FORD Ranger Super Cab 2011-2015 Photos, engines & full specs

The third generation of the international version of the Ford Ranger was launched in 2011 in Australia. It was designed by Ford Australia and it also was sold in Europe.

There was a completely new chassis for the 2011 Ranger, or the T6 version as it was internally named. Destined for sale across five continents and more than 180 markets, Ford Ranger was offered as a complete family of compact trucks - with three different cab body styles, 4x2 and 4x4 drivetrains, two ride heights and up to five trim levels, depending on the market.

The new styling saw an approach toward the leisure sport-utility truck vehicles. It was the same rugged off-road vehicle, but the bodywork lines were closer to the look of an SUV. Its design also took into consideration the aerodynamic factor so the lines were smoother. The big headlights were flushed to the front fascia. To amplify the width of the car, the grille had horizontal lines and the bumper was taller than before.

The Super Cab version featured four doors, with the rear ones hinged in the back (suicidal doors). It offered four seats inside with limited knee room for the rear passengers. The dashboard was designed taking in consideration other objects, such as the Casio G-Shock sport-watch. Depending on the trim level, it offered a touch-screen infotainment system, climate control and heated seats.

Three engines were available, including a 2.2-liter inline-four-cylinder and a 3.2-liter inline-five. For specific markets, there was also a new 2.5-liter Duratec four-cylinder gasoline engine that Ford says will have more power than its major competitors and is flex-fuel capable. For the transmission, the Ranger was offered in a 4x4 or 4x2 configuration, with a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic.
