Join me for a look at this exciting new Ford Ranger Sport V6 2023 including my first drive with the V6 turbo diesel engine.
This new Ford Ranger Sport V6 2023 is a big update over the outgoing model, with more safety features, better technology, new engine options, and a better driving experience.

FF to 21minutes for the driving impressions. You're welcome.
@sherwin chia But you’ll miss all the information about the car itself
Should have time stamps though
@Jimmy R do you find them useful then?
@@WebbyOnCars everyone knows all the other information as they have been bombed with ads for months now, what are the delivery times like now?
@@WebbyOnCars I guess in the lead up to this video, most viewers have already seen tonnes of footage that shows the new features of the ranger and everest. Yours was probably the second one I've seen with driving footage of the v6.
(The first being a Filipino review of the 2.0 bi-turbo ranger)
Finally someone has shown the actual interior and tech specs thank you!
@Shayne Dixon No worries at all, I hope you enjoyed the video.
I got the ranger sport v6 in my hands today and it’s nothing short of amazing! I’m so delighted with it.🎉
@Paradoxical124 Congratulations! I’m really pleased to hear you’re enjoying it already.
@@WebbyOnCars Thanks to your videos I knew the ranger was the right choice for me. Cheers Webby!
I drove one 2 days ago, it really is great to drive. It's a big improvement to the suspension and steering.
@Doug Nixon I think a lot of people will be pleasantly surprised how good the new model is
More 2022 Ranger videos here ruclips.net/p/PLTtqMq46Dtc4U0Tx9E2-d3gihubrEAny0
Just looked at one in person. It's pretty impressive. Feels much higher quality than the last model. The touch screen is really good, and because they have actually bothered to keep knobs for the volume and temperature, it's not always required to touch it. Someone finally decided to put the start/stop button where a key used to go on the RHS of the steering wheel... brilliant, the left hand side is bulk annoying on most cars. No stupid annoying kick-down switch on the accelerator pedal, which is another annoyance of mine on somthing when WOT can be read of the TPS. Built in trailer brake controler is great. Dissapointlingly no 230v outlets that I could see.
The front end styling does "look tough", but somehow looks overdone between the top and bottom half. Also, the squared off front must seriously of runined aero dynamics compared to the last model front, and also reduced visability beyond the bonnet all in the name of looks.
Overall, it should be a great vehicle.
@Zoltrix77 I agree with all of that! It’s such an impressive car all round!
I can guarantee you that a 230v will be an option. Probably just not optioned on this truck.
I have a 21' Ranger which I really like, but the inside of this truck is much nicer.
@@myyoutubename152 hopefully they’ll bring back the 230V outlet once they’ve sorted out the design issue.
I'm glad to see Ford bringing back the old school interior door handles. I have the same pull style door handle in my 85 E350
@Quinn R Gotta have something retro on such a modern car. Mercedes are often inventing things that everyone else implements years later
I’m driving ‘21 F250 Lariat powerstroke and I love seeing this younger brother dressed fancy! Ford nailed it with this one!
@Mat Bob It looks great doesn't it!
Great Review, showed the whole vehicle and many of the features from a common sense viewpoint, i.e. what works and what doesn't. The larger screen looks good compared the the previous model. The inclusion of the trailer brake is a great option as many of the ranger owner are towing caravans. Would appreciate if you could comment in a future review on where accessories such as driving light switches and a UHF radio outlet can be fitted to the Ranger and the new Everest, this seem to have been forgotten by the Ford Engineers. On my current Ranger PX3 I had to fit a Lightforce panel were the USB and 12V sockets are in the centre console. Overall very good review and looking forward to more in the future.
@Janice South Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I'm looking to do some wotk with my local ARB outlet to look at some of the accessories available for the new Ranger.
I have a video of the new Ranger Wildtrak being released on Tuesday.
The new raptor has a bunch of accessory switchs above the mirror in the roof lineing
This is the first video of yours that I have watched - great info and easy to follow. They do look good in the metal, the blue in the Sport looks nice. Just wondering if you are doing a detailed review of the wildtrack in a v6?
Looking forward to more of your videos.
@Travis Parsi Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it. I haven’t seen one in blue yet, but I imagine it would look good.
I’m currently in the middle of editing a video on the wildtrak but with the BiTurbo engine. It will be out on Tuesday
Thanks for the review Webby! Fantastic insight as always mate.
