PETALING JAYA: Ford in Malaysia recorded a strong demand for the popular Ford Ranger pickup truck which fueled the second quarter retail sales up 7.5% from the prior year to 1,556 vehicles sold.
The strong sales helped the Ranger increase its share of the pickup segment to 15.4%, a gain of 1.1 percentage points from the same quarter last year.
“The ‘Built Ford Tough’ Ranger continues to earn the favour of customers across the country and builds on its growing success in the market,” said Managing Director, Asia Pacific Emerging Markets, Ford Motor Company, Truong Kim Phong.
The Ranger continues to be Ford’s best-selling nameplate in Malaysia and one of the best-selling pickups in the market, attracting a wide range of customers who are looking for a versatile vehicle that is suitable for both on-and off-road.
The Ranger is currently available in Malaysia in ten variants – including the high-series Ranger Wildtrak, Ranger FX4, XLT, XL and Standard variants – providing great customer choice and meeting a wide-range of work and recreational needs.
Ford and Sime Darby Auto Connexion have continued to expand the nationwide dealer network this year with the opening of two new facilities in East Malaysia, Sime Darby Auto Connexion (Kuching) and Sime Darby Auto Connexion (Kota Kinabalu).
