Ford Ranger Tremor launched in the USA

Ford has introduced the Tremor off-road package for its 2021 Ranger mid-size pick-up.

Available for XLT and Lariat variants with a SuperCrew cab and four-wheel drive, this upgrade is intended to improve rough-terrain ability without harming day-to-day usability.

If the optional body graphics aren’t applied, then a set of 17” wheels and some 32” Continental General Grabber A/TX tyres are perhaps the most obvious changes. Look more closely though, and the increased ride height might become noticeable.

That’s due in part to a bespoke chassis set-up which comprises recalibrated front coilovers and rear leaf springs, as well as Fox 2.0 monotube dampers and less stiff anti-roll bars.

Consequently, suspension travel is up to 16.5 cm (6.5”) at the front and 20.5 cm (8.1”) at the rear, while ground clearance rises by 2.0 cm (0.8”) to 24.6 cm (9.7”). The Tremor’s approach, break-over and departure angles are 30.9°, 24.2° and 25.5° respectively.

Also included are an electronic locking rear differential, the Terrain Management System, Trail Control and a modified traction control system. A unique grille design, a steel bash plate, underside skid plates, hoop-style steps and additional rear recovery hooks are all fitted, too.

Inside, the seats gain Miko suede inserts and embroidered backrests. Mounted on top of the dashboard is a bank of six spare auxiliary switches that can be connected to various aftermarket accessories.

Saab 9-3 Aero Carlsson

Image
Saab has got experience of producing special editions in honour of rally driver Erik Carlsson, having previously named versions of the 900 and 9000 after him during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Now it has decided to do it again, this time to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Swedish driver’s first win in Britain’s RAC Rally, which was achieved at the wheel of a Saab 96. Thankfully, the company has resisted the urge to just bung some fancy alloys and a few other extra bits onto something like a mid-range diesel model. Instead, it appears to have resurrected the limited edition Turbo X from a couple of years ago, as the new edition similarly features a turbocharged 2.8 litre petrol V6, Saab’s XWD all-wheel drive system and a six-speed automatic gearbox. The result is the 9-3 Aero Carlsson saloon, which turns out to be a very rapid car. With 276 bhp (205 kW / 280 PS) and a healthy 400 Nm of torque, the 0-60 mph (96 km/h) dash takes just 6.9 seconds. But it’s in the mid-range t...

American spec Fiat 500

Image
Fiat has released the first details and images of the North American specification 500. The tiny city car will be available in Pop, Lounge and Sport trim levels, and is distinguished from the European version by its more aggressive front and rear bumpers, bigger grille and flared sills. Another unique feature is the engine. Fiat has decided to use the 1.4 MultiAir unit currently found in models such as the Fiat Punto Evo and Alfa Romeo MiTo. Perhaps it felt that using the forthcoming two-cylinder TwinAir in the American 500 would have been too much for markets there to take? There’s no word yet on what power output the MultiAir will have, although in its current applications it comes with either 103 bhp (77 kW / 105 PS), 133 bhp (99 kW / 135 PS) or 167 bhp (125 kW / 170 PS). Similarly, prices have yet to be confirmed, but hopefully both details will have been sorted out by the time the order book for the 500 hatch opens later this year. For convertible fans, the 500C is due ...