@Josh Riley Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed the video
Great and clear information. Thank you.Can you please advise If you have a tow test for the V6.
@Leonard Leary Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I’m looking into doing a towing video so hopefully I’ll be able to arrange it soon
Great review Webby. You have given a very good explanation of the car in particularly for somebody like me who is thus far a non Ford owner but can be tempted is the vehicle is what I want. Of particular note the angle of the entertainment unit which is relatively upright reducing the chances of sun glare restricting view of that screen which I found is the case on some of the other brand current models is a problem. The action of the transmission shifter of returning to park when left out of that position when you turn the engine off is very clever and would have to be explained to all new owners otherwise the dealers will be bombarded with please explain calls from customers who do not read their vehicle manual and that would be most of us I reckon.. My local dealer has advertised come and see day for new Ranger this Saturday and I will be now doing so as your very comprehensive revue had made me aware of what the vehicle has re equipment and I have to say I am impressed. Note I would be a 1st time Ford buyer if I pull the trigger but your revue may help change that.
@Ken Lowdon Thank you for your great feedback, I’m glad my video has helped in your decision making process. I’m sure you’ll be impressed once you see the new Ranger and again when you drive it.
With new technology coming out all the time customers often contact me after delivery as they’ve forgotten how to work something.
I’ll be making some more videos on how to use some of the features on the new Ranger like the sync4 infotainment system.
If there’s anything you’d like a video about let me know and I’ll see what I can do
I’m driving this car and the only thing that has me concerned is the lack of tachometer in the display. I purchased the car specifically for towing the caravan and would like to see engine RPM and select gears as required to get maximum torque towing uphill. Please advise if there is a setup procedure for displaying the tachometer. Enjoying your presentation.Cheers .
@gregorywilson8445 Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. You can add a rev counter to the driver display by accessing the settings on the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel.
Press the menu button, then scroll down to 'settings' then you will see options to choose what you want displayed on the left and right side of the drivers display.
Hope this helps.
Looks bloody brilliant. Decked out with a decent snorkel, side steps, bull bar , driving lights & a different set of tyres & a canopy will make this one very desirable rig.
@Steve I agree. Even just a set of all terrain tyres makes a difference. It’ll be good to see one with the accessories you’ve mentioned though
Great video Paul... cant wait for a particular review in a month or two.
Keep up the great work.
@willowgolf Thanks Dave, I’m looking forward to driving the new Everest.
Great video really awesome to see a real walk around and review just curious have ford finally put ventilated/cooled seats in the new rangers or is it just heated seats
@Jayden D Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Only heated seats in the Ranger and limited to Wildtrak and Raptor models.
Update on my ranger sport: it’s actually already arrived at the dealership Apparently!! I can’t believe that the delivery is 3 months early. Excellent job ford, I’m so excited!
@Paradoxical124 Congratulations, you'll love it!
Great episode
Have they changed the 10 speed transmission, form the previous model, because they had a few problems with it and I am hoping it’s all fixed.
Thanks
@Paul Tabone The 10 speed auto feel a bit better in the new model, and seems to suit the V6 really well too
Finally you don't knock over your coffee when you grab the gear shifter
@Joe Bradley They clearly put some thought into the placement of the cup holders which is good news!
Nice video thanks Do the rear seats fold up or down ? and is there a sunglasses holder in the roof above the rear view mirror have one on order they tell me arriving end of the month looking forward the experience
@Mal Husband Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed it. The base of the rear seat folds up and there are a couple of storage bins underneath, the back folds down as there is a bit of space behind that too.
Yes, there is a sunglasses holder in the roof.
Congratulations on your new car, you’ll love it!
Ordered mine a week ago. Cant wait for the this beast to arrive
@Josh Bissett Congratulations, you’ll love it!
Thanks for a great video. I've got a sport v6 diesel on order so I was really interested in the info in this video and now I'm even more excited for it
@Darwonboy Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed it. Congratulations on your new car, you’ll love it!
Those interior door handles remind me of the ones on an XT-XY Falcon, same squeeze type action. Retro!
@Gerry M Can’t beat a bit of retro! They work really well too!
Keeping actual buttons and nobs for essentials like AC and volume is a massive win!
@Aaron I agree, it makes life so much easier.
Beautiful! Can't beat these trucks.
