Car buyer 3.9/5.0
The Ford Ranger is now in its third generation and this latest model is designed to offer the most car-like driving experience yet, without compromising the Ranger's load-carrying or off-road abilities. There are plenty of body style choices, a good choice of engines and the Ranger even looks pretty good too.

Auto Express 4.0/5.0
By making it refined, comfortable and stylish it has succeeded without compromising the innate ruggedness, off-road ability and practicality of a pick-up.

Parker's 4.5/5.0
Overall the Ranger is comfortable, even at motorway speeds or across country, and there's plenty of space.
