Ford brings 'A-game' to Fieldays
MYSTERY CREEK, NEW ZEALAND, 14 June 2017 –Whatever field you’re in Ford has the perfect vehicle for you. That is this year’s promotion from Ford New Zealand and judging from the variety of Fords at Fieldays, it’s true.
Ford New Zealand has brought its 'A game' to Fieldays 2017 with a number of vehicle dressed to impress!
Ford Rangers and the Ford SUV lineup showcase the many ways in which Kiwis enjoy spending their time, including fishing pro and world record holder Nicky Sinden’s Ranger Wildtrak and Extreme 750 taking pride of place amongst the many Fords. And inspiring Fieldays visitors to literally Go Further, Feldon Shelter will have one of its innovative rooftop tents on display with a Ford Everest.
“We wanted to display the many ways Ford does take you further – be it through the super-efficient Mondeo Hybrid, up the mountain in a new Ford Escape or around the track in the Mustang GT,” said Cameron Thomas, Marketing Manager. “Ford has always been about offering vehicles that are more than just something to get you from A to B and you can see that at this year’s Ford Fieldays stand.”
Ford will for the first time be selling vehicles at the stand. The Ford team will still be operating under the same ‘no pressure, friendly place to visit and chat’ mantra and invite everyone to come by and say hello. But for those who are keen to purchase on the day, that option will now be available.
