Oh what a year it has been! With the rush to get to our holiday vacation destination. We would like to remind you The Importance Of Vehicle Pre-Holiday Checks to ensure that your vehicle is safe and road worthy.
CMH Kempster Ford Pretoria will take you through some vital pre holiday checks we recommend you should carry out
The Importance Of Vehicle Pre-Holiday Checks:
BRAKES
Breaks are crucial and needs to be inspected, not only when the vehicle is stationary but also when the vehicle is in motion to be able to pick up any vibrations or scraping sounds.
TYRES
Ensure that you have all the tyre-changing equipments in place, The legal tread depth is a minimum of 1.6mm in South Africa. It is crucial to check tyre pressures and adjust for heavy loads. To be road ready it’s also a good idea to check your spare wheel’s pressure and tread while you’re at it.
BATTERY
Make it a point to have your battery checked to see it your vehicle is ready to take on those long trips, it is better to know if you will have to replace the battery than to pay for a tow truck.
LIGHTS
CMH Kempster Ford Pretoria’s parts department is stocked with Ford approved genuine parts and with lights being top of your checklist, you are set to get brand new lights from our parts department. Ensure that your vehicle’s lighting system is operational and without fault. It’s important to double check your headlights and indicators are working properly.
WIPERS
Worn wipers can be extremely dangerous in case there’s rain or storms. For a clear and clean vision you have to ensure that your wipers are in good condition and replaced if need be.>
While you plan, pack and get ready for that long trip, you have to ensure that your vehicle is also ready to take on the road for that smooth drive.

“Kick off 2021” just got an extra kick with the All-New Ford Mustang Mach 1. A beast in its own league.
The New Ford Mustang Mach 1 leaves no room for humility, its loud heritage and innovative prowess is evident from a mile away. Equipped with a 5.0 litre V8 all-aluminium engine, 450 hp/ 343kw and a peak torque of 529Nm the Mach 1 is a beast unto its own and carries the technology to support it. Strapped with electric power-assisted steering (EPAS) software, the Mach 1 still takes the trophy over the most gruesome curves and bends; offering the precise steering of any Mustang to date. To emphasise this fact, the Mach 1 is suited with the MagneRide 2 adjustable suspension system which electronically controls the magnetorheological fluid inside the damper to respond in real time to changing road conditions.
In the spirit of optimum performance and driving experience the Mach 1 offers a choice in transmissions options. The TREMEC 3160 six-speed manual transmission uses a twin-disc clutch to comfortably manage aggressive, high-rpm gear-changes on track, and provides a short-throw shift action for fast, consistent shifts that maximise performance and the fun-to-drive factor. The advanced Ford 10-speed automatic transmission includes an upgraded torque converter and unique calibration for Mustang Mach 1, optimising torque capability shift character and overall power and performance with half the effort.
In true Mach 1 fashion, it doesn’t end there. The burly figured beast offers a distinctive, race- derived, aerodynamic look which has been the core component of its predecessors, but it's not all for show. This aerodynamic shape creates more downforce for an improved grip on the track, 22% more than the Mustang GT. The front and side grill provide improved cooling performance for such a hard-working machine.
As a cherry on top, the Mach 1 provides a uniquely tuned Active Valve Performance Exhaust feature that helps you calibrate the sound of your exhaust, from quiet to Track, unleashing the full might and unmistakable sound of the Ford V8.
Enquire now about the All-new Ford Mustang Mach 1, it’s a whole new league.

