Sime Darby Auto ConneXion ushers in new adventures with Ford Ranger Getaways

KUALA LUMPUR: Embracing the spirit of adventure, Sime Darby Auto ConneXion (SDAC), the exclusive distributor for Ford in Malaysia, has unveiled a thrilling lineup of off-roading adventures and training sessions for Ford Ranger and Ranger Raptor owners.

This year’s activities are poised to redefine the 4x4 driving experience, starting with two distinct events in April that blend skill development with high-adrenaline fun.

The first of the season’s adventures, the Ranger 4x4 Off-Road Course and Water Rafting Thrills, is set to take place on April 20 at Kampung Ulu Slim, Perak. Participants will tackle a beginner-friendly off-road course before taking on the rapids of Slim River, promising a day full of challenges and picturesque landscapes.

Following this, on April 27, the Sarawak 4x4 Training Academy (Sar4Trac) Beginner 4WD Course will welcome participants in Kampung Barieng, Bau, Sarawak. This course is specially designed for both novice and seasoned off-road drivers who are keen to refine their driving techniques and learn new skills.

These courses have been developed in response to the positive feedback from previous training sessions offered by SDAC, such as the M4TREC Beginner 4WD Course held in March. Participants have praised the high-quality instruction and practical, hands-on nature of the courses, which have significantly boosted their confidence in handling challenging terrains.

SDAC-Ford continues to innovate by not only organizing these immersive experiences but also by providing an exclusive e-commerce platform where Ranger owners can book and manage their adventure getaways. This platform, a first in its segment in Malaysia, enhances the customer experience by making adventure more accessible to the Ranger community.

The Ranger 4x4 Off-Road and Water Rafting Thrills event offers an integrated experience that begins with a convoy from Ford Ara Damansara to the rafting start point, providing an opportunity for participants to test and improve their basic 4x4 skills under expert guidance. The adventure concludes with a thrilling two-hour whitewater rafting experience along an 8-km stretch of the Slim River, featuring class two and three rapids.

The Sar4Trac Beginner 4WD Course is equally engaging, offering a comprehensive introduction to off-roading in a controlled environment. This course is designed to teach participants about 4x4 driving fundamentals, safety, and vehicle handling on various off-road obstacles such as Mud & Gravel and Hill Ascents.

These adventures underscore SDAC's commitment to fostering a vibrant community of like-minded enthusiasts and providing enriching experiences that leverage the capabilities of the Ford Ranger and Ranger Raptor. With these events, SDAC not only promotes the thrill of off-roading but also encourages safe and responsible driving practices among its community.

For those interested in partaking in these unique experiences, SDAC encourages early registration to secure a spot. Further details and future events can be explored on the SDAC-Ford e-commerce platform, where enthusiasts can also book their next off-road adventure.

As the Ford Ranger community grows, SDAC continues to lead the way in offering unforgettable experiences that push the limits of adventure and bring the capabilities of their vehicles into new terrains and challenges.
