The next-generation Ranger's updated appearance and enhanced handling turned out to be a match for Philip's way of life.
“A pick-up truck is really ideal for my needs. As a young driver, I prefer a pick-up truck that looks good and matches my personality. I’m always in remote locations due to the nature of my job, so I need a vehicle that can keep up with my busy schedule, and I found it in the next-gen Ranger,” said Philip.
For Earl, he liked the 2023 Ford Ranger’s look inside and out. “The headlamps are too handsome. Inside, the ride comfort is outstanding. It doesn’t feel like a pick-up truck as the ride feels really premium,” he shared.

He also raves about its fuel efficiency — “A single full tank was almost enough for our 14-day stay in Baguio,” he added
Earl, who frequently drives around Cebu because of the nature of his job, applauded the vehicle’s driving capabilities across different terrains. “I have clients who live far from the city and up in the mountains as well, so it's great to have a truck that is so capable to take me wherever I need to go,” he illustrated.

Both owners can now access their next-generation Ranger trucks remotely with only a tap on their mobile devices thanks to FordPass, which was introduced last year.

You get the best of both worlds,” Philip explained.
Earl also shared why he recommends buyers to pick this pickup truck: “There are plenty of choices in the market right now. It will depend on the buyer's preference, but for me, the next-gen Ranger is one of the best in terms of interior, ride comfort, and exterior design.”
