Released in September 2011, the Ford PX Series I (PX.I) Ranger Pick-Up was available with a single, super or double cab body.

Released in Australia in July 2015, the Ford PX Series II (PX.II) Ranger introduced an updated interior, mechanical upgrades and greater refinement. For models with manual transmissions, the 2.2- and 3.2-litre turbo-diesel engines had an ‘Auto Stop/Start’ function which enables them to shut down when the vehicle was stationary in traffic to minimise fuel consumption. Furthermore, the 3.2-litre turbo-diesel engine will have an updated exhaust gas recirculation system, while the 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engine was more powerful. Visually, the PX.II Ranger could be identified by its more ‘muscular’ bonnet, trapezoidal grille and ‘imposing’ headlights, styling themes which were shared with the Ford Everest SUV. Inside, the PX.II Ranger XLT and Wildtrak were fitted with an eight-inch touchscreen and dual TFT instrument cluster which was capable of displaying navigation information and climate control settings. .
