A host of new features are said to be integrated into the all-new truck to boost productivity, capability, and versatility. Led by Ford Ranger Chief Designer Max Tran, the next-gen model will come with improvements so it can become an excellent work and play truck, offer more comfort than ever before, and look tough on the go.
“Interestingly, we found that no matter what market, our customers are doers. They like solving their own problems, and they like to feel confident in their truck... not just the way the vehicle functions but the way they feel when they’re driving it,” said Ford Ranger Chief Designer Max Tran.
