Ford To Develop EV Crossover Models Using Volkswagen MEB platform

Ford will use Volkswagen’s MEB platform for EVs to produce new battery electric vehicle (BEV) for the European market. This follows on from the alliance formed between the two carmakers which has so far seen Ford providing the latest Ranger truck for Volkswagen to adapt as its second generation Amarok.

The first Ford model to use the MEB will be a BEV crossover and production is expected to be underway at the Ford Electrification Centre in Cologne, Germany from 2023. Ford has confirmed one model with a total volume of around 600,000 units but a second one is expected, also likely to be a crossover based on what was shown of the BEV range in March this year.

The Ultimate Ford GT With No Restraints On Development As It Is Only For The Track

Production of the Ford GT is planned to end this month, and 1,350 units will have been built since the model was launched in 2016. One of the final models is the GT Mk IV which has the highest levels of performance, handling and advanced technology as it is a track-only car. Developed by Ford Performance and Multimatic, it is a radically advanced supercar with its unique bodywork, powertrain and suspension.

There will be only 67 units available, the number honouring the original 1967 GT Mk IV racing car which won the Le Mans 24-Hour race.

New Ford 3S Centre For Northern Region To Open in 2024

Since 2007, when Sime Darby Auto ConneXion (SDAC) immediately took over the Ford business in Malaysia after the American carmaker withdrew from its joint venture, the exclusive distributor for the brand has been steadily building up its retail network. Fortunately, Sime Darby had already been Ford’s business partner for a long time (since the 1980s) and had its own dealer network selling Ford vehicles and providing aftersales services.

With the continuing sales growth leading to a larger customer base, SDAC has continued to expand its network to have a presence in more areas around the country. Soon, there will be a new Ford 3S Centre to serve customers and owners in the northern region of Peninsular Malaysia.

Flexible Rack System Adds Versatility To Ford Ranger

With the latest Ford Ranger, a lot of effort has gone into making it the most versatile Ranger ever, a transporter for work or for recreation. To achieve that, the project team spent hundreds of hours talking to customers around the world to see how they use their pick-up trucks on a daily basis and what features and capability they expected.

A lot of feedback was acquired and considered, leading to the new Ranger having the versatility inside as well as outside the vehicle. The large and functional cargo box can take large items of all shapes and there are also accessories to close it off for security.

Ford also collaborated with JAC Products to develop a unique Sliding Load Rack and Folding Roof Rack which allow owners to load items spanning the length of the roof and cargo box. Known as the Flexible Rack System (FRS), it can be used for a ladder, timber, a door, canoe, surfboards or even bicycles.

New Stock Ford Ranger Raptor Takes Class Win In Baja 1000 Desert Race

Remember the news about a new Ford Ranger Raptor being entered in the SCORE-International Baja 1000? Run in California, it’s one of the world’s toughest off-road races and just making it to the end in one piece is an achievement.

The Ranger Raptor – prepared in Australia for desert racing but still quite standard and even road-legal, finished its class in first place. And it was still in such good condition that the team decided to drive it back to its home base. In 2017, a stock F-150 Raptor also did the same thing.

New Ford Dealership Opened In Kota Kinabalu, Sabah

East Malaysia, though having a smaller volume of sales than Peninsular Malaysia, continues to grow and for companies selling pick-up trucks, it is an important market. Due to the varied nature of the roads in the region, pick-up trucks are ideal for travelling around so they are very popular.

Sime Darby Auto ConneXion (SDAC), which has a range of Ford trucks to offer, has been strengthening its presence in East Malaysia over the years. Following the recent debut of the Next-Generation Ford Ranger in Sabah, the exclusive distributor for the brand in Malaysia has appointed a new dealership in Kota Kinabalu.

The new Ford Kota Kinabalu dealership is located at the Inanam Auto Hub and operated by Boston Auto Sdn Bhd. It is SDAC’s 7th outlet in East Malaysia (and the 36th in Malaysia) and strategically located within Sabah’s capital city.

SpareXHub Offers Genuine Parts For Older Ford Models With Up To 72% Discount

Genuine parts are always the best to use when it comes to replacing parts in your motor vehicle. They are designed and manufactured to the same standards as the vehicle they are intended for, and should fit perfectly.

