Outstanding and congrats to all at Ford.
Awesome sales by Ranger and Everest right up there with Prado also.

Great effort by Ford, 5,728 Rangers (5,147 4x4 and 481 4x2) and 1,271 Everest
Hopefully, more of those buyers waiting in queue get their new vehicles before Christmas. |

How and why are people buying the Hilux over the new Ranger?! It makes no sense at all! Are these just existing fleet deals Toyota are enjoying? The Hilux is so average compared to the new Ranger!
Good to see the Everest up there against the Prado... Another car that makes no sense to sell in the numbers it does.

Prado - is a bit bigger inside and has a strong history and brand pull Hilux - as above, really isnt that bad and yes they would have huge sales from resources rolling over leases

Ford is the class leader in the segment, not neccessarily in sales but the vehicle itself. |

I think the Ranger is helping change the culture, but Toyota jus have an aura to them that the common folk love.

Let’s not lose track of this being Ford catching up on a long list of orders
just like Toyota did with those huge deliveries earlier this year. Honestly Ute sales are now Ford vs Toyota vs who cares |

Ford's dark horse is Everest, can't wait for 2023 figures, will deliver as many as they can build, you watch it nip at Prado's heels and then smash it.

Again, the Hilux isn't bad. I didn't say that. I said that with the new Ranger, it's average and you'd be mad to look at the Hilux given its so dated and the drive again is so poor. I give the Ranger and Everest a hard time on this forum, I know. But they are really great cars in the segment and are above the offerings from Toyota. Heck, I recovered so many Prados at Fraser Island with my Everest when we went there. They aren't all that off road nor on road. I just don't understand the fandom around them.

I'd be more concerned about the size of the queue you'd have to now join anyway.

I have a feeling that Ranger may settle around 4,000 sales a month and maybe 1500/ mth for Everest Ford has a habit of self wounding what should be easy money in the bank…… Quote:

The Everest result is impressive, considering it was it’s first full month on sale with supply still trickling out to the dealers. I was not expecting it to get so close to Prado yet. Next few months will be very interesting. Prado also loses it’s 5 star safety rating from Jan 1 as well. That’s going to really cost it. I think it’s just a matter of time before Everest beats it. No one would have thought that 12 months ago. And there are still more things to come for Ranger and Everest. It’s just a starting point atm. |

But thats what separates us from the plebs, we're the 1%, let the plebs have their precious Toyota ![]() I'm quite the critic of the Thailand Specials, it is well known I do not like Thailand Specials (Well, I like the one I own - nostalgia) However, Ford has been the class leader of the Thailand Special since the release of the PX Ranger and they are yet again the class leader with the new one, no one holds a candle on the Ranger, the Hilux trades on its old reputation and the Toyota badge. Ford was also the class leader in mini and small hatches, they might not have ever been the sales leader compared to Mazda or Toyota, but no one made a small hatch that stops, goes and steers like Ford Europe did.

"And the Ranger result was enough to elevate Ford to second spot on the podium for the month – behind market leader Toyota – for the first time in more than two decades, since September 1999."
That's about a year into the AU's run ![]()

Does anyone know what Ford are naming the new Ranger, as in model code?
We progressed from PJ, PK, PX.........what is the new prefix?

I have seen many hints in here as to other models of Rangers coming in the near future.
Does anyone think there will be a model with a lift and larger tyres being a more offroad / touring orientated version in Diesel sort of like the FX Version? I am not sure why they didn't offer this over the Sport.
