The Ford Ranger is now in its third generation and this latest model is designed to offer the most car-like driving experience yet, without compromising the Ranger's load-carrying or off-road abilities. There are plenty of body style choices, a good choice of engines and the Ranger even looks pretty good too.

Nice shape, strong looking, and elegant. The truck is nice too.

[@sbstnpofadder]

Wow the off roading was very intense.

[@briansperryn]

+Bastian P a family hatch could probably handle that '"off roading"

[@amarsahinovic1347]

Bastian P I bet my Yugo from whatever year it is could do that BTW. I don't have a Yugo

[@sos6967]

@@amarsahinovic1347 my wheelbarrow can hande it better

[@christophervilliers8395]

That what I though more like a dirt road.

[@milosilic23]

I like the fact that they are testing all sorts of vehicles, not only one type. Rebeca, you've come a long way since your first review! keep up the good work :)

[@loumidis15]

you know its a nice day when you see a carbuyer vid, on your subscription box :P

[@ThehatedDrillie]

I just test drove the 3.2 turbo wildtrack in the UK, the noise of the engine is abit loud but the sound of the turbo spooling up makes up for it, soft smooth ride, i love ford always have and to be honest they are able to build better now than 10 years ago

[@wfangnxd117]

Nice guns Rebecca! Brilliant review too...very in depth

[@kaleelramzeen9917]

Stunning and gorgeous look.

[@Jack-ks1qm]

Love this car with the Raptor grill.

[@peterernestcrowther]

I love this reviewer, she's great! I love this review of hers as she's taken her (bloody) coat off!

[@chokapy]

Yes! We miss it!

[@PiliaeAl]

my Ranger needs her in it

[@wtrdogg20]

Very good review... and she looks so good. It seems she spends time at the Gym, and I love it!

[@averageguytested]

I like her style! good review

[@wtrdogg20]

By the way, have you ever heard about SECURING THE LOAD? That is something you have to do in all kind of freight or cargo vehicles. Thats the way you make sure the stuffs doesnt fly away when you drive fast. If you wanna cover the cargo from weather, just put a cover on it, if the regular load is not tall, then get a cargo bed cover or camper. Dude, this type of small Pick Up Trucks are more common and popular around the world than you think. An F-150 is great, but not for all missions.

[@SaruwatariMasahiro]

Please make a test for Pick-ups and utility vehicles to see how much stuff fits in the trunk, such as a scooter/motorcycle/furniture piece and so on fit test.

[@chandamusonda6883]

10 years have passed from this review. Please do a review on the new V6 Ranger.

[@truknayr23]

yeah.... you do that.... and we will do what we can with our trucks... Cheers!

[@sgolsen]

The imperial (UK) gallon is defined as 4.54609 litres. The US gallon is 3.785411784 litres and is legally defined as 231 cubic inches. So the mileage numbers will be much higher on UK car reviews when compared to numbers stated in US car reviews since the UK gallon is larger.

[@chrishastey1]

Here in the States, we consider the Ranger to be a small truck - the average truck where I am here in Texas is a 1/2 class Ford, Chevrolet, or Dodge 4 door short bed truck which makes a Ranger look tiny. Our F-150's come with a 360HP/380 Lb-Ft 5.0L V-8 or a 6.2L V8 with 411HP/434 Lb-Ft. Even the Base model 3.7L V-6 delivers 302HP/278 Lb-Ft.

[@LegacyIvyTerascale]

happy 300 videos

[@whoisit9230]

I just saw this pickup truck in the Philippines and for me, this pickup truck is the most beautiful.

[@kens97sto171]

I would love to see her take a King Cab Long bed dually into one of those car parks she mentioned. Good looking truck... hope they bring it back to the States.. was a shame they quit making it. I think we could use at least ONE small pickup over here.

[@1BlubeTube]

So they did stop making the Ford Ranger here in the states? But you know, the Ford Ranger in this video looks like the Ford Explorer that we have here, what is the deal with that. And the Ford Ranger in this video defeats the purpose of what earlier Ford Rangers were built for, Utility.

[@jorgeu111]

You can have tacoma and frontier. Also, GM is launching the colorado again for 2015

[@thatonedickinthecommentsse9556]

Thats some crazy off-roading

[@truknayr23]

Cheers mate!

[@GMcreations77]

she is heaps good loking !!!! good review too !! keep up the good work

[@aviator1228]

I agree. So much for "One World, One Ford".

[@felixfelizitas]

love pickup truck than car ~ not bad performance while climbing and u can go anywhere u like .. thats why i love them !

[@moddingpark]

So it's time so review the VW Amarok, guys! Nice review anyway!

[@georgemoore93]

1:26 wow look at that ruthless off camber she's getting on!!

[@soko1450]

Well it looks like my next truck will have to be a Tacoma since America has abandoned the compact truck and this truck will never come to the US. Not to mention this thing is almost as big as an F150 anyway. Of course I plan on keeping my 09 Ranger at least another five to ten years so we'll have to see what's around then.

[@soko1450]

***** I sure hope so but with the amount of F150's that Ford sells there is really no incentive to do so. To me even the new Canyon/Colorado leans toward full-size a little too much. I sure do hope GM did a lot to improve the quality of these over the previous generation. Only time will tell. If they did then I would consider buying one of those as well. I bought a light duty truck on purpose. I've owned a couple half tons in the past. My Ranger does everything I need it to and I don't have everyone and their brother asking me to help move or haul a load of sheet rock for them.

[@blacklabelx89]

Thanx Rebeca :)

[@1BlubeTube]

I love the earlier Ford Rangers that actually looked like a pick-up-truck.

