I suppose Namibians is not in line for anything, but just the fact that I'm watching this should tell you that I am a RANGER fan. Currently in the market and just waiting for the rite moment!! The Wildtract is my first choice. Enjoying your channel.
Thanks legend for watching I appreciate it!
Currently awaiting our Ranger Sport v6,watching your videos have me excited for it to arrive but also given me an understanding of what we will be adding to it….Will be on caravan duties but keen for camping trips none the less.
Keep up the great work👌
Great work, I Love my 3 week old RANGER so far. It's good to know you are still very happy with yours after12 months.
Very mate it’s been a great car
I recently got the next gen amarok, couldn’t be happier with it and seeing this video on the “RANGER” and seeing how happy you are with it makes me happy with my purchase given they share the same platform
Thanks so much mate I really appreciate that! I’m glad you enjoyed it
Got a sport myself and loving it mods to come. Awesome video mate keep up the great work man
Thanks mate much appreciated
Nice video as always. The Ranger was never on our radar, but its great to see you getting out and about in it.
Thanks mate I have a few good big trips this year planned for it so I’m keen to see what it can do out in the scrub.
First time watcher. Great review of the RANGERs features 👍
Very informative video on the RANGER
Have just picked up a v6 wildtrak myself keen start the modifications
Thanks for watching mate
Just received our new Ford RANGER and loving it so far! Looking forward to upgrading a few things and getting it out on the dirt roads.
This is first time I saw your vedio. I love your review it help me choose which truck. I'm now looking to buy either Toyota grs, ranger or navara. Thank you so much
New Subscriber. Fantastic content mate. About to purchase the new “RANGER” in coming months and am super keen.
Thanks for creating these videos. Keep them coming and Happy Easter.
Thanks so much Jordan! Have a great Easter mate
Love the feedback on the newer Fords. I work in a ARB store and we see a lot of the RANGER and Everest comiing through. Unfortunately, I dont have the money to buy one. Keep up the good work!
Thanks mate much appreciated
Good vid mate! I have one and absolutely love it! I went the Bilstein 5100 suspension and have been pleased with the results 👍
I’m keen to try my first remote resi shock mate see what the big deal is about
@@4x4CampingandAdventures fair enough 👌
Nice video mate. Getting our wildtrak in may. Can’t wait!
Love the fire to fork sticker too :)
Harry is a whiz in the bush kitchen!
Nice Ranger mate ;)
I bought my first 4x4 in november, a 2014 mn triton! I have been watching a lot of your old triton videos and get a lot of inspiration for mods from them. Next I want to upgrade tyres and rims. Take it easy!
Legend mate enjoy the triton! 265/75/16 is the perfect size touring tyre or 285/75/16 is a great Offroad tyre mate plenty of content for you to watch!
Just bought myself a RANGER Sport. I love your videos for a bit of insight into what mods to add. Have to agree though, some of the safety alerts are the most annoying thing so far.
Definitely annoying that's for sure! I hope ya like it mate awesome car in my opinion.
Thank you for all the information I hope to pick up my first Ranger some time next week it will need a few accessories to set it up to get out there and enjoy this great country Thanks again
Awesome mate! You will love it what did you get the 4 or 6 cly?
I wish it was brand new but unfortunately it's second-hand so it's a 3.2 five cylinder but it's somewhere to start.
Still a new car mate! PX rangers are still awesome rigs
I’m waiting on a new Everest, this video review on your Ranger has been very informative. Thanks mate you’ve got a new subscriber 👍
Thanks for watching mate much appreciated!
There a handsome ute, I've got an older PB Mitsubishi Challenger and got a wagon because of the dust issue from utes. Never lets dust in, a bit more of a space issue when camping but I've started removing the rear seats which solves that, I can easily sleep in it if I need to. Good video
I’ve got the XLT RANGER V6. Tows my 2.8T Caravan with ease. Had to put stronger suspension to handle the van though. Love your vids.
Love my RANGER Wildtrak V6 and have the same canopy on it.
I recently went the OME BP-51 shock upgrade with OME 300kg leaf springs and AirBag Man Airbags for when the camper trailer is attached. So far I’m very happy with the ride!
Look forward to seeing what’s to come.
