Sime Darby Auto ConneXion (SDAC), the sole distributor of Ford in Malaysia recently unveiled a new brand experiential programme called “Ford Ranger Getaways” to provide enthusiasts a chance to experience the versatility of the Ranger with like-minded individuals.
An industry first, the programme is designed to provide a unique experience of Living the Ranger Life through a series of handpicked local adventures.
The new brand experience platform was crafted based on customer feedback, which underlined their desire for wanting to network with like-minded individuals, expanding their lifestyle to enhance work-life balance and spending more quality time with family and friends.
Open to all Ford Ranger owners from 5 February 2022 onwards, the programme covers a multitude of interest categories to cater to Malaysians from all walks of life who desire short local adventures, be it on their own, with friends and family or for those who simply want to meet like-minded individuals.
Each getaway has been thoughtfully curated to showcase the multiformity of the Ford Ranger lifestyle – from fun city outings and outdoor or off-road excursions to foodie trails and even flying a plane through Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC).
There is also a one-of-a-kind on and off-road experience within the vicinity of Sepang, which will be held on 26 February for performance-certified Ranger Raptor owners and on 27 February for all other Ranger owners.
The programme also simultaneously aims to help boost domestic tourism, which have been hard-hit by the pandemic and to support as many local businesses as possible. These businesses have been selected for their adventures that align with the Ranger Life core values.
There are a total of 15 experiences to choose from and these activities will be refreshed from time to time to ensure the outings are kept interesting. The getaways on offer include half-day, full-day or overnight trips and prices start from as low as RM98 per person and ranges up to RM2,133, depending on the package of choice.
Once proud owners of Rangers book their getaway, all they need to do is drive their Ford Ranger to the destination of choice and buckle up for a memorable Ranger Life experience.
In conjunction with the launch of the Ford Ranger Getaways, customers can enjoy 50 percent savings for the on and off-road experience within the vicinity of Sepang, which will be held on 26 February for Ranger Raptor owners and on 27 February for all other Ranger owners. Each participant can also bring along a companion for free.
Customers are encouraged to sign up quickly for this one-of-a-kind experience as only 36 slots are available on each day, on a first-come, first-served basis.
In conjunction with the Chinese New Year, SDAC-Ford will be showcasing six featured Ford Ranger Getaways, which will be aired every Friday starting 12 February 2022 on all Ford Malaysia social media channels.
Ford Ranger Getaways is the latest offering under the new “Live the Ranger Life” brand positioning, which celebrates the Ranger’s evolution from a pure workhorse to a modern lifestyle truck that now serves its owners not only for work but also for family and play.
Encapsulating the values and persona of the Ranger, “Live the Ranger Life” encompasses five core beliefs that reflect the Ranger way of life: “To go up and over challenges, never around”, “To bring others along for all of life’s journey”, “Where there isn’t a path, carve one”, “Offer assistance because we can’t help but help” and “Make our own fun”.
