‘Built tough’ | Preloved Ford Rangers for sale
South Africa’s iconic bakkie culture is firmly entrenched in the lives of farmers, contractors, city dwellers, adventure seekers, and off-road junkies. For work and play (and navigating suburbia’s potholes), the bakkie’s popularity ranks high in the new and preloved market, with the Toyota Hilux and the Ford Ranger constantly battling it out as the top favourites.
But let’s focus on the ‘built tough’ Ford Ranger (the derivative 2.2TDCi Double Cab Hi-Rider XL being the most popular) and why this particular vehicle brand and model is so desirable among those searching, ‘preloved bakkies for sale.’
‘Built tough’ and built to last
Ford’s ongoing commitment to improving the Ranger’s features – by listening to bakkie owners – has led to design innovations that have improved durability, capability, efficiency and overall driving experience, no matter the landscape or destination. Features include Ford’s copilot360, 4×4 off-road package, alloy wheels, high-beam lights, cross-traffic alerts, automatic emergency braking system, 4WD, and full-leather steering wheel etc. (Do we need to go on)? Simply search our preloved Ford Rangers for sale and see for yourself.
‘Built tough’ and built for heavy lifting
With a payload of up to 1 135kg and a towing capability of up to 3500kg (that’s 3 ½ tonnes!), the Ford Ranger’s multipurpose versatility is unsurpassed. It’s no wonder that preloved Ford Rangers are so popular to get any job done.
‘Built tough’ and built to go the distance
South Africa’s diverse terrains demand resilience and a rugged vehicle to match. Built to conquer the untamed beauty of our country, new and preloved Ford Rangers continue to stand tall, showcasing their durability and proving that when it comes to odometer readings, age is just a number.
‘Built tough’ and built to be economical
In the past, bakkies haven’t been the most economical vehicles, but thanks to a modern turbodiesel engine and a 10-speed automatic transmission gearbox, the Ford Ranger ticks this box. With an average fuel consumption of 6.8 litres/100km, it beats its Toyota, Mitsubishi, Nissan and Mahindra rivals. This makes a preloved Ford Ranger a savvy financial choice for second-hand bakkie buyers.
‘Built tough’ and built to serve
As an automotive brand that has been manufacturing bakkies and cars in South Africa since 1923, Ford’s reputation, as a customer-centric brand with an excellent after-sales service offering, makes investing in a second-hand Ranger a really smart choice.
