@@joshdoolan7942 hAs MoRe FeAtUrEs can you imagine what you could do to a vehicle with 45 grand? Make it a shitload better than a ranger that's for sure.
I love my 2011 Isuzu Dmax 4x2. Super reliable super economical. I will try the Mahrindra for the same reasons I bought the Isuzu in 2011. A cheaper reliable vehicle without the thrills of the Toyota etc.
Three fords in a road test, and a hole lot of other makes of 4x4 not there. I will not take you desk jockeys seriously any more as i believe under hand payments with ford are highly likely with you lot..
Lots of critics but i love the test. And the reason is pretty simple: i own a Ranger Raptor and i am very happy with this truck. For me the best car i have ever owned and driven!
Autoexpert channel does a great review. Works out it has a mire realistic payload and gross combine mass than ranger. You'll have to watch the video for the explanation as I can't remember.
Congratulations guys you made an awesome extensive review of the best 4x4 out there right now in Australia and probably same for the rest of the world. Experience wise you nailed it right.
This was definitely not a campaign to see which 4X4 is the best. This seemed to be a campaign to drive 4X4's that was available for the event at the time, and has nothing to do with selecting the best 4X4 for 2019. The heading is misleading.
Yeah !!!! we don't want to see vehicles tested by old boys who have been driving for 40 years we want to see drainpipe pants on bearded hipsters who've never left the confines of Melbourne CBD and wince at the thought of some dust on their RayBans
Good to see you removed the old video that was of extremely poor quality. The old video had one of your "Judges" saying something about Live axles and Fully independent suspension on one of the vehicles. Good to see that was removed too. But the big question stands. "How much did Ford pay to have 3 vehicles in this and how much did Mahindra and Ssangyong pay to be even mentioned? Pretty piss poor line up for 4x4 of the Year if you ask me.
The fact you didn't include isuzu dmax, mux or Toyota Landcruiser in this test definitively confirms you have no credibility whatsoever. Obviously your reviews are driven by financial influence. Shame on you!
Did any of those release a new or updated model in 2018? You obviously don't understand the criteria. When they do an updated model, they'll be tested in that year.
Great video and proper 4x4 reviews. Would be even better if you guys could up the resolution to 1440p or even better 4K so we can get a fuller sense of the outback.
I wish we knew what vehicle they were talking about near the end ie the USB comments. Generally it would have been really interesting hearing those discussions about the good and bad of each vehicle. Please include it in the 2020 roundup.
Owen Kelly because you get the same if not better out of the 50k core!! Actually better in a lot of ways... spend 5k on a core and you have everything!!!... suspension, tyres, and even chipped if you like that sort of thing!!!
Holy shit. You honestly think anything from VW could come close to that Raptor you're absolutely kidding yourself. You think a 75k VW would be better out in the bush. This is a stupid comment
@@kingwillbisthebest got no idea mate. also cant read it seems too, he said if you buy a core for 45k which you can... and spend 5k or 10k on it you get a much better car than the raptor.
@@samscott8727 I can read perfectly well. Mate if you spend 5 or 10k on a core you still don't come close to that Raptors capabilities. Ford spent millions engineering that Raptor on top of the hundreds of millions developing the Ranger(best ute in Aus). If you think you can wack on some after market kit and it'll hold a candle to the Raptor, you've got rocks in your head. Another stupid comment.
@@kingwillbisthebest hey mate what car do you drive? Also you don't think VW, one of the best car manufacturers in the world doesn't spend millions engineering their cars ? The raptor comes stock with 33's and a 2 inch lift so you're looking at roughly 3k spent on it compared toany other stock ute. What if I had another $27,000 to spend on a V6 amarok. You're looking at Egr dpf delete remap (200kw at wheels) . Bar work all round, tray and jack off cannopy, roofracks, awnings, fuel filters fridges batteries and almost anything else you could want for the same price as the ford raptor. Yeah great mate if I want a fitted out raptor for 110k I'll go for a land cruiser instead...
I specifically came to see the triton, went straight to the end, then read the savage comments. Had I not done that I would have wasted 30 mins of my life.
You're right about the triton being the best value but you couldn't honestly argue it's anywhere near that Raptor. The Triton is an awesome vehicle though
Geez I bloody hope HSV were paying attention because they have been completely and utterly put to shame by that Ford Raptor. HSV just completely missed the mark with the SportsCat(shit name too)!