Very nice! Thanks for watching mate plenty to come!
RANGER. Nice r3view, and good insight into modifications for the RANGER. As an avid DIY Ute owner love the strut and seal mods, looking to get into the v6 Wildtrack when I retire in 12 months. Sandgroper!!!
You will love it mate!
Great video mate! 5 weeks with my next gen "Ranger" and loving it.
Legend mate thanks for watching
I'm a new viewer and enjoyed your review 💯👌....
"Ranger"
I've never considered the Ranger for my type of off-roading but I'm seriously impressed with the interior and that screen is nuts good!!!
Have you considered doing a GVM upgrade??
I can't wait for more videos and yes I'll be checking out your old videos 👍👍👍
Keeping em coming,
Cheers,
AL
Gday AL thanks for watching mate I appreciate it! I haven’t considered the GVM mainly because I’m not going to be loading it up with gear what you see at the moment is pretty much fully loaded and the fact I don’t run a big caravan ball weight is another one mate. I hope ya enjoy the old vids mate!
Pick up my “RANGER” sport Friday can’t wait great vid pal
Thanks so much mate enjoy the new car
Im considering a RANGER or amarok for my next ute. Subscribed and following your journey to give me some inspiration.
Thanks so much mate
I agree, this "Ranger" is next gen! One day I hope to be able to get one. 🙏🏼
Thanks mate!
I have been thinking of upgrading my 2016 'RANGER' for a while now. I've held off because I wanted to see what the pros & cons of the New vehicle. Woukd be down the track. Thanks for your honesty 🤙
Thanks for watching mate really appreciate it!
Great feedback on the Next Gen RANGER. I am waiting for a new Wildtrak and the only thing I am not looking forward to are those BONGS. Keep the videos coming.
Bloody bongs will do ya head in mate 😂🤣🤣😂😂
Great RANGER video mate! Wheel and tyre combo on the rig.
Thanks mate!
Nice. I get my 2024 XLT ranger in acouple weeks. Iam excited.
You will love it mate!
Love your “ranger” set up!
It's amazing that no car manufacturers try and seal up the tubs, it's little things like that that would sway droves of buyers yet they don't even bother.
100% mate such a small thing would completely differentiate it from the rest
Your Ranger looks awesome. I'm looking forward to seeing the mods over the next year. I bought the V6 Everest and went down the Lennard's track last week and it defiantly needs a lift kit. I gave the bash plates a good workout lol.
Haha yeah lennards is getting worse and worse I have not tried it yet in the new rig I will probably give it a go post lift. Glad ya liked the video mate
Id look forward to watching you do the Lennards trackpost lift kit lol
@@4x4CampingandAdventures
@robfowler3824 I’ll make sure to film it mate! Haha
Great vid, we are looking at new Everest or Ranger, the fors and against is a long list we are working through
We went from a wagon to a Ute mainly due to the practicality and space once a wagon starts to have draws etc inside they start to become less practical on a day to day basis. But there are plenty of pros to a wagon being its sealed etc
Love the look of the Ranger.
Great codeword being Ranger.
Thanks mate
Am now driving my second RANGER and one of the things that I had with the first one was the dust issue with the fibre glass canopy. This time I have had an alloy tray and canopy fitted.
Looking at going an alloy canopy and tray sometime in the future I think it’s the best of both worlds.
Picked up a Platinum over the Xmas period from Muswellbrook Ford NSW. Could not be happier with the car or dealership, both have been superb. Love it, V6 is a beaut..Gas strut tailgate is standard fit on the Platinum
Awesome to hear they put the good gear on the top spec models! Enjoy the new rig mate!
Good rundown and good to see that some of the simplest things have been included instead of just loading up the tech.
I would love to have a step like that on mine as getting stuff off the roof rack is a real pain. I will likely get one of those expanding ladder things at some point.
Great job with the giveaways and I now have a very nice rechargeable LedLenser torch that I bought from BCF with the voucher I was fortunate enough to receive from you recently.
I wonder if anyone will come out with a sealed camper type thing to go on the back of twin cabs?
It would solve a lot of the issues that they have but I guess it would be very very expensive to do.
Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching mate! A sealed tub would be just be perfect for these type of cars I still dont know why they have not done it. Awesome news on the BCF voucher mate glad it come in handy!
Good video and awesome microphone quality. Love the videos
Code word Ranger
Hey mate that means a lot I changed up my audio gear a few months ago and was 50/50 if it would work with the videos. Thanks for watching
Your Ranger's rear step would've been an absolute game changer on my old triton. Such a nifty idea!
Thanks mate it works really well
Code word ranger. I love what you're doing to the ranger. My son has a ranger and I would love one, one day, as I still have the old triton
Nothing wrong with the Triton mate! thanks for watching
She’s a beautiful Ranger can’t wait for the next mods
Thanks so much mate!
100% agree with the bings and bongs. Incredibly annoying.
From Perth too 🙋🏼♂️
Great video! I’ve been looking for a 4x4 for a couple months now. Was mostly looking at D-Max and BT50 but I recently took a Ranger Sport V6 for a drive and man I’m sold on the new Ranger!! They’re so much nicer than all the other utes!
How does the Bi turbo go? Im not going to be towing but just something about the smaller displacement with more moving parts that makes me a little uneasy with reliability
It’s being going great so far mate they are not as highly strung as people think, they max out at 22psi which in diesel terms isn’t much but the V6 is a power house but there have been issues with that model to.
Mainly here as your thumbnail has your truck with a camper shell on it. I know it’s heresy, but I will be putting one on my Ranger raptor. I really like that Prinsu makes a roof rack (with led strip lights in front) that also has a level, extended rack for the camper shell, so I can mount my canoe. I will also remove the spare tire from under (swapping to 35’s which won’t fit) and adding a swing out tire mount on rear bumper (high clearance aftermarket rear bumper with matching front bumper). Then just eibach’s and aftermarket beadlocks. Hennessey tune (USA 500hp WITH warranty!!) and I’ll be done after a shit ton of aux lighting and see if swaybar disconnect from bronco raptor will bolt in.
Sounds awesome mate
I'm fm Malaysia. Your vedio is awesome
Nice video, mate. What editing software/app do you use. Love the transitions.
CapCut mate!
Great walk around on the RANGER, I rate them but the new price tag is owies on the pocket 😢 look forward to more episodes. Cheers 🍻
Definitely getting expensive mate! Thanks for watching
Let’s put it this way; I’d have one in a heartbeat! Big fan.
You were sold on the Blackwood river trip coming out of Gus to the comfortable Ranger 🤣
@@4x4CampingandAdventures man it was like going from a tractor to a Maserati 😂
Hahaha but ya can’t beat old Gus
Nice review. I’d like to test drive a RANGER soon.
Won’t be disappointed mate!
Good looking "Ranger" mate. Also have a look at parabolic rear leafs if ya wanna keep the factory ride quality.
Definitely on the cards mate thanks heaps
I've had my RANGER XLT for 12 months too. Absolutely love it, so comfortable to drive. I recently did a 1000km highway drive and it was great!
Only thing I hate is that the lane assist, by default, is always on. It's a minor inconvenience to turn it off and I do it automatically now, it's just annoying.
Yeah agreed on the lane assist mate I turn it off especially when towing it seems to start swaying the car for what ever reason.
Just found the channel. Looking to get a RANGER XLT very soon. Have subscribed. 😊
Thanks so much mate!
Great video mate I too love my Ranger but HATE the dust in the tub. I also tried a dust kit which was useless. Would you mind giving us a better look at your kit installed please? I’d love to see it actually in the car from someone who’s had success with it.
Again great video mate
Cheers
ShaneO
I can add it to the new tub setup coming soon mate I’m switching some stuff around
@@4x4CampingandAdventures that would be awesome thanks. Look forward to it.
I’ve put airbags & Toughdog adjustable shocks on the rear of my Ranger Sport to compensate for my 3T caravan.
Good move I had airbags with the triton
Ranger... Great review on the Love and Hate Ford Ranger👌👍
Thanks mate
Cannot wait to update my Pk Wildtrak "Ranger" to the next Gen. The side steps on the tub makes a lot of sense.
Great feature mate use them all the time
Love my V6 Ranger Sport. You are dead right about the comfort and ride.
