Izimfihlo ze-backstory zango-2022 zeFord Ranger: Kungani imbangi yeToyota HiLux kanye nemoto yakamuva evamile yase-Australia iyintsha kakhulu kunokuba besicabanga

Ngaphandle kokulinganisa okufanayo kanye nesitayela seFord Ranger ephumayo, i-2022 T6.2 ingumshini oklanywe kabusha ngokuphelele.

Imoto ephumelela kakhulu eyake yaklanywa futhi yathuthukiswa e-Australia, i-Ford T6 Ranger izobona ushintsho lwayo olukhulu kakhulu phakathi neminyaka eyishumi lapho izincwadi zama-oda zigcina zivulwa esikhathini esithile engxenyeni yesibili ka-2022, ngaphambi kokulethwa maphakathi nonyaka. .

Ngokukanjiniyela omkhulu we-T6 u-Ian Foston, iphrojekthi ye-P703 ingaphezu nje kwesikhumba esenziwe kabusha, ideshibhodi efakwe isitayela kabusha kanye nenjini yokuzikhethela engu-V6 efihlwe ngaphansi kwe-hood njengochungechunge lwe-F.

“Cishe sekunezingxenye ezimbalwa kule moto ongathi ziyafana nezangaphambili,” usho kanje. "Kunezinto eziningi mayelana neRanger yamanje ezinhle ngempela, njengezilinganiso, ibhalansi yengilazi nensimbi ngokubonakala ... ukulungiswa kuyo yonke indawo ukuze siyenze ijabulise ngayo yonke indlela... kithina, cishe yonke imininingwane kule moto isilungiswe kabusha noma yashintshwa.”

Uhlelo lwaqala ngo-2015, ngemva nje kokwethulwa emhlabeni wonke kodade iSUV Everest, ngakho kwathatha cishe iminyaka eyisikhombisa ukwakhiwa. Kusukela ekuqaleni, uthathwa njengesizukulwane esilandelayo iRanger, Raptor ne-Everest, kanye neBronco, okungenzeka noma ingaze ifike e-Australia. Ukuthuthukiswa kwe-T6.2 Ranger kuqale ngo-2017.

Kuze kube manje, abakwaFord abakayidaluli imininingwane eminingi ebalulekile mayelana ne-2022 Ranger, okuhlanganisa ubukhulu obuqondile, umthwalo okhokhelwayo, isisindo, amandla enjini, izibalo zokusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli, izici ezithile zokuphepha, amazinga emishini, amanani kanye nolunye ulwazi.

Ukukhiqizwa kuzoqala eThailand naseNingizimu Afrika (okudlala indima enkulu njengoba kusanda kwenziwa ukulungiswa kabusha kwezitshalo ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukusebenza kahle nezinga eliphezulu) ekuqaleni konyaka ozayo, nakuba kukhona okungakadalulwa.

Ngakho, ngezinto eziningi ezintsha, kungani ungasebenzisi i-T7 esikhundleni se-T6.2? UMnu Foston uthe ngokwezakhiwo i-Ranger isafana neyangaphambili - umzimba ohlakeni, umzimba unamathiselwe ngendlela efanayo futhi usebenzisa ubuchwepheshe obufanayo. Uma iFord yayizoba ucezu olulodwa noma ishintshe kakhulu indawo yomshayeli, lokhu kuzodinga ukuguqulwa okuphelele kwesikhulumi. Kuya ngokuthi izinto zenziwa kanjani.

Ngakho-ke, iningi lezingxenye eziyinhloko zomzimba kanye ne-chassis ye-Ranger azishintshi - indawo kanye ne-angle ye-windshield, uphahla, ukuvuleka kweminyango yangaphambili, indawo yokuhlala, iwindi elingemuva nendawo ye-trunk - kanye nobukhulu obuphelele, okusho ukuthi ngaphakathi, I-Ford kuze kube yimanje isayihlukanisa njengengxenye ye-T6. Ikakhulukazi njengoba iFord Australia iseyisigaba sezimoto emhlabeni wonke.

Ukuze uqonde ukuthi yini eholele kuleli zinga loshintsho ukusuka ku-Ranger yanamuhla kuya ku-T6.2 entsha, udinga ukuphendukela esifundweni somlando - owaziwa kancane futhi omuhle kakhulu!

