The SYNC 3 infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and remote vehicle access via the dedicated app that allows owners to check the status, start the engine, lock or unlock the doors, and pre-heat or pre-cool the cabin by using their smartphones, are standard.

The Ranger XL Tradie is powered by a 3.2-liter five-cylinder turbodiesel. The engine is coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive and produces 147 kW (200 PS / 197 HP) and 470 Nm (347 lb-ft) of torque.

“Our 3.2-liter five-cylinder turbodiesel is proven in the marketplace and customers love the engine’s refinement, combined with its durable, workhorse nature”, said Ford Australia and New Zealand CEO, Andrew Birkic.

Ford is offering the XL Tradie Edition for a limited time, with a recommended retail price of AU$52,190, equaling to US$40,428 at today’s exchange rates. It is accompanied by a 5-year / unlimited kilometer warranty, and has 12-month / 15,000-km (9,321-mile) service intervals, with the A and B log-book services being set at a maximum of AU$299 (US$231) per service for the first 4 years / 60,000 km (37,282 miles).
