Ford Ranger T6.2 (P703) (2022 – 2025)

Reliability score : 8.2/10

The T6.2 generation Ford Ranger (codename P703) marks a major evolution for the best-selling pickup in Europe. Developed in Australia and sharing its platform with the second-generation Volkswagen Amarok, it moves upmarket with an ultra-modern cabin (vertical SYNC 4 screen), widened tracks for better stability, and the introduction of V6 engines (petrol and diesel). Although the European market is historically dominated by diesel, this generation places a strong emphasis on petrol with the spectacular 3.0L V6 EcoBoost of the Raptor, the 4-cylinder 2.3L EcoBoost (very popular in North America), and the arrival of a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version based on the 2.3L petrol. Overall, the Ranger T6.2 confirms its leadership position thanks to an excellent compromise between utility capabilities a

✅ Strengths

Transformed road handling, close to a modern SUV
High-performance petrol engine (EcoBoost) offering, rare in this segment in Europe
Cutting-edge onboard technology (highly responsive 10 or 12-inch SYNC 4 screen)
Off-road and towing capabilities (up to 3500 kg) preserved
Raptor version with the 3.0L V6 petrol engine, unparalleled on the European market

⚠️ Weaknesses

Imposing size (wider than the previous generation), difficult to park in the city
Very high fuel consumption on V6 petrol engines (often > 13L/100km)
Significant number of early recalls (assembly, electronics, running gear) on 2022-2024 models
10-speed automatic gearbox sometimes hesitant or abrupt at low speeds

🎯 Verdict

The Ford Ranger T6.2 is undoubtedly one of the best current pickups in terms of road performance, technology, and capabilities. The choice of a petrol engine (EcoBoost) is particularly relevant for those who make short journeys, seek driving pleasure, or want to avoid the constraints of modern diesels (DPF, AdBlue). The 2.3L EcoBoost is an excellent rational choice, while the 3.0L V6 of the Raptor is a passion purchase. However, the reliability of the early production years (2022-2024) is marred by a long list of recalls (fuel, suspension, transmission). It is imperative to verify that all manufacturer fixes have been applied before purchasing a used model. Once these early defects are corrected, it is a highly recommendable vehicle.
