PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA, 02 February 2026 – Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa (Manufacturing) (Pty) Ltd has unveiled a striking new limited-edition Ranger XLT, now available in an exclusive exterior colour, Chill Grey. Unique to this model in South Africa, the new colour ensures the Ranger XLT stands out in both urban streets and off-road terrain.
Production is strictly capped at 250 units, offering buyers a rare opportunity to own a Ranger XLT that combines distinctive style with upgraded interior features, all while retaining the excellent value Ford’s XLT range is known for. The exclusive Chill Grey variant comes equipped with Upgrade Pack 6, priced at R58 600 (VAT included).
The bespoke Ranger XLT delivers a suite of enhancements designed to elevate both appearance and practicality. On the outside, it features a sports bar, black side mirrors and door handles, and 17-inch alloy sport wheels paired with All-Terrain tyres, giving the vehicle a bold, purposeful stance. Underbody protection adds another layer of toughness, reinforcing the Ranger’s reputation for rugged off-road capability.
Inside, the cabin has been thoughtfully upgraded for comfort and convenience. Leather seats, a leather steering wheel, and a leather gear knob create a premium atmosphere, while wireless charging ensures modern practicality. Additionally, accessory switches allow easy integration of additional equipment, catering to both lifestyle and work requirements.
Safety remains paramount in this limited-edition model. Drivers benefit from a comprehensive suite of assistance technologies, including Collision Mitigation, Post Impact Braking, Lane Keep Assist, and Blind Spot Monitoring, all designed to enhance confidence and protection in a variety of driving conditions.
The introduction of Chill Grey also highlights Ford’s ongoing investment in local manufacturing excellence. In 2023, the company commissioned a cutting-edge skid cleaning facility at its advanced Paint Shop, which supports optimal paint application and quality. The facility, the first fully automated of its kind in the Ford network, uses 2 500 bar water pressure to remove paint residue from vehicle skids, ensuring consistent positioning and reducing contaminants. Combined with recent upgrades such as extended ovens, paint inspection tunnels, and an automated wax sealant application process, the facility reinforces Ford’s commitment to world-class build quality.
With its exclusive colour, premium upgrades, and strictly limited production, the new Ranger XLT Chill Grey is a standout addition to the Ranger portfolio. For customers seeking a vehicle that is both capable and uniquely theirs, this limited-edition Ranger XLT offers a combination of style, practicality, and exclusivity that is hard to match.
