Sime Darby Auto ConneXion (SDAC) has unveiled the Ford Ranger XLT Plus Special Edition, a 300-unit limited edition of the current generation Ranger pick-up truck, which first surfaced here in 2022. The SE gets a list of matte black kit and some extra equipment, and is priced at RM143,888 on-the-road without insurance, or RM149,388 in East Malaysia.

As its name suggest, the Special Edition is based on the Ranger’s XLT Plus variant. Enhancements include chunky matte black fender flares, a matte black sports bar, matte ‘Ranger’ side decals and a matte sports decal on the truck’s hood.

Also included are LED illuminated scuff plates with the Ranger logo and pull-out cupholders below the front side air vents. The Ranger XLT Plus Special Edition can be had in two colours Meteor Grey and the Absolute Black you see here.

“The Ranger XLT Plus Special Edition truly reflects Ford’s commitment to innovation and quality. It is tailored for discerning drivers who demand the best in performance, style and functionality. This will further reinforce our role as a leader in the nation’s pick-up truck segment and our ongoing efforts to enhance the overall brand experience for our customers,” said Turse Zuhair, MD of SDAC.

The Ranger XLT Plus is powered by a 2.0-litre bi-turbo diesel engine with 210 PS and 500 Nm of torque, mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission and Ford’s Electronic Shift-On-The-Fly 4WD system. Notable equipment includes a 10.1-inch touchscreen head unit with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual-zone climate control and a digital instrument cluster.

The Ranger XLT Plus Special Edition is on display at the Ford Experience Hub at Setia City Mall, which runs from today till September 29. The first 20 customers who purchase the truck via SDAC’s online booking system will be rewarded with an RM3,000 fuel voucher. Looking for something more luxurious? That’s the Ranger Platinum. Launched in May this year, the Ranger StormTrak is the sporty one in the family.
