The Ranger is one versatile truck.

Finding a road partner that will complement your lifestyle is important. For Pampanga-based website developer and part-time photographer Philip Vino and Cebu-based associate manager Earl Cuevas, the two shared their satisfaction with owning the next-generation Ford Ranger.

Right off the bat, the next-gen pickup truck features a more rugged styling that both Philip and Earl fancied. It now has a boxier body, with the new LED headlamps and C-shaped daytime running lights (DRLs) stealing the show.

“A pickup truck is really ideal for my needs. As a young driver, I prefer a pickup truck that looks good and matches my personality. I’m always in remote locations due to the nature of my job, so I need a vehicle that can keep up with my busy schedule, and I found it in the next-gen Ranger,” said Philip.

Apart from the good looks, the Ford Ranger can also deliver as a workhorse vehicle. Philip applauded the truck’s fuel efficiency, taking him to different towns and provinces without breaking the bank. Earl moves around a lot because of the nature of his job. Regardless, he said that the vehicle conquers different terrains with ease thanks to its driving capabilities.

The next-gen model is said to be the smartest iteration ever, and both Ranger owners benefit from it. Philip finds the Apple CarPlay and 360-degree camera as some of the most useful technologies in his truck. Moreover, the new FordPass feature made the lives of the two more convenient.

“There are plenty of choices in the market right now. It will depend on the buyer’s preference, but for me, the next-gen Ranger is one of the best in terms of interior, ride comfort, and exterior design,” said Earl.

If you are enticed by the American truck like Philip and Earl have been, Ford Philippines is offering the Ranger with a price that ranges from Php 1,198,000 to Php 1,855,000. It also comes with a 5-year or 150,000 km warranty (whichever comes first).
