Power for long road trips
In recent years, the trend of self-driving travel has increased significantly in Vietnam. Coastal routes in Central Vietnam, the Northwest, and the highlands have become popular choices for young families and groups of tourists who enjoy unique experiences. This has led to a demand for vehicles with flexible handling, spacious cabins, off-road capabilities, and integrated safety technology.
The new Ford models launched in Vietnam this time are developed based on the actual needs of customers, offering many outstanding features for diverse purposes, from work and family to, especially, adventurous journeys.
Speaking at the event, Mr. Ruchik Shah, General Director of Ford Vietnam, shared: "With our upgraded product range, we offer Vietnamese customers more choices, more technology, and superior performance on every journey. The Ranger, Everest, and Ranger Raptor not only continue to set new standards in their segments but also empower customers to confidently break through limits and be ready for any challenge."
Launch event and test drive experience of the latest versions: Ranger Wildrak, Ranger Raptor, and Everest from Ford in Da Nang on May 7, 2026.
Everest - Designed for adventure
The new Ford Everest variants, including Active, Sport, and Platinum, feature a 2.0L engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, offering an exceptional balance of fuel efficiency, powerful performance, and refined comfort.
Specifically, the Ford Everest Platinum+ version targets customers who prioritize a comprehensive driving experience. Equipped with a 2.3L EcoBoost gasoline engine, producing 300 horsepower at 5,650 rpm and a maximum torque of 446 Nm at 3,500 rpm, the vehicle delivers powerful yet smooth performance. The Everest boasts a robust, muscular exterior design in line with Ford's global design language, highlighted by the distinctive C-LED Matrix headlights and large grille, creating a strong and easily recognizable appearance. Its imposing stature not only sets this SUV apart in its segment but also provides a spacious interior, ensuring comfort on every journey.
Everest Platinum+ uses the new 2.3L EcoBoost engine.
The Everest's cockpit features a 12-inch infotainment screen and the SYNC 4A operating system.
The separate chassis continues to be an advantage, helping the Everest excel in load-bearing capacity, sound insulation, and flexible handling across various terrains, from urban to highway and off-road, providing a solid and stable driving experience.
Beyond performance, Ford also targets the Everest towards customers who prioritize cabin relaxation. Power-adjustable leather seats with memory function, ventilation and heating, combined with a B&O sound system, 360-degree camera, and panoramic sunroof, make the cabin suitable for family trips or long intercity journeys lasting many hours.
The new Ford Everest also continues to raise safety standards with the Co-pilot 360 driver assistance system and features such as automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist, automatic high beams, and a comprehensive sensor system, combined with a Boron steel chassis to enhance occupant protection.
Ford Ranger Raptor – Easily conquer any terrain
The Ford Ranger Raptor continues to affirm the DNA of Ford Performance, making it the most anticipated and exciting pickup truck. More than just a vehicle, the Raptor represents the spirit of pushing boundaries, power, and technology.
The new Ranger Raptor's power comes from its 3.0L V6 EcoBoost petrol engine, delivering impressive acceleration and near-instantaneous response thanks to its race-inspired turbo lag system. With 397 PS at 5,650 rpm and a peak torque of 583 Nm at 3,500 rpm, the engine provides powerful yet smooth and well-controlled performance in a variety of conditions. EcoBoost technology optimizes performance, responsiveness, and durability, resulting in a nimble and precise driving experience.
Combined with a 10-speed automatic transmission and full-time four-wheel drive, the Ranger Raptor not only performs powerfully on paved roads but also demonstrates impressive off-road capabilities across a variety of terrains, from high speeds to extreme off-road conditions. The new engine allows the Raptor to accelerate smoothly on surfaces such as gravel, dirt, mud, and sand. Furthermore, the electronically controlled active exhaust system with four selectable modes (Quiet, Normal, Sport, and Baja) allows for adjustment of engine sound from subtle to powerful.
A standout feature of the Ranger Raptor is its new generation 2.5-inch FOX suspension system with electronically controlled adaptive terrain control valves, providing superior ride comfort on paved roads while optimizing off-road performance at both high and low speeds. The vehicle offers up to seven selectable driving modes, notably the Baja mode, inspired by desert racing, which allows the vehicle to maintain maximum performance at high speeds on challenging terrain. The Trail Control™ system allows the driver to set a desired speed (below 32 km/h), and the system automatically adjusts throttle and brakes, helping the driver focus on steering when navigating difficult terrain.
Ranger WildTrak – A Versatile Pickup Truck for Work and Life
The Ranger was developed as a comprehensive mobility solution, balancing work and lifestyle needs. With its robust design, the Ranger WildTrak boasts a spacious and comfortable cabin while maintaining impressive payload capacity. This makes it a reliable companion for daily work and a vehicle for families on weekend trips and outdoor activities.
Equipped with a 3.0L V6 diesel engine, the vehicle enhances towing capacity and performance in harsh conditions. Combined with a full-time four-wheel drive system and a 10-speed automatic transmission, the Ranger Wildtrak 3.0L allows for seamless transitions between work and everyday use.
In addition, the Ranger (as well as the Everest and Raptor) enhances the ownership experience through intelligent connectivity with the Ford app, allowing customers to remotely start the vehicle, monitor its status, and easily manage key functions. Advanced safety features also contribute to increased peace of mind for drivers and passengers on every journey.
Wildtrak maintains the versatile pickup truck style for modern users.
The all-wheel drive system combined with a 10-speed automatic transmission allows the Wildtrak to seamlessly transition between daily commuting and long-distance trips. Ford has also integrated smart connectivity via the FordPass app, enabling users to remotely start the vehicle, monitor its operating status, and manage several basic functions using their phone.
“Ready Set Ford” and the ambition to expand the service ecosystem.
Coinciding with the launch of its new products, Ford introduced its global brand philosophy, “Ready Set Ford,” marking a shift towards a user-experience-centric model. According to the company, three core values—innovation, breakthrough, and discovery—will guide the development of products and services in the future.
In Vietnam, this philosophy is implemented through services such as door-to-door vehicle pick-up and delivery, express maintenance, mobile service, and a connected platform that allows users to remotely monitor vehicle status. Ford has also extended the warranty period for the Ranger and Everest to 5 years or 150,000 km.
According to the plan, the new Everest and Ranger Raptor will be delivered to customers from mid-May 2026, while the Ranger Wildtrak 3.0L V6 diesel is expected to appear on the market in early July 2026.
