Eastern Cape Motors Partners With Red Cherry Events

As Red Cherry Events gears up for an exciting 2025, the partnership with Eastern Cape Motors (ECM) and their flagship brand, Ford, marks a significant milestone. For the last quarter of 2024 onwards, Eastern Cape Motor’s William Moffett Ford dealership will drive the logistics and operations for Red Cherry Events in the Eastern Cape as their official vehicle partner.

This collaboration promises to elevate the efficiency and reliability of Red Cherry Events’ operations, ensuring their events continue to shine across South Africa.

At the heart of this partnership are the rugged and versatile Ford Ranger bakkies, renowned for their durability and performance. For Red Cherry Events, these vehicles have become indispensable, serving as the trusted workhorses for transporting infrastructure to and from a myriad of events. Whether navigating urban streets or traversing the scenic but challenging terrain of South Africa’s wild coast, the Ford Ranger bakkies deliver unmatched reliability. Their impressive load capacity, robust towing capabilities, and all-terrain prowess make them the ideal choice for moving event setups, equipment, and team members efficiently and safely.

The Ford Ranger’s reputation for being built tough and ready for adventure aligns perfectly with the dynamic needs of Red Cherry Events. These bakkies will not only ensure that Red Cherry Events reaches its destinations without a hitch but will also enhance the overall experience by providing a dependable transport solution, no matter where the events are held.

The collaboration between ECM and Red Cherry Events is not new but is evolving into a more formalized partnership. ECM has previously supported Red Cherry Events by sponsoring vehicles for high-profile events such as the Inner City Enduro and the M&G Investments PE PLETT. These events showcased the Ford Rangers’ capabilities and solidified the relationship between ECM and Red Cherry Events.

With the latest Ford Rangers now set to be a prominent feature at upcoming events, this partnership will bring even greater visibility to ECM and their vehicle offerings. Attendees and participants will experience firsthand the reliability and ruggedness of the Ford Rangers, reinforcing ECM’s commitment to quality and performance. As these vehicles take center stage at Red Cherry Events, they will not only assist in logistical operations but also serve as a testament to ECM’s dedication to excellence in automotive solutions.

The alliance between Red Cherry Events and Eastern Cape Motors is a strategic move that enhances the operational effectiveness of Red Cherry Events while spotlighting the exceptional capabilities of the Ford Ranger. As the partnership unfolds, it promises to deliver exceptional results and further solidify the reputation of both Red Cherry Events and ECM in the South African event and automotive landscapes.

Fantastic route and very well organised race. My 5th PEPLETT and definitely not the last. New sections of trails built specifically for the race every year. It just gets better and better.

Gorgeous trails and views, fun but challenging route, with hospitality on point as well. The positive rider comraderie along the 280kms of forest trails and backroads carried us through heatwaves and rainstorms, technicals and tumbles, with stories to tell.

Weekend Warrior Tru-Cape events has become are our ‘must go to stage races’ of the year.
As cheap as you will ever get for a stage race experience.
Day 1- nice & hard with some 'trail fun' reward coming home.
Day 2 - to die for… fun fun fun - berms, jumps & fast flowing dense forest single track that don’t stop (keep them for next year please).
Big shout out to the Endurade water stations - friendliest crew around. Good quality energy & electrolyte drinks & bars. Drinks are ice cold every time every year. Love the solid ‘old style food for champions’ like the bread sandwiches & bananas.
Good food good trails.
Can’t wait for the next one.

Fantastic four days on the MTB. Made extra special by the Red Cherry Team. Thank you once again Mike and Shaun and the rest of the guys and gals for a spectacular few days.

This was my third PEPlett and is was the best by far. The organisation was superb. Getting Food Lovers on board was genius. The villages are well laid out & the staff kept them immaculately clean. The new sections of trail were also a big surprise. You want something challenging but not unsafe. I really enjoyed every day.
You can treat this event as a serious race or, as I prefer, a fantastic ride with good friends with time to stop & take a photo or two.
Mike, Sandy, Shaun & now Jacques are a class act. Definitely be back next year!

If you want to feel special, do the 'M&G' PE Plett.
Our accommodation was excellent and the routes magnificent. Best marked routes ever. You just could not go wrong. Distances and elevation very accurate. Stunning system of where you fit in at start with coloured bands. The vegetation and views made it extra special as well. I will definitely do this event again.
