Car for transportation of construction materials? Not at all, although this is possible. Test Ford Ranger pickup is too classy and generous to its capacity was spent on transportation of bricks or bags of building mixtures. Such term as "a luxury pickup, still grates on the ear? At first glance, it's not too paradoxical combination of the right set of equipment that is highly needed. Nevertheless, a vehicle created once as razvoznogo "truck" for farmers and artisans, and gradually settled in the wealthier circles of modern society. Before us - a typical representative of the All Terrain pickups with all visible and invisible signs of this type of vehicle: the characteristic loading platform (length 1530 mm and a width of 1,456 mm), spring rear suspension, frame construction, force plug-wheel drive and a reduction gear in the transfer case. Strengthens its practical advantages Ranger through a stylish appearance. Two-tone paint body extender fender flares and roof rails and cargo compartment sides give it a respectable appearance, as well as the large chrome surface. A plastic high "muscular" body creates an image of the car, created for recreation and adventure. The interior of the car, though no claims to the prefix "premium", but by no means gives the impression of a poor and primitive. This, above all, prevent the high quality plastic, silver inserts on the center console, the combined seat trim and leather alkantroy with orange stitching and embroidered logo Wildtrak on the backs of the front seats. Enforcement of controls not satisfactory - all controls, buttons, pens logically laid out and made quite a qualitatively and accurately. At the top of the center console there are additional devices intended rather for the movement in the terrain: an electronic compass and inclinometer, providing information about the angles of descent / ascent and lateral inclination of the vehicle. Front seats have ample adjustment range, ensuring a comfortable fit driver and front passenger growth of almost any complexion. Complaints is only a back seat - second row passengers will not be too comfortable because of the almost vertical landings. In addition, spring rear suspension detail conveys fares profile pavement. Turbo 2.5-liter engine produces 143 hp, which has low noise and vibration-free working thanks to two counterweight shafts, deserves the most flattering assessment. During the test, never had a feeling a lack of power and torque, even on steep climbs. Moreover, the motor provides nearly two-ton car good momentum without breaking with the world's oil reserves for the very first weekend. So that the carriage of sporting equipment, food, and tow a trailer with a boat or ATV to a cherished vacation spot for the Ford Ranger is not a problem. These qualities are the true will appreciate how private owners and companies involved in the organization of rest for their clients (tourism, hunting, fishing, etc.), ski resorts for the delivery of sports equipment and provisions. As for ride quality, then they can be found in the test-drive Ford Ranger. Summarizing, we can say that from a business perspective, with its harsh pragmatism and Russian specifics Ford Ranger Wildtrak is still not the most advantageous offer. For the delivery and transportation of various loads in off-road vehicles are simpler and cheaper (to those include, for example, products of the Ulyanovsk Automobile Factory). However, all except for recreation for people who are accustomed to comfort. Stylish pickup, Ford seems especially designed to give its owner an opportunity to escape from everyday worries in the country, taking with them everything necessary for outdoor activities. Or help the owners of tourism, skiing and other databases and boarding houses to provide a holiday for everyone. Text: Alex Man Photo: Kirill Kozyrev
