Essential Ford Ranger Maintenance Cost Guide - Apex Engine

The Ford Ranger is the workhorse sibling of the Everest — same T6 platform, same 2.0L EcoBlue diesel family, but built as a pickup that ranges from a bare-bones single-turbo XL to the 397-horsepower Raptor. It also carries the same “mahal daw magpa-maintain” reputation as its SUV twin, and the same open questions about long-term reliability of its wet-belt engine. This guide covers two things: what’s actually verified for the current Ranger — trim-by-trim engine and price breakdown, official PMS interval, recall history — and, because the Ranger has been sold here since well before the T6 era, a full generation-by-generation history of every major engine, transmission, and PMS-policy change since the pre-T6 truck, for anyone cross-shopping the used market. We flag what’s still unconfirmed rather than guessing. This is the Ranger companion to our general PMS cost guide and the Ford Everest guide for the SUV version of this same platform.

Key Takeaways

• Current PH Ranger is the 3rd-generation “Next-Gen” model (T6/P703 platform), launched July 28, 2022 — the same day as the Everest — with no structural facelift since, only running updates (bigger touchscreen on XLS/XLT, a new XL Plus variant).
• The lineup spans from a manual-only XL 4x4 (2.0L Single-Turbo, 6-speed MT) up to the Raptor (3.0L V6 twin-turbo petrol, 397 PS/583 Nm, 10-speed AT) — PH does not get the global diesel V6, only the petrol one on the Raptor.
• Single-Turbo trims run a 6-speed transmission (MT or AT); Bi-Turbo and Raptor trims are 10-speed automatic only — a genuine spec difference to check before you buy, not just a trim-name label.
• Like the Everest, both diesel engines use a “wet” timing belt (belt-in-oil), not a chain — the same long-term reliability question carries over.
• Ford PH’s current PMS policy is once a year: 12 months or 10,000 km, whichever comes first — and contrary to how this often gets described, that policy did not start with the Next-Gen truck: it actually began in 2019, tied to the 2.0L Turbo/Bi-Turbo engine family introduced the year before.
• The Ranger has been in PH since well before the “T6” name — this guide covers four distinct eras: the pre-T6 2.5L truck (through 2011), the first-gen T6 with 2.2L/3.2L engines (2012–2018), the 2.0L Turbo/Bi-Turbo update that introduced the Raptor (2018–2022), and today’s Next-Gen (2022–present).
• One confirmed current-generation PH recall applies to the Ranger (the Takata airbag campaign) — the 2023 E-Shifter recall that hit some Everest units does not cover the PH Ranger, per Ford PH’s own clarification. Earlier-generation Rangers carry their own separate recall history — see the generation breakdown below.

Which Model Year Does This Guide Cover? (2006–2026 — Every Generation)

This guide covers the current, 3rd-generation “Next-Gen” Ranger (2022–present) in full PMS-and-maintenance detail — whether you’re looking at a 2022, 2024, or 2026 unit, it’s the same T6/P703 platform, and Ford PH hasn’t issued a structural facelift since launch. What has changed on the current truck is trim detail: an 8-inch touchscreen was added to the XLS and XLT trims partway through the run, and an XL Plus variant joined the lineup as a step-up from the base XL. A diesel-V6 “Wildtrak-X” variant has been rumored as possibly PH-bound as of mid-2026 reporting, but it isn’t part of the current lineup — don’t shop for it yet.

If you’re shopping used, though, the Ranger’s PH history goes back much further than 2022 — through a first-generation T6 (2012–2018) and a heavily updated 2.0L Turbo/Bi-Turbo version of that same T6 (2018–2022), plus a pre-T6 truck sold through 2011. Each of those is a genuinely different vehicle with its own engines, transmissions, and maintenance profile. The full breakdown, era by era, is below.

