Just like comparing the European Focus MK2 to the American Focus MK2 - name shared but nothing else.

I work as the maintenance coordinator for a fleet of 1000 assets, a considerable number of our utes are Rangers, but we have some Hiluxs, Colorados and Tritons as well - the Rangers are the most reliable out of all of them, as well as the ones that the drivers least complain about.

Similarly the local council has approximately 400 Rangers, a lot of them get driven quite hard - they have minimal issues.

Advert for the quality and reliability of the Ranger?

Just for reference:
