We’ve got your back. The Rear View Camera turns on automatically when you put your Ranger into reverse, allowing you to see objects behind you while the beep of the rear parking sensors tells you how close you are.
This might be a truck but Ford’s famous driving dynamics still apply. This includes the effortless manoeuvrability EPAS (Electronic Power-Assisted Steering) delivers in all types of conditions. Steering is light and responsive for city driving and when parking, and firmer and easier to control at higher speeds on the open road.
