Appreciate the detail you’ve gone to in this review particularly in regards to ride quality. The only review I’ve found so far who explained it so well! Curious to know did you only drive it on smooth city roads? Cheers 👍
yeah, I'd also stutter when I have to say "best value" with current (and previous gen) Ranger pricing in the same sentence. Sure, it's competitive with other overpriced competition like Hilux and Amarok, but lets not get carried away and call it good value.
its good if you value having the best. They could of charged more and people would still pay it. Money doesn't mean anything to those who actually want a ute thats far and away the best in class.
Yep overpriced for what it is. Pretty basic vehicle being marketed as something great. Fords confused, is it a family car that can carry commercial stuff or a commercial trade car that a family can use. Ford have tried to say it’s a family car, while it’s being sold as a commercial vehicle for a massive price. I mean seriously getting excited over a step and a leather steering wheel that adjusts or a built in ruler and paying up to 74 grand, shows that there’s people out there with more money than sense. Compared to the US market, Australians are robbed blind, it’s any wonder Chinese vehicles are starting to become more popular.
Thanks! A question: I have been unable to find the overall length and width of the new model anywhere. Everybody mentions the increase in wheelbase and track, but what has that done to the overall dimensions?
I'd like to see the colours in real life, as the Meteor Grey looks a lot lighter in this video than Fords website, which I prefer. And the Aluminium Silver looks like a light grey which looks a lot better than a typical "silver"
without any for knowledge I would think that fuel consumption for the 2L sequential turbo with 10-speed on the 4-door versions will be around a realistic combined 9L per 100km which is 11.1kM per 1L (that is based on a full 80L max fuel tank) with he V6 about 8 to 10% worse off again combined consumption cycle. The current gen (now superseded) Ranger in 2L sequential turbo diesel i4 with 10-speed are getting roughly the same fuel consumption figures with the 3.2L i5 turbo diesel about 5% worse off.
he did, he said it was around 8L per 100km based on what the trip meter was showing however I would take that with a grain of salt as there testing time was limited.
I've seen a few other reviews. 9.5/10 is more likely the consumption for the V6. Although the V6 should be fairly similar to the Bi turbo as it wont have to work as hard. Maybe..
at this stage since there was no "FX4 MAX" trim level announced (which is the Australian equivalent of the "TREMOR" upgrade trim level it appears there won't be that specific version at this stage, of course that most likely will change. It's going to be interesting to see what rear suspension the NA market Ranger Raptor will have (provided the NA market actually gets a Ranger Raptor for this new gen Ranger) since the Bronco has a cheap as crap to make panhard rod live axle 4 link set up while the Ranger Raptor (and Ford Everest) have the far more sophisticated Watts Link live axle 5-link set up, we have seen that the F150 Raptor now has the rubbish panhard rod live axle 4 link set up so will be interesting to see what they (Ford NA) do wit there version Ranger Raptor provided there is one.
Not gonna lie pissed off heated seats and 360 camera exclusive to the wild track, some people want the best spec without that annoying roller door on the back, most of those wild tracks won’t see much more the wine cellar tours carrying 2-3 crates of wine home DUI from the hunter valley
I bough a Wild Track and agree , as soon as I saw that power roller shutter I asked the dealer how hard is it to remove the thing! He gave me the funniest look !!😂
@@jasonalexander7434 yeah picked up the 360 camera option, however no heated seats, cup holders or the extra storage are able to be optioned on the sport, I just don’t want the damn roller door.
@@olibomb6560 looking at the new wildtrak in Vietnam and you have to cough up 1k if you want the roller shutter. Funny how they force it onto the ozzies
No they do not as they are Euro 5 regulation in Australia, in Europe I would think that it needs to meet Euro 6d regulation which explains why they are detuned in terms of torque and power, that said the VW version will have DEF requirement for their turbo diesel requirements as they will meet Euro 6d regulations and of course you can bypass all that crap and get the Amarok turbo petrol version for most likely more $$$.
Heated seats lol, it’s all black , summer time is burnt buns time. Good one ford, in the states the same vehicle is half the price with varying coloured interiors.
Those tail gate measurements are in metric right? Please tell me we’re not going to bend over to the only country still using imperial!? I find the word “truck” disturbing.
These are load rated hooks. Most cars have a tie-down point for shipping. There’s no guarantee the tie down point will stay attached in a recovery. Possibly lethally dangerous
Cannot believe this man reviews vehicles. Probably better off reviewing soy lattes. I have no confidence in anything he's said. The amount of pauses and ahhhs in the delivery of his thoughts whilst driving was shocking. Don't use him again please.

Chinese yeh sure they cant make or design anything that lasts 6 months no need to market they drive the best just find out before , maybe buy a used one & save 10k, still cheap compared to utes 15 years ago & 50 times the drive.

Cant wait for the raptor. Mine is ETA August 13th
congrats! Many will be jealous of you getting one, especially so early
I wish you well. I’ll be lucky to see mine this year. 😬
Same ordered start of May, they tell me around Christmas. They got 19,000 orders for Everest and Ranger haha

It is good value if you're not the one putting your hand in your pocket.
Not sure why you believe it's not best value?