CMH Kempster Ford Pretoria embarked on a journey in Ford Guest Experience (FGE) which is mainly a commitment we wanted to partake in delivering a sales and service experience that is distinctly Ford, and that all our guests love because every guest is special.
So to help us carry this through and sustain it we had the honour to have three interns who will be embarking on this journey with us and “excitement” is an understatement to use to describe what the opportunity of having these three energetic interns made us feel!
When we received the email from Ford introducing the three ladies whom we’d take under our wing to introduce and coach them about the real corporate we couldn’t be more delighted.
The three interns named: Zenande Picane, Kate Mtileni and Lehlogonolo Mako started with us on the 11th January 2021 and here is what they had to say about themselves:
Kate Mtileni is currently studying Public Relations through the University of South Africa and she has done marketing / promotions since 2014, she says she is passionate about make-up and is self thought. Kate started trading clothing as a side business (Mhhh I think we have a smart young lady over here)
“At a time like this where a lot of our youth especially graduates are unemployed whilst our country’s unemployment rate continues to rise above the waves, one may say that it is with great honour to be one of the few candidates that was selected to be part of YES4Youth Programme with Ford”, Says Zenande Picane who is an artist by profession and she highlights that during this Coronavirus Pandemic, majority of artists are and were left stranded as their work has to do with the mass being in contact and that is where she was rescued by the YES4YOUTH PROGRAMME.
Ms Picane says The YES programme has already created a future vision for her as to how one should conduct themselves in the corporate world in terms of being professional and being customer orientated. She further says as a young black woman, she is ready for the YES PROGRAMME to educate her in all aspects of the business!
Last but not least, we have Lehlogonolo Mako who is studying towards a degree in Law through the University of South Africa but she says marketing and sales is definitely her hobby ( well isn’t she at the right place). Lehlogonolo says she is passionate about working with different people in different fields, she speaks on not going to limit herself and that she will strive to do her best and work hard with every opportunity coming her way.
Lehlogonolo says she is learning how fast paced the industry is and all the challenges but she is willing to take it right ON!
We are extremely delighted to have them and we hope to impart all the necessary skills to these three SO positive women. From all of us at CMH Kempster Ford Pretoria, We wish them a great year with us and a brighter future!
In South Africa we love all things big and tough. We love our biltong, sports and the big-five, we love braaiing and travelling, we love colour and most of all we love tough bakkies in which we can explore the beauty of our country.
The proudly South African built Ford Ranger remains in a league of its own! It is one of the top-selling vehicles announced for 2020 with 18,846 units sold in South Africa, proving just how much we as a nation, love our bakkies.
The Ranger also remained the top light commercial vehicle export. As many as 45,790 Ranger units were produced and exported at Ford's Silverton assembly plant in Pretoria making it one of South Africa's biggest success stories in terms of vehicle exports.
So, what makes the Ford Ranger so popular worldwide?
The Ford Ranger is designed, built and tested for a life of hard work, fun and adventure. Ford continuously work to improve its pick-up trucks by listening to truck owners and evolving innovations that improve durability, capability, efficiency and driving experience.
Two new derivatives were introduced in 2020:
Ford Ranger Thunder: "Based on the existing Wildtrak, the new Thunder edition features an updated tough and distinctive design with an edgier look for customers who aren’t afraid to be noticed."
Ford Ranger XL Sport: "Aimed at the customer who will use it as family wheels, for work, and who also likes the occasional detour out into the bushveld but importantly, all this on a budget."
Ford Motor Company always strives to compliment and enable a diverse range of customers and it is clear to see that with its versatility and efficiency, the Ranger quickly built a reputation for being tough and capable, leading it to thrive in diverse markets around the world!

The new Ford Ranger Thunder is here! The Ranger is one of the best-selling vehicles in South Africa, and now Ford has released another special Ranger, called the Thunder.
Based on the existing Wildtrak, the new Thunder edition features an updated tough and distinctive design with an edgier look for customers who aren't afraid to be noticed. It is characterized by:
The purposeful and sporty stance is emphasized by the upmarket black painted grille, along with a new sculpted front bumper that not only inspires a sense of confidence but also adds to its rigidity. The distinctive double-spoke 15-inch alloy wheels are unique to the Figo Freestyle. They are framed by muscular black wheel arch mouldings that reinforce the adventurous theme, in conjunction with the creatively styled black fog lamp housing accents. Special decals applied to the lower sections of the doors, along with “Freestyle” badging on the rear hatch, add further differentiation and youthful flair to this new model.
