CHECK OUT THE NEW RANGER

WILD RANG FOR THE 2022 BY BEN SELBY ER

Go anywhere in Canterbury and you will see a Ford Ranger within the fi rst fi ve minutes. No one can deny the popularity of Ford’s big selling ute, and things are looking very much the same for the latest Ranger to hit our roads.

The 2022 Ranger does have a more American stance, with its new LED C-clamp headlights and its 50mm larger wheelbase and width. The wider track also allows tradies to store a standard wooden pallet in the rear. Buyers can option a 2.0L single turbo or bi-turbo four cylinder but my test car, the range topping Wildtrak, supplied by Avon City Ford, gets the eagerly awaited 3.0L V6 turbo diesel. Mated to a 10-speed automatic box, it is essentially the same unit Ford US put in the iconic F-150 pickup. It is also a very refi ned unit at that. When hoofi ng it along, it gives a seamless delivery of power and torque from low in the rev range. It doesn’t come in one big lump, but is evenly spread throughout. The Wildtrak gets multiple 4WD drive modes such as 2H, 4H, and 4L. The newest is 4A or automatic which evenly distributes power between the front and rear axles to get the best performance possible in all road conditions. It’s a clever system and allows the new Ranger to munch up the rough stu quite well. Inside, the Ranger has been given an overhaul, with a new and very intuitive 12-inch LED touchscreen infotainment system taking centre stage, literally. This screen displays all your usual tech, but also sports a dedicated o -road screen which displays the pitch, steering and roll angle and a 360-camera giving the driver a panoramic view of the rough terrain. My time with the Ranger was brief but one can safely say there is much to like here.

For the last 50 years, Garry has been a trailblazer within the New Zealand motor industry. He was also one of the fi rst dealers to actively start importing vehicles direct from Japan during the mideighties, even taking customers to Japan with him to ensure they could personally select the car they wanted.

Here you fi nd a selection of premium SUVs and performance cars from Jaguar, BMW, Porsche and Mercedes. Each vehicle has been hand-picked by Garry to ensure only the best qualify for the showroom fl oor. There are even purpose-built race cars too. This stems from Garry’s background as an amateur racing driver, competing in classic motorsport events and saloon car classes.