@David Klimmek I agree!
Just ordered a sport to tow our caravan, going Ford after twenty years of Toyotas
.
@Barry J Pierce The V6 makes a great tow vehicle, congratulations
A fantastic informative review. Showed everything I wanted to see. Thank you.
@Dave Hark Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it and found it useful. My Wildtrak video comes out on Tuesday if you want to watch that too.
Hello Webby, I am so happy to find your RUclips channel.
I am disgusted with the way Ford has drip fed the people purchasing the Next gen Ranger.
The old Ford site was really good for adding extras to the build.
I have spent the best part of 18 months moving the company I work for from Triton to Rangers.
It has been very hard to spec a XLT cab chassis with up grades though a car broker when the dealers have no idea what
extra options are available for the Ranger.
Ford should have had there Web site ready for the public when we could place orders.
I will be receiving our first company XLT cab chassis in September. (Yes its mine)
I have forward all of you videos to my Techs through out Australia that will be receiving Next gen Rangers.
Keep up the great work, your attention to detail is great.
Looking forward to the touch screen video.
Thank you.
@Darren O'Brien Thank you for watching my video, and also sharing it with all your employees. It's great to hear that you're switching your fleet of vehicles over to Rangers!
Unfortunately, Ford haven't managed the launch of the new Ranger very well at all, which is very frustrating for everyone, including us that work at dealerships.
I'm currently working on the other videos for the new Ranger so hopefully they will be out quite soon.
Thanks.
Mine arrives next week.
@nigelclatworthy8468 Congratulations, you'll love it!
Thanks for the review Paul just wondering have ford put a transmission cooler or are they still using a heat exchanger as the per model.
@flyflagaus Just trying to find out for you then I’ll come back to you
Hi Paul. Fantastic review! Car looks great. Can’t wait for the Wildtrack I ordered. Since you have the demos in I will give you a call this week to schedule a test drive. Cheers!
@Piotr Przylucki Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
Once you’ve driven it you’ll be looking forward to your car arriving even more!
I have worked in sales for 25 years... that was salesman code for you already ordered one, so what would test driving do at this point... aka thinking.. . please don't bother me . 😄 Respect for others time is definitely rare these days. Reminds me of watching a guy doing a video with a new Bronco with his whole family and he panned to the salesman who was smiling but I could tell he was really saying get me the heck out of here. I couldn't imagine being in car sales nowadays where everyone is a professional reviewer 🙄
@@INVERTEDBUKAKI haha I haven’t ordered one myself but I’ve definitely sold plenty.
Customers definitely know more information when they go to dealerships these days, although with this new Ranger Ford hasn’t put much information out there meaning we still get to be sales people which I quite enjoy.
I have a Ford Ranger and very much appreciate the fitted 240 volt power out put plug.
@laurie mcgrath Hopefully Ford will add this to the new Ranger soon
This is the exact same spec as mine, except I’ve got a bonnet protector and heat deflectors. It should be arriving In February and i cant wait.
@Paradoxical124 Congratulations, it'll be worth the wait.
Well done for achieving 100+K views on that video in just two days!
I enjoyed the video. The Ranger was the best selling ute in Europe last year with 55,000+ units being sold in Europe. The Ranger was also the best selling ute in New Zealand last year. I’m sure I’ll see a lot of new Rangers here in the UK.
@Dave D’Video Maker Thank you much appreciated.
@@WebbyOnCars No problem.
I am going abroad on Saturday to Continental Europe. I am hopeful to see the new Ranger Raptor on my road trip (note that in Europe the only variant of the new Ranger we currently have is the Raptor).
The regular Ranger will be arriving to Europe next year.
@@DaveDVideoMaker I hope you enjoy your trip, and have a nice time.
@@WebbyOnCars I will be posting some of my car photos over the next few days on IG.
Maybe I’ll be really lucky to find a Ford Bronco or Ford Bronco Sport on the way.
@@DaveDVideoMaker I look forward to seeing them.
Fantastic review and look forward to your Everest reviews. I've got an Everest Sport coming but the Touring Pack is holding it up. Very well presented videos and easy viewing 👌 Keep them coming
@Dave Cole Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed the video, I appreciate your support.
There are lots of delays with some of the optional packs at the minute which is frustrating. I’m looking forward to driving the new Everest and will be making a review video of all the models. Congratulations on your new car, it’ll be worth the wait!
