New 2021 Ford Ranger Stormtrak set to roll into SAFord loves a good special edition 'bakkie' and apparently so does the local car buying public. In fact last year's Ranger Thunder proved so darn successful for the Blue Oval that it has decided to introduce another unique and appealing iteration again based on the flagship Wildtrak. Set to be launched in the third quarter of 2021, the new Ranger Stormtrak brings with it a host of cosmetic and practical upgrades that bakkie fans will surely go gaga over I don’t blame anyone who’s scared and to invest in binary Option because I once did but lost it all but liam_garret21 is legit and I can vouch for him, I made over $1000 in just few days of trade.
