I had a twin turbo 2 litre diesel turbo for work. I used to do 250 miles per day and I found the seats reasonably comfortable. I managed to get 30 + mpg. With some sensible driving. I used to tow my Turetello F20 box trailer with my 306GTI race car in it. They were great for towing, which surprised me for an auto box vehicle.
As a resident of Bristol, it still baffles me how we won the first ever 'cycling city' award - with roads like Vale Street, gravity vs human makes self-powered transportation something of a novelty.
Hi Vicki, nice to see that you were not hyper ventilating whilst you were going through these offroady bits, my thought on the new Ford Ranger Wildtrak. I love it, wish it was more affordable, here in beautiful SEZ, it costs about an arm and a leg and more than £45000-/ because our dealerships here seem to like charging people for 100% profit and then they end up blaming the government when members of the public complain. Probably be cheaper if I had the cash to import one myself.
I like Vicki's attention to detail even when reading the script (among other things). When talking about the Goodyears, she goes: "... actually offers a choice of four -slight pause- wheel diameters..." Without that slight pause, viewers would maybe, just maybe, think that she was talking about a four-wheel drive and get confused, and Vicki doesn't want that; do you now Vicki? :)
Thank you so much for doing the review on the Ranger. I really would love to own one. I may just see how the car industry develops through this year. Maybe, oh, say September or so, and then maybe the price will be lower….. well, I can hope. 😊
Sorry? 4 low on bitumen? Unless I am misunderstanding the cutting edge tech, 4 low is still not equivalent to the full time 4x4 setting it offers and should still not be used on hard surfaces? Also, you don't think 4 low was overkill for a suburban street? Lol.
It didn't even engage 4 low, you are supposed to stop and put the transmission in neutral before it will engage 4 low, and yes you shouldn't put a 4wd in low range on a hard surface.
@@johnsmith-ub7vr Im a seventh gen central Australian plumber and historically, cattleman. Have lived directly on a remote beach in FNQ for 23 years. I have only ever owned 4x4s and worked remote my whole life. I wasn't asking about 4x4. Lol. I was asking about the new tech. Where are you, John? Fitzroy? FFs. Lol.
Had a twin turbo which had a catastrophic engine failure after 50,000 miles and well less than 3 years ….watch out for the twin triboluminescent ,it’s pants
Still the most gorgeous motoring journalist. I entered and won an off road course with TG mag years ago, just because VBH was going to be there. Guted when she left TG before the prize so wasnt there.
as a joe bloggs, personally, im looking for a small electric bubble car that can pull a small trailer to hold a ride on lawn mower at a push and also do 900kms per charge, can you do that car industry?
I had a 22. FX 2 Ranger. What a piece of junk. It had drivetrain shutter issues and had a terrible shakey highway ride. The dealership could not correct the problem and Ford eventually took it back.
Absolutely no need to engage any of the 4wd options on that road. Had a Navara for 3 years now, and only used 4wd once on an off-road test day. Unless a vehicle is permanent 4wd you should never use it on hard surfaces.
I had one for 3 years, it was stiff to drive around town, challenging to find a parking spot and expensive to maintain. And slow.. as soon as you load it with marginal weight it slows down dramatically. Things that a lot of reviewers don’t tell you. Was happy to sell it and go back to a traditional wagon as a wagon is more practical and easy to live with. 😊done that and not going back again.. cheers from Oz 🇦🇺
You need to buy the Australian version. Totally different Ute. Half of the good gear is missing from the European version. The Aussie one. Built for the Aussie bust, this one made for supermarkets car parks.
My WT has all the same features as hers except to heated steering wheel. My one also came out with the A/T tyres in which hers is the H/T tyres. We are in Australia.
Wow. Haven’t seen Vicki since fifth gear. Glad to see she’s still reviewing cars
Still looking good Vicki!
Brilliantly shot and edited, love this really informative!
I got the Limited version here in Brazil, and I can testify that it is the most competent truck I´ve owned up to now.
I thought Vicky hated off-roading! Good review, good to see her back!

Still the best Vicki 😊
Not a single negative found, more like an advertisement than a review

@@Shilo-fc3xm The whole thing was pretty ridiculous.
😊 it's Vicky broadbean harvester !
What’s MPG like on this new ranger
Hola,muy buenos los videos, la Ford Ranger también se fabrica aquí en Argentina, saludos desde Córdoba
Always love a Vicki drive and review!
When it comes as a range extended EV I will be very interested.

Not particularly full on review but enough for a treat.
What about gearbox reliability
still got it the truck how ever we will never know!!!
This is an advert, it is not a independant item
Cool Truck!
Its not a NEW V6! Its the old PSA Lion engine that has done duty in Land Rovers, Jaguars and some other brands.
Yep as in Disco 4 Disco 5 and range rovers and jags
Problem is is not that durable prone to crankshafts snapping
I think plymouth has a couple steeper
Missed Vicki!

This girl is amazing
In the United States Auto 4WD is unfortunately only available on the top of the line Raptor model
Previous generation rear cover was a complete pain on the runners and lock

And I've never had any trouble whatsoever..

Still prefer the VW Amarok, basically the same car just like fit and finish better!
How can people do honest reviews if they don't highlight a single thing they don't like about a vehicle.
Every thing have good and bad even food so
Vicki lost her fear of off-roading!
I think Countach has more window.
When will car manufacturers get over their obsession with black interior 🤔🤪
And she destroyed that drive line 4L with locked rear diff …
Vicki nice Lady and Truck Ford they need bring Chevy trucks to United Kingdom just as Strong 😮😮😮😮
Why this cynical Ranger when the smaller and more sensible Ford Maverick exists?

Me mate owns a work shop he’s already reconed these v6 crap
Japanese and Korean car makers are good in the world 🌍
Pour monter les trottoirs en ville, ça peut être utile 😡🤬🤬🤬
Steering wheel on wrong side. Will not buy one.
Right hand drive is the way
Junk
