What gets you through anything, over everything, all in comfortable style? Why, a Ford Ranger double cab of course! They don’t call this bakkie ’21st century tough’ for nothing, boet! Since the Ford Ranger 2.2 double cab is currently part of our Highway Bakkie Hire rental vehicle fleet, we thought we’d shed some light on what it has under the hood, what you can do with one, and when to consider a Ford Ranger rental:

What it Can Handle

Apart from drag racing, the Ford Ranger 2.2 double cab can do pretty much anything! The interior is luxuriously designed to make you feel like you’re in a sedan while driving – you’re just higher off of the ground. Unlike many other double cab bakkies, there actually is space in the back seats for even the lankiest of teenagers.
The convenient side rails are perfect for getting Granny Sue on board without displacing her hip, or for shorter drivers who struggle to clamour into high vehicles. Whether bush-whacking or cruising along smooth tar, the Ford Ranger is designed to take you where you need to go – in style.

When to Rent One

Thinking about a Ford Ranger rental for your next family holiday? Why not, she’s a beauty! A double cab bakkie rental is ideal for:

• Family camping trips
• Navigating game reserves
• Self-driven safaris
• Transporting heavy goods

In a nutshell, a Ford Ranger rental is ideal when having to go off-road, or on rural dirt roads, as well as when you might have more than a reasonable amount of luggage to haul.
