Many people who buy a Ford Ranger or Ranger Raptor would be keen to use their vehicle for more than just daily driving. With its off-road capabilities, the Ranger can also be used to explore places away from the cities, making it an ideal dual-purpose vehicle.
For those who want to do this, Sime Darby Auto ConneXion (SDAC) has lined up a new series of Ford Ranger Getaways with training sessions for Ranger and Ranger Raptor owners this year. These sessions will be held in Peninsular Malaysia as well as East Malaysia.
The first getaway is the Ranger 4×4 Off-Road Course and Water Rafting Thrills Experience in Kampung Ulu Slim, Perak on April 20. This will be followed by the Sarawak 4×4 Training Academy (Sar4Trac) Beginner 4WD Course in Kampung Barieng, Bau, Sarawak on April 27.
The beginner-level 4WD courses return following positive responses from owners who have had past training experiences, including the recent M4TREC Beginner 4WD Course held last month. Those who attended past training sessions appreciated the quality of instructions, the practicality of the sessions and the thrill of putting their skills to the test in a safe and controlled environment.
Ideal for owners who are new to 4×4 driving as well as experienced drivers looking to improve their skills, the M4TREC Beginner 4WD Course provided participants with the necessary safe off-roading knowledge and techniques. The owners also gained deeper insights and familiarity with their Rangers so they could use the full potential of the vehicles.
“The Ford Ranger Getaways training experiences are designed to help customers unlock the true potential of their Rangers and Raptors. We welcome more Ranger owners especially our next-gen customers to participate in these training sessions to learn more about their vehicle’s features and elevate their driving skills, safely and effectively,” said Turse Zuhair, Managing Director, Sime Darby Auto ConneXion-Ford.
Meanwhile, the Ranger 4×4 Off-Road Course and Water Rafting Thrills getaway promises a full day of excitement amidst the scenic beauty of Malaysia’s natural landscape. The event, which starts from Ford Ara Damansara takes 4 people per vehicle through a beginner-friendly 4×4 off-road course before they experience the thrill of whitewater rafting along the Slim River.
As with other events, the Ford Ranger Getaways also offer opportunities for participants to enjoy the camaraderie of fellow adventurers and create lasting memories together. Apart from these organised trips, there are also other Getaways that owners can choose to go for on their own. Slots for all Ford Ranger Getaways are, however, limited on a first-come, first-served basis.
