If an added dose of ruggedness is what you desire from your next vehicle, the Ford booth at the paultan.org Auto Car Expo (ACE) 2024 – co-sponsored by Carro and Emit Solar – is likely to pique your interest, alongside a variety of particpating brands at the Setia City Convention Centre this weekend of October 26-27.
Deals from Ford cover the Ranger XL, which starts from RM115,888 or RM1,192 monthly, which despite being the base variant, already comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Stepping up to the XLT brings a price tag of RM128,888 or RM1,325 monthly, here adding a smart climate control system with dual zones and rear vents.
At ACE 2024, both the Ranger XL and XLT are being offered with a complimentary five-year service package, or a cash rebate of RM4,000.
Rumbling in the rough would be the domain of the Ranger Raptor, which is offered in the Malaysian market with either the 210 PS/500 Nm 2.0 litre turbodiesel or the 397 PS/583 Nm 3.0 litre turbocharged petrol V6.
Key to unlocking the Ranger’s off-road performance are the Ranger Raptor’s Fox adaptive suspension, a reinforced chassis, permanent four-wheel drive, an electronically-controlled two-speed transfer case and locking front and rear diffs, while an available Baja mode activates anti-lag when traversing rough terrain at speed. Away from the public road, naturally.
Joining the petrol and diesel Ranger Raptor duo are the Ranger WildTrak and Ranger StormTrak, both also powered by the 210 PS/500 Nm 2.0L turbodiesel and paired with a 10-speed automatic.
The WildTrak sports six drive modes, leather seats and a 360 camera as standard, while the StormTrak is a 200-uni limited-run variant bringing a generous helping of black trim, in addition to a flexible sports bar, an adjustable roof rack, cargo lighting and more.
If you need seating for seven to go with all that ruggedness, the Everest is your ticket. Available in Sport, Trend, Titanium and Wildtrak flavours, it is the Sport trim variant that is on display at the Ford booth here this weekend, seen here with gloss black accents.
No matter the model or variant you choose from here, it’ll be a potent, richly equipped one. On top of the deals from the participating brands, ACE 2024 is also your best chance at scoring early access to year-end deals from various brands. On top of the brand promos, the first 200 customers to make a new car booking at ACE 2024 will receive a RM3,000 combined voucher from paultan.org.
