This is no ordinary evolution. The All-New RANGER is a completely different animal.

The RANGER was brought to life by Fords best engineers from around the globe. A pickup truck built with no compromise, it was tested in the toughest climates and terrains across five continents to ensure its superior durability.

With such meticulous engineering and great advances in driving technology, like the inclusion of an electronic throttle control, 10% improved body

sealing and NVH packaging that reduces interior noise levels, the All-New RANGER is the benchmark in pickup truck standards giving you unmatched

precision, stability and comfort.

Completely designed around the driver, the All-New RANGER comes equipped with the latest entertainment and connectivity technology,

making it a smart and refined truck. However, its true truck DNA was not neglected. Chassis, drive train and suspension were totally redesigned to achieve an impressive towing capacity of up to 3 350kg and payloads in

excess of one ton. Air intake and electronics were also repositioned with the driver in mind, giving superior performance with exceptional water wading of

800mm.

You demand. The All-New RANGER delivers, then asks for more.

The traction control system is integrated into the anti-lock brake system and uses the same wheel speed sensors and hydraulic control unit (HCU). The HCU has additional internal solenoid valves and a self priming pump incorporated to enable brake pressure increases without pressure in the master cylinder.

Brake Traction Control System (BTCS)Brake traction control uses controlled braking of the spinning driving wheel when there is a variation in traction at the driven wheels.The BTCS assists traction in a pull away from rest situation and can become active at road speeds . When the BTCS is active the driver is made aware of the fact by the flashes of a warning indicator located in the instrument cluster.

Anti-Lock Control - Traction Control


The spinning wheel is braked by the anti-lock braking system (ABS) which transfers a greater proportion of the engine torque, via the differential, to the other driven wheel, thereby increasing the utilization of the available traction.To prevent the risk of stalling the engine, the BTCS reads engine speed data from the high speed CAN bus. If this data is faulted or not available, the BTCS will not function and the warning will be permanently on.There is no driver disable switch for BTCS, BTCS is turned off when the ESP Off switch is pushed at 2WD mode in 2WD and 4WD vehicle. And, BTCS is not turned off even if the ESP Off switch is pushed when the mode is 4WD Hi and 4WD Lo in 4WD vehicle. Also, BTCS is always off regardless of ON/OFF of the ESP Off switch when ELRD(electronic Locking Rear Differential) is on.ESP has the logic of the brake fade detection named BTM(Brake Temperature Mode). This logic presumes the temperature of the brake pad, and prohibits BTCS when state of the brake fade(overheat). And, it lights up the ESP warning indicator. When the brake gets cold, ESP warning indicator is turned off. And, it returns to the state that BTCS can be operated again. As a result, the thermal destruction of the base brake is prevented.

1. Twin-piston callipers reduce weight and improve thermal performance.

2. New coil-over-strut suspension improves tuning of the upper and lower wishbone for a more car-like ride and handling.

3. Hydromount offers the ability to damp a broad range of shake inputs for a consistently smooth ride in both the best and most difficult road conditions. Available on select Double and Single Cab diesel mod-els only.

4. Larger front rotors for optimum braking performance, even when carrying a load.

Dynamic Stability Program (DSC)

Hill Descents ControlBrakes are automatically applied, as needed, to slow the vehicle to a set speed, without the driver needing to use the brake pedal. Speed can be ad-justed through the accelerator and the Cruise Control buttons on the steering wheel. Works in forward and reverse

Adaptive Load Control

Automatically adjusts the Dynamic Stability Control parameters to match the load and ensure all controls remain effective across different loads, or with no load at all.

Trailer Sway AssistConstantly monitors behavior of the tow vehicle and trailer and automati-cally corrects instability or sway us-ing a left-right braking pattern and engine torque.


Technical

Maintains maximum brake pressure in an emergency stopping situation.

Rollover MitigationHelps prevent the vehicle getting into a roll-over situation.

Emergency Brake Assist

Braked towing capacity of 3.350 ton dependant on final drive ratio (FDR) and available only when fitted with a Genuine Ford towpack and tow ball.Payload ranging from 965kg to 1232kg depending on derivative


Trailer towbar

If the vehicle is delivered from the factory with a towbar, then this is equipped with a 13-pin socket. For aftermarket installation, both a variant with a 13-pin socket and also a variant with a 7 pin socket are available in service.

The fundamental difference between the two variants:

The 7-pin version does not support deactivation of the parking aid (if it is installed in the vehicle).

The trailer towbar module is connected to constant positive at the passenger compartment fuse box (terminal 30, fuse 23). For the 13-pin version, the trailer towbar module is connected with the parking aid module. As soon as a connector is inserted into the socket, the rear parking aid is deactivated.

Non-monocoque bodywork

Non-monocoque bodywork is built onto a frame or a chassis. Frames used for this have various construction forms, e.g. the ladder frame or tubeframe. Non-monocoque bodywork is the original way of constructing vehicles.The ladder frame is still commonly used today for truck and off-road vehicles. The bodywork is placed on the frame or chassis. The total load which occurs while driving is transferred to the chassis.

