Subsequent to the introduction of the Ford Ranger XLT Plus Special Edition yesterday, we’re now bringing you a full live gallery of the limited pick-up truck – the second after the StormTrak earlier this year. Just 300 units of the upgraded mid-spec model will be made available, coming with unique accessories for a more rugged outdoorsy look.
The truck is priced at RM143,888 on-the-road without insurance, or RM149,388 in East Malaysia – making it only RM1,000 more expensive than the standard XLT Plus. As is typical for the Ranger, each purchase comes with a five-year/160,000 km warranty.
Available in only Absolute Black and Meteor Grey, the Special Edition is set apart through riveted matte black fender flares, hiding the unchanged (and rather tiny) 17-inch six-spoke alloy wheels. The matte black finish extends to the sports bar at the back, while silver stripe graphics adorn the bonnet and the lower doors – the latter with the “Ranger” script.
Step inside – over the “Ranger” illuminated side sill scuff plates – and you’ll find pull-out cupholders below the side air-con vents. No other changes to the kit list, so the Special Edition continues to feature the XLT Plus’ LED headlights, fog lights, side steps, keyless entry, push-button start, dual-zone climate control, manual fabric seats, an eight-inch digital instrument display, a 10.1-inch portrait infotainment touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a Qi wireless charger, six speakers and a reverse camera.
Safety-wise, the Special Edition comes as standard with six airbags, stability control and autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian detection. No changes to the powertrain, either, consisting of a 210 PS/500 Nm 2.0 litre twin-turbo diesel engine, a ten-speed automatic gearbox, an electronic four-wheel-drive system with a shift-on-the-fly function and an electronic locking rear differential.
