Ulterio Motiv has showcased its Ford Ranger 6×4 in Cape Town. Pricing for this conversion below.
Armoured vehicle specialist SVI Engineering’s Ulterio Motiv sister company recently showcased its 6×6 Toyota Land Cruiser bakkie conversion. However, that’s not all vehicle the South African company previewed to media. Ulterio Motive also demonstrated the prowess of its 6×4 Ford Ranger.
Based on the 2.0 SiT Super Cab 4×4 automatic derivative, while a 6×6 conversion is also available for the single-cab 4×4 variant, the 6×4 model was designed for a wide variety of applications, including camping, commercial, emergency, and skip carrying. The conversion comprises extending the donor car’s chassis to accommodate the non-driven third axle, which gains a set of disc brakes and an electric handbrake.
The aft suspension’s bogie system puts 40% of rear mass on the third axle and 60% of the load mass on the middle axle (driven wheels). The loading capacity has been increased to two tonnes. The 6×4 Ranger Super Cab has a kerb weight of approximately 2 500 kg and a gross vehicle mass of 4 500 kg. So, to drive this three-axle bakkie on public roads, you’ll need a C1 driver’s license. The variant you see here has been equipped with a custom drop-side load bed, which is 1 600 mm wide and 2 500 mm long.
