Ford sets the trends with new 2.2 TDCi
The new Ford Ranger continues to set trends in the highly competitive light commercial vehicle (LCV) market and is now bolstered with the addition of nine 2.2 Duratorq TDCi models equipped with a smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transmission.
The Ranger is the first and only single cab pick-up on the local market available with an automatic transmission, adding unrivalled driving convenience to one of Southern Africa’s top-selling vehicles.
The extended Ranger line-up makes it the most comprehensive product offering in this segment with a total of 36 models now available to suit every segment of the industry, from pure workhorse applications right through to the leisure and lifestyle market.
“The Ford Ranger has been a huge success story for Ford, not only in Southern Africa, but around the world,” says Tracey Delate, General Marketing Manager, Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa (FMCSA).
“The automatic transmission option on the Ranger 3.2 has dominated sales due to its smooth operation and ease of use, combined with the superb power and torque of the Duratorq TDCi engine.
“We are delighted to now introduce this sophisticated automatic transmission to the Ranger 2.2 TDCi, providing unparalleled comfort and driving convenience, matched to the superb performance and efficiency of Ford’s latest generation Duratorq diesel engines.”
In its latest form, launched in October last year as part of the extensive update to the New Ranger, the 2.2 TDCi engine produces an impressive power output of 118kW, matched to a substantial 385Nm of torque.
This ensures superb all-round performance and fuel economy, whether used for the daily urban commute, heading out onto the open road, or tackling challenging off-road terrain.
Combined with impressive fuel consumption and 20 000km service intervals for the Duratorq TDCi engines, the 2.2 TDCi Auto guarantees low running costs and superb value for money.– Words and image Quickpic.co.za
