Ford continues to improve its rugged Troller T4
off-roader in Brazil, with the automaker applying new updates to the 2020
model. The improvements are only aesthetic, as the Troller T4 introduces new
combinations of exterior and interior colors, as well as new wheels. On the
outside, the Ranger-based off-roader gains a new Dark London Gray highlight
color which is applied to the front grille, bumpers, fender trim pieces, mirror
caps, roof (including the spoiler), and trunk lid.
The new highlight color provides a striking contrast
to the six available body colors, especially the solid Dakar Yellow shown in
these photos. The other paints in the catalog are solid Arizona Red and Diamond
White, metallic Silver Frost, as well as pearl-effect Maragogi Green and Moscow
Gray. Further contrast is provided by the 17-inch alloy wheels painted Ebony
Black.
The Dark London Gray accent color finds its way into
the cabin as well and is featured on the dashboard, center console, side
armrests, and loudspeaker frames. Standard equipment includes dual-zone air
conditioning, JBL Harman Smart CarDrive multimedia system with 6.75-inch screen
and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, power windows and mirrors,
trip computer, alarm, split rear seats, and a waterproof interior, among other
things.
Nothing changes under the skin as the Troller T4
continues to be built on a tubular metal frame, featuring a fiberglass
composite bodywork. Power comes from the same 3.2-liter Duratorq five-cylinder
turbo diesel rated at 200 PS and 470 Nm of torque. The
engine is mated to a six-speed manual transmission connected to a 4×4 system
that offers 4×2, 4×4 Low, and 4×4 High modes — the latter only up to a speed of
120 km/h.
As a serious off-roading machine, the T4 also packs
a self-locking rear differential with Trac-Lock system, mixed-use tires,
integrated crankcase and sidewall protector, double-glazed sunroof, a snorkel
intake, and sealed LED taillights, among other things.
Prices for the 2020 Troller T4 start at 140,900
Brazilian Real, which is about US$ 34,130 in U.S. currency. Too bad this rugged
SUV is not available outside Brazil.
