Ford Ranger XLT V6: the new Argentine pick-up that debuts the segment’s most powerful diesel engine

The arrival of the new Ford Ranger XLT V6 marks a strategic move in one of the most competitive segments in the region. Ford has expanded its offering with the addition of its acclaimed 3.0L V6 Turbo Diesel engine delivering 250 hp, manufactured at the modern Pacheco engine plant and known for combining efficiency, flexibility, and top-tier performance. Paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, this powertrain stands out as one of the strongest mechanical arguments in the renewed Ranger lineup.

A significant boost in technology and sophistication within the Ranger family

Beyond the increase in power, the new XLT V6 positions itself above the XLS variant thanks to a much more complete technology package. It shares the high-performance powertrain –3.0L V6 engine, 10-speed automatic gearbox and intelligent 4WD system– but adds the Ford Co-Pilot 360 semi-autonomous driver-assistance suite, featuring lane-keeping assist, pre-collision assist with pedestrian detection, and auto high-beam control, all of which significantly enhance active safety.

Comfort has also received a substantial upgrade. The Ranger XLT V6 features eco-leather upholstery, a driver’s seat with 8-way electric adjustment, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror. These are complemented by front parking sensors –in addition to the rear ones– rain-sensing wipers, power-folding exterior mirrors, and LED fog lights, resulting in a more functional interior suitable for both professional and personal use.

Overall, this version presents itself as a well-balanced option for those seeking a robust pick-up with an extra dose of refinement and technology. The combination of the powerful V6 engine, intelligent all-wheel drive, and advanced semi-autonomous safety systems positions the new Ranger XLT V6 as one of the most complete choices in the Argentine market.

The Ford Ranger XLT V6 is now available across the brand’s official dealer network in Argentina, with a suggested retail price of 79,950,000 pesos, reinforcing Ford’s strong push in an increasingly demanding segment.
