Ford’s newest bakkie the Ranger Thunder was officially launched in Mzansi today. The entertaining virtual launch was presented by DJ Angie Khumalo and funny man Jason Goliath.

The Ranger Thunder slots in between the WildTrak and Raptor. The newest addition is a looker and a limited-edition model. The Ranger Thunder has a tweaked honeycomb-style front grille incorporating red accents for the side “nostrils”.

The Ranger Thunder has a nice new touch in terms of practicality – the lockable “Mountain Top” black roller shutter to safely secure your goods while the bed divider also securely holds different-sized items.

Inside the cabin the Thunder is kitted out with black leather on the dash, steering wheel, gear lever and handbrake, and black leather seats with red stitching.

Under the hood the 2.0 litre bi-turbo engine generates 157 kW and decent torque of 500 Nm. The engine is mated to a 10-speed auto transmission.

As Jason Goliath called the Ranger Thunder, it is a “mountain goat” that loves bundu bashing and the luxury inside adds to the comfort and driving experience.
