Sime Darby Auto ConneXion (SDAC), the sole distributor for Ford in Malaysia, revealed two new Ford models, the top-spec Ranger Platinum, and expanding the Ford Ranger line-up.
The New Ranger Platinum takes the Pick-Up to new heights, combining the capability and versatility of Ranger with unique styling and premium features for customers who value outstanding comfort and generous specification to support their active lifestyle and family needs.
New Ranger Platinum is available exclusively in double cab specification and is powered by Ford’s 2.0L Bi Turbo diesel engine, producing 210 PS and 500 Nm of torque. Power is delivered through the Ranger’s electronically controlled part-time four-wheel drive system, combined with 10-speed automatic transmission and an e-Shifter.
Smart on the outside
Key exterior enhancements include a unique grille, 20-inch alloy wheels (First-in-Ranger), ‘Platinum’ hood badging, Silk Chrome trims, Matrix LED headlamps (First-in-class, Best-in-class), a dampened tailgate which makes lowering the tailgate effortless, and Ford’s ingenious Flexible Rack System (First-in-class), Swing-in-Place Roof-Rails and Power Roller Shutter. New Ranger Platinum will also be available in the Equinox Bronze paint colour4, previously available only on Everest.
Smart on the inside
New Ranger Platinum boasts premium appointments, like quilted leather accented seats and a 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster, 12-inch infotainment screen with the latest SYNC®4A, B&O speakers, ambient lighting, E-Shifter and Active Park Assist 2.0. The front seats are heated and ventilated (First-in-class) with 10-way power adjust and with memory function for the driver (First-in-class), while the digital instrument cluster and decorative finishes add to the sense of opulence when you get behind the wheel.
New Ranger Platinum sets itself apart from other Ranger variants with its Everest-inspired dashboard which features a closed shelf and upper glovebox, while badging on front seats and floor mats round out the interior enhancements.
“From the high-quality leather accented seats to the Everest-inspired dashboard, the Ranger Platinum oozes refinement,” said Nick Eterovic, Chief Interior Designer, Ford Ranger.
Built for work, family, and play
New Ranger Platinum is every bit as versatile as its siblings. It will come with Ford’s Flexible Rack System, a sliding sport bar that is adjustable to fit longer items.
The roof racks feature roof rails that swing across the roof when needed, can be adjusted to two different lengths, and then stored away in the roof rails when not being used. The clever Flexible Rack System can be operated by one person and locks into five different positions along the length of the load box. A pop-up crossbar increases the height of the loading platform to match the Swing-in-Place Roof Rails.
“The Flexible Rack System has been tested to the same durability standards as Next-Gen Ranger itself and redefines how customers can use their Ranger for work, family, or play. It’s just another example of Ford’s unlimited thinking,” said Nik Tribhuvan, senior engineer, Special Vehicle Engineering.
