Following an eight-month test period, CAR Editor Ian McLaren reports back on how the Ford Ranger Tremor fares on the daily. Has our extended time with this model confirmed its standing as the go-to derivative within the extensive local Ranger portfolio?
Finished in Lucid Red paintwork, the Ford Ranger Tremor certainly looks the part. However, there’s much more to this bakkie than just its appearance. Indeed, equipped with a suite of off-road-focused features and fitted with 17-inch alloy wheels shod in plump General Grabber rubber, the Tremor is adept to both urban and off-road driving. We’ve spent eight months with this Blue Oval bakkie to find out how it fares on the daily. In a lineup comprising over 20 derivatives, is the Tremor the model of choice? CAR Editor Ian McLaren spent eight months behind the wheel to find out.
