The local midsize pickup truck category is getting even more competitive as car brands launched their respective new segment challengers. The facelifted Ford Ranger and the all-new Isuzu D-Max are some of the trucks that enter the Philippine market. On the other hand, there are reports which suggest that Nissan might launch the new Navara soon.
Ford Philippines want to capitalize its presence in the said segment as it launches another Ranger variant, the 2021 Ranger FX4 Max. The said truck is inspired by the off-road capabilities of the Ranger Raptor but with more focus on being a workhorse pickup.
2021 Ford Ranger FX4 Max
“The Ranger FX4 MAX is definitely a strong addition to our growing Ranger portfolio and further boosts the off-road capabilities of our trucks. It is the perfect pickup for customers who seek adventures as it is equipped with features that offer confidence and convenience in taking on the roads less traveled,” said Ford Philippines president and managing director PK Umashankar.
