Ford has embraced the online buying trend by unveiling the Limited Edition Ford Ranger Splash, in conjunction with the upcoming Lazada 11.11 Shopping Festival. It is the first pickup truck in Malaysia to be sold via e-Commerce.

Limited to 19 units, it is actually more than the 12 units of limited edition Beetle sold by Volkswagen almost 2 years ago. And like the Beetle, the Ranger Splash will be sold exclusively on Lazada.

The Ford Ranger Splash is based on the XLT+ with everything blacked out, so there’s a matte black kangaroo bar, special front grille, side mirror cover, rear bumper, sports bars, alloy wheels and fender flares.

A couple of features have been added - a built-in toll reader and 360-degree camera. There is also ‘Ranger Splash’ decals with fluorescent treatments (think highlighter colour) on each side of the truck.

Specs wise it mirrors the XLT+ and just a refresher, power comes from a 2.0-litre single-turbo diesel engine producing 180 PS and 420 Nm of torque and is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. 

The Ranger Splash is priced at RM 138,888 and will be available to pre-order from 28 October to 10 November by paying a fee of RM 1,389 (10% non-refundable booking fee included) to Chup it.
