Busch-ready Ford Ranger Tremor pays for additional drag when lined up against VW Amarok, Toyota Hilux and Isuzu D-Max on the drag strip.
Rugged double cab bakkie loses to VW Amarok, Isuzu D-Max and Toyota Hilux.Our long-term Ford Ranger Tremor has been racking up the kilometers and has been used as everything from a daily commuter, to a family holiday vehicle and even as a work bench. Now it’s time see how it performs against its natural foes in the form of the Toyota Hilux, VW Amarok and Isuzu D-Max when it comes to outright performance against the clock.
We are South African. We love power, we drive too fast, we drink brandy and then go run across a rugby field at an international game and get planted so hard into the turf, we wake in time for the next World Cup. It’s who we are!Moving to road tests and away from rugby tests, our Ford Ranger Tremor joins the Wildtrak X as the only 2.0-litre models mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission with an advanced eShifter and electronic parking brake.
But because of the off-road toughness upgrades of Bilstein dampers and chunky 265/70 R17 all-terrain General Grabber AT3 tyres, and the 24mm higher ground clearance and 30mm wider track, there is more drag and more Ranger Tremor to get through the air and this works against the Ford in posting good performance times on tar.‘s road test puts it near the bottom of the table, while the Amarok 2.0 BI-TDI Life 4Motion stays at the top with a 10.38sec run.
