The Ford Ranger has been a perennial bestseller for
Ford Malaysia, and it is set to offer buyers additional options with the
inclusion of new colours for the 2.2 litre FX4 and the range-topping 3.2 litre
Wildtrak in Malaysia. The new Ranger 2.2 FX4 Cool White is priced at RM 121,888,
while the Ranger 3.2 Wildtrak Meteor Grey goes for RM 141,588 (both prices OTR
without insurance).
The 3.2 litre range-topper had also previously
received a limited-run version in the Jet Black Edition, in addition to the
standard Pride Orange and Cool White finishes. Meteor Grey was itself a colour
which was available on the FX4 at its debut.
Here, the Meteor Grey finish is complemented by
additional Wildtrak graphics along its cargo tray sides, while the FX4 adopts
unique decals and gloss black paint applied to the grille, side mirror caps and
door handles. Matte black roof rails feature as before, along with Wildtrak
side steps.
Powertrain specifications for each model remain as
before, with the 2.2 litre FX4 retaining its 2.2 litre turbodiesel four
cylinder engine with 158 hp and 385 Nm of torque, six-speed automatic
transmission with driver-selectable four-wheel drive with low range and hill
descent control. The Wildtrak stays with its 3.2 litre five-cylinder
turbodiesel as well, packing 197 hp and 470 Nm of torque, sent to a six-speed
automatic transmission and driver-selectable four-wheel drive.
Rated payload for the 3.2 litre Wildtrak is one
tonne. Equipment-wise, the Wildtrak features a SYNC 3 infotainment system with
an eight-inch touchscreen and support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Both
the 2.2L FX4 and the 3.2L Wildtrak in their respective new colours are covered
by a three-year, 100,000 km manufacturer’s warranty.
