[@mahindrabarat8474]

im definitely subscribing, very honest and indepth review!

[@stickshift8523]

Awesome review Vince P.!

[@alydagsindal]

The best opening ever! 😂🤣

[@danydepp8487]

$1'875.000 is equal to $34.000 USD at 2022. Great review. Thank you!

[@stgt23]

That opening was good, subtle hit to TG! 😉 Wondering how C*** retaliate to that. BTW, the review was great. Everything was covered nicely. Keep it up!

[@cristianboyvillar8192]

Honest review keep it up sir👍🏻

[@jojom.69]

Nice review as always. Best pick-up design wise. Bue that noise insulation / NVH could be a deal breaker. I wonder if the Everest will also have the same "tagaktak" sound as the Ranger.

[@LightWeNeed]

I like this reviewer, keep it up sir

[@robertdionne6073]

Nice naman nito 😊. Yung features ng bed at dimensions nito very good talo ibang japanese pick up. Panalo skin yung 360 camera ok lng kht wala ng adaptive cruise control at mas gsto kp din yung physical buttons ng other control s instead na nasa touch screen. Kung Engine na lang sana ng dmax o ng hilux ang ilagay dito and without those unnecessary electronics panalo na! 😅

[@Rob-bx6xq]

Is a heated steering wheel an option on the new Ranger? Thanks.

[@cammac66]

Hope to review the base variant

[@marlowejoseph2575]

Sir Navarra Pro 4x o Ford Ranger wildtrak 4x4 next Gen?

[@cabrerallyel]

So to confirm, PH Wildtraks doesn't have a parking assist since we don't have the E-Shifter (for now I think)? Is that only available in V6? I see that Malaysian version doesn't have that shifter as well.

[@prolificity]

Nice review Sir Vince. Has Ford resolved the weird tranny behavior of the 2.0 biturbo + 10 speed powertrain combo? Some Aussie and local reviewers pointed this out in the pre-refresh (

[@GlennLibradilla]

Just software updates 😉

[@morewinrealty1534]

Which is better overall? Wildtrak or Mazda BT-50? Thanks!

Hi. Why does the 4x4 Ranger's gear shifter here different from the Australia variant?

[@gelafelipe]

E-shifter I think is only available on the V6 in Australia, or the premium package.

[@joelvictorlicopa8723]

Sir, If I have to choose between the Hilux Conquest 4x4 and this new Wildtrak 4x4, which one should I buy. Thanks.

[@autoindustriya]

It's hard to answer that for you. Have you test driven both? Try first, then send us a message 🙂

[@JosephMarjiamBReyes]

Nakita ko yan in person sa mall. Ganda talaga ng all new ranger pero may minor complain lang ako nga hindi naman deal breaker. Isa na ung hood struts meron kase sa outgoing model pero bumalik din sila sa pop rod ngayon since mabigat talaga hood ni ranger. Sa sun visor vanity mirrors passenger side nalang meron at walang ilaw kahit ung totl 4x4. Ung outgoing model especially 2016 to 2018 wildtrak meron driver and passenger vanity mirror sa sun visors at may ilaw pa. Regarding sa materials, idk lang kung ako lang ba or natigasan ako sa leather material ng steering wheel at dashboard sa wildtrak ngayon compara sa outgoing model malambot talaga at mas premium feel. Rear bumper ni ranger plastic na din hindi gaya dati metal pero halos mga all new pick up ngayon ganyan na kahit ung isuzu dmax, at mazda bt50 plastic na rear bumper. Also bummer about the driver and passenger side air vent cup holders and dual glove box. Only available sa wildtrak variant while sa Sport at XLT wala. Agree ako sa diff lock switch what if masira ung screen paano ma activate ung diff lock or ibang car functions nga walang physical buttons. Mas better kung may fail safe mode ung mga ganyan functions. Also not a fan of its 2.0 engine tbh naka try ako dati pero mas prefer ko ung 3.2 at 2.2 in terms of power delivery and torque feel pero good thing is that bago na ung fuel injectors sa 2.0 nila ngayon at major improvement sa transmission shifting in combination with new torque converter. Also wala na ung clutch fan sa radiator naka electric fan motor na sha parang sa mga sedan nga auxiliary fan. Suprised lang ako sa NVH review mo while most of the other reviewers say best in class daw baka may problem lang sa unit na test nyo.

