According to Drive Ranger XL and XLS are not selling?

[csv8]

"The waiting times for the top-end versions of the new-generation Ford Ranger such as the XLT, Sport and Wildtrak – especially variants equipped with the optional turbo diesel V6 – stretch from six to 18 months.


But Ford dealers are struggling to get customers to even open the door on the Ford Rangers with the cheap seats, steel wheels and vinyl floors.

Perhaps it's the ugly halogen headlights that are the real turn off, but whatever the reason, the basic Ford Ranger XL and XLS seem to be sale proof.

Which is why Ford is blasting radio ads in all major capital cities – and regional areas – to help clear the decks (and showroom forecourts) of the ugly ducklings of the Ford Ranger family.

All models come with the full suite of advanced safety tech; the standard single-turbo 2.0-litre diesel is perky enough for light-duty use and super-efficient.

So if you're desperate to get into a new Ford Ranger and can live with the dull appearance and duller performance of the halogen headlights – a clear signal to others you're in the cheap seats – you can drive away in a new ute today.'"
