Late last year I attended the launch of the double cab next-generation Ford Ranger. I drove the mid-range XLT Bi-turbo variants and the top-of-the-range Wildtrak 3.0 V6 models and was impressed by the good-looking, well-kitted products filled with all the latest tech and features Ford has to offer. The Ford Ranger has always enjoyed a considerable market share in the double cab segment, especially at the higher end of the spectrum, but the brand seemed to struggle to find a footing in the super and single cab segments. So, the question is: can Ford give us a proper workhorse?
Getting the job done
Many people might see single and super cabs as mere commercial tools and for the most part,within the overlanding community. So, it was fitting that I had my first drive in these models while exploring the rural Wild Coast and surrounding areas.