[@chidorii-kun]

NVH is ok na hindi, ok pag walang ulan, pag umuulan parang may gyera sa ingay. hahaha

[@GlennLibradilla]

Astig talaga ang 2.2L mated with a 6R80 tranny.

[@melvinsamson1741]

Wait, did I miss it or are there really no sub woofer and bed cover included?

[@chidorii-kun]

no power roller shutter, steel rim spare tire, no hood gas struts, not e-shifter therfore no auto park assist.

[@netsektor]

With the center screen at that height, isn't it a bit awkward or a bit unsafe to be looking down if you are using the navigation while driving?

[@DapperSapper515]

Awkward, yes. But you get used to it. Unsafe, no. Due to its size, you can see much better lol.

[@bler43]

i would imagine the nav would be the upper half of the screen. if yes i see now problem

[@ralphkatsidis8338]

Most stupid comment ever....use your common sense if you are using infotainment...and bigger the better visual u have soy boy...

[@ryanmamaril7524]

Your physical button is still part of the electronic system. Makes no difference if it’s on the touchscreen or not.

[@tianchris5158]

Awkward hindi sabihin mo yan kong owner kana lol

[@amoudihassan2681]

Not just the V6 petrol engine for the Ranger Raptor but globally there is also a V6 diesel engine because Ford partnered with Volkswagen. The same engine as the Volkswagen Amarok V6 diesel engine.

[@evoemperor3776]

No the v6 diesel ford used was their own engine the amarok will also be using the ford engine.

[@demitriousjim]

finally someone calls out about FORD's reliability

[@dudscortez6403]

Why does the Stick shift look different than the other Wildtraks I've been seeing here on KZbin? The others have a shorter stick for the 2023 Ford Ranger Wildtrak.

[@JDMongcog]

its V6 variant, i think. this wildtrak is only Inline 4

[@jemmariano3214]

natawa ko sa intro

[@briethlayson3270]

Pag sobra sobra pera ko ito kunin ko pero yung manual tranny. Pero if sakto lang doon na ako sa japanese brand. Medyo mahal din kasi pyesa ng mga US brand na sasakyan

[@rondg2]

you're right about ford suppliers, they always pick the lowest bidder LOL. that's why you don't see very many old fords still driving around (no, the lynx was a mazda). so i daily drive a honda, the ford goes out on weekends sometimes coz you can't wear out a ford too much it'll explode LOL

[@fkelaomster2583]

It's not just the diff locks & auto-hold systems that has no physical button but also i'm greatly concern of retaining of its unreliable 2.0 bi-turbo diesel engine because i personally had a bad experience on my 2021 ranger raptor w/c one of its turbo has blown for no apparent reason! i still prefer the old 3.2 turbodiesel engine & the new enhanced & improved 3.0 V6 "Lion" diesel engine also used in f150 & land rover cars..

[@nagatouchiha8739]

what do you mean unreliable? what are the issues w/ their 2.0 engine? Thanks

[@ganguru01]

My friend has a raptor too. The turbo got blown too and the issue with its transmission. He sold it just after a year of ownership. That’s why I just bought a conquest.

[@nagatouchiha8739]

@@ganguru01 so does it also apply to the all new everst w/ d same 2.0 engine?

[@mvidalloiii]

Question sa mga nasiraan ng turbo/tranny, heavily modified ba ang Raptors nyo? Heavy meaning madaming additional weight?

[@fkelaomster2583]

​@@mvidalloiiiHuh? even we change its rims into a heavier 20 inch cast steel & put bulletproof armor, the turbos is still unaffected.. In my area w/c in davao, all 2 of us that time owning ranger raptor that was victimized by the same fate, a blown turbos, are all bone stock & also to mention, along w/ us is 5 more raptor owners was facing a much bigger problem w/c their 10-speed transmission is faulty/damageed, this is more dangerous bcause it wil cause serious accidents, imagine driving hghspeed on mjor hghwy then suddenly your car stalls.. on my blown turbos, the casa guys/mechanic didn't really explain what causes it, but they said ihe turbos are extremely sensitive, from debris na pumasok dhil sa faulty filter, not enough lubrication to mismanage its maintenance but we all concluded that this engine, turbos & transmission is a major engineering flaw by ford, & hope it won't be the same case w/ next gen ranger/everest..

