Presented as a concept in 2018 at the Sao Paolo International Motor Show, the Storm returns in 2020 as a special edition. Exclusive to the Brazilian market, the newcomer is meant to bridge the gap between the Ranger FX4 for the U.S. market and the Ranger Raptor for the rest of the world.
Before anything, it should be mentioned that the first 60 customers will be treated to a snorkel for superior water wading as well as a roll-up tonneau cover for the cargo area. Pricing starts at 150,990 reais or $27,130 at current exchange rates, the limited-edition truck comes standard with 4x4 plus the 3.2 Duratorq.
The five-cylinder turbo diesel is a proper workhorse of an engine, shared with the likes of the Everest, Transit, Troller T4, and Mazda BT-50 pickup truck. But as opposed to the bi-turbo diesel with 2.0 liters of displacement, the automatic transmission of the five-cylinder powerplant boasts only six instead of 10 gears.
Standard equipment further includes smoked headlights and taillights, a lot of decals, plastic fender flares with the same black plastic finish as the grille, side steps, a locking differential for the rear axle, and SYNC 3 infotainment. Scorpion A/T Plus rubber boots and a black-painted sports bar are also included in the price.
No fewer than seven colors for the exterior are available, starting with Arctic White and Bari Red as featured in the photo gallery. Customers can further opt for Tuscany Red, black, gray, silver, and a rather beautiful hue called Belize Blue.
With 200 PS and 470 Nm on deck (197 horsepower and 347 pound-feet of torque), the larger of the two Duratorq options is more than adequate for a mid-sized pickup truck. A 2.2-liter turbo diesel is also available, but nevertheless, the bi-turbo option mentioned beforehand is punchier than both of them. The Brazil-exclusive Storm slots between the XLS and XLT trim levels in terms of pricing while the range-topping option is the Limited.
Over in the United States, the Ranger comes with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost paired to a 10-speed automatic transmission. The most potent four-cylinder gasoline engine in this segment is crank-rated at 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque (274 PS and 420 Nm).
