The XLT's standard fit-out has a full suite of airbags and includes full-length side curtain airbags, a rear-view camera, park sensors front and rear, a rear diff-lock, dual-zone climate control, rain-sensing wipers, side steps, sports bar, DAB+ radio, navigation, and tyre pressure monitoring. Standard equipment levels are good, and only the Holden Colorado LTZ offers more kit for slightly less money. But the Ford's depreciation, running and repair costs, and insurance premiums, hover around the class averages. The Ranger XLT and HiLux SR5 are the two dearest utes in our scoresheets. This was announced just as our test week for all the class finalists kicked off, making the Ranger almost untouchable. With some updates since then, the Ranger has once again asserted itself, and was looking promising for a win in 2018 even before the Blue Oval offered a new five years/unlimited kilometre warranty for new vehicles delivered from May 1st. It has only lost its crown once when it fell to the eighth-generation Toyota HiLux in 2015. Here's how the Ford Ranger took the top spot:Ĭurrently Ford’s most popular model and one of the best sellers in this class, the Ranger has dominated Australia's Best Cars 4x4 dual cab ute category since its inclusion in the program in 2013. Judges use three main criteria - value for money, design and function, and on the road - to inform their decisions. The popular Ford model beat out the VW Amarok and Toyota HiLux to take the gong.Īustralia's Best Cars puts popular makes and models through their paces in 15 different categories, ideally to give perspective buyers the best possible review before they choose one to purchase.
Those interested in a 4x4 dual cab ute shouldn't look past the Ford Ranger XLT, according to the judges of Australia's Best Cars 2018.
