With only 250 units earmarked for production, this isn't just a bakkie; it’s a collector's item for those who want to stand out from the sea of white and silver on South African roads.
What makes the Chill Grey limited edition special?

Interior & technology enhancements:
Premium touch: Full leather treatment for the seats, steering wheel, and gear knob.
Modern convenience: Integrated wireless charging and pre-installed accessory switches for easy aftermarket light or winch fitment.
Top-Tier safety: Includes Collision Mitigation, Lane Keep Assist, and Blind Spot Monitoring.
Behind the scenes
The arrival of this exclusive colour is the result of Ford’s massive investment in its local Silverton manufacturing plant.
In 2023, Ford introduced a world-first robotic skid cleaning facility in its Paint Shop. Using 2 500 bar of water pressure, the system ensures that the frames (skids) carrying the bakkies are surgically clean. This precision prevents contamination from dirt, ensuring that the Chill Grey finish—and every other Ranger colour—meets global quality standards.
"With its unique colour and strictly limited production run, this Ranger XLT represents a highly desirable option for customers seeking something truly special." — Ford South Africa
