Ford Ranger FX4 4WD Ute 2021 Review

Ford has reintroduced the Ranger FX4 that sits between the 4×4 XLT and FX4 Max models and adds a level of style enhancements externally and some extra features inside and is available only as a dual cab 4WD.

Externally there is a black front grill, Bi-LED headlights, 18 inch alloys with excellent BF Goodrich AT tyres, black highlights and striking decals everywhere. The tub has a protective liner and a black sports bar. Visually it screams look at me.

Inside there are leather sided front sports seats with FX4 embossed backs and manual adjustment, leather rear seats, soft touch instrument panel top and contrast stitching.

FX4 comes with a choice of two engine and transmissions, the original 3.2L five cylinder with a 6 spd transmission and the newer 2.0L Bi turbo with a 10 speed transmission. It will tow 3500kg and comes with just short of a tonne payload and a five star ANCAP safety rating from 2015.
