Why is it important to service your Ford Ranger?
The Ford Ranger is one of the most well-known and popular pick-up trucks in the UK market. Driven by a 2 litre Ford powertrain, the Ford Ranger combines hybrid technology with the ability to lift and tow loads of any shape and size.
However, while the car is touch and can handle a wide range of road conditions, there are plenty of mechanical components in the car that can be at risk of damage throughout its lifetime. There are a few reasons why you should look at regular servicing for your Ford Ranger, including:
Holding as much value as possible
When it comes to trading your Ford Ranger in or selling it, you can get the most value out of it by making sure it’s serviced regularly and runs well. Mechanical issues or lack of a service history can bring the value of your car down. So, making sure you keep your vehicle serviced regularly will reduce the risk of lost value.
Save on costs
In addition to the financial benefits you will see from selling your car with a full-service history and maintenance, regularly servicing your Ford Ranger will save money over the long-term by spotting major issues before they become much worse.
For example, if your engine is starting to show signs of wear, it’s always best to have a mechanic solve the issues before these problems start to impact other components of your Ford Ranger. From low brake fluid to a faulty spark plug, finding any issues during a Ford service will prevent you from having to pay for costly repairs in the future.
Keep your car safe, road worthy and in the best condition possible
Aside from simply keeping your car in good condition, by servicing it regularly, you will ensure that your car stays safe to drive on the road. Not only will you keep your car on the road for years to come, but you’ll also have peace of mind every time you get behind the wheel.
Ford Ranger service intervals

The only factor that varies between the models is the number of miles, with older cars needing to be serviced less in terms of mileage. This is because hybrid technology has been integrated into the newer models of the Ford Ranger series, so they require servicing 10% more often to ensure that all of the different components are still working.
