CarExpert's Take
- Towing specs finally segment-matching
- Efficient bi-turbo diesel
- Long conditional warranty
- Infuriating driver attention monitor
- Idle stop-start is painfully laggy
- Transmission needs more gears
- Lovely V6 diesel
- Interior is still a benchmark
- Excellent unladen ride
- Expensive for a mid-range ute
- Features removed mid-year
- Touring Pack remains an option

Ford is giving its gen-two Ranger and Ranger Raptor a handful of colours including some brilliant bright colours for the alter, including one exclusive to the flagship ute.
However, if you like 50 shades of grey – or, in this case, three – you’ll still have some options that’ll suit.
The colour palette comprises the following:
- Absolute Black
- Aluminium
- Arctic White
- Blue Lightning
- Meteor Grey
- Sedona Orange
- Luxe Yellow (Wildtrak only)
- Code Orange (Raptor only)
- Conquer Grey (Raptor only)
Comparison
Reviews
The Triton GLS has plenty of bling inside and out, though the calibration of some of its safety systems leave a lasting impression.

More than two years on from launch, the Ford Ranger is still the dual-cab king in Australia. A drive in the XLT reminded us why.
