In March 2024, Ford will introduce two new models in the Vietnamese market, including the Everest Platinum and Ranger Stormtrak. Both are new premium versions of the Ford Everest and Ranger models in Vietnam. Similarly to the Everest Platinum, the Ford Ranger Stormtrak may also serve as a replacement for the highest-end Wildtrak variant.
Currently, sales consultants at the Vietnamese dealership have started accepting deposits for the Ford Ranger Stormtrak. The price for this variant in Vietnam has not been announced yet but it may be higher than the Ford Ranger Wildtrak (979 million VND).
The Ford Ranger Stormtrak was first unveiled in the Thai market in March 2023 at the Bangkok International Auto Show. Compared to other variants of the Ford Ranger, the Stormtrak version has added several new features, such as a roof rack and a movable sports bar that can be adjusted to 5 positions on the cargo bed. Ford stated that users can adjust the sports bar with just one hand. These features, which are not available on other pickup truck models, have a maximum load capacity of 80 kg while the vehicle is in motion or 250 kg when parked.

In addition, the Stormtrak version also comes with new glossy black details such as a wider honeycomb grille, raised “Ranger” lettering on the hood, and 20-inch alloy wheels. There are also orange accents including the border around the center air intake and the wheel nuts.

Other distinguishing features of this version include the “Stormtrak” logo on the tailgate and the new black accent on the side of the vehicle. Meanwhile, the Ford logo has been changed from the usual blue color to black.

The vehicle has orange accents inside such as the trim on the seats, the “Stormtrak” logo on the front seats and the dashboard. The stitching on the seats, dashboard, door trim, steering wheel, and gear lever is also orange.

The engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and is available in 2WD or 4WD drivetrain.
