The Next-Gen Ford Ranger Wildtrak
by Phillip S Maboya
The Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa has always produced the best bakkies in South Africa.
In 2022 Ford did something very much surprising. Instead of them dictating where the Ranger should go, they went on and conducted more than 5,000 interviews wanting to get into the minds of their customers and I'm very much happy to say that, Ford Delivered What Their Buyers Wanted.
