The Next-Gen Ford Ranger Raptor 2.0L Bi-Turbo Diesel Arriving Soon in Malaysia Due to Demand for a Smaller CC Raptor - There will be Launch Promos for the first 300 Customers folks!

 


GOOD NEWS!   Due to a demand from Ford Raptor fans in Malaysia for a smaller engine capacity Raptor the Next-Generation Ranger Raptor in 2.0-litre Bi-Turbo Diesel engine for will be made available soon. Sime Darby Auto ConneXion (SDAC), the sole distributor for Ford in Malaysia, announced earlier today that the Next-Generation Ranger Raptor 2.0L Bi-Turbo Diesel will be available starting 8 June 2023. While the Next-Gen Raptor was launched in Malaysia recently, it only came with a larger 3.0liter petrol turbo powered engine. With Malaysia being a country where engine capacity is taxed on how large the size is, a 2.0liter variant was always demanded by most people.

Test Drive: 2019 Ford Ranger XLT+ 2.0 Automatic - All the Ranger You Actually Need


The 2019 range of Ford Ranger here in Malaysia is super extensive. There is a variant for everyone and that is absolutely necessary for a brand that is now essentially one that only sells pickup trucks and SUVs here in Malaysia, and for most of South East Asia too. We recently tried the 2019 Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2.0 4X2 during its Malaysia launch at the ned of last year, and enjoyed it thoroughly. Now, we managed to test out the similar engined Ford Ranger XLT+ 4X4 2.0.

Modified Cars: Chelsea Truck Company Big Foot Edition Land Rover Defender - Those Tyres Are To Die For

 
Recently it has been like the whole passenger car industry is just coming out with SUVs or pick up trucks rather than normal cars these days. It started off with our review of the Volkswagen Tiguan Highline, then BMW Malaysia launched some Sport Activity Vehicles - the X2 and X3 here , the Range Rover Velar was launched, the Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2.2 and I also put on a video or two on the Haval H2 SUV. Then I remember my short video on the Toyota Fortuner at the GAZOO Racing Festival too. So let's continue by featuring the Chelsea Truck Company Big Foot Edition Land Rover Defender.

Drive Experience - The early internet, trucking in the 1970s/1980s, drive experiences & the M151 "Jeep" Truck 1/4 Ton


In 2006 when I first started this website the internet was a slower place to be. Facebook and YouTube was in its infancy. Instagram wasn't even born yet. There was not many places to actually view stuff and waste time online. Those days we had no real smartphones too. So you actually had to go out and do lots of stuff instead of getting totally stuck to the screen all of the time. 

I suppose you could say that I am quite lucky. I get to try new things all of the time. Go on driving adventures and so on. I don't only watch other people's motoring adventures on YouTube or read about them in a magazine. I get to do my own stuff. Recently I managed to cop a drive or two of something with eighteen wheels and also a bus or two. I suppose this is what happens when you have a passion for all things on four wheels - you drive something with more than four wheels stuck on it.
