This customer wanted the interior room of the Space Cab but needed the tray length of a Single Cab to fit their Wedgetail slide-on camper.

By adding our +𝟯𝟭𝟬𝗺𝗺 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻, they got a full 2.4m tray with the perfect wheelbase to match. Shifting that axle back means the weight of the camper sits beautifully between the wheels, making the drive smooth, stable, and ready for any corrugated track.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀:

✅ Fits a 2440mm Single Cab tray
✅ Perfect balance for heavy slide-on campers
✅ Rock-solid handling on the highway

Is this the ultimate touring setup?

We love a BT-50, but we love them even more with an extra 310mm of stability. This extension means you can fit a 2187mm tray on a Dual Cab, perfect for those heavy slide-on campers. No more sagging, just smooth sailing to the Red Center.

Our Amarok XL wheelbase extension of 298mm allows the larger tray capacity of 2100+mm in length, creating the foundation for the Tommy Camper S6X slide-on camper while improving load distribution and overall vehicle balance.

This vehicle is now on display at Southern Volkswagen Reynella, so if you've been considering a premium touring setup, its a perfect opportunity to go see it in person.

Always good to see our builds out and about across the country.

Captured at Mullengandra, just north of Albury on the way home from a Victorian trip, Len’s Ford Ranger LWB with HiDrive canopy, towing their caravan with ease.

Thanks for sending this through, Len. We appreciate you sharing your journey and hope there are plenty more adventures ahead!

Nothing better than seeing our builds out doing exactly what they’re made for !

From Tassie to WA and back via the Tanami — 25,000km of real adventure in this Amarok XL, carrying a slide-on camper and even towing a 5m boat back home.

We love seeing our customers getting out there, using their extended Utes the way they should be — 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲, 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆.

Rod, thanks for sharing your trip with us, and we wish you many more great adventures ahead!

Great to be back in Adelaide after a successful QLD roadshow with the Ford Ranger LWB, here are some Highlights from the visits.

We had the chance to visit a number of Ford dealerships, showcase the Ranger LWB in person, and connect with some great teams along the way. The feedback has been incredibly positive, with strong interest across both retail and fleet.

A big thank you to all the dealerships who took the time to meet with us, we appreciate the support and look forward to what’s ahead.

QLD roadshow wrapped up and we made it back to Adelaide.

What a great opportunity to get out on the ground with Peter, meeting with Ford dealers across Queensland and showcasing the Ranger LWB in person.

The feedback was consistent , most people couldn’t even tell the vehicle had been extended, which speaks volumes about the OEM-level finish we’re delivering as a Ford Pro Convertor.

There’s strong interest across both retail and fleet, and it’s clear there’s a real opportunity for customers to order the Ranger LWB directly through their local Ford dealer network.

Plenty more to come as we continue building momentum, with Super Duty LWB not far away.

QLD Dealer Roadshow – Sunshine Coast

Peter and I spent the day visiting the Pacific Ford Dealer Network across Caloundra, Maroochydore & Noosa — and the response has been fantastic.

All dealerships are now equipped with everything they need to support customers ordering a Ford Pro Convertor Ranger LWB through their local Ford dealer.

Big step forward in expanding access to the Ranger LWB across the network.

More updates to come as we continue the roadshow
