Diesel V6 Built for the Long Haul
Under the bonnet of the Ranger Platinum sits the 3.0L V6 turbo-diesel rated at 184 kW and 600 Nm, paired with the 10-speed automatic and a full-time 4WD system. You get 2H, 4A, 4H and 4L on a rotary dial, a rear diff lock for the tricky stuff, and terrain modes for Slippery, Mud-Ruts, Sand, Rock and Tow-Haul – Ranger Platinum has the perfect driveline for every job.
The V6 also makes towing simple. The Ranger Platinum is rated to 3,500 kg braked and 750 kg unbraked, and the factory electric trailer brake controller lives in the dash, so a braked trailer plugs straight in. Tow-Haul mode holds gears longer on descents and the integrated trailer sway control works in the background to keep things settled.
Tradie Tub, Tourer Roof
The fit-out on this Ranger Platinum is the bit that makes it a genuine dual-purpose hire. The lockable electric roller shutter covers the whole tub and operates from inside the cab. Tools, eskies or luggage in the tub stay dry, dust-free, plus locked out of sight at the servo or worksite. Above the cab and tub, the flexible rack system delivers a versatile load carrying platform for both work and recreational use.
The Ranger Platinum is also set up to tow a braked camper trailer, plant trailer or boat up to 3,500 kg the same day you pick it up. The electric trailer brake controller is fitted from the factory and lives in the dash, so there is no aftermarket Tekonsha box wired under the dash and no extra controller to learn. Plug in the trailer and go.
Calm Cabin After a Long Day
Inside, the Platinum is the most comfortable Ranger Ford builds. You get quilted leather accented seats with heating and ventilation up front, a heated steering wheel, a 12 inch portrait touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 10 speaker B&O sound system. The 360 degree camera plus front and rear parking sensors take the stress out of hitching trailers and reversing into tight worksite gates. Driver aids are the full Ranger suite: AEB, adaptive cruise, lane-keep assist plus blind spot monitoring with trailer coverage.
If the job needs a truck that pulls a 3.5 tonne trailer Monday to Friday and a rooftop tent down a forestry track on Saturday, the Ranger Platinum is the one to book.
