KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, 18 April 2024 – Sime Darby Auto ConneXion (SDAC), the sole distributor for Ford in Malaysia, has lined up a new series of Ford Ranger Getaways off-roading adventures and training sessions for Ranger and Ranger Raptor owners this year.
The first getaway is the Ranger 4x4 Off-Road Course and Water Rafting Thrills experience in Kampung Ulu Slim, Perak, which is happening on 20 April 2024. Up next is the Sarawak 4x4 Training Academy (Sar4Trac) Beginner 4WD Course in Kampung Barieng, Bau, Sarawak, which takes place on 27 April 2024.
The beginner-level 4WD courses return following positive responses from Ranger and Ranger Raptor owners who have had past training experiences, including the recently completed M4TREC Beginner 4WD Course in March. Attendees from past trainings appreciated the quality of instructions, the practicality of the sessions and the thrill of putting their skills to the test in a controlled environment.
Made ideal for owners who are new to 4x4 driving as well as experienced drivers looking to hone their skills, the M4TREC Beginner 4WD Course provided participants with the necessary safe off-roading knowledge and techniques. Those who attended also gained deeper insights and familiarity with their vehicle to help them unleash the full potential of their Ranger and Ranger Raptors.
Separately, SDAC-Ford also organised a two-day test-drive event in Saradise, Kuching in March. The event offered prospective and loyal customers in Sarawak the exclusive opportunity to experience the Next-Gen Ranger and Raptor models on a specially constructed off-road track. Some Ranger owners also brought their own vehicles to experience the test-drive route.
The route included multiple off-road obstacles across different terrains, designed to showcase the advanced features and enhancements of the Ranger and Raptor. All participants were accompanied and guided by experienced off-road instructors, ensuring a comprehensive experience.
“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.
The Ranger 4x4 Off-Road Course and Water Rafting Thrills getaway is an adrenaline-fueled rafting adventure along Slim River in Perak, which promises a full day of excitement set against the scenic beauty of Malaysia’s natural landscape. Adventurers will navigate a beginner-friendly 4x4 off-road course before experiencing the thrill of whitewater rafting along the Slim River.
Open to four people per vehicle, the Ranger 4x4 Off-Road Course and Water Rafting Thrills getaway kicks off with a convoy from Ford Ara Damansara to the rafting starting point in Kampung Ulu Slim. Along the way, participants will test their basic 4x4 skills on a beginner-friendly off-roading course under the guidance of expert instructors, during which they will discover more about the capabilities of their Rangers.
It is tailored for off-road enthusiasts seeking to improve their skills and handle their vehicles in challenging terrains. It is also ideal for new owners looking to learn the basics of off-road driving and safety. Professional drivers can also benefit from the course by honing their skills for work purposes.
Apart from these organised trips such as the Ranger 4x4 Off-Road Course and Water Rafting Thrills adventure and Sar4Trac Beginner 4WD Course, there are also other getaways that customers can choose to go for on their own. Slots for all Ford Ranger Getaways are limited on a first-come, first-served basis.
