The generation that has dominated the LCV segment for a decade – with over one million built locally – has reached the penultimate special edition model before the Ranger Raptor SE closes out proceedings ahead of the all-new model’s arrival in 2022.

Ford has seen great success over the years with the T6 Ranger and, like Silverton, tools up and prepares to reveal the next-generation pick-up truck, it has delivered one last hurrah, the Stormtrack. Based on the popular Wildtrak model, this variant sees its own distinctive features tagged onto the exterior and interior.
