Leading the impressive sales performance was the next-gen Ford Ranger. The Blue Oval company managed to sell 5,436 units so far this year, which was a 25 percent year-on-year sales improvement.
The Ford Ranger is the brand’s entry into the midsize pickup truck market. Available in a wide range of variants to meet various demands, the top-of-the-line Ranger Wildtrak 4x4 brings out the best in the truck. It comes with matrix LED headlights with an adaptive front lighting system, a suite of advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) functions, and an electronic locking rear differential.

Further bolstering the truck’s presence is the addition of the Ford Ranger Raptor, a more performance-oriented version of the Ranger that debuted in the country last May 2023. Ford Philippines reported the Ranger Raptor has sold nearly 600 units.
Both the Ranger and Ranger Raptor are available with a 2.0-liter bi-turbo diesel engine capable of generating 207 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque. A 2.0-liter single-turbo diesel engine is also offered for lower-end variants. The transmission options include a six-speed manual, six-speed automatic, and 10-speed automatic.
