Ford
Ford is one of the longest established vehicle brands in South Africa. Based in Pretoria, the Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa produces engines at its Port Elizabeth facility and assembles the Ranger bakkie at its Silverton plant. Since 2011, the T6-generation Ranger has become the only major challenger to the top-selling Toyota Hilux in the bakkie market, while Ford's passenger car line-up, although less extensive than in the past, caters for buyers of entry-level cars (Figo), compact hatchbacks (Fiesta), crossovers (EcoSport), Adventure SUVs (the Ranger-based Everest), buses (Tourneo Custom) and sportscars (Mustang). All Ford vehicles offer smart technologies, stylish design, reasonable fuel efficiency, many safety features, as well as 4-year/120 000 km warranties, while the brand has an extensive sales and service network.
