Keep Moving Forward with the 2020 Ford Ranger

Other than Alabama and Alberta, the UAE is one place where your love for pickup trucks will get noticed and appreciated. Whether you prefer driving a flatbed, monster, or any other pickup truck, there is enough space both on and off-road in the Middle East to drive these vehicles. Also, this type of vehicle suits comparatively larger families and outdoor living. Now of course, in the genre, the F-150 can be considered the best choice of them all. However, its younger and smaller sibling, the 2020 Ford Ranger has certainly stirred the market with its presence and it’s about time to find out whether the car is a good match or not.

What Does It Offer?

The 2020 Ford Ranger comes with a clam shell hood coupled with two turbo-diesel engines for ultimate delivery of power and torque. Simultaneously, it uses less fuel than before. Now there is no reason to roll the eyes by hearing the word “diesel”. The technology has gone far beyond the Renault 19 that was an all-time favorite of the ’90s. The best part, that has been witnessed about the Ford diesel engine, is that it creates more power and more torque than its competitors. The 2.2-liter Duratorq turbo-diesel engine of the 2020 Ford Ranger creates around 380Nm of torque and between 150 and 160hp. The 3.2L Duratorq turbo-diesel engine, on the other hand, is available in the XLT and Wildtrak and creates 200hp and 470Nm torque, which is a class apart. Both these numbers result in excellent towing of up to 3.5 tonnes.

The Fun Part

Now that the performance has been covered, let’s take a look at the fun parts. This car has been manufactured, designed, and tested in Australia. What does that mean for you? Simple, you can count on the fact that it is a well-built vehicle that can sustain the dunes and looks the part too. Combine the high beltline, a raked grille, and slanted windshield with its cabin that gives a cowboy vibe, and you get a car that offers higher aesthetics than its other contemporaries. 

The Drive

When driving off-road, the Ranger, with its short front and rear overhangs, lets you drive with a better departure angle so you can handle the steep terrains better. Its 23cm ground clearance is nothing less than impressive. Other than that, various other features, such as Hill Descent Control make precise driving more comfortable. It's what you need that to tackle the technical challenges of the region’s difficult mountain roads. Also, Ford’s 4x4 Shift-On-The-Fly lets you conveniently switch between two and four-wheel drives on the go. This helps the off-roaders with better peace of mind. And if load-bearing is on your mind, then this vehicle has even got that covered. With a capacity to be loaded with up to 1425kg of gear, there is no need to pack light when moving around with this car.

And when you’re on road, the engine runs quietly, and you can very well pass it as a daily commuter. This vehicle offers plenty of space for everyone, and you can travel in comfort. Besides, it comes with easy-to-use techs and offers an overall good show.
