Long-term Update Ford Ranger Tremor Provides Traffic Confidence

Its astounding how the size and type of vehicle determines people's attitude towards you on the road.

My partner had been involved in an accident courtesy of a lady who didnt have the patience to wait for traffic at a stop sign and as a result crashed into the right front corner of her BMW sedan.

I had a few test cars lined up so rather than go through the whole rigmarole of arranging a hire car through insurance, I suggested she use our long-term Ford Tremor.

Shes no stranger to the Ford Ranger range having driven the Wildtrak X extensively during our 4,000 kilometre trek through the Karoo last year and before that short stints in the previous generation Raptor.

Morning and afternoon rush hour between Midrand and Pretoria however, would be a new experience. The company she works for has a hybrid system so twice a week she tackles the N1 highway.