Leagues above the rest mate especially driving a hilux as a daily it’s chalk and cheese
I had a BT50. Loved the 5 cyl engine noise and cabin storage (yep better than the new ranger). But I'd give a storage bin or two for a seat I dont feel the need to adjust every 10 minutes and to carry out a conversation without yelling.
Yeah they are quiet inside almost like a car honestly
I brought 2012 ranger xlt few years ago. It been doing good and lovin it. Now it done 207,300km. Ford built tough.
Awesome mate you upgrading to a new one when the time comes?
@@4x4CampingandAdventures
Will upgrade to new one when it broke down.
Went back and forth for 10 days between a next gen Ranger Raptor 2.0 diesel (available here in NZ) and a Ranger Wildtrak V6. Finally settled on the V6, take delivery in 4 weeks. I hope I made the right call!
The V6 is a beast mate plenty of power you will froth it!
Great review on the Ranger 👌
Thanks mate
Any tips or tricks to eliminate the bings and bongs would be well received. I'm only 1500km in and it's killing me
Thanks mate brilliant review ! I just picked up the same car with the same canopy, just wondering where you got your canopy rack and what rooftop tent are you running?
Hey mate so it’s a Drifta Stockton RTT I have a video on the channel going through it, the canopy rack is just from Ocam mate but I’ll be replacing it with a Rola one soon enough
@@4x4CampingandAdventures thank you much appreciated, is there any reason for the swap to Rola or just personal preference
Mainly due to preference but I liked the look of them both being the same and I have a few accessories that I could mount onto the canopy rack rather than the roof rack mate.
Thanks for your take on the Ford Ranger, I'm not sure whether to go Wildtrack or Raptor.
Raptor is a weekend toy but can’t tow much wildtrack is more luxury touring rig imo
I’ve got a hilux couldn’t get a test drive of a ranger during covid. Must have been fate, in uk rangers are common but hilux is a rare sight.
Get yourself Forscan or somebody local that can use it and get the bongs turned off in your ‘RANGER’.
Activate Sport and Mud/Rut modes, big change, also get your tyres recalibrated to the car.
Looking into this!!!
I have the previous model Wildtrak RANGER, that comes from factory with tub tailgate seals. Would love to add the damper.👍🏻
From factory! That’s wild never seen them on a factory car unless the dealer installed it?
Dobinsons MRA remote res kit is amazing so well built.
Very good kit mate
@4x4CampingandAdventures a true 60mm shock with quality made internals (no plastic piston)..
MRA ride great and no body roll.
3" front 2" rear leveled
Have you found the Ranger android/apple connectivity is prone to drop outs? My previous daily (xr6 ute) had perfect bluetooth until the engine started. Then no bluetooth.
No it’s been really good mate no connection issues that I have found
the Ranger looks great Brayden, Ford did a lot of RD on this model and the current sales figures show
Thanks Rolly, it definitely is winning the sales race and with good reason to! They are just a good all round car to own.
I wish the Ranger Wildtrak came with the ventilated seats, same as Wildtrak Everest.
I have a Ranger Wildtrak and loving it. 21,000kms since June and its great.
Some of your hates dont faze me as much but my biggest gripe is the wireless phone connection which doesnt always work.
Hey mate I can’t say I have found that in mine it seems to always connect but I have heard of the issue before it’s hit and miss with some people.
How do you find the maxliner canopy goes for letting in dust after you've put in the grunt seal? Cheers!
Been good so far mate not much dust in there at all!
Nice Ranger! Just found your channel. Now to do some research for mine incoming. Do you think paying the dealer tax on ARB accessories is worth it?
You keep factory warranty for the mods that they install so yeah in that situation it definitely is, I’m not to stressed as I know the dealer in my local town so I know I’ll get most of my warranty claims no problems but it’s not the same for everyone.
Good video mate
Thanks mate
Im in the middle of getting the 4x2 sport in the Philippines. Just wondering if your sport model in Australia comes with the power points in the back?
Only comes with a 12v in the tub mate and the back seats I believe there is one to
Here in the NT the tilt tray companies love 'em.
😂😂😂 blown gearboxes everywhere hey it’s keeping people busy!
