Enhancing Style, Capability, and Personalisation with Genuine Ford Accessories
PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA, 13 August 2025 – Vehicle personalisation has become a defining feature of South African motoring culture. Drivers across the country seek to tailor their cars, bakkies, and SUVs to reflect their individual style, practical needs, and adventurous lifestyles. Responding to this growing demand, Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa (Manufacturing) (Pty) Ltd (“Ford South Africa”) has unveiled exclusive dealer-fitted accessory packs for two of its most popular models: the Everest Sport and the Ranger XLT.
Personalisation Meets Performance
“The accessory market is huge, allowing customers to personalise their vehicles according to their unique styling and lifestyle requirements,” says Sunil Sewmohan, Executive Director, Product Marketing, at Ford South Africa. “We have introduced styling accessory packs to enable Everest Sport and Ranger XLT customers to give their vehicles an even bolder appearance while guaranteeing the highest level of quality and performance to match the proven capabilities of the vehicles themselves.”
The accessory packs comprise a combination of Genuine Ford Accessories and officially licensed Ford Accessories, all designed and tested to meet the same rigorous standards as Ford’s original equipment. Available from the second half of August, the packs can be ordered and fitted prior to delivery of a new vehicle, with coverage under Ford’s four-year/120 000km new vehicle warranty.
Owners of existing Everest Sport or Ranger XLT vehicles, or those purchasing a second-hand model, can also have the packs fitted at their local Ford dealer. In these cases, the parts are backed by Ford’s two-year/unlimited distance parts warranty, ensuring peace of mind for all customers.
“The tailored accessory packs give Everest and Ranger customers a one-stop solution for their accessory needs, as well as the reassurance of Ford quality in the parts that are fitted and the workmanship of our specially trained dealer staff,” Sewmohan adds. “Combining these items also makes them more affordable than adding them individually, offering exceptional value to our customers.”
Everest Sport: Bold, Refined, and Ready for Adventure
The Everest Sport is renowned for its distinctive design, comfort, safety, and versatility. Its black trim finishes and 20-inch wheels give it a commanding presence on the road, while its interior and driving dynamics offer the versatility expected from a premium SUV.
Priced at R18 000 (including VAT), the Everest Sport accessory pack amplifies its dynamic styling. A new grille featuring muscular ‘FORD’ lettering between two horizontal bars asserts a stronger front-end presence, complemented by matt black surrounds for the LED C-clamp headlamps. This bold treatment extends to the rear, with black surrounds framing the LED taillights.
Muscular black fender flairs enhance the SUV’s stance, while bonnet and bodyside decals contribute a sporty flair. Exclusive ‘EVEREST’ scuff plates on the door sills not only add a touch of refinement but also provide practical protection against scratches when entering or exiting the vehicle.
Ranger XLT: Rugged Capability Meets Refined Style
The Ranger XLT continues to set the benchmark in South Africa’s bakkie market, combining competitive pricing, trusted reliability, and exceptional capability. The specially developed accessory pack, priced at R27 500 (including VAT), ensures that the Ranger XLT stands out in both urban and rugged environments.
A bold black-painted ‘FORD’ grille provides a commanding front view, while “RANGER” bonnet lettering adds a touch of exclusivity. Matt black surrounds accentuate the C-clamp LED headlamps and daytime running lights, mirrored by the vertically stacked rear light clusters.
Rugged fender flairs, along with lower bodyside mouldings, protect the vehicle’s paint and bodywork, particularly in challenging working conditions. Completing the look is a long-legged sports bar, symbolising the Ranger’s adventurous ethos and embodying the spirit of Living the Ranger Life.
A One-Stop Solution for Style and Functionality
These dealer-fitted accessory packs reflect Ford South Africa’s commitment to meeting the needs of discerning drivers who seek style, individuality, and practicality. By combining high-quality components with professional installation and warranty-backed protection, the packs offer an easy, affordable, and reliable way to elevate the Everest Sport and Ranger XLT, turning each vehicle into a personalised statement of capability and style.
Ford’s new accessory packs for the Everest Sport and Ranger XLT are available from authorised South African Ford dealers from the second half of August 2025.
