Ford Ranger Financing: How much do you need to buy one?

The Ford Ranger midsize pickup may only be on its fourth generation, but a decade has already passed since the current T6 platform was introduced. Ten years is the standard for a given product cycle, and despite several refreshes, no one can deny that the present Ranger is getting long in the tooth.

Ten years of the Ranger's T6 platform, and it's still a formidable contender in the midsize pickup category

However, that’s not to say that the truck’s best days are behind it. There are still plenty of reasons to own a Ranger, if you’re on the prowl for a suitable rig that’s versatile enough for both business and leisure. There’s the 800mm water-wading capability for one, coupled with an ample 232mm of ground clearance.

Spread across five trim levels, most of them available in both two-wheel and four-wheel drivetrains, the Ranger also carries a selection of three capable diesel engines, delivering up to 3,500-kg towing capacity on the range-topping Wildtrak, apart from a maximum load limit of 1,120 kg.

If you’ve set your sights on having a Ranger in your garage, how much would it cost you on a monthly basis?