The Complete Ford Ranger Generation Guide: What Changed Since 2010

Here’s the full picture, era by era, sourced from PH auto-media coverage (AutoIndustriya, CarGuide.PH, Top Gear PH, AutoDeal, Zigwheels, Philkotse, Carmudi) since Ford’s own PH site couldn’t be independently fetched for historical pricing. Treat pre-2018 figures as directional, not exact — some sources disagree by small margins, and we’ve flagged those spots.

Era	PH Years	Engine(s)	Transmission	PMS Interval	Defining Change
Pre-T6	through ~2011	2.5L TDCi VGT, 143 PS/330 Nm	5-speed MT/AT	~5,000 km/quarterly (typical of the era)	Wildtrak debuts as a styling special edition (2009)
T6 Gen 1	2012–2018	2.2L Duratorq (150–160 PS/375–385 Nm); 3.2L 5-cyl added 2013 (200 PS/470 Nm, Wildtrak-only)	6-speed MT/AT (5-speed MT on fleet variants)	~5,000 km/quarterly, extended to 10,000 km/6 mo in April 2018	All-new global “T6” platform; 2015 facelift adds SYNC 2, EPAS steering
2.0L Turbo/Bi-Turbo Update	2018–2022	2.0L Single-Turbo (178–180 PS/420 Nm); 2.0L Bi-Turbo (210–213 PS/500 Nm) — 3.2L discontinued	6-speed (2.2L trims); 10-speed AT (Bi-Turbo only)	Moved to once-a-year (10,000 km/12 mo) in 2019 — for the new engine family	Ranger Raptor’s first-ever PH launch (Sept 2018); FX4 and FX4 Max sub-brands added 2020–2021
Next-Gen T6/P703	2022–present	2.0L Single-Turbo (~170 hp/405 Nm); 2.0L Bi-Turbo (~207 hp/500 Nm); Raptor gets 3.0L V6 twin-turbo petrol	6-speed (Single-Turbo); 10-speed AT (Bi-Turbo, Raptor)	12 months/10,000 km, unchanged from 2019 policy	Same platform/launch date as the Everest; wet timing belt carries over

Pre-T6 (Through 2011): The Ranger Before It Was a “T6”

Before the globally-developed T6 platform arrived, PH sold an earlier Ranger generation (Ford’s internal PJ/PK codes) dating back to the mid-2000s. By its final 2009 update, it ran a 2.5L DuraTorq TDCi with a variable-geometry turbo, making 143 PS at 3,500 rpm and 330 Nm at 1,800 rpm, paired with a 5-speed manual or automatic. Perhaps surprisingly, the Wildtrak name already existed on this truck — introduced in 2009 as a styling-and-equipment special edition (16-inch alloys, step boards, body cladding, roof rails, sport bar) rather than a mechanically distinct model, well before it became the flagship trim it is today. If you’re looking at a Ranger this old, note that PH’s Takata airbag recall coverage for the Ranger nameplate traces mainly to this pre-T6 era in most PH recall reporting (commonly cited as 2004–2011-built units, though some broader summaries extend the shared Everest/Ranger/Mustang campaign to 2006–2014) — if you’re buying one this old, a VIN check with Ford PH is essential, not optional.

T6 Generation 1 (2012–2018): The Global Ranger Arrives

Ford’s all-new, Australian-developed, Thailand-built “T6” Ranger reached PH in early 2012, initially with just a 2.2L Duratorq TDCi (150 PS/375 Nm) across XL, XLS, and XLT trims. The range expanded significantly on April 5, 2013, at the Manila International Auto Show, when Ford PH added the Wildtrak trim and, alongside it, a 3.2L Duratorq TDCi five-cylinder engine (200 PS/470 Nm) — the 3.2L was Wildtrak-exclusive for the rest of this generation’s life, never offered on XL/XLS/XLT. Transmissions were a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic (with a 5-speed manual persisting on fleet-oriented Chassis Cab/Single Cab variants).