I too, have an Everest Sport on order. Thinking I might change to the Ranger if I don't have to wait too long.....be happy to go with the white instead of the blue if that speeds things up.....
I have ordered the everest sport with touring pack too. do you know how much wait it adds up by opting in for touring pack?
@@preet1979 about 6 months give or take at this point unfortunately
@@darrindouglas1 you’d get a Ranger Sport quicker than an Everest especially if you want the towbar or touring pack on the Everest.
Nice one Webby. Cracking review mate.
Can’t wait for more content!
I’ve got to wait until Nov / Dec for my Raptor…. ☹️🤣
@Paul Jones Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’m looking forward to driving the Raptor, and will be making a video of it too. Congratulations on your new car, it’ll be worth the wait!
Great video yes that is a shame about gas struts on the bonnet considering it was on the old model. I'm looking forward to your review of the wildtrack model do you know pricing for that and do you get much more compared to the sport with touring pack. Cheers keep up the good work
@Ka Fa Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. My Wildtrak video is coming out next week. It has more standard equipment than the Sport like heated seats, all terrain tyres and of course the electric rolltop
When is the wildtrack review coming! Saw a silver one at the dealership, glad I ordered that colour!
@oj jj I’m currently editing that video, and it will go live on Tuesday at 10am (Australian time) as there is a media embargo currently in place, which I didn’t know about when I uploaded this video
Despite the fact pickup truck aren't my thing and sports and supercars is what I like or focus on the most....
And I think Ford has made a great job on the styling to attract young people like me. (or maybe that just me)
Cause I actually do like it, and want to own/have one
@Lee Jo Don They’re a fantastic vehicle and you wouldn’t be disappointed if you bought one
Great segment 👍
I’ve ordered a white V6 XLT with the touring pack & spray in bed liner. Due in October 2022.
I will option up a wireless charging pad also.
Can’t wait to experience the V6. I tow a 2.5T Millard caravan.
I’ve currently using a 2019 Holden Colorado (500Nm)
Look forward to your next video 👍👍
@Rodney Wildin Congratulations on your new car, you'll love it! The V6 engine is awesome, smooth quiet and powerful! More videos coming soon, including using the SYNC4 infotainment system and digital instrument cluster.
Because of your video…..I’ve now changed the Oder to a white V6 Sports model 👍👍
Good job Webby!
I'm looking forward to your Everest Platinum review 😀
@Kahuna Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I’m looking forward to driving the new Everest too!
It seems that Ford have given a lot of thought in designing this model. The only thing that gives it away as American input is the gear selector indicator being set for left hand drive. I would imagine that threes a full size spare and the only thing I would have liked to hear a comment on was the rear seat backrest - whether you felt it was too upright or allowed you to lean back.
@Gordon Clarke yes there is a full size spare wheel. The gear selector indicator is actually on top of the gearshifter.
I hadn’t considered the angle of the back rest but it felt comfortable when I sat in the back
@@WebbyOnCars Thanks but I was talking about the lighted gear indicated to the left of the lever.
@@gordonclark7632 ah ok I see what you mean
Job well done to ford this is a great improvement from the previous model which was a fantastic car as well. Thanks for the thorough review 👍
@Vincent Motonya Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed the video. You're right it's a big improvement over the previous model.
Noticed no 1st,2nd select gear on the shift.. how would u select lower gears? Nice looking truck does look to be well upgraded from previous versions.
?
On the side of the shifter you press up and down buttons when you put it in sequential mode
I myself rather the old way of pushing back to go up a gear though, does anyone know if this has paddle shifters because that would be the nicest
@Fingerbun No, they don’t have paddle shifters.
@@SkiRacingOz Ah ok i was wondering how.... Thnx
How much is the v6? Wildtrack full pacage?
Great introduction to the Sport. Can't wait till I get mine.
@Mark Wilkes Glad you enjoyed the video. Congratulations on your new ute, you’ll love it!
Great informative video mate. Can I ask how tall you are just to gauge heights etc of the car thanks
@Rangi Walker I’m 5ft 6
Nice review my guy. I'll be very tempted to get one once they hit the states. I don't care for the huge screen, seems like an overkill. All in all seems like Ford hit all the things I want/like in a midsize truck.
@mmastroleo Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed the video. You’ll be very impressed once you drive one.
