PLATINUM: FORD HAS ONCE AGAIN SET A NEW BENCHMARK IN THE BAKKIE SEGMENT

The ultimate in luxury double cab

We have bid our Ford Ranger Tremor farewell and are here to welcome to our long-term garage for the next six months, the ultimate in luxury double cab motoring, Ford's Ranger Platinum.

Ford has once again set a new benchmark in the highly competitive bakkie segment by adding what is the most luxurious and sophisticated Ranger ever in the Platinum at the top of the range alongside the most powerful Ranger ever in the Raptor.

The Ford Ranger Platinum offers sophisticated type styling with silk chrome exterior finishes, Matrix LED headlamps and 20-inch alloy wheels as standard, while the interior is characterised by premium leather trim, 10-way power adjustable heat and cooled front seats, and a 12.4-inch instrument cluster.

Getting out on the road, or off into the wilderness, comes courtesy of a silky smooth 184kW/600Nm, 3.0-litre V6 Turbodiesel married to full-time four-wheel drive that offers class-leading on and off-road control and outstanding towing ability.