This generation got a mid-cycle facelift in August 2015 (globally known as “PX MkII”): a new front fascia with a hexagonal grille, SYNC 2 infotainment, a switch from hydraulic to Electric Power Assist Steering, and — on the top-spec 3.2L Wildtrak only — a genuinely modern safety suite for the time: adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping alert/assist, forward alert, and load-adaptive suspension control. Pricing at facelift launch spanned roughly ₱1,039,000 (XLS MT) to ₱1,679,000 (Wildtrak 3.2 4x4 AT).

The other defining moment of this era was April 2018, when Ford PH cut PMS pricing across the Ranger and Everest lineups by roughly 15–18% amid public criticism of high maintenance costs — switching to fully-synthetic oil and stretching the interval from a short, roughly-quarterly 5,000 km cadence to 10,000 km every 6 months, halving the number of yearly dealer visits. Reported 5-year/100,000 km totals after the cut landed around ₱132,000 for the 2.2L and ₱136,000 for the 3.2L (figures vary slightly by source; treat as an approximate range, not an exact number).

Known issues/recalls specific to this era: No PH-specific recall campaign distinct from the pre-T6 Takata recall was found for 2012–2015-built units, though a door-latch pawl-spring recall (which could let a door unlatch while driving) was notified by Ford PH in November 2018, covering units built May 23, 2011 to May 20, 2015 — worth checking if you’re eyeing an early T6 truck. Beyond that, the 3.2L five-cylinder and 6-speed automatic carry a reputation (mostly from Australian and UK owner/technician forums, not confirmed PH recalls) for oil pump wear, EGR cooler failures, and automatic-transmission valve-body shift-quality complaints — real enough to ask about on a used unit, but not the subject of any documented PH recall.

The 2.0L Turbo/Bi-Turbo Update & Raptor’s PH Debut (2018–2022)

Ford PH refreshed the Ranger again on September 21, 2018 (sold as the “2019 Ranger”), and this was a much bigger change than a styling update: the 3.2L five-cylinder was discontinued outright, replaced by a smaller-displacement but more efficient 2.0L EcoBlue family — a Single-Turbo (178–180 PS/420 Nm) on mainstream Wildtrak/XLT-adjacent trims and a Bi-Turbo (210–213 PS/500 Nm) on the range-topper, the latter paired with an all-new 10-speed automatic (the 2.2L Duratorq carried on unchanged on XLS/XLT/FX4 trims alongside the new engines, rather than being replaced outright). The same event also brought SYNC 3 with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and a genuinely modern ADAS suite (autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise, lane-departure warning, active park assist) on 4x4 Wildtrak — though notably not on the Raptor.

This is also when the first-ever Ford Ranger Raptor launched in PH (same day, September 21, 2018): a 2.0L Bi-Turbo diesel (213 PS/500 Nm), 10-speed automatic, priced at ₱1,898,000 (raised to ₱1,998,000 in 2019). Unlike a Wildtrak of the same era, the Raptor swapped the leaf-sprung rear end for coil springs with Fox Racing Shox, a wider track, longer wheelbase, and 283mm of ground clearance — genuine off-road hardware, not just a styling package, even though it shared its engine and transmission with the top Wildtrak. Two more special editions followed: the XLT-based FX4 (2.2L, launched January 2020 for 4x2 and September 2020 for 4x4) and the 2.0L Bi-Turbo FX4 Max (March 2021, ₱1,698,000) — both off-road-styled, though FX4 Max notably shipped without the Wildtrak’s full ADAS suite.

The real origin of the once-a-year PMS policy is here, not the Next-Gen truck. Ford PH’s move to a 12-month/10,000 km interval (down from the 6-month cadence set in 2018) is documented in PH auto-media from August 2019, explicitly tied to the new 2.0L Turbo/Bi-Turbo engine family this update introduced — meaning it had already been in place for three years by the time the Next-Gen Ranger launched in 2022. It’s unclear from available sources whether the carryover 2.2L Duratorq trims (XLS/XLT/FX4) got the same annual interval or stayed on the 2018-era 6-month cycle through the end of this generation — worth confirming directly if you’re buying a 2.2L unit from this window.

