s L/100 km depending on load. Safety kit is generous (AEB, lane‑keep, and available adaptive cruise), and the tray and tow tech are genuinely useful rather than showroom glitter. In short: a well‑sorted all‑rounder that does the weekday grind and the weekend bush bash without breaking a sweat.
