There is a lot of excitement surrounding Ford’s comeback in India. Recently, a new-generation Ford Everest was spotted on the roads near Chennai, causing a sensation on the internet. Adding to the buzz, another Ford car, the Ranger Pickup, was seen in the same location, creating even more anticipation. The Ford Ranger Pickup is eagerly anticipated in the Indian market, having already gained popularity globally.
The big question remains whether Ford will launch the Ranger Pickup in India. It it happens, the current-generation Ranger, already a hit worldwide, would be brand new for the Indian market. Ford unveiled the fourth-generation pickup in November 2021, and the model spotted in India looks like the same.