Known issues/recalls specific to this era: A 2020 recall covered a fluid pump gear defect in the new 10-speed automatic, affecting Thailand-built Ranger Wildtrak Bi-Turbo and Ranger Raptor units (alongside Everest Titanium 2.0L) — the defect could cause a loss of hydraulic pressure and, in turn, a loss of drive; Ford PH’s fix was a free TCM/PCM software update, not a parts replacement. Separately, Filipino owners raised real (PH-sourced, via Philkotse) complaints about the 10-speed automatic stalling, serious enough that discussion of a possible class-action complaint against Ford PH surfaced in that reporting — though no confirmed PH lawsuit was found, and this concern isn’t tied to a specific recall number. A Ranger Raptor also lost a rear axle in a widely shared November 2021 incident on the Muntinlupa–Cavite Expressway; Ford PH’s official response called it not a vehicle-quality issue, and no broader recall followed — treat it as a notable one-off, not a documented systemic defect.

By the end of this generation’s run (2021–2022), the lineup had settled into a two-tier engine strategy that persisted right up to the Next-Gen changeover: 2.2L Duratorq on XLS/XLT/FX4, and 2.0L Single-/Bi-Turbo on Wildtrak/FX4 Max/Raptor — Ford PH never fully retired the older 2.2L engine before switching platforms entirely in July 2022.

Next-Gen T6/P703 (2022–Present)

This is the generation covered in full detail in the rest of this guide — see the Quick Specs table, engine/transmission breakdown, and current PMS interval and cost sections below.

Buying Used: A Quick Take by Era

• Pre-T6 (through 2011): Simple, low-tech, and the oldest units are old enough that a Takata airbag VIN check is essential before buying.
• T6 Gen 1, pre-facelift (2012–2015): The 3.2L Wildtrak (from April 2013 on) is the more powerful, more sought-after variant, but budget for more frequent oil changes than later trucks — this generation predates the 2018 interval extension entirely.
• T6 Gen 1, facelifted (2015–2018): Meaningfully more modern (SYNC 2, EPAS steering, and — on 3.2L Wildtrak — real driver-assist tech); still on the shorter pre-2018 PMS cadence until the April 2018 cut applied retroactively to owners of these trucks too.
• 2.0L Turbo/Bi-Turbo Update (2018–2022): The most complex used-buying decision — same generation, but a 2.2L Duratorq truck and a 2.0L Bi-Turbo truck are very different ownership propositions (older, simpler engine vs. newer, more powerful, 10-speed-equipped). Ask specifically which engine and PMS interval applies to the unit you’re viewing, and check the 2020 transmission recall status if it’s a Bi-Turbo or Raptor.
• Next-Gen (2022–present): Covered in full below — the once-a-year PMS interval, wet timing belt question, and current recall scope all apply here.

Engine & Transmission: Not Just a Trim-Name Difference

The Ranger’s engine and transmission follow a clear split, and it’s worth understanding before you shop by trim name alone. Single-Turbo diesel trims (XL through Wildtrak 4x2) get a 6-speed transmission, available as either manual or automatic depending on variant — the XL 4x4 MT is the only manual-transmission Ranger in the current lineup, a genuine option for buyers who want a simpler, cheaper-to-maintain drivetrain. Bi-Turbo diesel trims (Wildtrak SE and 4x4 Wildtrak variants) step up to a more powerful ~207 hp/500 Nm tune paired exclusively with a 10-speed automatic — no manual option once you’re in Bi-Turbo territory. The Raptor sits apart entirely: it’s the only Ranger sold in PH with the 3.0L V6 twin-turbo petrol EcoBoost engine (the same unit used in some Mustang and F-150 variants globally), not a diesel, also paired with the 10-speed automatic. PH does not get the global 3.0L V6 turbo-diesel option offered in some other markets.

