Ford Ranger Tremor 2.0 Ebl Dcb Au 4x4

from £376.23 (+ VAT) per month

The Ford Ranger Tremor slots into the pick-up truck line-up between the XLT and Wildtrak models. It's similar in concept to the previous-generation Ranger Wolftrak in that it takes XLT as its base and adds new kit geared towards improved off-road ability.

Power comes from the most potent of Ford's EcoBlue diesels, a four-cylinder twin-turbo unit making 202bhp and 500Nm of torque which is connected to a 10-speed automatic gearbox. As well as Bilstein dampers, the Tremor also receives a ride height that's been raised by 26mm, while a 30mm wider track boosts its off-road ability. There's a beefier power steering system, too, while a steel bash plate protects the underside of the Ranger's running gear.

New electronics include Trail Turn Assist, a torque-vectoring system that applies the brakes to help tighten the truck's turning radius by up to 25 per cent. Also fitted is Trail Control, a low-speed cruise control system first seen on the Ranger Raptor. This allows the driver to select a speed below 20mph and the Ranger will maintain that speed over terrain while the driver concentrates on steering.

Visual upgrades over the Ranger XLT include black wheelarch mouldings to cover the Tremor's wider track, black aluminium side steps, a black roll bar in the cargo bed, exposed tow hooks up front and grey exterior detailing. Inside, there are water-resistant vinyl floor mats, while the bank of six pre-wired overhead switches can be connected to accessories such as winches and LED light bars.
