Congrats sir! welcome to the club.

rides on new 17-inch alloy wheels. It also ditches the stock rear bumper and front grille in favor of glossy black ones. Finally, this Ranger variant gets step boards for easier ingress and egress.

Ford Ranger XLS Sport 4x2 MT – P1,062,000

The Ford Ranger XLS Sport will be available at showrooms starting June 21, 2019

After 4 months and a 3k price increase after, we finally brought home our 2019 Ford Ranger XLS

We opted to go with this car mainly for 4 reasons:

1. Hindi na magbabago ang traffic situation sa Pinas, so might as well drive an automatic car.
2. Hindi na bababa ang presyo ng gas/diesel, so go with the lower costing fuel.
3. Hindi na masosolve ang flooding problems sa Metro Manila, so better get the car/pickup with the highest rated wading depth.
4. Makunat/matibay na kaha.

In our first 2 weeks of ownership, I must say that it really is very easy to drive. There's power when you need it, a real treat when parking (steering is so smooth and soft). My only challenge (so far) is/are the blind spots, especially in turning in on corners (I find the mirrors big. hehe) and when changing lanes. I have to tilt the mirrors down a bit, kasi baka makasagi ng mga naka single na MC.

On a different note, meron po bang familiar sa mga engine code names ng mga 2019 Rangers? I'm trying to figure out po kasi kung either "Puma" or "Panther" or kung ano man po ang sa 2019 XLS variant.

Thank you po in advance sa makakapag bigay linaw, and more power to everyone! God Bless!

I've been trying to get approved, for the past few days, kaso parang either unavailable yung admin kaya hindi ako naa-accept sa Ford Ranger Club Philippines sa Facebook po.

Cross-Post: Pa-confirm ko lang po mga ka-Ranger kung ang 2018 WildTrak 2.2 4x4 A/T ko ay merong Traction Control?

At least a month kasi umaakyat kami bundok na maputik minsan. Dahil walang rear differential locker itong Ranger ko, baka naman merong Traction Control na makatulong sa akyatan (or baka merong LSD ba yun)? Di ko po mahanap technical specs nito eh at nakalagay lang sa manual ay "(If Equipped)".

Thanks po sa sasagot.

Di pa po bi-turbo ranger ko eh, yung previous model pa ito, baka sakali lang po na meron traction control para makatulong sana sa akyatan hehe

Boss planning to buy din XLS AT. Eto kasi swak sa budget and reasons same as you. Question lang po kung kamusta handling? Kayang kaya ba i drive ni kumander? Kasi minsan gagamitin din nya. 1st time to own pick up truck if ever, kamusta po suspension? Salamat po.
