PRETORIA, South Africa, 25 January 2023 – Hot on the heels of the exciting and trendsetting
Next-Generation Ranger Double Cab models that hit the South African market in December last
year, Ford South Africa is launching the Single Cab and SuperCab derivatives, scheduled to go on
sale in March this year.
Four Single Cab models have been introduced to cater for workhorse applications, complemented
by six SuperCab variants that provide the versatility of an extended cab and a large cargo volume
which satisfies the requirements for business and lifestyle customers alike – headlined by the first-
ever SuperCab model in luxurious Wildtrak 4x4 specification.
“The Next-Generation Ford Ranger Double Cab models have been exceptionally well received
thanks to the bold styling, outstanding comfort and refinement, exceptional safety and superb
performance,” says Doreen Mashinini, General Manager for Marketing at Ford South Africa.
“We are delighted to expand the range with the start of production of the practical Ranger Single
Cab and spacious SuperCab models that fulfil the needs of small to medium businesses, large
fleet operators, farmers and private customers,” Mashinini says. “The bulk of the range is available
in XL or more upmarket XLT specification, and we also offer the extensive range of Upgrade Packs
that were introduced on the Ranger Double Cab. This allows owners to personalise their vehicle
with a wide range of cosmetic and functional enhancements according to their unique requirements
and applications.
“Particularly noteworthy is the introduction of the SuperCab body style to the exclusive Wildtrak
series, giving buyers the choice of a luxuriously appointed vehicle with all of the high-tech safety
and comfort features that were traditionally reserved for double cab models,” Mashinini says. “This
reaffirms our commitment to listening to our customers, and delivering products designed to
complement their lifestyles. Later this year we will be further expanding the range to cater for the
entry-level workhorse segment too, where affordability and low running costs are the absolute
priority for business and fleet customers.”
Design and practicality
Echoing the bold and distinctive Built Ford Tough design of the Next-Gen Ranger Double Cab, the
new Single Cab and SuperCab models look tough and inspire confidence. The assertive stance is
emphasized by the more upright front grille with strong horizontal grille bar, signature C-clamp
headlight treatment and subtle shoulder line with pronounced wheelarches that give the vehicle a
sure-footed and athletic appearance.
Underscoring the Ranger’s impressive capability is an upgraded chassis riding on a 50mm longer
wheelbase, along with a 50mm wider track compared to the previous Ranger. A hydro-formed
front-end structure allows for improved design and packaging, providing greater airflow to the
radiator to keep the engine temperature low when towing or carrying heavy loads. It also frees up
space for an auxiliary battery to be fitted in the engine bay, should this be required.
Cargo management is an area where the Next-Gen Ranger excels, with a wider cargo box packed
with features and opportunities to transform the space into a total cargo management makerspace.
The Ranger is now 50mm wider, allowing the cargo box to accommodate a standard European
pallet between the wheel arches (up to 1 224mm), while the loadbox length runs up to 2 305mm
on the Single Cab models for maximum loading volume. The payload capacity ranges from 964kg
to 1 186kg, depending on model.
There are six tie-down points in the loadbox to help secure cargo, while external tie-down rails on
the XL models create ultimate cargo hauling flexibility, and are designed to easily fit ratchet straps
and ropes. Durable plastic box top and tailgate capping protect the loadbox edges and tailgate
upper edges, so owners can load equipment without fear of damaging the paintwork.
The load bed was also designed so customers can create their own DIY organisation and storage
solutions. On the Wildtrak SuperCab, which is equipped with a drop-in bedliner as standard,
pockets are moulded into the cargo box sidewalls that allow owners to use wood planks to create
compartments in the bed, or build a two-tier loading surface. The Ranger’s innovative new loadbox
side-step is included on the Wildtrak, with the practical Cargo Management System available as
an option to provide further loading flexibility.
Further practical touches found on all models – which are ideally suited for contractors and
tradesmen working on-site – include the integrated clamp pockets, a nifty ruler and cupholders in
the tailgate which transforms it into a useful workbench.
On the Wildtrak SuperCab, the fitment of a standard 400W inverter, with 12V and 240V power to
the cabin and the loadbox, opens up further possibilities for operating a variety of equipment in any
location. A 12V socket is standard in the load bed of the XLT range.