Already best in class in US in current Gen. I own a '19 Ranger XLT FX4 an love it. 3yrs & been impeccable. The powertrain is always great. Plush ride. Stout T6 frame. Grab a deal on a '21 if not sold out!
My mom had 2023 Wildtrak Thai spec and it’s Bi turbo it packs with Ford CoPilot 360.
@SequoiaBlox1 Great choice of car by your mum!
@@WebbyOnCars The problem is Air conditioning
It always fail and it blows hot air instead of cold
Well done, enjoyed this.
@Mikes Crommando Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed the video
Diesel 😍 Wish this came to America.
@ZillennialJ it’s a cool truck!
EPA makes diesels in light vehicles very difficult. If you want a diesel you need to get the GVWR over 8,500 lbs.
nice detailed video. whats the consumption for that V6 diesel? even claimed figures
@Takunda Mapako The official combined figure is 8.4l/100km
I had a 2018 3.2 auto wildtrak for 185k and it never missed a beat, towed, off road, just flogged it and it was great, the only thing I didn't like was just how bloody slow it was.
Hopefully the V6 will be able to outrun a Hyundai i30 diesel
@Chris Collum I can confirm that the V6 diesel is a lot quicker than the 3.2 and the BiTurbo too!😉
it’s a little funny what people consider slow these days, i grew up in the back of old N/A hiluxs and land cruisers and they were SLOW, now i also drive a 3.2 2018 ranger and yes it’s no sports car but considering it’s a heavy “diesel” car it goes pretty damn good i reckon
The world should fear Rangers that can accelerate. Coming sooner to a bumper near you!
Webby, I heard the motor is the one used in the Land Rover Discovery and Range Rover. I know the Land Rover 3lt V6 is a brilliant motor. Can you confirm if the Ranger has the same engine?
@Terry Mutze I believe it is but with a few tweaks from what I’ve heard
Hi mate, thanks for the info. Just curious to what the usb connection that's built into the front mirror housing is for ? Pick up my sport in a couple weeks and looking forward to getting her out there.
@Simon Marshall It’s for connecting a dash camera. Congratulations on your new Ranger, you’ll love it!
Hi Webby, thank you for the great review! I have a V6 WildTrak on order for hopefully delivery in September..... We will be towing a caravan in the future, do you know if it has a manual activation button on the trailer brake controller to brake the trailer without using the vehicle brakes?
@Akitsu Congratulations on your new ute! I've not had chance to learn about the new brake controller properly yet.
Great video mate, we are adding one to our fleet next week! Can't wait!
@Windows Factory Pty Ltd Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Congratulations on your new ute, you'll love it!
Thanks for your review/run through of this ranger. Yes there are items you missed as others have mentioned in the comments but that is ok. There is a lot in the new ute/truck. I am looking forward to your detailed review of the infotainment display. I am very keen to purchase either a wild track or a sport. All depends on the info being supplied about the product. Ford website seems to be hopeless for this info, not even a matrix comparison between models....Very hard to put down a deposit if not knowing what the product is, in detail, like I can currently do with every other manufacture in this segment. Again appreciate your efforts and detailed reviews. Have learned a lot more about the ranger.I look forward to your future content as I know it will help me make a decision
@Darren Smith Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
I know there’s a few bits missing from the video but we’re still learning about the cars ourselves!🤣
If you’ve got any more specific questions you can always send me an email if you like? paul.webb@berwickford.com.au
Thanks Webby. Will be in touch in the near future.
@Darren Smith No worries at all
Hi Paul, thanks for the in depth review. Is this an Australian spec model? Does it have rear disc brakes and does it run with Adblue? Thanks for the info, best review I’ve seen yet!👍
@Darren Morgan Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Yes this is an Australian spec model. Rear disc brakes are standard on XLT models and above. Adblue isn’t needed in any of the ranger models. More videos coming soon by the way
@@WebbyOnCars thanks again for the info and fast response 👌👍
@@darrenmorgan5849 no worries at all, happy to help
Mate - Its so good - I can not wait for ours.
@Leon Athavan congratulations, you’re gonna love it!!
Great Video...thank you!!
@Uluibau Tabete Thank you. Glad you liked it!
He is probably the first reviewer of the new gen ranber in english, pretty detailed one here
@JayR Robles Yes, I think it’s one of the first videos available. Hope you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the review. Fantastic video. One question has Ford added cooled and heated seats to the Ranger sport?
