Sime Darby Auto Connexion (SDAC), the official importer and distributor of Ford vehicles in Malaysia, has launched a brand new Ford podcast – a first of its kind in the local automotive industry. Titled “Ford Malaysia: Built for Life," this six-episode podcast series is set to go live starting January 28 this year.

This new podcast will delve deep into the world of the Ford Ranger in Malaysia, where Ranger owners and car enthusiasts can discover new and unique insights into the Ranger lifestyle. Rather than focusing on technical specifications and industry-related information, this podcast will tap into the human aspect of Ford ownership.

Commenting on this new podcast launch, SDAC-Ford MD Turse Zuhair said, “The title of our new podcast, ‘Ford Malaysia: Built for Life’, is not just a catchy phrase.

It symbolises more than a vehicle; it embodies the Ranger way of life – one that embraces adventure, resilience, the spirit of exploration, and an innate sense of community.”

“It aims to foster a sense of belonging and comradeship among Ranger enthusiasts and other individuals on the same wavelength, offering a captivating journey into the heart of the Ranger experience – one that is built not just for the road but for life itself,” said Turse.
