But this plush double cab bakkie is still miles ahead of Toyota Hilux and Isuzu D-Max.The Citizen Motoring
To be fair, the Ford Ranger Platinum is not actually a special edition model. It is now the most luxurious RangerThe Wildtrak comes in at R1 057 200 and the Raptor at R1 226 700, with the Platinum slotting in at R1 119 000. For me at this price point, if you can afford one of these, you can easily afford any of them. Then your choice is probably more about personal taste than about anything else.
The Platinum gets the roof rails from the Wildtrak models, but not the powered roller shutter. A bit bizarre when you are paying over R1-million for this bakkie and have to cough up even more for that. But I guess there are owners who will want to fit a canopy and then the roller shutter won’t work out for you.Jumping inside is where the premium status really starts to be appreciated.
There are also chargers everywhere in the Ford Ranger Platinum. They range from a 400W inverter with 240-volt and 12-volt power outlets positioned on the rear of the centre console and in the load bay, and dual USB points for both front and rear seat occupants.
