As you would have already read, the all new Ford Ranger was officially launched in Malaysia yesterday night in three variants – 2.2L XLT in manual and automatic form as well as the 3.2L XLT Wildtrak, all in 4X4 spec. Click here for the launch report and here for the test drive report.
The launch event at Bukit Kiara Equestrian Club had an interesting and appropriate “tough” theme – “tables” were wood panels on oil barrels and the stage backdrop was scaffolding, decorated in Stomp style. The energetic dancers were dressed to match, so it was tiny cowgirl tops and cropped jeans. The dudes? They were topless, reminding the rest of us the need to go to gym. No pics of them though – we ahem, naturally focused on the ladies!
No less interesting was the heritage display. Some might have forgotten that Ford started the urban pick-up trend in Malaysia back in the 90s. Before the Courier was launched in 1996, pick-ups were workhorses exclusively found on construction sites. After the Courier, came the Ranger, and the yellow Splash was the coolest truck in town. The round headlight Extreme edition followed in 2002. The facelifted Ranger model had a macho Hurricane edition in 2005.
A new generation Ranger was launched in 2007, featuring a five-speed auto ‘box in Malaysia for the first time. Two years later, Ford gave its truck a facelift, which not everyone liked – it wasn’t as macho as previous versions. Competition in the pick-up truck market has really heated up over the years, but with the new T6, Ford has a class leading product once again.
Enjoy the gallery, and beware of roaming bosses! :)

Too much flesh

4th gen in Malaysia… I had the 1st and 2nd gen. People though I worked for CAT because I drove the splash in Yellow. Fun color and a fun car indeed. Just that abs was not available and was always tricky when you are rushing under heavy rain…. Stunts were performed and many flowers and road signs were “dislocated”…. Hahaha
wtf…. ford gt no money 2 pay girls? y i can c some shemales there??? lol…
most of the girls look like guys…. common spend some money and get some decent chicks….
looks like some gogo bar
C,mon bro, if the chicks are good then nobody care to look at the car already.
the girls look weird…=.=
Check out the one in Pink pants. Its like a gender change operation gone awry!
ford tipuuu… in malaysia, rangers wont make you get that kind of girl lar. dreaming laa wei.
I seriously feels pity with these girls. Being used as another cheap publicity of a car launching event. We do not need girls at a car launch what more in a truck, tyres or motor oil launch! If we need girls in every automotive event in town, we are actually in serious trouble. It really does shows how we actually treat and position women in the society. Just because the rest of the world are doing this, doesn’t mean that we have to follow them. Frankly speaking, I’m getting sick of how this has been going in the industry. If showing flesh and being half-naked is a sign of modernity and world development, then animals must be the most modern and developed species of all. They’re naked.
Oh ya, afterall, didn’t the most modern country accept that we are actually from animal? Darwin theory…?
Looking at how things going, perhaps, we are now worse than animals.
Well, said! And btw, I am not gender biased or anti-women (or even anti-men for that matter), but Ford or any other carmakers should come up with better marketing or promotion that still focuses on the car than this. This is disrespectful to the ladies.
Jelek banget cewe malaysia :)
Lo pada, baru liat begini ajah heboh.
Kampungan ah..
Yo Tan.. you got pretty sharp eyes in automotive stuff but unfortunately worst taste in girls :)
Get back on track, dude! :)
All them booty shaking make me wanna test shake the truck. Where can I find nice big patches of mud in PJ ah ?
Living la vida loca ! :-D
The Toyota Roadshow also did the same thing. They put sexy girls with tight and short pants to attract people. But what happens is the opposite. What i observed most people prefer get the info from the SA and shy away from the girls. Ford and Toyota, please show some respect to all women. I love to see beautiful ladies or girls, but I hate to see the girls being insulted like this.
Is it selling cars or selling flesh, ah??
do they really need those girls to attract people to buy the car?
K-pop??
Pole dancing with no pole???
Free tiger show ka???
