Meet the used Ford Ranger - Ford's tough, refined pickup, blending one tonne payload, strong towing and 4x4 confidence with a car-like cabin, modern tech and real comfort; ideal for trades, towing or weekend adventures. Backed by Vertu checks, 14 day money-back guarantee and flexible finance, Find your next used Ford Ranger today.
A used Ford Ranger is one of the most capable and popular pick-ups on sale, a truck that pairs strong working ability with car-like cabin comfort. Its double-cab body seats five, tows up to 3,500kg braked and backs it all with rugged four-wheel-drive underpinnings.
Buying used means someone else has already absorbed the steepest depreciation, so more of your budget goes into a higher grade or lower-mileage truck. The Ranger's huge popularity means a wide spread of used stock across grades and a well-established parts and servicing network.
Where a manufacturer warranty is still in place, that cover transfers to you as the new owner, and Vertu's own checks add a further layer of reassurance before any Ranger reaches the forecourt. For buyers who need a workhorse that doubles as a family vehicle, a used Ranger is a compelling choice.
Yes, a used Ford Ranger is a strong buy for anyone needing towing muscle, load capacity and all-weather capability in one vehicle. Its headline 3,500kg braked towing capacity and payload of over a tonne make it a genuine working truck, while the double-cab layout keeps it practical for families too.
Engine choice is central to the decision. The 3.0-litre V6 EcoBlue diesel offers effortless pulling power for heavy towing and long distances, while the 2.3 EcoBoost plug-in hybrid pairs petrol and electric power for up to 44.84mpg and around 26 miles of electric range, useful for lower running costs and company-car tax.
Both drive through a 10-speed automatic gearbox and full-time four-wheel drive. Every used Ranger sold by Vertu is checked before it reaches the forecourt as part of our used car preparation process, covering no outstanding finance, no history as a taxi, and no salvage or write-off record.
Four kinds of buyer get the most from a used Ford Ranger, each suited to a different grade or powertrain in the range.
| Buyer Type | Why the Ranger Fits |
|---|---|
| Tradespeople and heavy towers | A 3,500kg braked towing capacity and payload over a tonne make the Ranger a genuine workhorse for trailers, plant and site equipment. |
| High-mileage and long-distance drivers | The 3.0-litre V6 EcoBlue diesel offers relaxed, torque-rich cruising and strong pulling power for those covering big distances or towing regularly. |
| Company-car drivers watching running costs | The 2.3 EcoBoost plug-in hybrid returns up to 44.84mpg with around 26 miles of electric range, keeping fuel and tax costs down. |
| Families wanting a truck that does it all | The double-cab body seats five, and higher grades such as Wildtrak and Platinum add leather, heated seats and a 12-inch touchscreen. |
Owning a used Ford Ranger blends working capability with everyday comfort more successfully than most pick-ups. Higher grades feel closer to an SUV inside, with a large portrait touchscreen, digital instruments and quality materials, while the underpinnings stay tough enough for serious work.
The load bed is designed around real-world use, with tie-down points, available bed liners and a tailgate rated to hold significant weight. A wide choice of factory styling packs and canopies means used trucks vary considerably in specification, so it is worth checking what a specific Ranger carries.
Technology on higher grades includes a 12-inch central display with SYNC and connected navigation, plus driver-assistance features such as adaptive cruise control and a 360 degrees camera on top trims. When a used Ranger reaches Vertu, it is inspected and prepared by our technicians before sale, and keeping it serviced through Vertu's Ford-trained colleagues helps protect any remaining manufacturer warranty.

The used Ford Ranger double cab is offered with two very different powertrains, so the right one depends on whether you prioritise towing and distance or running costs and tax. Both drive through a 10-speed automatic gearbox and full-time four-wheel drive.
The 3.0-litre V6 EcoBlue diesel produces 240PS and is the choice for effortless towing and long-haul work. The 2.3 EcoBoost plug-in hybrid produces 281PS and adds electric-only running for lower emissions and fuel costs. The table below sets out both from the 2027 model-year price list.
| Specification | 3.0 V6 EcoBlue Diesel | 2.3 EcoBoost PHEV |

The Ford Ranger double cab can tow up to 3,500kg braked, whether fitted with the 3.0 V6 EcoBlue diesel or the 2.3 EcoBoost plug-in hybrid. That makes it one of the most capable pick-ups for hauling trailers, plant, horseboxes or caravans.
Towing capacity on older used Rangers can vary by engine and specification, so confirm the figure for a specific vehicle before buying.
The current Ranger double cab is offered with a 3.0-litre V6 EcoBlue diesel producing 240PS, or a 2.3 EcoBoost plug-in hybrid producing 281PS. Both drive through a 10-speed automatic gearbox and full-time four-wheel drive. Older used Rangers were also offered with 2.0-litre EcoBlue diesel engines.
The diesel suits heavy towing and long distances, while the plug-in hybrid offers lower running costs and electric-only running for shorter trips.
Yes. The Ford Ranger 2.3 EcoBoost plug-in hybrid offers up to 26 miles of electric-only range on the WLTP cycle, drawn from a battery that recharges from the mains. That covers many shorter local journeys with zero tailpipe emissions whilst driving before the petrol engine assists.
On longer trips it works as a conventional hybrid, and it returns up to 44.84mpg on the weighted WLTP combined cycle.
Yes. In double-cab form the Ranger seats five and, in higher grades such as Wildtrak and Platinum, offers a cabin that feels close to an SUV, with a 12-inch touchscreen, leather and heated seats. It pairs that comfort with genuine load and towing ability.
As a pick-up it is subject to commercial-vehicle speed limits on some UK roads, which is worth bearing in mind for family use.
Wildtrak tends to offer the strongest all-round balance on the used market, adding power seats, upgraded displays, LED lighting and adaptive cruise control over XLT and Limited while stopping short of Platinum's premium extras. It is also one of the most common grades, so choice is good.
Buyers wanting the most luxurious cabin should seek out a used Platinum, while the MS-RT is the sports-styled flagship for those after a distinctive look.
Every used Ford Ranger sold by Vertu is checked before it reaches the forecourt. That means confirmed free of outstanding finance and free of any salvage or write-off history, alongside a full mechanical inspection.
That preparation also covers bodywork and wheel refurbishment, interior repairs where needed, and a minimum of six months or 6,000 miles before the next service or MOT is due. Full details are in our used car preparation policy.
