SDAC teases new Ford Ranger Wildtrak in Malaysia; Is this a facelift or a special run-out model? 01

While our neighbours welcome the all-new generation, Sime Darby Auto ConneXion (SDAC) is only just teasing the arrival of the new 2022 Ford Ranger facelift to our shores.

The Ford Ranger facelift was launched a year ago in Thailand featuring a new trapezoidal front grille, black alloy wheels, and black trim pieces. The truck bed also adds a power roller shutter that will neatly cover up the pick-up’s bed.

googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1685525140735-0'); });

Other than that, the Ranger facelift will remain largely the same as it carries forward the same 2.0-litre Bi-Turbo engine that delivers 213 PS and 500 Nm. The engine is still mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission.

Safety equipment is also unchanged with offerings like AEB with vehicle and pedestrian detection, Forward Collision Warning, and Lane Departure Warning and Assist.

There isn’t a time in memory that doesn’t involve staring at cars. After discovering the excitement of watching Schumacher vs Hakkinen, Formula 1 became a major part of life. The love for cars and F1 ultimately led to a job with CAR Magazine. The untimely death of the magazine meant a hiatus from cars at lifestyle women’s magazine Marie Claire before another opportunity came knocking again.
