  • New Ranger and Everest feature new distinctive design elements across the line-up with an exciting new color, Snow Flake White Pearl
  • The 2.0-liter engine has been further engineered with upgrades and comes with Ford 10-Year Driveline Care Program that covers the vehicle’s driveline components to 10 years or 150,000 km, whichever occurs first
  • New ‘Live the Ranger Life’ brand campaign celebrates Ranger customers’ inner strengths and individualities
  • Ford continues to deliver unparalleled ownership experience with a series of new services
BANGKOK, Thailand, 5 November 2020 – Ford Thailand today launched the new Ranger and Everest – a freshened line-up that combines new distinctive design elements, enhanced powertrain, safety and convenience features and new exciting colors.
“With the new Ranger and Everest, Ford once again continues to underline its product leadership in Thailand. The new vehicles celebrate individuality and inspiring lifestyles – unique to our Ford customers,” said Wichit Wongwattanakan, managing director, Ford Thailand.
Reflecting the unmatched capability of the Ranger, Ford introduced its new ‘Live the Ranger Life’ brand campaign at the launch. ‘Live the Ranger Life’ both highlights and celebrates the many ways that the renowned strength and engineering capabilities of the Ranger reflects and support its customers’ personal goals and drive in life, based on five core values:
  • Up and Over — There’s no challenge we don’t tackle head on. When we see a mountain range we want to go over, not around. This is true of our truck, users, Ford and partners.
  • Can’t Help But Help — We are doers. We pitch in. When people need help or assistance we’re always there. On the building site, helping friends or loved ones, or our dealers within their local communities.
  • Where There Isn’t a Path, Carve One — We are the truck that redefined the category. We don’t wait for others to lead. We have a vision and objective and we’re fearless in what we need to do to achieve our goals.
  • Bring Others Along the Journey — It’s great to work hard and achieve recognition, but even better to share it with those who mean the most - our family and friends.
  • We Make Our Own Fun — There’s no such thing as all work and no play. And when it’s time to play, we know how to make the most of those opportunities. Our truck is awesome and fun to drive.
“Understanding our customers from the inside out enables Ford to deliver the right products and services that truly meet their needs. The new models with refreshed designs build on Ford’s growing popularity among Thais. This is also to offer vehicles that best reflect our customers’ individualities as we value their continued support for Ford brand,” added Wichit.
Ranger’s fresh face
A perfect enabler for a wide range of customer work and lifestyles, the new Ranger features a bold new look and outstanding features to the line-up including
  • A new eye-catching trapezoidal shape grille on the XL, XL Street, XL+, XLT and Wildtrak variants to convey a sense of power and performance
  • Stunning black alloy wheels and side mirrors on the XL+ Sport, XL Street, XLT and Wildtrak to accentuate the vehicle’s tough look
  • Sporty black door handles on the XL+ Sport, XLT and Wildtrak
  • A new load compartment accessory, Power Roller Shutter, exclusively on the new Ranger Wildtrak
A new Ranger XL Street variant made its debut for fearless spirits to hit the beaten track. The daring open cab boasts sleek elements that convey a sense of pure performance, including athletic stripe graphics designed by Ford design team in Australia who were inspired by Ford Thailand Racing (FTR). The Ranger XL Street is equipped with Ford’s proven 2.2L diesel engine coupled with a six-speed manual transmission to deliver outstanding performance and strong capabilities. The Ranger XL Street is available in four colors: Lightning Blue, Aluminum Metallic, Arctic White and Absolut Black.
Everest’s refinement
Taking the popular mid-size SUV to the next level, the new Everest continues to fulfil its role as a technology-led SUV with advanced safety features and greater on- and off-road drivability designed for adventure seekers to overcome all challenges.
Following the success of the Everest Sport – which has been well received by Ford customers with almost half of Everest buyers opted for the model – Ford is putting the same appealing athletic elements across the new line-up featuring a refreshed unique grille, ‘Everest’ chrome hood lettering, chrome door handles and side mirrors and new alloy wheels. The new Everest offers a new color, Snow Flake White Pearl, for the Trend, Titanium and Titanium+, and Deep Crystal Blue exclusively for the Titanium Sport.
Latest powertrain enhancement along with 10-Year Driveline Care Program
Ford’s powerful 2.0L diesel engine continues to represent advanced engineering design and cutting-edge technology to offer greater power and torque. When mated with the advanced 10-speed automatic transmission, the engine delivers exceptional performance with a maximum of 213PS of power and 500Nm of torque.
Ford has a dedicated team of engineers constantly striving to develop Ford vehicles that offer the most advanced technology, the latest designs, and state-of-the-art features that help deliver an unrivalled driving experience. By utilizing data analytics, customer feedback, as well as series of testing, the 2.0L engine has been further engineered with key manufacturing technology and material upgrades.
“Customer needs and preferences are our top priority, and our team of Ford engineers are focused on the continuous process of product improvements. We strongly believe that these enhancements on the new Ranger and Everest will offer a peace of mind for Ford’s customers throughout the vehicle’s longevity,” added Wichit.
Added to offering world-class products, it is Ford’s mission to constantly improve customer service at dealers for Ford owner family. Thanks to an array of proactive and reactive customer-centered approaches, Ford provides the very best ownership experience and highest customer satisfaction throughout cars’ lifespan.
Ford is supporting the launch of the new Ranger and Everest by offering its Ford 10-Year Driveline Care Program for purchases of all variants through the end of the year. The 10-Year Driveline Care Program extends the warranty coverage of the vehicle’s driveline components to 10 years or 150,000 km, whichever occurs first, and covers the engine, transmission, and rear/front-wheel drive axles.

All-encompassing customer experience
Ford continues to enhance its ownership experience through the Ford Family Guarantee program with the expansion of existing services and introduction of new services. These include a Service Price Calculator on the Ford website, which provides an estimate of costs for routine maintenance or more involved repairs for Ford vehicles.
Since September 2020, Ford has also launched the 24-hour Ford Call Center 1383 extension 5 which enables customers to connect a ‘Ford Service Product Specialist’ for real-time support and quick technical solutions at any time of day or night, all seven days of the week.
In addition, Ford’s ‘Talk to the Experts’ program involves a team of Ford Service Product Specialists from its manufacturing facilities visiting Ford dealerships in major provinces across Thailand to engage personally with Ford customers.

I tried to order my version of one, back in 2000. I test drove a 4wd, extended cab, 5.7, manual. I tried to order it in 2wd, regular cab. Dealer would have none of it, said it was too much truck and I'd be mad at them for selling it to me. I might have dodged a bullet as I moved to MA a few months later, rather unexpectedly.

I would have loved to have the "Street" option when I ordered my XL. Oh well......maybe someday.

@P. A. Schilke Thanks Phil. I enjoy reading your articles. They are something I would probably not see anywhere else.