Is it just me but you have a Mahindra and a Rexton in the field...but no Triton or Navara...or D Max....did I miss the Hi Lux? Sorry but I move on the negatives and really have to question the motivation behind this review....sorry but it hardly does you guys credit! BS review and no credibility whatsoever. Used to love your reviews but this one is the worst I have ever seen. Ron Moon you should know better with all your experience !!!! I am now hitting the unsubscribe button!!!! Bye Bye!
Included the Amarok again purely cause it's the bottom version instead of the top? No surprises then on how it drives so why include it? Fair enough if there were mechanical changes.
What about the worst tyres on Australian roads, Dunlop AT22 on the XLT Ranger? Too hard and hopeless in the wet! not fit for purpose and very dangerous.
I AGREE THEY COULD HAVE INVOLVED MORE PICK UPS TO MAKE IT FAIR ALTHOUGH THAT RAPTER DOES REALLY REALLY PERFORM EXELLENT IN THE OFFROAD SEGGMENT AS IT IS MADE FOR OFFROAD ,I MEAN COMR ON IF YOU HAVE EVER DRIVEN ONE YOI WOULD UNDERSTAND IT SIMPLY YUST OFFERS SOO MUCH MORE OFFROAD FUTURES AND THAT SUSPENSION IS UNBELIEVABLE
cough cough wheres the hi lux, d-max, Holden Colorado and land cruiser cough cough. sure ford raptor is nice but its only stranded turn any old truck that's better than all those
Just an advert for some over priced utes from ford?, a VW with no transfer case and a very low stance a good offroader? your joking right? the vw should not even be with this lot it's more of a twin cab subaru. it's just a car, where's the mitsu?? you old blokes (im one myself) need to look around, your bias for pretty cars is too obvious,, autonomous braking in the bush? adaptive cruise control? real assets in the scrub! I don't think, sitting on your arse in front of a computer counting the cash from the ford advertisements make your opinions in this comparison useless to an offroader
@@kingwillbisthebest I never said that Raptor was the most expensive vehicle of the bunch. What I did mean is that it leaves a lot to be desired from a supposedly prestigious magazine to select a halo vehicle as 4x4 of the year. Everybody knows that the Raptor is a marketing gimmick. No serious 4x4 enthusiast would pick the Raptor over a good base platform with aftermarket modifications. Take the suspension for instance: that Fox suspension doesn’t even come close to an Icon, a King, or a top OME set-up. For the Raptor’s price, anyone can go and get a more capable 4x4 using a Hilux or a D-Max and have money left for tons of goodies. If you don’t account for the ‘value’ aspect, supercars and flagship luxury models would always be selected “car of the year”. Putting halo vehicles such as the Raptor on the same field as mass-produced models is preposterous. In short, this whole comparison for the “4x4 of the Year” feels like a charade.
where is the new Mitsubishi L200 Triton (sportero)??? The new Pajero sport?... and Plz... Where the F#&/# is the Toyota Hilux????. Because there you have a Mahindra scorpio, even a Ssangyong... but we don't see the SW4 fortuner and 4Runner....???
What a bizarre group of test vehicles? Like honestly including vehicles like a Rexton or a Mahindra is just weird and quite frankly a waste of your time and the viewers, they are an irrelevant and low sale number vehicle in comparison to the entire segment. Surely you'd focus on providing your viewers with a comparison on the top 3 Dual Cabs and the top 3 Dual Cab based SUVs as a basis and then throw in a few wild cards for entertainment, but im guessing Toyota, Mitsubishi, Isuzu etc. Did not want to give you any test vehicles for this feature.....
Set criteria that automatically excludes vehicles that might actually beat the schill mobiles you are testing in this segment. You guys are bought and paid for and potential buyers should give little credence to what you say.
Mahindra 30K ...????
Competition ends here.. 🏁🏆😀🤘lmao.
Don't have a dog in this fight but the Mahindra actually looks like a real bush vehicle
An $83,000 car won!
I'd also be interested in reliability/warranty data for these cars.
And I'm sure you missed out on some eg D-Max.
It's for new or updated models
That SangYoung is Mahindra in India. So does the Scorpio not compete in this segment?
Love the way the Amarok looses a piece of the front bumper in the water. It'll be great in the bush
then get a bullbar? or a lift. or dont drive through water at 50ks
$85,000 for a Ford Ranger. I'll just buy a Triton and pocket the other $45,000
That’s true but the ranger does have more 4wdriving features so if your willing to pay the money

There was no mention of this years TRITON, might only have a 3.1 tonne capacity but it carries more in the car while doing so!!
The 3.1 max is more realistic for these utes anyway. Crazy to tow 3.5 as it destroys these utes
