All New Ford Ranger: It has arrived
Excitement was the order of the day at CMH Ford Hatfield on 6th April as we launched the much awaited 2019 All New Ford Ranger. Definitely one of our Favourites as a brand, we could not wait to share the excitement and experience with our customers. Let’s speak a little about the vehicle before we get into what made our launch day so special.
The All New 2019 Ford Ranger personifies TOUGH, CAPABLE and COMFORTABLE with amazing changes to its interior and new innovative features. For one, you now have a “push start” button, which was not in the previous model, 800mm water wading capability, electronic rear locking system and driver assist features that make this vehicle a total “must-have”.
The theme around the Ford Ranger Launch was “Ford Family Time” in Carnival style. Our customers enjoyed carnival food, music and beverages with a kiddies’ area helping mommy and daddy relax whilst they wait for their test drive. A photo booth allowed our customers to take family pictures and receive them instantly before they leave.
Our sales executives were kept busy with lots of test drives and many questions. If you were unable to attend the launch, do yourself a favour and book a test drive with your family today. Our team is ready to help you experience this next level kind of vehicle.

We at Kempster Durban South had a fun filled day with our clients and Ford SA where we were taught different techniques and Ford Driving Skills for Life. We set up breakfast, started the training and watched a video which we all found very interesting. We were split into groups and the trainers then taught us the different skills and techniques in the vehicles, we were all blown away by the awesome experience and finished the day off with lovely Hamburgers.
Some history of Driving Skills.
Ford Established in 2003 by the Ford Motor Company Fund, the Governors Highway Safety Association, and a panel of safety experts created the Ford Driving Skills for Life program (Ford DSFL) which teaches drivers of all ages the necessary skills for safe driving beyond what they learn in standard driving school program.
The program is international in scope touching not only South Africa but many areas around the world. The basic premise behind Ford Driving Skills for Life is to provide a step in the learning process, providing new skills and information not currently shared with newly licensed drivers in the basic driver education courses.
Training is conducted in a hands-on curriculum and the entire program is available free of charge. Training conducted under the Ford Driving Skills for Life program addresses the inexperience factor as well as issues surrounding distracted driving and fuel efficient driving tips. Results over the past ten years of this effort have been outstanding.
Ford DSFL helps drivers improve their skills in four key areas that are critical factors in more than 60% of vehicle crashes including the below activities;
- Brake distance recognition A.B.S and E.B.D
- Hi Jack Management
- 4 X 4 Driving
- Drunk driving simulation exercise
- Distracted and Impaired Driving
4X4 DAY
OUT IN THE WILD
When we launched the New Ranger just over two months ago it was only fitting that we make a date to take this amazing vehicle out on the dirt road for a little fun. And man did we show off? Our fleet department was unable to share in on the fun at our dealer launch therefore making a day specifically for our fleet customers was absolutely key. De Wildt 4X4 Game Farm was the chosen and perfect location, joining us was our partners at Indwe Risk Services our official partners on the day. CMH Ford Hatfield together with Indwe Risk Services invited a total of 30 of their corporate customers out to enjoy this amazing experience. Relevant tracks were identified, and the guests were split into groups of four. We decided to give our corporate customers the best of both worlds by allowing them to drive both the New Ford Ranger 2litre Bi-Turbo Auto and the previous shape 3.2 Ford Ranger XLT Auto. The idea was to highlight some of the differences in the newer model as opposed to the older model. Our clients were blown away by the capability of this amazing bakkie, with the instructors of the day showing off features like the div-lock, traction control etc. If you have not taken time to test drive the New Ford Ranger 2Litre Bi ”“ Turbo, do yourself a favour and book your test drive with us. We promise you that you will not be disappointed! Visit out website for more information:https://cmhford.co.za/hatfield/Used Car F&I Manager Christine Theunissen

Texting While Driving? It's Like Driving with Your Eyes Closed
- Talking on cell phones - handheld or hands-free - affects our driving
- Hands-free devices do not eliminate distraction
- It's important to abandon hands-free even though the law permits it
Brain drain
Research shows that the brain cannot handle processing two tasks simultaneously effectively. It can switch between the tasks however your reaction time is diminished while these actions are being performed. Many people think they can do two things at once but it's just not possible to concentrate fully on both simultaneously. Drivers stop monitoring their environment and new drivers in particular aren't in the habit of scanning the road for hazards. Dividing your attention for even a second makes for an even more dangerous combination.
Derek Kirkby, Training Director for Ford's global Driving Skills for Life (DSFL) programme in South Africa, says: "In my experience of training hundreds of drivers, I'd say that even normal, everyday driving uses around 85 per cent of your mental load. Sending one text or selfie, and even talking with a passenger, can overload the brain while driving - increasing the risk of an accident."
"When you're using 85 per cent of your brainpower to drive, your mind isn't capable of doing much else," adds Kirkby. "Regardless of whether you're a professional or new to the road - you will be a safer driver if you understand how much of your brain you're using just to drive the car."

CMH Kempster Ford Umhlanga Bids Farewell to Dealer Principal Clive Wainwright
As 2018 came to an end we bid farewell to one of the best leaders our dealership has had,
Mr Clive Wainwright.
With over 40 years of motor industry experience, Mr Wainwright has decided it is time to retire. Twenty of those years were dedicated to working for Combined Motor Holdings.
Mr Wainwright, began his career as a new car manager and consistently achieved his targets within his department and at the same time treating the staff fairly. He was then promoted to Dealer principal. He took this opportunity to shine and control the entire dealership. Whenever there was in issue or problem that needed attention, Mr Wainwright was the person to go to. He would go over and beyond to ensure problems were resolved.
He also passed on a lot of his knowledge and Guidance to the New car manager Visham Ramsunder whom you can see in the picture below bidding farewell to Mr Wainwright.
In June 2018 we moved to a new premise and ever since then Clive has been busy with renovations and changes. By doing this he created a state of the art dealership as you can see below. In not time with Mr Wainwright’s hard work and dedication the building was finally complete, Mr Wainwright felt that his final task was complete and decided to part ways and go on to retirement. CMH Kempster Ford Umhlanga would like to thank you for your hard work and dedication. All the best and enjoy your retirement .
