The New Ranger Platinum stands out as an exclusive model powered by Ford's potent 2.0L Bi-Turbo diesel engine, producing 210 PS and a robust 500 Nm of torque. Equipped with Ford's electronically controlled part-time four-wheel-drive system and a 10-speed automatic transmission, this pick-up offers outstanding performance while maintaining a commitment to efficiency and versatility.

According to DJ Simpson, Managing Director of Ford Asia Pacific Distributor Markets, "We've seen growth in high-end variants in this segment over recent years, so we challenged ourselves to create a vehicle that provides all of our customers’ wants and needs." The result is the new Ranger Platinum, which brings together luxury and utility in a single package.

This exclusive double cab model is designed for those who need a vehicle that can balance premium luxury for family use and the flexibility of a work truck for business needs. The Ranger Platinum also features an Everest-inspired dashboard, a closed shelf, and upper glovebox for additional storage convenience, further setting it apart from other Ranger variants.

The Ranger Platinum is priced starting from RM183,888 (on-the-road without insurance) in Peninsular Malaysia. Additionally, it comes with a five-year manufacturer's warranty or 160,000 km, with the option to extend to a six-year or seven-year coverage through the Premium Care extended warranty package. Ford also offers Extended Service Plan (ESP) packages tailored to meet specific customer needs.

In terms of versatility, the New Ranger Platinum comes equipped with Ford's Flexible Rack System, a sliding sport bar that can be adjusted to accommodate longer items. The roof racks feature roof rails that swing across the roof when needed, and they can be adjusted to two different lengths, stored away in the roof rails when not in use. This ingenious system can be operated by a single person and offers five different positions along the length of the load box. A pop-up crossbar increases the loading platform's height to match the Swing-in-Place Roof Rails.

The exterior of the Ranger Platinum boasts premium enhancements such as a unique grille, 20-inch alloy wheels (a first in the Ranger lineup), 'Platinum' hood badging, Silk Chrome trims, Matrix LED headlamps (a first-in-class feature, and best-in-class), and a dampened tailgate for effortless lowering. An innovative Flexible Rack System, Swing-in-Place Roof-Rails, and a Power Roller Shutter add to the truck's practicality. Moreover, it introduces the exclusive Equinox Bronze paint color to the Ranger lineup.

Inside, the Ranger Platinum takes luxury to the next level with quilted leather accented seats, a 12.4-inch digital instrument cluster (a best-in-class feature), a 12-inch infotainment screen with the latest SYNC 4A®, Bang & Olufsen speakers, ambient lighting, an e-Shifter, and Active Park Assist 2.0. The front seats are heated and ventilated (a first-in-class feature) with 3 memory settings, while the digital instrument cluster and decorative finishes contribute to the sense of opulence.
