On Wednesday, Ford unveiled a redesigned version for the American market, along with a new (for this part of the world) high-performance variant, the Ranger Raptor. Jim Baumbick, Ford’s vice president of product development for non-electric vehicles, described the Ranger as “the F-150 for the rest of the world.” Here in the US, added: “It has this really important sweet spot when we think about our customers.” Originally developed in Australia, it was designed as a serious work truck for places where roads are narrow and often sketchy. In terms of size and capabilities, it fits between the big F-150 and the small, car-like Ford Maverick.
