'SORV' Severe Off Road Vehicle......DAMN!
Damn import rangers are way cooler than the domestic versions....here's a few things from the spec list:
The Ford Ranger SORV is available in three variants, double cabin 2.5L TDi 4x4 MT XLT, double cabin 2.5L TDi 4x4 MT XLT-STD, and double cabin 2.9L NA 4x4 MT Base. This heavy-duty pick-up also offers two options of diesel engine, the diesel 2.9L naturally aspirated and 2.5L turbo diesel intercooler, which is the most powerful diesel engine in the 2.5L class.
The new Ranger SORV comes with a variety of heavy-duty features. The first feature is heavy-duty suspension kit that has a role in strengthening the under carriage area, usually known as feet. The suspension system is a crucial element in supporting the vehicle’s performance during operation in severe terrain. This heavy-duty suspension kit consists of heavy-duty shock absorbers, a heavy-duty torsion bar, heavy-duty lower arms, heavy-duty leaf springs, a heavy-duty urethane bush kit, and a heavy-duty mount kit.
Others heavy-duty features that support the Ford Ranger SORV’s tough performance are the heavy-duty rubber boot, which is the enrichment of the standard rubber boot and is one of the vital components suitable for heavy-duty application pick-ups. Also, it has a heavy-duty brake pad feature made of material that has experienced a longer heat-treatment process, resulting in a stronger and a more durable brake pad component. The vehicle also offers an extension breather, which is utilized to ensure the oil pressure can still be perfectly released, thus, avoiding further problems due to the oil pressure hole being blocked by dirt or mud during operations in off-road terrain.
The Ford Ranger SORV is fitted with a snorkel feature that is able to increase the pick-up’s capability and safety to be driven in areas with high water level, and is also equipped by a pre-filter feature that is able to filter the air by separating dust particles contained in the absorbed air. This pre-filter feature can create a more durable air-filter component and a perfect combustion process.
