New Ford Pro MS-RT models for Europe revealed
Two new MS-RT models are being added to our Ford Pro
portfolio, offering an exciting, halo option for customers who need a
commercial vehicle but also want to make a statement about their business. The all-new
Transit Custom MS-RT and all-new Ranger MS-RT, the first Ford Pro MS-RT models
to be available from Ford dealerships across Europe, not only have the
eye-catching appeal to help customers make that statement during the work week,
they also have the versatility to
support their lifestyle at the weekend.
Both models maintain the respective strengths of our award-winning
new generation of Transit Custom and Ranger models – including the productivity
boosting software and services from Ford Pro – but add eye-catching design,
exclusive interiors and other changes to make for an even more engaging drive.
The Transit Custom MS-RT, especially in the launch Yellow
Green colour, guarantees attention with its race-inspired front-end styling and
unique rear spoiler. Exclusive 19-inch alloy wheels are wider than any other
Transit Custom wheel and help increase the overall track by more than 50mm, and
along with Transit Custom’s independent rear suspension, it handles as
brilliantly as it looks.
All-new ergonomic front seats with side bolsters for
additional support and a sculpted sports steering wheel with blue 12 o’clock
marker add to the sporty feel inside. Available
as part of a van or a crew cab layout, all seats are finished in non-animal
Eco-Leather and suede, with MS-RT logos and blue stitching to remind you you’re
sat somewhere special.
There’s a choice of powertrains too, including diesel (with
optional AWD on the more powerful 170 PS model), PHEV and full electric. The
full electric E-Transit Custom MS-RT is distinguishable by the coast-to-coast
LED light strip between the headlights and comes with an exclusive 210 kW (285
PS) e-motor powering the rear wheels and offering smooth and highly responsive
performance. It boasts the highest power output of any of our Transit Custom
models to-date.
The Ranger MS-RT is designed to be the ultimate street truck.
Wider arches over exclusive 21-inch alloy wheels help increase overall width by
82mm, with the track width increased by 40mm each side. Specially developed
suspension also lowers the vehicle by 40mm, giving a more sporting stance and
also providing greater handling precision and stability through corners.
Naturally there’s also a spoiler. In fact, there are two
aerodynamically tested ones; a ducktail spoiler on the rear tailgate and a roof
tip spoiler on the back of the cab, which is a Ranger first. The interior
features all-new seats with more supportive bolsters and seat backs, finished
in the same non-animal Eco-Leather and suede with distinctive MS-RT pattern and
blue stitching that is in the Transit Custom MS-RT. Drivers also benefit from a
heated, sculpted sports steering wheel with blue 12 o’clock marker and MS-RT
branded inlay.
The two exclusive new models have been designed and
engineered in a close collaboration between our global team and the specialists
at MS-RT – an offshoot of our rally partner M-Sport – to deliver a unique
combination of dramatic motorsport-inspired looks, enhanced driving experience
and outstanding load carrying capability. Whichever one you go for, you won’t
be disappointed.