Special features of non-monocoque bodywork construction:

Partly large surface panels and high volume shaped parts. Thicker materials and greater reinforcements in the frame area. Floor pan as frame structure with high torsional rigidity and flexural

strength. Side panels only make a small contribution to the overall stability of the

body.

Instructions for repair:

A different repair technique is necessary during repairs. A deformed frame structure requires high suction power during straightening repairs. Frequently, the body also has to be detached from the frame structure in order to carry out separate repair.Due to the very stable frame structure, please note that the straightening behaviour is completely different to that of a passenger vehicle. The frame and the attached body must be repaired independently of each other.Further information can be found in the respective body repair manual.


With the 2011.25 model year, the Ford Ranger is superseded by a completely new vehicle. The T6 is based on the U1 platform which has been developed in co-operation with Mazda. 2-door and 4-door body versions are offered. Within the company the model designation is P375. Overall the vehicle weighs less than its predecessor. However, it offers increased occupant safety through the use of high-strength and super-high-strength steels. The high-strength and super-high-strength steels used make extra demands on the tools to be employed for some body repairs.

The reinforcements at the A- and B-pillars are made of Usibor steel. This material has a yield strength of 1300 MPa. Sectional repairs must NOT be performed on components made of Usibor! The required continuous MIG weld seam in the cut area would cause structural changes in the steeland lead to a significant loss in strength. In the event of damage, the complete component must therefore always be renewed. Also, because of the strength of these components, it is not always possible to work them with conventional body repair tools or welding work (resistance spot welding and inert gas puddle welding), additional preparation work and/or special welding equipment are required.

Noise, Vibration and Harshness (NVH)

Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) is becoming more important as vehicles become more sophisticated and passenger comfort levels increase. This section is designed to aid in the diagnosis and testing and repair of NVH concerns.

Noise is defined as sounds not associated with the operation of passenger compartment equipment that interface with customer satisfaction.

Vibration is defined as impulses felt by the customer that are not caused by road surface changes.

Harshness is a ride quality issue where the customer feels that the vehicle response to the road surface is sharply transmitted to the customer.

RCM (Restraint Control Module)

Passenger air bag deactivation switch

Air bag warning indicator

Electronic sensors are incorporated into the RCM; these measure the vehicle acceleration / deceleration in the event of a collision. The calculated value is evaluated by the RCM to determine the severity of the impact.The RCM compares the values it receives from the crash sensor, side impact sensors and the internal electronic sensors. If the deceleration, due to a frontal or side impact, exceeds the stored value the RCM will trigger the air bag modules and the safety belt pretensioners as required.

The RCM can be used again after a collision, provided the RCM is not physically damaged and it passes a self-test.

When the ignition is switched on, a warning lamp in the instrument panel indicates that the passenger air bag module has been deactivated.

The airbag warning indicator is active when an airbag system Fault has occurred or the airbag module is disconnected. The indicator will have a predetermined bulb prove-out following ignition being turned to 'Run' configurable with restraints system.

Driver air bag and driver lower air bag

This vehicle line is available with a steering wheel mounted driver air bag and a driver lower air bag (knee air bag).

Side impact sensor (Front doors)

There are two side impact sensors located in the front driver and passenger doors. The sensorstransmit digitally encoded pressure information to the RCM, where it is evaluated to assess the severity of a side impact. Power is supplied to thesensor by the RCM. If the sensor fails, the RCM stores a diagnostic trouble code (DTC).

Side impact sensors

Side impact sensor (Rear side)

There are two side impact sensors located at the bottom of the C-pillars in stretch cab and double cab variants. The sensors transmit digitally encoded acceleration information to the RCM, where it is evaluated to assess the severity of a side impact. Power is supplied to the side impact sensor by the RCM. If the senor fails, the RCM stores a diagnostic trouble code (DTC).


Restraint System

Side air curtain

In the event of a side impact, the side air curtains (curtain air bags) deploy from the headliner, protecting the first and second row outboard occupants during a side impact.

There are two front impact severity sensors located at the front of the vehicle, behind the radiator grille.The sensors transmit digitally encoded acceleration information to the RCM, where it is evaluated to assess the severity of a front impact. Power is supplied to the sensor by the RCM. If the sensor fails, the RCM stores a diagnostic trouble code (DTC).

Front impact severity sensor

The front outboard seat belts are available equipped with a retractor pretensioner and load limiter. In the event of a collision, the safety beltpretensioner deploy in one of two ways:

On their own. Simultaneously with the front air

bag module(s).

Safety belt use is necessary to obtain the best occupant protection and to receive the full advantage of the SRS.

Safety belt retractor and pretensioners


The side air bags are incorporated in the front seat backrests and side air bag modules deploy from the outboard of front seat backrest upon a side impact.When a side air bag is deployed, the seam of the seat cover tears open enabling the side air bag to inflate unhindered from the front seat backrest.
