Aussies Have A New Ford Ranger 4x4 XLT Double Cab On Offer
The Ford Ranger 4x4 XLT Double Cab starts at just over AU$56,000
Ford Australia has introduced a new variant of the popular Ranger known as the 4x4 XLT Double Cab Chassis.
Set to hit the market from December, Ford describes the 4x4 XLT Double Cab Chassis as "the most content-rich, feature packed Ranger Cab Chassis offered in Australia to date." With that in mind, the vehicle brings with it lots of safety features and is well-equipped for towing.
As the name implies, all Ranger 4x4 XLT Double Cab Chassis models feature a switchable on-the-fly four-wheel drive system and also lands standard with 17-inch alloy wheels. The pickup also includes a standard tow-bar assembly and wiring.
Two engines are available. The first is a 2.0-liter twin-turbocharged four-cylinder that was first introduced with the Ranger Raptor. In the 4x4 XLT, this engine is rated at 210 hp and 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque and is sold exclusively with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Also on offer is a 3.2-liter turbodiesel five-cylinder diesel engine offered with a six-speed manual and a six-speed automatic.

The Ranger also comes with an 8.0-inch touchscreen that includes DAB+ audio as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. The built-in satellite navigation also increases Ford's breadcrumbs feature.
"Customers looking for Ranger's high safety and equipment levels who want to add their own customised canopies or personalisation tray set-up can now do so with far more ease," Ford Australia and New Zealand president and chief executive Andrew Birkic said in a statement. "Owners have told us that they want to save time and money with a ready-to-go, high-spec Ranger Cab Chassis that they can purchase straight off the showroom floor, and the 4x4 XLT Double Cab Chassis is here for these customers, be they tradespeople, adventurers or explorers."
Local pricing kicks off at AU$56,240 (US$40,880) and tops out at AU$59,940 (US$43,570).