Love the RANGER mate 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks mate
The KIA Tasman is comming 2025 and is going to be the winner of them all
We shall see!
It's no Triton but the Ranger seems to have the goods to take you on your new adventure.
She’s no triton mate that thing was a sucker for punishment but drove like a brick 😂 thanks for watching mate
If the planets align, I should pickup my Wildtrak before the weekend
Congrats mate!
I have a 2014 RANGER and never had an issue
I know a lot of people who have not had a issue with them mate considering how many they sold
The 2 things I hate on mine are the auto-stop and lane control which I turn off each start up! Ford needs have at least a fix for the lane control to be off at all times if needed.
It’s pretty annoying hey!
I was considering a Ranger but ended up ordering the Platinum Everest (Wife wanted to feel like a princess) because we are a family of four with both parents being tall and need the rooms for the kids over the next 5 or so years.
Do you do much 4WD at the moment? (Only just found your channel, so I don't have the history, but I'm going back to watch some videos now)
Hey mate the Platinum is a great car, yeah I do heaps you have 7 years of videos to go back through 😂
Ranger.
Navara canopy if you keep the little square window open in the back of it will keep dust out.
I wish Ranger came with 12v outlet in the tub especially if getting top model/s
It does come with a 12v plug in the tub mate!
"Ranger" love the people in coments saying miss the y62. But here's me from day one of your channel I miss the triton 😢
Man I miss the Triton as well she was such a beast of a rig! Real OGs remember the punishment that thing went through haha!
Would have loved to see a contrast to your Patrol covering comfort, consumption,set-up and Overlanding practicality
Future video right there mate!
@@4x4CampingandAdventures am in this boat currently so looking forward.
Hey Brayden, are you thinking of eventually putting a bill bae on the ranger? I like the look of it as is, but thinking all it takes is one animal hit and you're in trouble
At the moment I am thinking about it if we can find one we like I do like the fact there isn’t 60kg over hanging the front end but there is the possibility of hitting a animal as well. So atm it’s shelved untill we find one we like.
Love your RANGER.
I thought your 5 likes and dislikes were spot on. My 2024 Ranger sport, with canopy is the only disappointing bugbear. The standard tyres and poor choices of 18 inch replacement off road tyres that would fit standard rims is frustrating. Any suggestions of brands that will suit existing rims?
285/65/18 is a good size mate for the standard rims!
How good are Ford Rangers? I also love the Everest. Thanks for the vid
Everest is a great car to mate! We were looking at them as well.
I have a RANGER Sport myself 13 months old. The best Ute I have ever owned, took several other different brands for test drives and they don't come close to this Ute. Agree if the tail gate was factory sealed on all the models customers would thank the manufactures.
Thanks for watching mate!
Wildtrack is my favorite ranger
I have a wildtrack x and it has the tub all sealed from dust and water Standard
Yeah since doing this video it has come to light the wildtrack has the seals
You don’t need to buy the Grunt kit, I got seals from Bunnings for around $20 and have done the job amazingly!
Good to know mate!
Good to hear you're enjoying the Ranger mate.
A few of those items are included on higher spec models. Wildtrak comes with tailgate dust seal and the platinum has the tailgate gas strut. All this should come standard from the XLT up imo!
Intresting! Didn’t know the seal was included, but you’re right for a $200 retail price kit it should be included on all variant’s!
Great video, would you prefer to use this as your daily drive or stick with your Hilux?
Prefer this every day of the week but the hilux is the work rig mate so free fuel wins!
@@4x4CampingandAdventures thanks buddy. Totally agree with that, I was stuck in a Holden for years because of that lol. Besides the ’bongs’ any issues with the tech?
Nah mate mines been pretty much glitch free which is nice I have heard people had some dramas with the early ones but that’s pretty normal with any new car
Hey, mate. what's the tall computer tower looking thing next to your drawer?
It’s a pantry from Supercheap auto mate!
@@4x4CampingandAdventures Lol. Makes sense, Probably should have picked it. Cheers.
Ranger !
Go The Ranger ✌🏼
Light years ahead of the pack
Sure is mate thanks for watching
nice ranger! great spec. What set of tires are under this beast?
Thanks mate BF Goodrich ATs 285/65/18
