Sime Darby Auto ConneXion (SDAC), the sole distributor for Ford in Malaysia, brought the Ford Ranger Getaways off-road durian adventure to Penang on 18 June 2022 after a successful run with the Ranger/Raptor Training Experience in Sepang. Yet another special experience, this time around we are combining an off-road adventure with another Malaysian favourite - durians.
The first Ranger/Raptor Training Experience in Sepang held on 26 March 2022, was a big hit giving owners the chance to discover the full capabilities of their lifestyle and performance pickups.
Ford Ranger Getaways is a community and experiential platform designed to provide customers with a unique experience of Living the Ranger Life through a series of handpicked local adventures.
“A segment first in Malaysia where customers can make bookings via a digital platform, these specially curated outings aim to offer opportunities for customers, their friends and families to get together and build camaraderie with like-minded individuals while supporting domestic tourism that has been impacted by the pandemic,” said Turse Zuhair, Managing Director, Sime Darby Auto ConneXion-Ford.
From off-roading to a durian buffet
The two-in-one off-road course on 18 June started off at Ford Juru, Penang, where participants gathered with other Ranger owners and their companions who similarly crave adventure.
Participants headed on to Jeti Batu Musang where they will have the chance to test the limits of their Rangers across various on- and off-road courses, under the guidance of a professional driving instructor. These include water wading, jungle track driving, light rock climbing and more.
After the 4x4 experience, participants will then head on to Balik Pulau, a well-known spot for durians, to the Green Acres Orchard, which has beed booked exclusively for this getaway.
Following a short tour of the orchard, participants can kick back and savour the all-you-can-eat durian buffet and a hearty lunch.
The getaway was priced at RM976 per Ranger for a recommended maximum of 4 persons per vehicle.
An experience beyond expectation
Based on feedback from customers who attended the Ranger/Raptor Training in Sepang, the experience was more than what they had expected, especially in terms of getting acquainted with what their vehicle was capable of.
Even though the event was in Sepang, some out-of-state customers travelled all the way from Ipoh, Kuantan and Johor Bahru to participate in the training.
Designed to provide an interactive and enriching platform for Ranger and Ranger Raptor owners to realise the full limits of their lifestyle and performance pickups with like-minded individuals, the one-of-a-kind training experience offers an intensive one-day guided session with trained instructors. Modules covered include a series of tarmac and off-road driving scenarios at the Sepang International Circuit and within the district of Sepang.
