2023 (23)Ford Ranger 2.0 EcoBlue XL Pickup Double Cab 4dr Diesel Manual 4WD Euro 6 (s/s) (170 ps

The latest Ford Ranger arrives with a reputation to uphold. For years, it has been the benchmark by which other pick-ups are judged, combining genuine workhorse capability with the refinement and road manners of a modern SUV. In entry-level XL trim, this 2023 Ranger strips things back to essentials, but crucially retains all the qualities that have made the model such a success.At first glance, the new-generation Ranger looks every inch the rugged commercial vehicle. Its broader stance, imposing grille and muscular wheel arches give it a far more commanding presence than its predecessor. Even in XL specification, where styling embellishments are kept to a minimum, the Ranger exudes toughness and purpose. Under the bonnet sits Ford's 2.0-litre EcoBlue diesel engine producing 170PS. While it may not offer the outright punch of the more powerful bi-turbo variants, it delivers a healthy 405Nm of torque, providing ample pulling power for everyday duties. Paired with a six-speed manual gearbox, the powertrain feels well suited to drivers who prefer a more traditional, hands-on driving experienceWhere the Ranger continues to impress is on the road. Despite its ladder-frame construction, ride quality is surprisingly composed, and body control is excellent for a vehicle of this type. The steering is precise, motorway refinement is strong, and wind and road noise are kept well in check. It feels far more sophisticated than many rivals, making long-distance journeys less tiring than you might expect from a working pick-up. Inside, the XL trim focuses on durability over luxury, but the cabin still feels modern and thoughtfully designed. The driving position is commanding, visibility is excellent and the controls are intuitive. Hard-wearing materials dominate, as expected in a vehicle intended for serious work, yet build quality feels solid throughout. The double-cab configuration adds genuine practicality, with enough rear-seat space to comfortably accommodate adult passengers. Ultimately, the 2023 Ford Ranger 2.0 EcoBlue XL Double Cab Manual 4WD succeeds because it excels at the fundamentals. It is robust, practical, comfortable and capable, offering genuine work-ready credentials without sacrificing everyday usability. While higher-spec models bring additional luxury and performance, this XL variant represents the Ranger in its purest form—a dependable, no-nonsense pick-up that remains one of the class leaders.
