SDAC-Ford launches new Next-Generation Ranger XL Single Cab Manual Variant in Malaysia; priced from RM98,888

Sime Darby Auto ConneXion (SDAC) has recently launched the Next-Generation Ranger 2.0-litre XL Single Cab Manual Variant in Malaysia. The Next Gen XL Single Cab Manual Variant will be priced at RM98,888 (on-the-road, without insurance and road tax, for Peninsular Malaysia) and RM104,388 (on-the-road, without insurance and road tax, for East Malaysia).

The Ranger XL Single Cab is powered by a 2.0-litre Single-Turbo diesel engine that delivers 170 PS at 3,500 rpm and peak torque of 405 Nm at 1,750-2,500 rpm. The powertrain is paired with a new six-speed manual transmission that was four years in development and features a new gear set for smoother shifts.

Aligned with next-generation Ranger line-up, the XL Single Cab benefits from the 50mm track and wheelbase increase, which offers improved stability on and off-road as well as wider front approach and rear departure angles. 

The Ranger XL Single Cab offers the largest single cargo bed on a pickup in the market with 2,332 mm in length, 1,420 mm in width and 540 mm in height. Ground clearance is also higher at 230 mm. There are also six cargo tie-down hooks on strong steel tube rails that provide convenient points for securing loads.

For more versatility at remote work sites, the tailgate can also double up as a mobile workbench with an integrated ruler and clamp pockets to measure, grip and cut building materials.

While it is a base variant, the Ranger XL Single Cab also comes standard with a high-level of integrated technology. It receives the 10.1-inch touchscreen and Ford’s voice-activated SYNC 4A communications and entertainment system with Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There is a reconfigurable eight-inch colour digital instrument panel which allows more information presented to the driver.

Other equipment highlights and safety features include two USB ports, one 12-volt power socket, two airbags, an anti-lock braking system with electronic brake-force distribution, electronic stability control with traction control, hill descent control, hill launch assist, rollover mitigation, and trailer sway control.

On the outside, the next-generation Ranger XL Single Cab is down-to-earth with 16-inch alloy wheels, a standard black front grille, body-coloured front bumper and black back bumpers, halogen headlamps, rear fog lamps, a front recovery hook, daytime running lights and an LED tailgate-mounted stop lamp.

Exterior colour options for the Ranger XL Single Cab include Absolute Black, Aluminium Metallic, Arctic White and Meteor Grey. 

The Ranger XL Single Cab comes with a five-year manufacturer’s warranty or 160,000km, whichever comes first. Customers can also choose an extended warranty of up to seven years for more peace of mind, as well as opt for an extended service package, through which they can make upfront payments for scheduled services for up to five years. A key benefit is cost savings as they can lock-in the current price amidst rising costs and build the payments into their loan.

Customers who purchase the next-gen Ranger XL Single Cab will also automatically be part of the Ford Inner Circle in Malaysia – a community of like-minded individuals who enjoy pushing boundaries and exploring new horizons, contributing back to society or going for excursions like the Ford Ranger Getaways with friends and family.
