Ford 4-Trac concept
Thailand is the world's second largest market for pick-ups after the United States. It is in the nation's capital, Bangkok, that Ford has decided to unveil their 4-Trac concept at the Thailand International Motor Expo. Using the 'Built Ford Tough' philosophy, the 4-Trac blends ruggedness and sophistication to increase its appeal as workhorse and family car respectively. Outside, aluminium panels keep corrosion to a minimum, the body fronted by a dominant three-bar grille bearing a large blue oval. At the back, the cargo area has storage units inspired by off-shore racers, and is accessible from within the cabin. The 4-Trac concept is presented in lustrous red paint with a 'rescue' theme, with numerous tie-down points and foldable tow-hooks and a winch at the front.

Seems kind of odd they would introduce that in Thailand.

Something tells me that a practical, stripped down previous gen 4 cylinder Ranger pickup would be more popular in a country like Thailand than a chromed out oversized retarded monster truck like we drive here.

THailand is the world's second largest market for pick ups, according to the article. However most vehicles produced and sold there remain in the South East Asian market. . .