Long term reliability matters

[@duranduran70]

I dont think keeping your car for a long time is not a wise idea anymore. Every 2 to 3 years there’s new technology infused to a new model also the design and aethetics change not like in the olden days. This is the reason why most Americans prefer to lease their car instead of financing to own it.

[@mvidalloiii]

Not everyone cares about new technologies. Wise or not, others just want their vehicles to last. This shouldn't be treated like phones.

[@MayAnneLuyun]

@@duranduran70 it depends. If aesthetics and technology matter to you when buying cars, some or at least most of Filipino car buyers prefer reliability especially for a utility truck. Remember we are not Americans. Filipinos buy cars that has great value for money in terms of reliability. Majority of our population doesn’t have the luxury of changing cars every 2-3yrs.

[@RRRRapify]

[@juvelocampo8019]

Need to improve: "too high tech" so what is the improvement you are expecting?

[@iryankali2041]

Long term reliability is his concern. Samsung phones only last 4 years after updates and such. With a lot of hightech phone-like features, electronic failure is the main concern. Physical button for the the mechanical bits is better than tinkering with software compatibility.

[@smnote3977]

Gusto kc nila yung pang old school pa rin na technology na kapag masira pukpukin lng ni mekaniko ok na... Kya di pumapatok mga hybrid cars dto sa pinas masyado kasi techy bka daw masira 😁

[@iryankali2041]

@@smnote3977 we'll see if it last. Not like we can easily buy cars and change it after a few years. Hybrids are expensive as f tho here in PH. Starting prices are horrendous. Filipino will always want something cheaper and easier to repair than a hybrid system where not a lot of mechanics know how to patch up in many cases outside major repair hubs. Considering where they put their money in the long run is a good investment for the many out there.

Almost everything in this ranger is ok, except the hood lift which is not gas/ hydraulic type. It's an " Old school" type of hood lift that you can find in cheaper cars, owner type jeeps & pujs' which is not safe !!! It's a shame that they call it the "next gen". Due to that, i'll just stick to my 2016 ranger wildtrak & wait till they change that hood lift...

[@lengerer]

No, v6 amarok rewrote the ute segment 10 yrs ago. Ford finally caught up after consultation with VW engineers

[@motorpolitan8884]

Something must be wrong with the car you got or you're the only honest journalist. Absolutely everybody has said the Ranger's NVH is top of the class. Some of course did say the rain was too loud but you said it's not just that.

Vince, you nailed the '23 Ranger review as well! I think more drivers will now prefer the new T6 over the previous one, because of the many improvements internally and externally. We're not sure, but if Ford PH decides to bring the V6 in, this will put the Hilux, D-Max, Navara and even the Strada to shame. Hope to see the '23 Everest as well in this channel. 🛻🚙

[@alipaguia6498]

As awesome as the V6 model is (it easily breaks traction and does drifts in 2WD mode!), Ford PH will not bring the Ranger V6 Diesel for as long as the F-150 exists. Ford will say that if you want the V6 Ranger, just buy the F-150 since it has the same engine. As a consolation though, the Raptor will likely get the 3.0 EcoBoost V6 thanks to Thailand having it so there's that.

[@intradibles]

Yes agree. He should make up his mind. Because even expensive european cars like range rover, bmw with so much tech will have problems. Personal choice na lang yan kung gusto mo ba ma enjoy yung tech or gusto mo konti lang ang tech. And kadalasan naman ng buyers, di na nila pinapaabot ng 10yrs ang car nila kasi wala na sa uso yan pagdating ng 10yrs. Benta na nila in 5 yrs then bili ng bago.

About sa technology ni new ranger wala nmn ako nakikita n problem sa mga camera, sensor, monitor, computer nya unless bahain. Kya di kami bumibili ng cheap flooded car. Example nu nlng mga CP, laptop nyo or camera. Yung sa amin nagana pa khit 10 years na ang problem lang bumabagal dahil sa mga new app na mataas specs.
