Ford has invested almost R16-billion into the Silverton assembly plant in Pretoria to begin production of the Next-Generation Ranger, which will soon be shipped to more than 100 countries, including South Africa’s biggest markets — Europe and the UK.
The global Ford Motor Company now has three production hubs in its International Markets Group region for the Next-Gen Ranger, which includes the Silverton plant and two plants in Thailand. Investing in the Struandale Engine Plant has helped Ford introduce a 3.0L V6 diesel engine programme and upgrades for the Next-Gen Ranger on the existing assembly line for the 2.0L single turbo and 2.0L bi-turbo diesel engines.
The Silverton plant has also been producing the Everest seven-seater SUV since 2016. But with the new focus on the Next-Gen Ranger, the Next-Gen Everest and Next-Gen Ranger Raptor will be sourced from Thailand. “We were waiting for components which ultimately didn’t get here on time. So what ends up happening is that our production line stops.
