Do you reckon the new-gen 2023 Ford Ranger is an improvement over the old model? Tell us below, and catch the full story here: www.whichcar.com.au/reviews/2023-ford-ranger-review-ford-s-new-ute-is-here-at-last
Regardless of how often these manufacturers and reviewers refer to these vehicles as utes, in Australia they remain CREW CABS or DUAL CABS. Utes have a mono body with 2 doors!
I have the 2l twin turbo. Picked it up yesterday. First to have one in area 3rd in Australia to driveway away in one. I’m glad I chose the 2l it’s better on fuel and a better motor. V6 wasn’t very wowing. So far super impressed by it, the tech is next level. Love the app I can just start the car and unlock with my phone. Handles and drivers superb. All in all 70 odd thou well spent. 5 year warranty capped price servicing. It’s perfect
Interesting, I have a 2 litre bi turbo Wildtrak for work and a 3.2 litre Wildtrak as a personal car. I have had the 3.2 tuned and it is pretty spectacular for a diesel small truck/ute. On the highway I achieve 7.5 to 8l/100km and about 8.0l/100km out of the 2 litre bi turbo. Bi Turbo pretty much runs up and down the highway. The tuned 3.2 delivers some outstanding fuel economy in the front of a van, running a 6 tonne GCM. I have a 3 litre to pick up this weekend so be interesting to see how I see it comparing to my tuned 3.2, torques will be similar. I do hope that steering wheel movement doesn't come as a standard feature, will know in a few days I guess.
You are correct, they have been doing the same for USA delivered duel cabs for about 8 years. Good to see it arrived here, Im a shorty it will help me.
Looks tough? Looks like it had a plastic nudge bar attached to the front of the old Ranger and ran into a brick wall. The back seat is barely bigger than the original Amarok so it’s small children only in the back seat and cheap plastic dash for $70,000 dollars? The Raptor is $90,000 plus. Nope, just not worth that much.
Can you idiots stop saying a euro pallet? The euro pallet dims are 1200x800mm, it can actually fit a cheap pallet 1200x1200mm or US type pallet 48x48in
Thank Christ someone else is thinking this as well. Now if only they stop talking sh*t about C clamp led lights over and over. This is not a remarkable feature. They're just frigging running lights....
@@RBPhantomTilt So say that or say it will take a standard Australian pallet (1165mm pallet) and stop mindlessly swallowing and regurgitating the press kit I.e do some homework like I dunno...... journalists?
@@bandicoot2016 Yeah ...... I couldn't find one of those bloody 'euro pellets' for my Ranger. In the end I gave up and just stuck a CHEP pallet back there!
Took a V6 for test drive just recently . Wanted to be excited about the performance of this driveline, but it is a huge disappointment especially when compared to my V6 Amarok. I actually asked the sales bloke if it had a software lock on it as it had only done about 220 km. Got blank stares back. After seeing reviews by PD reiews and others on youtube it's a full second slower to 100k. Coupled with a 10 speed auto jointly designed by GM and Ford, ( a match made in hell!) I'll stick to the current Amarok with a spritely motor and ZF tranny.
No Manual option.. For a 4x4 and they said they have listened argg ok... no big engine option for base models. well sorry, but us aussies; want a 4x4 want to be able to have vinyl floors wind up windows a manual trans and a big engine. So please drop all your crap.. and Give some of the strugglers a good poverty pack they can rely on in the wild and leave your top end latte rubbish for those city mums. And at least give some real caravanning and camping and rural people a real car.. if you can. 40k to 45k.. no fuss No muss reliable manual no bull crap infotainment. This idiot version was inspired by accountants that have no practical value until after the comments come in.. in which they would ignore anyway cause they are never wrong. Big disappointment. from a Ford fan.. Let down again by management.
Have you seen over 90kmh, just asking, anyway, other than the early versions snapping crankshafts this v6 has been proven to be quiet reliable and the old 3.2 is proven to be reliable as well, only the 2.0 has questionable reliability when it comes to ford engines in the ranger
Really now? Why being nasty? Why can't you enjoy your 07 Hilux without spitting on another brand? Especially when you have never owned a 2023 RANGER. Is it perhaps envy or Jealousy? Why else would you click on a Ranger review when you knew upfront that Ford was garbage? No matter how much haters are trying to keep a good brand down with negative statements. It will continue to succeed. God bless you and your family🙏🙏
I own a bi turbo and I also have an ultra gauge I find it hard to see where at 110kph at under 20kw and under 120nm is a struggle for the bi turbo. Every review I have seen with the V6 they all said the same sort of thing, my figures for real world use are around town 8.2 / 100 on the highway 7.8/100 towing my caravan 2850kg at 95kph 14.5 / 100 is normal. i will get my new wildtrak V6 next July August 2023.
@@cookie2837 My current lease runs out in late July and to avoid any lease break penalties I have decided to se it through. My dealer at Ford said I could have the V6 Wildtrak in 8 months because want the premium pack without that package it would be around 6 months.
@@cookie2837 I changed my order to include the premium pack and I am looking into a gvm which includes the lift of about 2 inches. I will be getting it in 2024 Jan because of my add ons and asked for that date firm.

The wading capabilities are the number one requirement for many Australians.
800mm as standard is pretty close to class leading.
Regardless of how often these manufacturers and reviewers refer to these vehicles as utes,
in Australia they remain CREW CABS or DUAL CABS. Utes have a mono body with 2 doors!
Too expensive!

This is about the 3rd or 4th review I'm seeing about this vehicle from different reviewers and all are the same.

The point they're making is that there is 1200mm between the wheel arches, that's all.

The most important question; can the Adaptive Cruise be turned off?
It's hasn't got the pick up of the vw v6 gone backwards.
Big slow Tractor that's what these Rangers are.
Can't wait for the raptor. Mine is ETA 13th of August
Oh awesome, enjoy! We'll be keen to hear what you think of it. - Mike
Go the mighty Ranger :)
5:41 why is the steering wheel moving around so much does it not track straight
it looks like thats how he drives
im on 11.7 on my 3.2.
I'm keep my 2018 3.2 XLT thanks. Not a fan of the new model. The V6 is incredibly underwhelming 🥱
Only the V6 gets the E-shifter "low profile" gear shifter he mentioned and only the Wildtrak and Raptor get the 12 inch display.
I have the new 2.0 Wildtrak sitting in my driveway and it has the e shifter
@@topostornottopost3371 XLT V6 and above get the E Shifter
@@cookie2837 No, the Sports and Wildtrak Bi-turbo also get the E-shifter. The XLT Bi-turbo doesn't get it
Can you get a manual?
No manuals. Auto throughout the range.
@@RBPhantomTilt bummer, I’ll stick with the old manuals.
The Mexican Ranger comes with a Manuel. He will sit in the passenger seat and shift for you.
@@fugawiaus why, I understand and agree that a Manual is more fun to drive but as a work ute a auto is much more desirable
@@SkiRacingOz all I can say is ………… weekends

Thoughty the same V6 was a bit dull for 600 NM
What does an Amarok weigh? The new Ranger is a whopping 2400kgs FFS. No wonder performance is suffering.
Imagine when this guy finds out that the next gen Amarok is wholly based on this ranger.
@@electrikoptik Yeah, won't be buying that either. Bring on Rivian.
@@bandicoot2016 If you are worried about 0-100 time then get the Raptor. Figures aren't out yet but I'd expect is will be sub 6 seconds.
