2020 Ford Ranger to Offer Budget FX2 Off-Road Package


Ford is expanding the way shoppers can personalize the 2020 Ranger with an FX2 off-road package for two-wheel-drive versions of the new-to-us mid-size pickup. Like the Ford Ranger's FX4 Off-Road Package that's already available, FX2 buyers will get off-road-tuned shocks, knobbier tires, an electronic-locking rear differential, front air dam delete and underbody protection as well as an off-road display on the instrument panel display. There just won't be four-wheel drive nor the off-road driving modes that come with the four-wheel-drive FX4.

The Ranger FX2 Package will cost $595, or $700 less than the FX4 package, and in addition to driving two fewer wheels, Rangers with FX2 don't include the FX4's Terrain Management driving modes or Trail Control system. Ford is targeting a buyer who wants the tougher looks of an off-road truck but doesn't need to spend extra to get four-wheel drive. We were recently impressed by the effectiveness of the FX4 package on an F-250, and while an FX2 Ranger will only be sending power through the rear wheels, the package should still improve its off-road capabilities versus one without the package.

According to Ford, Ranger buyers want more personalization options, as approximately two-thirds of buyers are opting for either the Sport, Chrome or STX appearance packages. One-third of Ranger buyers are adding the FX4 package. The FX2 off-road package on the 2020 Ford Ranger can be ordered now with Ford expecting to begin deliveries in "late 2019."

Hire a refrigerated van fleet to access great service at minimal cost

Image
Vehicle acquisition makes up a huge part of business fleet costs, particularly when that fleet operates within a cold chain. In this blog, we examine why   refrigerated truck rental   holds the key to acquiring high-quality service at a low cost. Why choose refrigerated vans? First thing’s first - which vehicle model is best for your business needs? Needless to say, there is a healthy demand for refrigerated HGVS. However, for many small businesses operating a cold chain, refrigerated vans can pose the best solution. Refrigerated transport is often used for relatively small loads - such as online food shopping, events catering, or fresh produce deliveries to small stores. In each of these situations, a refrigerated van may be the most suitably sized vehicle. On top of this, congestion on the roads is getting worse. Research by the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) found that vehicle traffic has increased by 5% since 2000, while the length of the road netwo...

Anheuser-Busch to add 21 BYD electric delivery trucks to California fleets

Image
It seems Anheuser-Busch is set on trying every type of alternative-fuel-powered delivery truck available. In 2017, A-B announced it had ordered 40 electric Tesla semi-trucks. In 2018, A-B said it ordered as many as 800 hydrogen Nikola Motor Company semis. And in 2019, A-B says it is adding 21 battery-electric semis to its distribution fleet, this time from Chinese manufacturer Build Your Dreams (BYD). The introduction of the electric trucks is part of a collaboration between A-B, BYD, the Center for Transportation and the Environment (CTE), and ENGIE Services U.S. It's called the Zero-Emission Beverage Handling and Distribution at Scale project, and it aims to "demonstrate how to reach zero-emissions across the range of activities at AB distribution facilities with minimal modifications to fleet logistics." A-B claims this will be the largest Class 8 electric truck deployment in North America. The trucks and their charging gear will be used at four...

Refrigerated Vans for Deliveries and Trailers for Storage

Image
Several news articles published this past spring described the good work of a well-known online supermarket that donated refrigerated vans to local food charities. What the company did was both honorable and very helpful to the charities in question. News reports explained that the purpose of the donations was to give food charities the means of delivering more fresh foods – like perishable fruits, vegetables, and meats – to recipients rather than just canned and dry goods. That is a great goal to pursue. Hopefully the food charities are not using the vans for storage as well. In short, refrigerated vans are for deliveries while refrigerated trailers are for storage. There really is no comparison when you are looking at a cold storage solution for more than a couple of hours at a time. Trailers Offer More Capacity One of the first things to note about refrigerated trailers is that, compared to refrigerated van hire, they offer more c...
