CMH Ford Randburg Ranger customers now have access to an enhanced ownership experience with the introduction of FordPass Connect on all new XL, XLS, XLT, Wildtrak and Ranger Raptor models from February 2021 production – as well as the newly launched Ranger FX4.

FordPass Connect is seamlessly paired with the existing vehicle infotainment systems – including the entry-level SYNC®1 system on XL models through to the mid-level Connected Touch Radio (CTR) eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system that incorporates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, or the fully-featured SYNC®3 with Navigation that is fitted as standard on the high-series models.

It can only be driven once the driver inserts the ignition key or presses the ‘Start’ button with the proximity key in the vehicle. A scheduled start can also be programmed for a predetermined time via the FordPass app and can be configured to repeat on selected days throughout the week.

All key vehicle information is available in the FordPass app, including the vehicle identification number (VIN), new vehicle warranty, and Ford Protect Plan. The owner can also check the upcoming service intervals and schedule a service at their preferred dealer with the app linking to the www.myfordjourney.co.za website the facilitate this process.

Throughout the FordPass app, customers have instant access to call Ford’s 24-hour emergency Roadside Assistance, which is valid for a period of three years/unlimited distance and is provided by the Automobile Association (AA).

The app provides extensive additional resources for customers, including how-to videos explaining features and technologies in the Ranger, digital Owner’s Manual, and an Alerts Guide addressing a number of issues such as water in fuel, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) warning, and numerous other warning messages.

FordPass Guide: When you need help, a friendly FordPass Guide is there to offer one-on-one assistance via phone or e-mail, directly from the app.

Over-the-air updates:

FordPass Connect enables over-the-air (OTA) modem software updates seamlessly via the embedded modem to keep the vehicle current with new technology, performance and safety by wirelessly delivering new features and quality enhancements – without requiring a visit to a dealer or service centre.

If we have ever been known as a resilient nation, the month of July 2021 has proven this statement to be true. With riots and looting going on all over but mainly affecting KZN and Gauteng we had to close some dealerships in KZN. However, we all bounced back very quickly and with the support of CMH we have picked up the pieces and strive to do even better in the coming months.

Amongst all of this, we were still able to celebrate 3 of our staff members birthdays, one being our DP Werner Van Zyl and the other two being Ryan Mckee - New Cars Sales Manager and Kyle Erasmus – Pre-owned Sales Executive. Although times were very difficult, we made these days special for them and decorated the office with balloons and handed over a gift to each one. Birthdays are special and need to be celebrated.

A very proud moment also took place during the month of July when CMH Ford Hatfield handed over the Ford Ranger Wildtrak to Rosh Schoeman who is the Director of Woodhill Residential Estate and Country Club. We are proud to be the sponsors of this vehicle to Rosh.

The limited-edition Mustang Mach 1 is coming to our shores, with only 90 units allocated in South Africa. That is a 5.0L V8, with 338kW of power and 529Nm of torque perfectly wrapped in a body built for performance. The beast is coming, and it is beautiful. #MustangMach1

The New Ford Mustang Mach 1 leaves no room for humility, its loud heritage and innovative prowess is evident from a mile away. Equipped with a 5.0 litre V8 all-aluminium engine, 450 hp/ 343kw and a peak torque of 529Nm the Mach 1 is a beast unto its own and carries the technology to support it. Strapped with electric power-assisted steering (EPAS) software, the Mach 1 still takes the trophy over the most gruesome curves and bends, offering the precise steering of any Mustang to date.

The Ford Mach 1 is a performance-oriented option package of the Ford Mustang, originally introduced in August 1968 for the 1969 model year. ... As part of a Ford heritage program, the Mach 1 package returned in 2003 as a high-performance version of the New Edge platform. The advanced Ford 10-speed automatic transmission includes an upgraded torque converter and unique calibration for Mach 1, optimising torque capability shift character and overall power and performance with half the effort. The front and side grill provide improved cooling performance for such a hard-working machine. So, how does the new 2021 Mach 1 split the difference between the Mustang GT and the top-rung Shelby model? The 2021 Mach 1 may have the same 5.0-litre V8, but it pulls out 20 more ponies than a standard Mustang GT thanks largely to a revised intake manifold, oil filter adapter, and engine oil cooler.

Enquire now about the All-new Ford Mustang Mach 1, it’s a whole new league.

As the world’s best-selling sports car, the iconic Ford Mustang range in South Africa will soon be bolstered by a very special and exclusive model – the Mach 1 Fastback coupé, which is the pinnacle of Mustang 5.0-litre V8 style and performance. The unrivalled exclusivity of the Mustang Mach 1 will be guaranteed, as only 90 units are available for the South African market.

Accordingly, the limited-edition Mustang Mach 1 becomes the most track-capable 5.0-litre Mustang yet, courtesy of a newly designed front end, plus Ford Performance parts derived from the Mustang Shelby GT350 and Shelby GT500 models.

The performance of the specially calibrated 5.0-litre V8 engine matches that of the revered Mustang Bullitt, producing 338kW of power and 529Nm of torque. Mach 1 buyers that desire the most engaging driving experience can select the high-performance six-speed manual transmission derived from the Shelby GT350, or there’s the option of Ford’s high-tech 10-speed automatic. Both transmissions receive numerous performances, cooling and calibration enhancements that are specific to the Mach 1.

Visually, the Mach 1 is easily identifiable as a truly special, track-focused machine – most notably by the bold Mach 1 grille that pays tribute to the original, along with extensive use of low-gloss Magnetic dark grey and black accents.

New 19-inch five-spoke Tarnished Dark-painted aluminium wheels are a modern interpretation of the classic Mach 1 Magnum 500 style wheels, fitted with 255/40R19 tyres in front and 275/40R19 versions at the rear, giving the Mach 1 a sportier, more aggressive demeanour and enhanced handling prowess.

To further improve ride and handling, the Mach 1 features the latest MagneRide adaptive suspension, new performance-oriented electric power steering calibration, stiffer sway bars and front springs, an upgraded brake booster, a rear subframe with stiffer bushings and a rear toe-link from the Shelby GT500. And, as expected of a track-focused Mustang, the available Drive Modes includes a Track mode and Track Apps with Launch Control.

All units destined for South Africa are painted in distinctive metallic Fighter Jet Grey with the Appearance Package as standard, which will make the Mach 1 instantly recognisable. Other distinctive elements include satin black bonnet and side stripes with orange accents and orange-painted brake callipers. Additionally, the front fenders feature the legendary ‘Mach 1’ badging, which reaffirms this model’s iconic lineage.

The same theme is carried through to the cabin thanks to orange seatback accents and a Dark Spindrift instrument panel with aluminium accents. Other interior upgrades include new door sill plates, an updated splash screen on the 12.3-inch full LCD instrument cluster, Mach-1-branded door-sill scuff plates, and engraved badging on the instrument panel that displays the vehicle’s unique chassis number to reinforce its special, limited-edition status.

Timing and pricing for the Mustang Mach 1 in South Africa will be confirmed at a later stage.
