New Ford Ranger XLT 2024 Hits The Automotive Market At R$ 30 Thousand Cheaper Than The Top Version, But Still Delivers More Comfort And Power Than Its Rival Hilux.

Ford recently started the launch of the new Ford Ranger, showcasing only the two most expensive versions, namely the XLT and Limited. The Ford Ranger XLT 2024 costs R$ 30 thousand less than the top-of-the-line Limited and offers a simpler look and a more streamlined equipment list. Despite everything, this version is packed with technology, power, and comfort to leave the Hilux behind.

The rival of the Hilux clearly features a less sophisticated design than the Limited. The fender trims are black, the wheels are smaller 17-inch alloy, while items such as LED taillights, the roof rack, and the bed protection (an item that should be mandatory) are omitted. Still, the Ford Ranger XLT 2024 is very beautiful and conveys a sense of robustness even greater than that of the more expensive pickup. 

In terms of measurements, the model is 5.37 meters long, 1.88 meters high, has a 3.27-meter wheelbase, and is 2.21 meters wide, including the mirrors. Its payload capacity is 1,037 kilograms.

It is worth mentioning that some interesting elements from the Limited are also present in the new Ford Ranger XLT 2024, such as a tailgate with assisted opening and closing, electrically folding mirrors, lighting, and electrical outlets in the load compartment, as well as LED headlights. It is also notable that the Hilux rival comes equipped with a 3.0 V6 turbo diesel engine producing 250 horsepower, along with a ten-speed automatic transmission and 4×4 traction.

Interior Of The New Ford Ranger XLT 2024 Delivers Cutting-Edge Technology

The search for differences between the Ranger XLT and the Limited also continues in the cabin of the model.

At first glance, it seems to be the same car, as the mid-range pickup also features leather seats with electric adjustments for the driver’s seat, an eight-inch digital panel, and an electronic gear shift lever. However, after a few minutes inside the Hilux rival, it is possible to notice that the air conditioning is not automatic and that a key must be used to start the engine.

The multimedia system also has a smaller screen than the more expensive version. It features a 10-inch screen (12 inches on the Limited). Apart from this, the new Ford Ranger XLT 2024 offers a cabin that is as well-finished as that of the Limited.

Compared to other models in the sector, such as the Hilux, it offers a very high level of comfort for a mid-size pickup. It even includes air vents for the rear seats. It is also worth mentioning that the model comes with various features such as airbags, hill descent assist, front and rear parking sensors, cruise control, and much more.

Is It Worth Saving R$ 30 Thousand On This Cheaper Version?

The new Ford Ranger XLT 2024 is available for R$ 289,990, the same price as direct competitors like the Toyota Hilux SRV and a technical tie with the Chevrolet S10 LTZ. While the model may lack some comfort items compared to competitors, it makes up for it with a more powerful powertrain, superior performance, and a good safety package.

Without heating up the comparison with the Ranger Limited, the XLT does make some concessions to be cheaper. However, the essential qualities of this new generation of mid-size pickups are also present in this more accessible version. Thus, it is possible to save R$ 30 thousand without regret.
