Ford Ranger - 13,292 registrations

The fourth and final Ford to enter the best-sellers of 2016 is the Ford Ranger. Given how popular pick-ups were in 2016 it perhaps shouldn’t be any surprise to see one break into the top 10. The rugged Ranger is a formidable workhorse, with a 1.2 tonne payload and 3.5 tonne towing limit. It’s four-wheel drive system is also excellent, allowing the rugged Ford to quite literally go anywhere.