@John Coetzer Unfortunately not. Heated seats are standard only on the Wildtrak. Ventilated seats aren’t on any of the Ranger models.
@@WebbyOnCars Thanks for the reply. I think these UTES are awesome and I have ordered one. I know we can start and run the vehicle while locked so you could warm it or cool it before getting in. So it’s not a game changer but definitely something Ford should have looked at to complete the package as they have perfected everything else.
I have had Toyota Prado’s for years now but price and towing capacity has made me look away. HELLO FORD!
@@johncoetzer9567 you can start the engine and warm/cool the interior by using the FordPass app on your phone
Legend thanks Paul 👍👍 how would you compare comfort and ride quality on crappy roads to the px3? I’m thinking it’ll be great with high quality aftermarket suspension. I ordered v6 sport too.
@Matty No worries at all, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. The ride is definitely better than the PX3, due to the wider and longer track. Drive it first before you spend a load of money upgrading your suspension.
Congratulations on your new ute , you’ll love it!
Thanks for the video really enjoyed it. Have had a Everest sport on order since March, so watched this with interest. Have heard Nov for delivery but seeing some chatter that the touring pack is delaying orders.
@M C Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it. Yes the touring pack/tow pack is delaying orders on the new Everest unfortunately
great review is there a dust seal om the tailgate ?
@ray sterrett Only standard on the Wildtrak models
Thanks Paul. Can't wait to see your review of the Next Gen Everest V6 Sport which I have ordered.
@Colin Mackintosh No worries at all, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I’m looking forward to driving the new Everest too!
@@WebbyOnCars When is Everest due in Australia and is there a long wait time for the V6?
@@billybob1511 the Everests are due to start arriving next month. The V6 models will take a lot longer to arrive than the BiTurbo models
Great video and very informative. I inquired about ordering one of these this morning from my local dealer and was told April-May 2023 for delivery. Do you know if this is the general wait time people should expect if not already ordered here in Australia. Cheers.
@Rob Smith Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it.
If you’re after a V6 Sport I’d be able to supply you a car a lot sooner than that. Not sure why they told you it would take that long to get one
@@WebbyOnCars yep I’m after V6 sport. I’m in Tas so I assume it’s a supply into the state? Or the massive demand. If you can get one sooner we should def talk!
@@Smuddo1 not sure what the situation might be for Tassie dealers, but I’m more than happy to help.
Send me an email at paul.webb@berwickford.com.au with your contact details and I’ll give you a call.
Great content review Webby.
@Big Will Racing Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it.
This is a great review and looking at the positives, this bodes well for the upcoming Amarok
@Sipho Khumalo Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it.
looks so awesome
@ruscador1 It drives as good as it looks!
So with all these comfy features when driving, will it make drivers more happy and relax on the roads or will people still need to drive like they're in a hurry all the time and uncomfortable.
@Bradley Austin It will make for a much nicer driving experience especially as a lot of people use these as a family vehicle too
This is a huge win for Ford and the pickup market.
@zerocool The Ranger is already an important vehicle for Ford and this new model will make all the other car brands up their game to keep up with it
Absolutely Fantastic Review
@Omar Hammoud Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it.
I was getting excited when you said "the front is very similar to the F1..." then you added 50 to it ☺
MDW8 haha it’s not quite a formula one car!🤣
All I want to know is if they’ve progressed their chassis anti corrosion to something more than colouring it in with a sharpie?
@Jamie Gibbs I’d like to think so
Great video - I see a wildtrak behind you in some shots, show that one off too!
@Fraaip Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Video coming soon of the Wildtrak
Great video, thanks. I can't wait to get mine. Are you able to confirm whether the Australian released ranger has the Stop-Go with Lane Centring on the higher grade models?
@Cody Field Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, those features are standard on XLT models and above
@@WebbyOnCars woohoo! Thanks.
@@codyjfield78 no worries at all
If possible, please do more ranger models like the raptor
@PlotGamer I’ll be doing all the models as they arrive at my work, plus additional videos on how to use things like the sync4 system
Hope the lights are improved. I have a 2018 model xlt and the lights are horrible to the extent that i will not drive after dark unless an emergency. I have a head torch that is brighter. I have enquired about an upgrade but have been told it is not possible as the computer senses that there is a change in the system and shuts everything down. this is from ford and an auto electrician.