However, genuine parts can be hard to find if the vehicle you own is an older one. Over time, distributors may reduce the stocks of genuine parts they keep for older models as demand diminishes, and they also need space for parts for the newer models.

If it’s genuine parts for older Ford vehicles that you’re looking for, SpareXHub is the place to go to. This Malaysian e-commerce company has been operating for a few years now, and its founders have 100+ years of combined experience in the automotive and tech industry. So they know the importance of using genuine parts, and have built up a vast inventory dating back to the Ford Courier which was first launched in 1997.

Biofuel-powered Ford Ranger Raptor To Enter Baja 1000 Off-Road Race (w/VIDEO)

Even as the Ford+ Plan has the carmaker putting in bigger investments in electric vehicles, attention has not diminished for vehicles with combustion engines. Particularly with pick-up trucks, which Ford is a leader in, there is continued development with sustainable clean energy solutions being explored.

At the SCORE International Baja 1000 – one of the toughest off-road races in the world – Ford Performance will enter a new Ranger Raptor running on a low-carbon biofuel, demonstrating the potential of these fuels in the most demanding environments.

Ford Ranger XL Single Cab Joins The New-Generation Range

Before pick-up trucks were allowed for private registration, they were used only for business purposes, usually on construction sites of logging camps. Their main use was transporting things, so seating was needed just for the driver and an assistant. This made the single cab bodystyle more common than the double cab.

As private use of trucks grew and people took their families in them, the double cab became the more common version. The single cab was still around but of interest mainly to businessmen. As demand was low, some companies decided to stop offering the variants (in Malaysia).

However, Sime Darby Auto ConneXion (SDAC) has always included a single cab variant in its Ford Ranger range and with the new generation, this is also the case. While the Ranger Single Cab was not announced earlier, it is now added to the range in the form of the XL 4×4 Single Cab Manual variant.

The D-Max X-Terrain marked Isuzu's arrival into the lifestyle truck segment. While Isuzus of old were renown as workhorses, the X-Terrain marked a major shift for the Japanese truck maker. Now, the X-Terrain has been updated to keep up with the competition. We recently got to spend some time with it on a drive to Melaka with a spot of light off-roading to try out a new feature - the Rough Terrain Mode. So how much does it cost? We are waiting for an update from Isuzu Malaysia so watch this space! Update: The price of the 2024 Isuzu D-Max X-Terrain has been confirmed for RM157,938.40. #Isuzu #IsuzuDMax #IsuzuDMaxXTerrain #DMax #XTerrain #IsuzuXSeries #IsuzuMalaysia

We have the Ora Good Cat in Malaysia, but the 03 GT is much nicer. Featuring aesthetic updates that make it look like a proper hot hatch, the 03 GT looks a lot cooler than any of the Good Cats in Malaysia. In fact, the 03 GT might appeal to a wider audience rather than just females. There are no performance updates though. Here's a quick walk around of the 03 GT. #GWM #GreatWallMotor #OraGoodCat #Ora03 #Ora03GT #OraGT #ElectricCars #EV #China

Reviewing a new tyre is never easy, but we swapped out the Toyo's that came standard with our Mazda CX-5 2.5T for a set of Goodyear Assurance MaxGuard SUV tyres recently.

This is part one of our test where we aim to bring you reports on how the tyre feels after every few thousand kilometres, so if you need to change your tyres in the not so distant future, we recommend subscribing to the channel so you never miss an update. #Goodyear #GoodyearTyres #GoodyearTires #GoodyearAssuranceMaxguard #Tyres #TyreTest #TyreReview #GoodyearTyreReview Visit our website for daily news at www.piston.my Follow us on instagram @piston.my Find out more about our host on instagram @keshydhillon Our sponsors offer some of the best fuels on the market, find out more: Website: https://www.bhpetrol.com.my/ TikTok: /bhpetrol Facebook: /bhpetrol.malaysia Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bhpetrol.ma...

The Toyota GR Supra deserves more love and credit than what it gets, and that despite the fact that it is essentially a BMW Z4 underneath it all. But we understand that it can never be like the original #ToyotaSupra, even though it may carry the #Supra name. Does it deserve it? We will let you decide, for now, let us know what you think of this #Toyota #SportsCar