PMS Interval: Once a Year — a Policy That’s Older Than the Next-Gen Truck

Ford PH’s aftersales program treats the Ranger identically to the Everest and Territory on the same platform: the first PMS is due at 12 months or 10,000 km, whichever comes first; the second at 24 months or 20,000 km. This applies across both the Single-Turbo and Bi-Turbo engines, and to manual and automatic transmissions alike. That’s a genuine advantage over the twice-a-year (6-month) cadence most Japanese-brand rivals still run — fewer casa visits per year even at similar annual mileage. Worth knowing if you’re cross-shopping used: this once-a-year policy isn’t new to the Next-Gen truck — as the generation breakdown above covers, Ford PH actually introduced it back in 2019, alongside the previous generation’s 2.0L Turbo/Bi-Turbo engine update, and it simply carried forward unchanged. Ford PH has also run a free-labor PMS promo covering the first two services (12 mo/10,000 km and 24 mo/20,000 km) for units purchased from January 1, 2024 onward — worth confirming with your dealer whether your unit still qualifies.

PMS Cost: What’s Verified, What Isn’t

As with the Everest, Ford PH does not appear to publish a current, fixed PMS price list for the Next-Gen Ranger — the brand uses an online Service Price Calculator instead of a static sheet, and its output couldn’t be independently verified for this guide.

What we can confirm is historical context, and it’s worth noting the Ranger had its own distinct figures separate from the Everest’s. In the same April 2018 pricing controversy that hit the Everest, Ford PH cut Ranger maintenance costs too — reporting put the Ranger’s 5-year/100,000 km cost of ownership dropping from roughly ₱140,000 to about ₱120,000, a 15% decrease (slightly less than the Everest’s reported 18% cut, on the older 2.2L/3.2L engines of that era). A separate 2019 calculation for the then-current Ranger 2.0L EcoBlue Wildtrak 4x2+ put costs at roughly ₱1.10 per km, or about ₱110,260 total across 100,000 km, with individual PMS visits ranging from about ₱4,770 to ₱18,950 depending on the service interval.

Those are 2018–2019-era figures, predating some of today’s trims and possibly the Bi-Turbo/10-speed combination entirely, so don’t treat them as current pricing for 2026 — but they’re useful context for how the “Fords are mahal to maintain” reputation took hold, and a baseline to sanity-check whatever quote the Service Price Calculator gives you today.

The Wet Timing Belt: Same Question as the Everest

The Ranger’s 2.0L diesel engines — Single-Turbo and Bi-Turbo alike — share the Everest’s “wet” timing belt: a belt-in-oil design instead of a conventional timing chain, meant to reduce friction. Ford’s official change interval is 240,000 km or 10 years, but this is also the engine family where most of the international “wet belt failure” discussion actually originates — owner and technician reports out of South Africa, the UK, and Australia describe some failures well short of the official interval, with preventive replacement sometimes recommended around 150,000–160,000 km as a precaution against belt debris clogging the oil pickup. PH ownership forums like Tsikot have their own threads raising the same concern, though detailed local failure/km figures are harder to pin down than the international reports. If engine longevity over a long ownership period matters to you — especially if you’re buying for towing or heavy-load use — ask your dealer directly about this design and whether any running changes have addressed it on your specific build.

Known Issues on the Ford Ranger

• Wet timing belt (see above) — the same long-term reliability question as the Everest, and arguably more consequential here given how many Rangers see towing or payload duty.
• 10-speed automatic transmission (Bi-Turbo and Raptor trims). PH owner discussion (via Philkotse) includes reports from Filipino Ranger and Raptor owners describing stalling behavior with the 10-speed AT, serious enough that a possible class-action conversation against Ford PH has come up in that reporting. This is a genuine PH-sourced concern, though it isn’t yet tied to a specific published technical service bulletin for this generation — treat it as a real, worth-asking-about issue rather than a confirmed defect with a known fix.
• DPF/EGR under load. As a diesel built for towing and payload work, short-trip or low-load city driving can prevent the DPF from regenerating properly — a general modern-diesel caveat that matters more on a Ranger than on a passenger car, since so many are bought specifically for hauling. Give it regular longer/highway runs and use the correct low-ash diesel oil.
• Unladen ride quality. Like most leaf-sprung pickups, the Ranger rides stiffer and bouncier when the bed is empty than when it’s loaded — a known design tradeoff of the segment, not a defect, but worth test-driving unladen if that’s how you’ll mostly use it.
• Raptor-specific notes. PH owner reviews of the Raptor skew largely positive, with the FOX suspension’s firmer, sportier ride occasionally drawing comment from buyers expecting a softer daily-driver feel — again a design characteristic, not a fault.

