2023 Ford Ranger, Ranger Raptor and Everest arrival timings confirmed

The next-generation 2023 Ford Ranger, Ranger Raptor and Everest will arrive in Aussie showrooms sooner than expected, the carmaker has confirmed.

Until now Ford had only indicted ‘mid year’ for its trio of new model releases, but we now know the calendar months each model will arrive.

First to land will be the new T6.2 Ranger, which will hit Aussie showrooms in mid-June. Hot on its heels will be the second-generation Ranger Raptor, due in the middle of July, while the Everest will arrive a month after that in mid-August.

Mercifully, despite growing speculation that arrival dates may have been pushed out due to the current industry-wide delays on production and supply, all three models are due Down Under imminently.

Speaking to Wheels at the pre-production drive of the second-generation Ranger Raptor in South Australia (keep your eyes peeled for our Raptor review, which will go live in the coming weeks!), Ford executives confirmed the timing and added it's confident all three models will have strong supply.

“We’re in a good spot,” said a Ford spokesperson. “There’s been a big focus on ensuring we have enough supply given the huge interest in these vehicles, but we’d always want more of course. Based on feedback from our dealers interest has been very high.”

Most of that interest has been in the higher-spec V6 models, says Ford, with the Ranger Wildtrak V6 and Ranger Raptor attracting the most attention from prospective buyers, at least initially.

Pricing for all three new models is yet to be released, although Ford did say the cost of the regular Ranger range is due “within weeks”. Modest price rises are expected across the board. If you want to read the full details of the new Ranger’s Aussie line-up, read our story here.

For those of you hunting a bargain on an existing Ranger or Everest, get in quick: dealer stock of those vehicles will soon dry up. Production of the current Ranger is due to end imminently in Thailand, while the Everest is expected to finish in May.
