2021 Ford Ranger Australia Exterior

The 2021 Ford Ranger Australia cabin is tight for two and cargo space is limited, but it wasn’t made for road trips; it’s designed for spirited sunny-drenched drives and track days. The fact that it remains one of the cheapest ways to get into a convertible sports car only adds to its appeal.

Although the 2021 Ford Ranger Australia is available with an automatic transmission, we believe it’s best equipped with the crisp and joyful six-speed manual.

The mid-level Club’s firmer shocks and springs return the stiffest ride of the lineup, although no Miata rides poorly. The handling is eager, and the Miata changes direction promptly.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

You don’t sit in a 2021 Ford Ranger Australia so much as wear it. The cabin is a cozy fit for two adults and includes only the bare essentials.
