2024.5 Ford Ranger: New Vehicle Personalisation Centre to speed up delivery

Ford Ranger buyers can now rely on better access to what the company says are the ute’s most popular Genuine accessories.

The opening of a new Ford Vehicle Personalisation Centre (VPC) in Thailand this week will speed up installation of two regular canopy options, a commercial canopy, and a manual roller shutter for those who want their Ford Genuine Accessories fitted before the vehicle even boards the ship for Australia.

The new VPC-fitted options will be available to order from this month (February 2024), on 2024.5 Ranger models – the pricing and features of which were announced on January 18.

“The VPC will complement the Ford Dealer Network by providing us the opportunity to offer customers a faster and seamless one-stop-shop solution for all their personalisation needs,” said Michael Karageorgiou, Ford’s global vehicle personalisation director.

“Customers can now order select accessories through a Ford dealer knowing that their vehicle will arrive in Australia with the accessories fitted and ready to go.”

The Ranger’s first VPC-installed accessory fittings are due to begin in March, with Australian delivery scheduled for May. They’ll arrive, of course, on the Grand Quest car carrier that Ford leased for three years from 2023, entirely for its own use.

The VPC – operated by RMA Automotive, the same partner business that builds the F-150 in right-hand-drive for Australia – will also build future special editions of the Ranger and Everest.

Ford says other accessories will be added to the VPC’s program in the coming months.
