Evolution rather than revolution was the underlying theme when Ford unveiled its upgraded Ranger ute at the Bangkok International Motor Show on March 23.
Set to arrive here in the third quarter of the year the new-look Ranger is outwardly distinguished by a new front end and features a raft of improvements inside and underneath.

• The use of a new electric rather than hydraulic power steering system
• New, more car-like upholstery and trim
• The introduction of Ford’s SYNC 2 in-car connectivity system which features voice-operated command capability
