Amongst all of this, we were still able to celebrate 3 of our staff members birthdays, one being our DP Werner Van Zyl and the other two being Ryan Mckee - New Cars Sales Manager and Kyle Erasmus ”“ Pre-owned Sales Executive. Although times were very difficult, we made these days special for them and decorated the office with balloons and handed over a gift to each one. Birthdays are special and need to be celebrated.

We are so thrilled to announce that the new Ranger FX4 has arrived at CMH Ford Gezina! It has been an exciting past year with Ford and the Ranger family grew significantly in the past few months with the introduction of the Ranger Thunder (based on the WIldtrak) and the Ranger XL Sport. I’m sure you are aware of how unique, eye-catching and kitted-out the new Ranger members are, and let me tell you, the Ranger FX4 are also here to turn some heads and to stand out from the crowd.

The FX4 slots in just below the Thunder and Wildtrak models and just above the Ranger XLT on which it is based. It is exclusively available with the 2.0L Single Turbo powertrain mated with a ten-speed automatic transmission and in Double Cab only with the choice of 4x2 or 4x4.

It has a unique identity with a new Ebony Black mesh grille, an extended sports bar with matching Ebony Black exterior mirrors, door handles and tailgate handle. Some other exterior features include new 18-inch black alloy wheels, darkened LED headlamps, FX4 side decals and a 3D badge on the tailgate which gives this truck a bold and tough look, ready to hit the road or some heavy 4x4 trails.

The FX4 interior features include a leather soft topper on the dash with red stitching, new partial leather seats with FX4 logos and red stitching, a mirror mounted USB port to make every dash cam user’s life easier to power it without messy cables (you’re welcome), and lastly a drop-in bedliner with a power socket at the back.

Buyers can choose from five colours:

• Frozen White
• Sea Grey

• Moondust Silver

Introducing the FordPass ”“ The app for Ford owners

Ford Ranger FX4 customers will be part of the first group to have access to an enhanced ownership experience with the introduction of the FordPass Connect app. Unlock a new world of services conveniently available in the palm of your hand and experience a new way of communicating with your Ford. Using an implanted modem in the vehicle, a whole range of features are enabled on the owner’s smartphone.

We recently had the opportunity to invite our clients once again to a 4×4 off-road training day held at Killarney 4x4 Trail. Our clients get to enjoy the day out with us and learn more about their 4×4 vehicles. The practical knowledge and exposure to suitable terrain and to learn more always proves to be a huge hit with our clients.

The day started with a drive through Shongweni Valley, the views and sounds of the mountains were incredible. We all met at the Killarney Trail at 08:00 am our instructor, Travis, started by introducing our customers to a basic 4×4 track day, he showed us the basics of 4×4 driving and the controls on how to recover the vehicle safely, should they get stuck. We then went up and down some steep hills and over a few challenging obstacles.

More 4×4 Challenges

The second part of the course involved the ’Slippery’ hill with the wet terrain it sure proved to be a test for our learning clients, which they all passed with flying colours. Our day progressed to the challenge on the two railings, where you must very carefully line up your wheels perfectly on the two rails and drive from one side to the other without sliding off. This proved very difficult, but all the customers managed to achieve this obstacle with absolute confidence.

After the exhilarating experience on the tracks, everybody came back on-site and had pre-packed picnic baskets as no braais / large gatherings are permissible due to COVID-19. Our clients had the pleasure of using the trail for the entire day and some clients were more than eager to go back out alone in the mountains. The aim of the day? For our clients to learn as much as they can about their vehicles and leaving the day with pride and confidence in their 4X4. We would highly recommend this to all that have 4×4 vehicles, this was such an adventurous and fun-filled day out with our family and loyal customers.

As a dealership that has been running since 1924, you can imagine how we do need to shift, refocus, and adjust now and then to uphold the experience and the service rendered to our guests. The process was not an easy one as it took dedication, teamwork, and smart work and being goal-orientated, there was a lot of shifting, improving, and introducing of new processes to improve the experience of guests at CMH Steyns Ford Pretoria.

What more can we say, we came together as a team and with the help of our coaches we are now certified as the Ford guest experience dealership and we could not be prouder of ourselves and the work we put in.

The certification ceremony took place on the 7th of April 2021 at CMH Steyns Ford Pretoria, we had the time of our lives as a team and as we came together for the same goal, we then came together to celebrate being certified and every one of our team had a signature moment where we committed to the Ford Guest Experience!

The whole ceremony was put perfectly in place and it was such a special afternoon for us. We had a catering company and were served a three-course meal with beverages.

What matters most to us as a dealership is how we sustain all the processes and always keep the standards in place.
