Utes Top the Sales Charts

By Lance Manins | Driveline | 9 February 2023 | Posted in News

AA’s Dec-2022 industry update says Ford Ranger was the #1 selling light commercial and overall top selling vehicle for the 2022 calendar year.

No wonder Ford Ranger was AA Driven New Zealand Car of the Year in 2022.

Ford Ranger also cleaned up the sales stats in the final month of the year, being both the number one selling light commercial and overall top selling vehicle for the month of December 2022.

Light commercial vehicles (mainly vans and utes) and SUVs made up 78% of all vehicle sales last year, while passenger vehicles (cars) accounted for 17% according to MIA stats.

That lines up exactly with what we are seeing from our clients, with 8 in 10 vehicles we financed last year being utes and SUVs.

Ford Ranger is currently top of the list when it comes to the most requested quote here at Driveline, so this week’s super special to kick February off is the new 2023 Ford Ranger XL 2.0L Bi-Turbo Diesel Double Cab Ute with 10-speed automatic and part-time 4×4 starting from $750 per month (normally starts at $859) +GST and including the Clean Car Tax and On Road Costs.

Stock levels have picked up so give the team a call on 0800 275-374 to get a formal quote sorted with any options you’d like to look at, including canopies, tow bars, roof racks, etc. Or fire a message through to your account manager.

See our Ford Ranger page for details and full T&Cs. While you’re there, check out our new UTE CONFIGURATOR. Launch the configurator to see how you can enhance your new ute with custom options – ute lids, tray accessories, flares, body kits, sports bars, light bars, custom grilles, leather seats, sports steering wheels, and more!
