[@fermacartojani6979]

I own one 2.2 Limited and I love it. Best car I owned so far.

Glad t hear it. I have jut ordered one with the off road pack /

[@calumaitchison]

Glad to have mine orders too now....cant wait for April to come. also nice to finally found a ranger video in the colour that i want it in. Is yours manual/automatic?

[@sheraziqbal9556]

Is it reliable?

[@fermacartojani6979]

@@sheraziqbal9556 not really; I had to sell it due to gearbox severe issues at around 37,000 km if i am not very wrong; I bought the new model, we have around 20,000 km and no problems with this one; the gearbox issues on previous model are known problems...

[@konarider1215]

I’ve got a limited identical to this, best car I’ve owned 👌🏻

[@olivierstar8345]

Any problem so far?

[@jamieford1045]

I went a test drive one yesterday a fell in love pick it up next week

[@sap3055]

I had a ford ranger limited 3.2 litre from 2017 and it was a nightmare of electrical problems they changed all the wiring butt still it had trouble an I'm not alone my father and two off my friends had the same problem so we all decided to buy new cars I ended up with a amarok v6 and oh my it's a beast

[@rotorhead5006]

I'm toying with a pick up to assist work options, and I want to like the Ranger, but that sort of reliability puts me off. That and absolutely shocking dealer down here.

[@sap3055]

@@rotorhead5006 the models from 2015 and back was reliable butt in 2016 they started to put a lot of electrical bullshit into the but isn't not just that the harness itself is really bad I had a amarok before this but I had some problems with the paint falling off it but the same happens with the ranger asvel but except from that the amarok is a strong and reliable workhorse so I bought a amarok v6 aventura but sadly Volkswagen decided to stop producing them now and engage in a partnership with Ford ranger the isuzu and hilux are reliable but to week and uncomfortable

[@rotorhead5006]

@@sap3055 There's quite a lot about the D-Max I like (especially the 2020 model), but not convinced by a 1.9 litre donkey up front...

[@sap3055]

It maybe the camera angle but the 3 pin plug socket looked upside down?

[@jasontholen]

Why will the taxman be rubbing his hands at the Co2 emissions? I thought all pickups had a standard road tax of £265 per year?

[@hedydd2]

That's correct. This is a dual purpose commercial vehicle and the price should be quoted before VAT, as it is reclaimable by the vast majority of customers.

[@pooleheating]

Am I missing something? why would the CO2 emissions make any difference to the TAX on a commercial vehicle?

[@titakristengco]

It like a Ford Everest I wonder if it available in UK to the Everest SUV

[@philryan7254]

I love it ,,, but at over 30g a bit too rich for me .... Cheers Phil

[@dipesh5038]

Is ranger really not a reliable truck? It costs 9 millions and planning to buy here in Nepal? please suggest me

[@AllenHart999]

Ford have totally gone to pot with the reliability and service, I have always had Ford vans but after the last one it’s unlikely I would ever buy another. Shame as they are the best looking vans.

[@gdmoto4176]

review the Wildtrak version, it has better interior than the Amarok

[@CarKeysUKOfficial]

I don't think Ryan will get a different trim of this, but thanks Gio, we'll check it out.

[@titakristengco]

Car Keys UK better try a ford Everest

[@hedydd2]

Not only is this a commercial vehicle and subject to the same tax concessions to most self employed and businesses that buy these things. VAT is also reclaimable, so its price should be quoted without VAT first and only then including VAT for the tiny proportion of customers daft enough to buy one while not being able to use it as a commercial vehicle and claim the concessions. There's more…. This particular pickup exceeds a certain unladen weight that limits its speed limit to 10mph less than a car's speed limit on the majority of British roads. Why no mention of these things by reviewers? They are far more important points for a potential owner than some of the other dross.

[@daveslayer6214]

If you do your research you will find it is actually 19kg below said limit and therefore not restricted to Hgv speed limits...Ohh and the tax is only £250 per year not £265

[@konarider1215]

Price should include gst/vat not everyone’s a tax dodging millionaire farmer driving it for a willy extension

[@hedydd2]

@@konarider1215 It is a commercial vehicle though. A work truck. If you are daft enough to buy it for personal use and are not able to reclaim the purchase tax or get tax relief on it as a business work tool, think on… just who is buying it as a willy extension? Hmm, not the chap who carries his ton tote bag of cement or bed full of tools, or tows his mini-digger behind, that's for sure.

[@konarider1215]

The commercial thing only applies to the uk, most countries double cabs are classed as cars.. The ranger is basically an suv with a tub on the back. My ranger has an autobox, leather seats and metallic paint and 5 star safety, most euro hatchbacks don’t come with all that. For work you’d be better off with an Iveco or something.. not sure where you’re from btw

[@hedydd2]

@@konarider1215 The whole of Europe and Australia has similar rules, hence the 1040kg payload capacity and 3.5 ton towing capacity in all but the Ranger Raptor, which does not qualify as a commercial vehicle. In countries where this does not apply, pickups of this type [four door] generally have softer rear springs and a 600 to 750kg payload and a lower towing capacity, similar to the Raptor. My Ranger also has 'leather' electric seats and an auto box. The leather, which is mostly plastic not real leather, and is great for wiping down when wet and for not absorbing dust and not ultimately smelling. It is a 2.2 diesel with six speed auto and regularly carries a ton and even more regularly tows a full 3.5 tons. If you wish to buy such a 'truck' [the clue is in the name] for leisure use and you are willing to forego the advantages given to business users as opposed to domestic and leisure users in financial terms, that is entirely your affair. More people seem to be attracted to pickups for leisure these days even though a really nice-driving SUV can usually be bought for the same money. Indeed one of my employees has just bought a nice three year old Mitsubishi L200/Triton to replace his very old VW Caddy pickup. He had to pay the VAT [20% in UK] on top of the £11,000 purchase price and he has already seen his weekly fuel bill skyrocket. He loves it though and it suits him fine because he mows lawns and goes commercial fencing on his days off full time work.

typical ford with those economy figures, expensive to run

[@celticpatriot1527]

were you expecting a vehicle that can tow 3.5 tonnes to have better fuel economy than a mini?