I-Ranger ihlanganisa i-XL, i-XLS, i-XLT, i-Sport ne-Wildtrak.

Ngenkathi iFord Australia yethula uhlelo lwe-T6 ngonyaka ka-2007 ngaphambi kokwethulwa kwayo ngo-2011, kwakungahlosiwe ukuthi kube iloli langempela lomhlaba eliphakathi nendawo elithengiswa emazweni angu-180 (amaningi emhlabeni wakwaFord) njengoba kunjalo namuhla. INyakatho Melika ngokusobala ayizange ifakwe ohlelweni lokuqala. Kodwa-ke, lokhu kwashintsha ngeminyaka yawo-2010, okudinga ukuklanywa kabusha okukhulu empilweni yemodeli ekhona ukuze ikwazi ukusebenzisa izinjini ezihlukahlukene zikaphethiloli nodizili ezidingekayo eMelika, kanye nezinye izitayela zomzimba, okuyi-Everest (2016) kanye ne-Raptor offshoots ( 2018) zithengiswa yonke indawo, kufaka phakathi e-Australia.

Lokhu kuholele ekuthuthukisweni kwamaplathifomu amabili ahlukene e-T6: uhlaka lokuqala lwesiqephu esisodwa sesizukulwane sokuqala esisebenzele wonke ama-Ranger kuze kube manje (kuze kube ngu-2022) (akenziwanga e-US), kanye nohlaka olusha lwesizukulwane sesibili olunezingcezu ezintathu olwakhiwe. ye-Everest, Raptor kanye nemakethe yamanje. I-US Ranger kuphela.  

Uhlaka oluwucezu olulodwa lunokugxiviza okukodwa ngaphambili nangemuva ukwenza isigaba se-boxy chassis, futhi luyisixazululo esinomnotho (funda: esishibhile) esisetshenziswa amaloli amaningi. Kodwa ayikuvumeli ukuhlukahluka okuningi. Lokho kwashintsha nge-Everest ka-2015 lapho iplathifomu ye-T6 ishintsha yaba uhlaka lweziqephu ezi-XNUMX ezinebhande elisha langaphambili ukuze likwazi ukuthwala amamotho ahlukene, i-scalable mid nangemuva ngekhoyili entsha ye-Everest/Raptor. -entwasahlobo, kanye nokumiswa kwangemuva kwentwasahlobo. Lokhu kukuvumela ukuthi ushintshe i-suspension ngemuva, i-wheelbase eshintshwayo phakathi nendawo kanye nokushintshashintsha kwenjini ngaphambili. 

Isitayela sibonisa iloli lamanje le-Ford F-series enosayizi ogcwele waseNyakatho Melika.

I-2022 Ranger 6.2 iyisizukulwane sesithathu, uhlaka lweziqephu ezintathu olwakhiwe eduze kweRanger yemakethe yaseMelika, kodwa futhi luhluke kakhulu kuyo, ingxenye ngayinye nephaneli inenombolo yokufa ehlukile, ngokusho kukaMnu Foston.

“I-Off platform, kuqalwa nge-third generation T6, zonke izimoto zizoba ngama-multi-part bese uhlaka luzoba izingxenye ezintathu,” usho kanje. "I-chassis yakhiwe kabusha ngokuphelele kusukela phansi - yonke into yintsha."

Ukukufingqa, ngaphandle kwesitayela, ushintsho olukhulu kube ubukhulu be-T6.2: i-wheelbase namathrekhi kunyuke ngo-50mm lilinye ukuze kuthathelwe izinhlobo ze-V6 ezihlelelwe iRanger nezinye izinhlobo, okuhlanganisa no-3.0-litre oqinisekisiwe. injini ye-turbodiesel. kubhulokhi ye-F-150 eyethulwe eMelika ngo-2018, kanye nenjini kaphethiloli engu-2.7-litre twin-turbocharged EcoBoost elindeleke e-Australia kamuva.

Ngakho-ke, konke okuphambi kwe-firewall yenjini kusha, okudinga ukuguqulwa kwesakhiwo se-hydroformed. Ayigcini nje ngokuqukatha i-drivetrain elingana no-V6, kuthiwa ishintsha kakhulu iRanger uma isendleleni nangaphandle komgwaqo futhi ivumela amasondo amakhulu.

