Second quarter retail sales for the Ranger rose 25 percent to a record 3,694 vehicles, driving its year-to-date total up 25 percent to 6,836 vehicles.
“The Ranger remains one of the country’s most preferred pickup trucks, and continues to set the benchmark for the segment with its versatility, capability, power, and class-leading driver assist technologies,” said PK Umashankar, managing director, Ford Philippines.
The “Built Ford Tough” Ranger lineup in the Philippines has grown to 11 variants, including the recent addition of the Ranger XLS Sport which features striking design enhancements for the XLS variant that further strengthen its rugged, visual appeal.
