Ford today announced its best-ever February sales performance in Malaysia with overall retail sales jumping 66 percent year-over-year to 1,249 units, led by continued strength in demand for the class-defining Ranger pickup truck.
“Our award-winning Ranger continues to lead the charge across our whole lineup, allowing us to welcome more and more Malaysian customers to the Ford family as our momentum grows,” said David Westerman, managing director, Malaysia and Asia Pacific Emerging Markets, Ford Motor Company.
As the number two best-selling pickup truck in Malaysia, the popularity of the versatile Ranger continued to expand as retail sales surged 104 percent year-over-year to 966 units.
“Our customers tell us that it’s the Ranger’s class-leading safety features and extraordinary capability they value most, whether transporting the family in Kuala Lumpur or hauling a heavy load in Sarawak,” said Westerman.
Offering an unmatched safety package for the segment in Malaysia, the full Ranger lineup is equipped with active and passive safety features, including driver and front passenger airbags standard on all models, in addition to side and rear curtain airbags in the Wildtrak variant.