Iplatifomu isiklanywe kabusha yaba ne-wheelbase engu-50mm ubude namathrekhi angu-50mm ububanzi.

Isiteringi isizukulwane esilandelayo se-electronic rack and pinion system okuthiwa kulula ukusilawula, sinezindlela ezikhethwayo ezihambisana nokuthandwa komshayeli, kodwa alukho ushintsho esilinganisweni segiya lesisekelo kunangaphambili.

Ububanzi obukhulisiwe busho ukumiswa okuzimele okudizayinwe kabusha kwe- wishbone coil-spring nge-geometry entsha, kuyilapho futhi ihambisa ama-dammper ngaphandle kakhulu kunangaphambili ukuze kube nobubanzi bokushuna obungcono kanye nokugibela okunethezekile.

“Kuhlukile,” kusho uMnu. Foston. "Amakhoyili, ama-dampers, izingalo ezilawulayo eziphansi, izingalo ezilawulayo eziphezulu, izinsimbi zokuqondisa ... i-geometry, yonke into."

Ukucaciswa kwe-ekseli nakho kunyusiwe ngebanga elibanzi lamathuba kumamodeli we-4x4, ngendlela ethuthukisiwe yama-engeli okusuka kanye ne-engeli "encane" ehlukile (okungukuthi, embi kakhulu) ehlukanayo. AbakwaFord abakazikhiphi lezo zinombolo.

I-Ranger ka-2022 kuthiwa ingcono nge-aerodynamic.

Izakhiwo zokupholisa nazo zishintshe kakhulu ngenxa yesakhiwo se-hydroformed. Ingaphambili le-bluff lisho iqoqo elikhulu lamaradiyetha angafakwa, okuvumela ukupholisa kwenjini okungcono nokusebenza kahle kwesimo somoya, ikakhulukazi ngaphansi komthwalo noma ezimeni ezishisayo kakhulu. Kuze kube manje, kukhona futhi "abalandeli baka-elekthronikhi" abathuthukiswe kusukela ku-North American Ranger yamanje, ngokupholisa komoya okuphoqelekile ezimweni zokukhasa ngesivinini esiphansi.

"Bahlinzeka ngokugeleza komoya okufanele ngisho nezinsiza ezifakiwe," kusho uFoston, ebhekise kumawintshi, imishayo ephezulu, ama-roll bar nezinye izinto ezingemuva kwemakethe abanikazi abazifakayo ezimotweni zabo. Ngenxa yalokho, inkampani yase-Australia i-ARB yasebenza nabakwaFord ukuze bakhe izakhi ze-aerodynamic. 

Olunye ushintsho lwenziwe eminyango - inesimo esifanayo kodwa inamaphrofayili ahlukene, izitembu nezinsimbi, izigxivizo nokusebenza kwangaphakathi, kanti ezingemuva zivuleke kakhulu kunangaphambili ukuze kungeneke kalula ngaphakathi.

Ngemuva, i-suspension yangemuva inama-spring amaqabunga amasha, amane ohlangothini ngalunye. AbakwaFord abakaze bakhulume ngokumiswa kwangemuva kweRaptor entwasahlobo.

I-T6.2 inohlelo olusha lwe-elekthronikhi oludonsa ngawo wonke amasondo uma iceliwe.

Njengoba sekutholakala amabhuleki ediski angamasondo amane kwezinye izinhlobo (inguqulo yase-US ye-T6 yamanje inawo kusukela yethulwa ngo-2019), uMnu Foston uthe lokhu kungenxa yezicelo zamakhasimende, evuma ukuthi ukuhlelwa kwe-disc/disc kunikeza ukubhuleka okungcono. ukusebenza. Yiziphi izinhlobo ezizothola lokho okuzokwaziwa futhi eduze nosuku lokwethulwa kwe-T6.2.

Olunye uguquko oluthuthukisa ukusebenza kwe-T6.2 emgwaqweni nangaphandle komgwaqo wuhlelo olusha lwe-electronic all-wheel drive system. Idonsa ngamasondo amane (4A) edonsa ngamasondo angaphambili noma angemuva ashintshashintshayo ukuze ukwazi ukushayela umgwaqo omkhulu ukuzethemba lapho kudingeka khona ukuthi idonse, kanjalo nezindlela eziyisithupha zokushayela njengeRaptor yamanje. Lesi esinye isengezo esisha ku-Ranger e-Australia, kodwa senzelwe izilinganiso eziphezulu kuphela.