@Rodney Pharaoh Have you checked the headlight adjustment switch to see if they are at the correct height?
Hi Paul, do you know if the old and new beds are the same size?
@Leo Pando yes, the internal measurements are better in the new model
Great video mate, thank you! We haven't gotten any here in Australia yet for test driving, quick question, does the adaptive cruise control come to a complete stop or does it disengage below 20kmph like the previous model?
@MrCrazyivan01 Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
On the XL and XLS model it doesn’t come to a complete stop, but it does on XLT models and above.
this is in Berwick Victoria.
@@steveprice1984 thanks mate, yeah I commented before the test ride where I saw the Aussie road signs. I consulted my dealer and he said they won’t be here until end of Aug so you guys obs got them before us
@@steveprice1984 that’s correct. I work at Berwick Ford.
@MrCrazyivan01 That seems strange that yours aren’t arriving until the end of august.
I'm glad you have a sense of humor Mr Webb. Do you think they have increased the rear legroom over the old model. That was always a sticking point with me. I am very disappointed you didn't get the role in Game of Thrones.
@Jim Provan Always got a sense of humour!🤣 I think the rear legroom is due to the dashboard having less depth.
Me too, would’ve been nice to meet Amelia Clarke!
I had a 2020 Ranger. It was very nice, but I got an outrageous deal on a PRO4X.
@Sgt Grinch Have a look at the new Ranger when you change you Navara, you'll be impressed.
Seats are definitely better than the old model but I really dont like the dashboard, the leather covered one was a lot nicer. I think I will hold on to my Everest Limited for a few more years.
@Rocket Creations If you want something a bit nicer, the new Wildtrak would suit I think
Does the adaptive cruise have low speed follow/stop and go? The previous gen’s adaptive cruise cut off below 20 mph at least in the US, rendering it useless for traffic jams.
@Jake S Adaptive cruise control is standard on all trim levels. The stop/go function is only standard on XLT models and above.
@@WebbyOnCars thanks for the reply, that’s good to know. Hopefully this will be the case in the US
@@jakes5530 you’d like to think so
great review 👍
@ozjuice Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed it
Thanks your fine video. Impressive vehicle
@letsseeif Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. It’s really impressive!
Great review Paul but missed V6 diesel nm & kw, plus towing weight capacity, thanks
@Leon Healy Sorry about that. 184kw and 600nm. Towing is 3.5 tonne
You guys got the V6 turbo diesel? The only V6 that my country will probably got is the one that is on the Ranger Raptor but it runs on petrol, which not a lot of people here would prefer when it comes to pickup trucks, no instant torque from the petrol engine.
@Nicholas Chen yes we get the V6 diesel here in Australia. The engine in the Raptor will have more than enough power although it will like a drink!
V6 Wildtrak costs almost $3000 more on the road in WA compared to NSW due to ripoff WA stamp duty.
@JP wow, that’s crazy!
i like the 1971 xy door handles
@xbgtjg66 Has that car got keyless entry too then?!🤣🤣
Good job mate. When you doing a video on the Wildtrak?? 🍿
@Adrian Stafford comes out on Tuesday
Can the sport be optioned with the Matrix LED headlights?
@marcusbarnes5929 No, you have to get the Wildtrak with the optional Premium Pack or a Platinum to get the matrix headlights.
2 points .what’s the panel on top of the dash above the entertainment screen,and also do the front and rear windows go all the way down
@John Burke The panel on top has a few warning lights for things like seatbelts and airbags. If you get a Wildtrak with the optional Premium Pack, then there is an additional speaker in that panel too. I can confirm that the windows do go all the way down in both the front and the back
Great review btw great looking ute
@Graeme Morris Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video
The v6 sounds like it will be the popular choice. 👍
@WICKEDLEE LOOPY Very much so, hence the long waiting list to get one
Can’t wait to pick mine up.
@Paul it’ll be worth the wait, you’ll love it!
@@WebbyOnCars coming from a 19 hilux I think it will drive way better haha
@@barrakingbeatz7794 oh for sure! It’s on a completely different level to the Hilux!
Another bug is that the hood release is now on the passenger side of the car……why? 🤬
Surely it could have been reconfigured when converting from LH drive to RH drive.
@Rodney Wildin I'm not really sure why they did that to be honest