Recall History: One Confirmed PH Campaign, One Explicitly Excluded

• Takata airbag inflators (2022, relaunched 2026). This is the recall that does apply — around 32,900 PH vehicles across the Everest, Ranger, and Mustang lineups were covered, announced June 2022 and relaunched by Ford PH in January 2026 for owners who hadn’t yet completed the repair. If you’re shopping a used Ranger, checking recall status by VIN is worth doing.
• E-Shifter unexpected Park engagement (2023) — does NOT cover the PH Ranger. This software fault affected certain 2021–2023 Everest Titanium 4x4 units globally, but Ford PH itself confirmed that in the Philippines, only a small number of Everest units were affected and the Ranger was not part of this recall locally. Worth knowing since some general Ford recall summaries lump Everest and Ranger together without this distinction.
• 10-speed transmission fluid pump gear (2020). This earlier recall covered Thailand-built Ranger and Raptor units with the previous-generation 2.0L powertrain, alongside Everest Titanium units of the same era — it’s tied to the prior generation, not confirmed to extend to the current Next-Gen (2022+) Ranger’s 10-speed unit.

No PH-specific pickup recall (bed, frame, tailgate, driveshaft) was found for the current generation. Always confirm your specific VIN with a Ford dealer, since coverage is unit-specific and recall status can change as campaigns are relaunched.

Dealer Network & Casa vs. Talyer

The Ranger is sold and serviced through the same Ford Group Philippines, Inc. network as the Everest — there’s no separate commercial-vehicle distributor for the pickup. That means the same roughly 50 dealerships nationwide (2024–2025) apply, smaller than Toyota’s or Mitsubishi’s network but a genuine factory-owned operation with its own parts distribution center in Calamba, Laguna.

Under warranty → Ford casa, to protect your coverage and because the wet-belt engine and multi-speed transmissions are specialized enough to want factory diagnostic tools. Out of warranty → a trusted diesel/pickup-savvy talyer can save real money on routine work, but leave the timing belt, DPF service, and transmission work — especially on Bi-Turbo/10-speed units — to technicians who specifically know this engine family.

What You Can DIY

Tire pressure (especially important on a pickup that alternates between loaded and unloaded use — pressures often differ), washer fluid, cabin filter swaps, and wiper blades are fine to handle yourself between visits. Leave the timing-belt system, DPF-related service, and any transmission work to Ford-trained technicians, particularly if you’re running the Bi-Turbo or Raptor.

Verdict: A Capable Workhorse With the Same Homework as the Everest

The current Ranger is a well-reviewed pickup — flexible enough to span a bare manual XL work truck up to a genuinely quick Raptor — and its once-a-year PMS interval is a real, documented advantage that carries over from its Everest sibling. The trade-offs carry over too: no confirmed current PMS pricing to budget against, a wet timing belt whose long-term durability is still debated (arguably more relevant here given how many Rangers tow or haul), and PH-sourced owner concerns about the 10-speed automatic worth asking your dealer about directly. Confirm your trim’s exact engine and transmission combination, get a Service Price Calculator quote, and check the VIN against the Takata recall before you sign.

Frequently Asked Questions

Gaano kadalas ang PMS ng Ford Ranger?