Izinguqulo ezishibhile zizonamathela ekusetheni okujwayelekile kwetoho le-4×4, okunikeza i-4×2 (idrayivu engemuva kwamasondo), 4×4 Ibanga eliphansi, kanye ne-4×4 High Range. Njengoba isasuka kuthrekhi eshayiwe, manje sekunamahhuku okubuyisela amabili akhelwe ngaphambili futhi abekwe agqama kakhulu ukuze asetshenziswe ngokunethezeka.

I-ute bed manje isiklanywe kabusha ngokuphelele.

URob Hugo, inhloko ye-T6 Dynamic Experience kwaFord, uthe iRanger entsha ihlolwe kakhulu emakhazeni ase-Europe, New Zealand, Canada naseNyakatho Melika futhi isike yahlolwa emifuleni kokubili ukuya phambili nokuhlehla ukuze ikhombise kangcono ukusetshenziswa komnikazi. . . Lokhu kungaphezu kokuhlolwa ogwadule e-Afrika, e-Australia nase-US.

Ekhuluma ngethuluzi lokuhweba, umbhede we-ute manje usuhlelwe kabusha ngokuphelele ngokunyuka kwe-track ngo-50mm ukuze uvumele i-palette evamile. Uhlaka lombhede manje selubunjiwe, lunezihlukanisi ezisebenzayo zokuvumela abaholi bendabuko ukuthi bazenzele okwabo ukwahlukanisa. Amaphoyinti okukhweza atholakala ngokukhetha kumareyili angaphandle kusetshenziswa ojantshi bensimbi obuyi-tubular esindayo, indawo ephezulu yomzimba ophansi ivaliwe (efana ne-US Ranger yamanje) enezivalo ezihoxiswayo ukuze zilayishe kalula izisetshenziswa. Manje isidayisiwe kangcono, ukuze abasebenzisi bakwazi ukuthwala imithwalo eminingi futhi basebenzise idome kalula.

Futhi, sibonga idrayivu ye-T6.2 yokuba ihhashi lokusebenza, i-tailgate ebuyekeziwe inamaphakethe wokunamathisela emikhawulweni yomibili kanye ne-outlet eyengeziwe engu-240W. Kwafakwa izibani ngaphansi kwamareyili, futhi kwafakwa ukukhanya kwezone engu-360-degree eduze neloli, kanye nokukhanya kwe-puddle ezibukweni zangaphandle ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukubonakala ebusuku. Kuyasiza futhi ukushintsha amathayi ebumnyameni.

I-tailgate eyenziwe kabusha inebhentshi lokusebenza elakhelwe ngaphakathi.

AbakwaFord bayavuma ukuthi iningi labaqhudelana nalo selihloliwe okubalwa iToyota HiLux neVolkswagen Amarok ephumayo, okuvele ukuthi indawo yayo izoshintshwa kancane iT6.2, nakuba abakwaFord sebeyivale ngokuphelele yonke imibuzo mayelana nemoto yohlobo lwaseGermany.

Inselele enkulu kwaba ukuzuza ububanzi bekhono elidingekayo kusukela elolini elingu-4×2 ukuya ekukhiqizeni i-4×4 SUV.

“Umkhawulokudonsa (odingekayo) ubuyinselelo enkulu,” kusho uFoston. 

“Ucabanga ngomkhawulokudonsa odingekayo ku-Everest, okuwumkhiqizo wethu ophambili, kanokusho futhi okahle kakhulu, kusukela kuRanger Single Cab Low-Rider kuya kuBronco kanye nemikhiqizo yeFord Performance nayo eza kule nkundla. Sikwenza kanjani konke lokhu futhi empeleni sandise amakhono epulatifomu ... indlela yokulinganisa kahle? Bekuyinselelo kimina ukuzuza konke lokhu.

“Futhi ngicabanga ukuthi sikwenzile. Futhi ukwenze kuzo zonke izimakethe esithengisa kuzo, kuzo zonke izimakethe eziyi-180, ngaphandle kwendawo eyodwa? Ngicabanga ukuthi iqembu lenze umsebenzi omangalisayo.

"Sithathe obekukhona uRanger saphuma sathi sifuna ukuthuthukisa."
