The Ford Pro Convertor programme has gone live in South Africa, bringing industrial and commercial applications to the Ranger bakkie.
Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa has launched the Ford Pro Converter programme which helps businesses convert Ford’s vehicles into industrial vehicles without compromising on quality and reliability.
Essentially, the Ford Ranger family of bakkies (and Everest and Transit) are marketed as being ultra capable in both lifestyle and commercial applications, but what if you wanted the vehicle for more professional commercial operations? The standard car will need some modifications, but how do you know the work done on the vehicle will be of a high standard?
The application potential is comprehensive with Ford suggesting emergency vehicles, armoured vehicles for cash transfer, mining and construction. Let’s not forget the humble dropside bakkie either, pictured here. Lead times range from 4-6 weeks and converting the vehicle won’t affect the original warranty or service plan. The conversion itself is covered by the approved convertor’s warranty, which aligns in duration with the factory coverage of four years or 120 000 kilometres, whichever comes first.
“The Ford Pro Convertor launch demonstrates our ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality, customised commercial vehicle solutions that empower businesses and organisations across South Africa,” says Tracey Delate General Manager, Direct Sales Operations, Ford South Africa.
“Our comprehensive approval and support framework ensures that each conversion is done to exacting standards without compromising vehicle functionality, safety, or warranty. Whether it’s a mobile clinic, an emergency vehicle, or a specialised mining support truck, Ford Pro Convertor conversions provides peace of mind and reliable operation tailored to the customers’ unique requirements.”
