A Quick Introduction to the Ford Ranger

-

Blue Ford Ranger



2011 was a great year. Why? It was the resurrection of the Ranger. This is the year the Ranger was gifted the macho, muscular styling look. Since this upgrade, the Ford Ranger has enjoyed fantastic levels of success and respect from the Bakkie loving public of South Africa. Thousands of South African business have chosen the Ford Ranger to be part of their business, and we're proud to be apart of it.


The millions of kilometres we travel together, helping you reach your goals and most of all, employing the people of South Africa. The Ford Ranger will be around for many years to come, which is what makes the Ranger the best choice and easy to resell when time to upgrade. Ranger bakkies fetch a good price when it's time to trade-in or sell.


More than a Bakkie

The more expensive Rangers have tastefully trimmed cabs which can comfortably take a family on any holiday. All 4X4 Rangers have lockable rear diff and go quite well off-road for something so well spec'ed and good to look at. I don't know about you but something that looks this good shouldn't do so well off-road but the Ranger holds it's own. You're better off spending the extra on Ranger accessories to make just about any off-road adventure one to remember. The more you look at it the more you understand why so many people choose the Ranger over the stiff bakkie competition in South Africa. So of the other locally made bakkies are great but they're no match for the Ford Ranger in most departments. People of South Africa, we should be proud our locally made Ford Ranger is exported throughout the world further driving the stamp of a quality bakkie wanted around the globe.

It also features a first-in-class electronically controlled active exhaust system for a wide range of mellow to ferocious exhaust notes.
