Power Ranger: Next-Generation Ford Ranger Owners Share What Makes the Pick-up Truck a Reliable Daily Driver 

The next-generation Ford Ranger officially arrived inthe Philippines in July last year, and since then, it has become a staple sight on local roads and is enjoyed by a growing number of owners because of its many exciting features and upgrades. 

These owners include Pampanga-based website developer and part-time photographer PhilipVino and Cebu-based associate manager Earl Cuevas. Both attest to the enhanced driving experience that the next-gen Ford pick-up truck offers–from functionality, style, comfort, tosafety and in-car technology that mesh well with their daily lifestyles – may it be for work, play and family.

Uncompromised Style and Comfort

The upgraded look and improved handling of the next-gen Ranger proved to be a match to Philip’s lifestyle. “A pick-up truck is really ideal for my needs. As a young driver, I prefer a pick-up truck that looks good and matches my personality. I’m always in remote locations due to the nature of my job, so I need a vehicle that can keep up with my busy schedule, and I found it in the next-gen Ranger,” says Philip. 

For Earl, there was something fresh about the next-gen Ranger’s exterior and overall look. “The headlamps are too handsome. Inside, the ride comfort is outstanding. It doesn’t feel like a pick-up truck as the ride feels really premium,” he shares. 

Reliable Power and Efficiency

The next-gen Ford Ranger gives Philip and Earl a more than capable driving package with a reliable powertrain that balances power and efficiency.

“Driving to neighboring towns and provinces like Subic, Bataan, Zambales, or all the way toMetro Manila and Tagaytay is so easy and convenient with the next-gen Ranger,” Philip shares. He also raves about its fuel efficiency. “A single full tank was almost enough for our 14-day stay in Baguio,” he adds. 

Earl, who frequently drives around Cebu because of the nature of his job, applauded the vehicle’s driving capabilities across different terrains. “I have clients who live far from the city and up in the mountains as well, so it’s great to have a truck that is so capable to take me wherever I need to go,” he says.

Improved Technology

Earl and Philip both love the technology that is equipped in the next-gen Ranger. For Philip, the Apple Carplay and 360-degree camera are some of the most useful driver-assist technologies that make driving both a safe and interactive experience. 

With the introduction of FordPass last year, both owners are enjoying remote access to their next-gen Ranger trucks with a simple tap on their mobile devices. “We are all aware of how hot it can get in our country. With FordPass, I can remotely start my truck and turn on the air conditioner. My passengers are definitely happy and excited to ride the truck,” says Philip.

A Thrilling Driving Experience

Both Philip and Earl are happy with choosing the next-gen Ford Ranger as their daily driver. “It’s a highly recommended truck if you’re looking for a vehicle that can drive you to your workplaceand take you to new places and destinations on weekends. You get the best of both worlds,” Philip shares. 

For Earl, “There are plenty of choices in the market right now. It will depend on the buyer’s preference, but for me, the next-gen Ranger is one of the best in terms of interior, ride comfort, and exterior design.”

The next-gen Ranger comes with a 5-year warranty to enhance the ownership experience. The longer warranty offering will cover the next-gen Ranger for up to 5 years or total mileage of up to 150,000 kilometers, whichever comes first.