Sa opisyal na Ford PH aftersales program (simula sa mga unit na binili January 2024 pataas), ang unang PMS ay every 12 months o 10,000 km, alinman ang mauna — pareho ito ng Everest at Territory na kapatid ng Ranger sa parehong T6 platform. Mas malayo ito kumpara sa 6-month cycle na dati, kaya minsan lang isang taon dapat magpa-service, hindi twice a year.

Magkano ang PMS ng Ford Ranger?

Walang current, publicly-posted na fixed price list si Ford PH para sa 2.0L Next-Gen Ranger — gumagamit sila ng online Service Price Calculator sa halip. Sa 2018, binawasan ni Ford PH ang maintenance cost ng Ranger ng ~15% (mula ~₱140,000 pababa sa ~₱120,000 kada 5-taon/100,000 km), at may 2019 estimate na ~₱1.10/km. Pero luma na ang mga figures na ito at para sa mas naunang engine — i-check pa rin ang calculator o tumawag sa dealer para sa eksaktong quote ngayong 2026.

Ano ang 'wet timing belt' sa Ranger at dapat ba akong mag-alala?

Ang 2.0L Single-Turbo at Bi-Turbo diesel engine ng Ranger — kaparehong engine family ng Everest — ay gumagamit ng timing belt na naka-submerge sa oli ('wet belt'), hindi timing chain. Opisyal na interval ay 240,000 km/10 years, pero may mga internasyonal na ulat (South Africa, UK, Australia) ng pagkabigo bago pa marating ang figure na iyon. Sa mga PH forum tulad ng Tsikot, pinag-uusapan na rin ito ng mga may-ari, kaya usapin talaga ito na dapat itanong sa dealer.

May recall ba ang Ford Ranger sa Pilipinas?

Oo, verified recall ang Takata airbag inflator campaign — kasama ang Ranger sa mga ~32,900 apektadong yunit sa buong Everest/Ranger/Mustang lineup, inilunsad Hunyo 2022 at muling pinalabas Enero 2026 para sa hindi pa na-repair. Ang 2023 E-Shifter recall na apektado ang Everest Titanium 4x4 ay hindi kasama ang PH Ranger — Ford PH mismo ang nagkumpirma nito. May mas lumang recall din (2020, 10-speed automatic fluid pump gear) na sakop ang naunang henerasyong Wildtrak Bi-Turbo at Raptor. I-check ang VIN mo sa Ford dealer para sigurado.

Ilang henerasyon na ba ang Ford Ranger dito sa Pilipinas?

Apat na malinaw na yugto, kung tutuusin. (1) Ang lumang pre-T6 na Ranger (hanggang 2011) na may 2.5L diesel; (2) ang unang T6 generation (2012–2018) na may 2.2L at, mula 2013, 3.2L five-cylinder engine, kasama ang facelift noong 2015; (3) ang 2.0L Turbo/Bi-Turbo update (2018–2022) kung saan unang dumating ang Raptor, ang 10-speed automatic, at ang once-a-year na PMS policy; at (4) ang kasalukuyang Next-Gen T6/P703 (2022–ngayon) na parehong platform ng Everest. Buo ang kasaysayan ng bawat yugto sa ibaba.

Ano ang pagkakaiba ng lumang 3.2L Ranger sa bagong 2.0L?

Ang 3.2L Duratorq TDCi (5-cylinder, 200 PS/470 Nm) ay eksklusibo dati sa top-spec Wildtrak, mula 2013 hanggang 2018, kasama ang 6-speed automatic. Noong Setyembre 2018, tuluyang inalis ang 3.2L at pinalitan ng 2.0L EcoBlue Single-Turbo (178–180 PS/420 Nm) at Bi-Turbo (210–213 PS/500 Nm) na apat-silindro na lang — mas maliit pero mas malakas at mas fuel-efficient, at doon din unang dumating ang 10-speed automatic. Ang 2.0L na ito ang naging basehan ng makinang ginagamit pa rin hanggang ngayon sa Next-Gen Ranger, kasama ang 'wet' timing belt na usapin (tingnan sa itaas).
