Limited numbers of 2022 Ford Ranger utes are due to arrive in Australian showrooms in June and July, before production ramps up ahead of August deliveries.
Australian arrival timing for the 2022 Ford Ranger line-up has started to leak via Ford dealers.
While a limited number of demonstrator models and showroom stock are due to arrive in June or July, the bulk of deliveries are not due until August, Ford dealers have been told.
This is slightly later than the arrival timing originally forecast for the 2022 Ford Ranger line-up, but Ford dealers have been advised the delay has been caused by the semiconductor shortage.
With a full suite of advanced safety technology, the new Ford Ranger line-up requires more computer chips than its predecessor.
The good news is, Ford dealers have been assured there will be sufficient stock of the 2022 Ford Ranger Wildtrak with the optional turbo diesel 3.0-litre V6 sourced from the Ford F-150.
The turbo diesel V6 is an extra-cost option in the new Ford Ranger line-up; the twin-turbo 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel will become the standard engine in higher-grade models the new line-up.
Ford dealers are yet to receive pricing for the new Ford Ranger, and are taking deposits “pending price and test drive”.
It means customers who get in the queue early can have their deposits refunded if they don’t go ahead with the deal.
Ford Australia is expected to announce price and specs for every model in the 2022 Ford Ranger line-up next month, so customers – and dealers – can start placing orders based on accurate information.
Ford is also yet to announce exact power outputs of the twin-turbo 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel and the single-turbo 3.0-litre V6 diesel, and fuel consumption ratings.
However, this data is expected to become available when price and specs are announced for the 2022 Ford Ranger.
Meantime, showroom arrival timing for the recently-unveiled Ford Ranger Raptor is set for the second half of 2022, according to Ford Australia.
Ford dealers canvassed by Drive expect initial deliveries of the new Ford Ranger Raptor late this year – ahead of a ramp-up in production early next year.
