LIVE THE RANGER LIFE

Bringing the Ranger’s values and persona to life, Ford also unveiled the new philosophy, aiming to highlight and celebrate the many ways that the renowned strength and engineering capabilities of the Ranger reflect and support its customers’ personal goals and drive in life, centered around five guiding values:

• Up and Over

There’s no challenge we don’t tackle head-on. When we see a mountain range we want to go over, not around. This is true of our truck, users, Ford, and partners.

• Can’t Help But Help

We are doers. We pitch in. When people need help or assistance we’re always there. On the building site, helping friends or loved ones, or our dealers within their local communities.

• Where There Isn’t a Path, Carve One

We are the truck that redefined the category. We don’t wait for others to lead. We have a vision and objective and we’re fearless in what we need to do to achieve our goals.

• Bring Others Along the Journey

—It’s great to work hard and achieve recognition, but even better to share it with those who mean the most - our family and friends.

• We Make Our Own Fun

There’s no such thing as all work and no play. And when it’s time to play, we know how to make the most of those opportunities. Our truck is awesome and fun to drive.

“Live the Ranger Life —will allow us to connect with our customers in a deeper and more emotional way by showcasing how the Ranger enables their passions and goals. Understanding our customers allows us to deliver the right vehicles that truly meet their needs today and in the future. Beyond their functionality and versatility, pickup trucks have become symbols of success for our customers, and the new Ranger’s refreshed look and design will allow them to fully express their identity and individuality,” added Umashankar.
