The Ranger PX1, PX2 and PX3 have all ruled the roost in the 4WD world for quite some time now. As well as taking the title of best selling pickup for several years running, its status as an ‘allrounder’ makes it appealing to a vast range of drivers. When comparing all Ranger models, the PX3 – manufactured between 2019 and 2022, and frequently but incorrectly referred to as the ‘T8’ by many customers – is particularly versatile as Regit explains:
“The latest 2019 Ford Ranger is a rough, tough workhorse that can deliver when it comes to day-to-day challenges. It can tow up to 3.5 tonnes, can wade through water up to 800mm deep and has a payload of one tonne making this 4×4 model quite the all-rounder. But it’s also very accomplished when it comes to everyday motoring with handling that’s as good as some SUVs.”
For those looking to specifically use their Ranger PX3 to indulge their passion for overlanding, there are a few upgrades to make to refine your setup further. Here are our top picks for achieving just that!