@@alphabravo3304 You're unusual
I like the clear view over the dash.
When is the Lightening/Thunder version coming out?
Thanks! A question: I have been unable to find the overall length and width of the new model anywhere. Everybody mentions the increase in wheelbase and track, but what has that done to the overall dimensions?
Difference between 2.0 bi turbo vs v6 in 90-120 kms/h ?
Most important, what are the wheel and tyre options from Ford?
I'd like to see the colours in real life, as the Meteor Grey looks a lot lighter in this video than Fords website, which I prefer. And the Aluminium Silver looks like a light grey which looks a lot better than a typical "silver"
Any V6 in a two door 4wdive ute?
Fuel consumption?

Stop calling it a "Truck"? Down this end of the world, it's a UTE!
80% of world says pick up truck. Deal with it.
@@audoinxr6372 yes but 100% of this country call it at Ute ! When in Rome !
@ChristopherH its a Bukkie
@@briantye110 fair. But most people I talk to in vehicle transport call them pick ups or dual cabs. Ute tends to describe holden/falcon ect.
@@audoinxr6372 80% of the world also calls the boot, a trunk, and the bonnet, a hood, is that what you also call them?
What's the real time fuel mileage? Need to stop saying what the sticker says.
he did, he said it was around 8L per 100km based on what the trip meter was showing however I would take that with a grain of salt as there testing time was limited.

At 11:28 why is only one fog lamp working?
I think ford call them static cornering lamps, individual fog lamp comes on when cornering
Yea it's a Ford thing for cornering, the wife's Fiesta ST does the same thing.
Does this have led tail lights or not??
The Wildtrack V6 will be 4x4 of the year 2023 Thanks CarsGuide
Anyone know if the Tremor package for these will be available in the NA market?
at this stage since there was no "FX4 MAX" trim level announced (which is the Australian equivalent of the "TREMOR" upgrade trim level it appears there won't be that specific version at this stage, of course that most likely will change.

There already on the market in the US. Tremor package on the Ranger has been available for a few month's now.
@@ninernation354 Yeah I meant for these next gen Rangers

its a $900 option to get the 360 camera on the sport. but yeah, pretty poor that it isn't standard on the XLT and up.

What a shame we can't have the V6 in the XL trim variants.
Anyone know if these engines require Adblue?
No Adblue required across the range.
Nah they don’t
No they do not as they are Euro 5 regulation in Australia, in Europe I would think that it needs to meet Euro 6d regulation which explains why they are detuned in terms of torque and power, that said the VW version will have DEF requirement for their turbo diesel requirements as they will meet Euro 6d regulations and of course you can bypass all that crap and get the Amarok turbo petrol version for most likely more $$$.
Does Ranger Sport come with heated seats?
I wanna know which spec comes with ventilated seats!? Surely that would be more useful in Australia.
No, only wildtrack has heated front seats
@@jared3785 disappointing.
Heated seats lol, it’s all black , summer time is burnt buns time. Good one ford, in the states the same vehicle is half the price with varying coloured interiors.
@@reptileric no need
Those tail gate measurements are in metric right? Please tell me we’re not going to bend over to the only country still using imperial!? I find the word “truck” disturbing.
Wish the raptor had the V6 Diesel. Would love to have the low down grunt of that v6 Diesel but the suspension of the raptor.
Yes I agree , I don’t see why after it’s release they are offering the bi turbo not the v6 diesel makes no sense
Buy aftermarket suspension
Ute. Not “truck”. Be proud to be Australian.
Really sucks that us hilux fans have to wait and stay with 2.8 gd6 toyota needs a new engine
halogen headlights in 2022 what the heck ford
Funny how they can't stop raving about the V6 diesel. Amarok owners will be nodding in agreement saying "I told you so...."
Well the 2012 navara was awesome still the environmental requirements stuffed them up as well
Pick-up truck 🙄 Righto Captain America
0-100kph in 8.9 seconds with the V6 😂
Dont all cars have front hooks? Toyota better up their game
These are load rated hooks. Most cars have a tie-down point for shipping. There’s no guarantee the tie down point will stay attached in a recovery. Possibly lethally dangerous
@@bendgeddes ahh recover points! yeah, they are good!
Byron, are you an American wannabe? I stopped watching this half-way when you kept referring to the Ranger as a truck or pick-up.
Cannot believe this man reviews vehicles. Probably better off reviewing soy lattes. I have no confidence in anything he's said. The amount of pauses and ahhhs in the delivery of his thoughts whilst driving was shocking. Don't use him again please.
He might be new?
Yeah thought the same...not very articulate. Terrible review.
Agree.
Was killing a potentially awsome review
I think im the only one that thinks this is the ugliest Ranger ever....
Thats cause you have no idea, the best by far compared the rest here.
Raptor engine in a normal ranger preferably space cab please, take that environmentally stressed out diesel and bin it.
v6 not stressed only the people who cant afford one, no can keep a petrol v6 long enough most have gone broke.