[@sonofjak1971]

Yes i do!

[@DreadlockDrummer]

shes so cute! but funny that she says that thing is hard to park, come to north america and see the big f350, then you'll park that tiny little truck with ease

[@trefod]

Come to Europe and see the width of our roads and parking spaces. Our cities were planned and build before America was discovered. It doesn't leave room for a whole lot.

[@satnitcboy]

trefod And to be fair, REbecca said it was at a covered garage - challenging for any but a small pickup.

[@MikeDunn]

trefod America was discovered in 1492, so your cities haven't been upgraded since the 15th century???

[@trefod]

MikeDunn The old city centers of some of Europe's capitals were laid out by the Romans. America was discovered in 1492, but your cities were founded much later and in many cases in a time where horse and buggy transport was taken into consideration. It is difficult to upgrade a city by widening the space between buildings, especially if said buildings are considered worth preserving.

[@MikeDunn]

trefod Good answer!

[@liammccallion9837]

The thing I love about this car is it's designed in Australia

[@davedidashit9879]

Great review. The Ford Ranger is an off road truck. Big, difficult to park around town, and an easy clean plastic interior. Great for off road and a building site which is what they are designed for. Not a comfortable family car.

[@suleb1]

I was gonna tell you all to review this !!! :O

[@hakeemsd70m]

Nice, fit, and lean with just the right amount of curves and crevices...the truck has those too ;)

[@hawkermustang]

Nice truck.

[@seanwhelan3735]

My apologies ....I stand corrected ! Anyway I was lucky enough to drive this and it really does pull like a train . It beats the crap out of my Merc van in that department.Taking delivery of one in a few days. By the way does this also mean a UK pint is bigger than a US pint

[@danocrenshaw7055]

I am getting a 1996 ford ranger

[@DEdge1221]

Just love how they got rid of it in the states, but it is still available everywhere else! We still need light duty trucks here, people.

[@BarryShite25]

Somewhere to store my pen 😂 I know somewhere you can store my pen Rebecca 😏

[@mickblock]

dirt road = off road?

[@lamealex17]

how reliable and dependable is it? im planning on getting the limited 3.2 one vs a hilux dont know which one though

[@sedag100]

I hear ya :D

[@sparkss4]

holy sh*t you're buff... here's to more sleeveless reviews!

[@rafspitfire]

Great review, but it seems the centre armrest does not apply to you!

[@codycross7063]

the pronunciation of garage... gets me every time

[@zachbrown7837]

Sacrificing bed space for a bigger cab? What's the point of this thing?

[@RichardJoashTan]

the Ranger was named International Truck of the Year 2012

[@jjrdias]

Very pretty. The car's fine as well.

[@Havark420]

I like how they cut out the part where she has to park it!

[@marbensol]

agree!!

[@rodrigorosatoalves]

I really don't care about trucks, Im just watching this so I can keep hearing her adorable voice and accent! *____*

[@jasontholen]

Love reading all the american comments about how big there trucks are, and how small this is. Maybe they forget that we don't generally have a massive amount of room on the UK roads, and our parking areas can be tight to park a normal hatchback in. Must admit, I like the F150, and absolutely love the sound from the V8's in the US, but I would be more than happy to park this in my driveway. Looks mean enough to mean business in the UK. Only thing letting it down is the fuel consumption only being around the 30mpg mark.

[@subodhchawla]

0:32 "Just look at the size of this trunk - its absolutely ideal for carrying all sorts of commercial equipment around!" - hehe! XD

[@user-hd9ds4dj2q]

very strong biceps

[@1001ewaste]

No idea why I'm responding to this but oh well, it's actually been argued that it's safer to have your dominant side in control of the steering, brake and watching the oncoming traffic. So some including me would argue it's the other way round, but i would rather just be ready to take someone out with a lance if need be.

[@waticala3000]

please do the VW Amarok review!!!

[@Siper2]

Agreed, on the engines, though frankly a diesel would be a great option to have. Diesels are very slowly creeping back in to our market. Slower than I'd like, but I'm in the minority on that front, I suspect. :-] Yes I'm aware of One Ford and the standardization initiative, however I had read previously that this wouldn't be coming Stateside. Could have been conjecture.

[@manuelntu]

daamn, in the beginning of the vid you can see her muscles! She works out a lot!

[@Dave998100]

Why isn't it sold here in the US anymore???

[@boy638]

could you review the mazda bt-50 which is also based on this ranger? i wanna see whats the difference.

[@IbanezPlayer124]

The inside is pretty nice, outside reminds me of a new Colorado. Wish this was in the U.S. :(

[@thetechfan3038]

IbanezPlayer124 It Is in 2019

[@BackyardSpaceProgram]

5 stars in EURO NCAP, very good!

[@Romanamon]

But does the water bottle fit in the flat bed?

[@dannymartinez4177]

How many mpg? I kinda like the Colorado too

[@Trc7980]

Ford ranger is my favorite truck I wish they would sell it in the U.S.!!

[@ericandcolleen]

3.2 Liter diesel...yes please!

[@mattfordyce7309]

I am so jealous of that driver's seat

[@CJBMAGGOT94]

It's fine. Iv'e never driven a Ford Ranger, but I have driven a Expedition. I just don't like the way fords put the power to the ground I guess. I'm not sure on that pint, I just know that the gallons are different because I love cars! :)

[@giannitedeschi]

Rebecca, sei il numero 1 !!!

[@AdrianC12345]

It's much bigger and taller than the outgoing Ranger, but compared to all the sub compacts in Europe it does feel teeny.

[@stevenvaldez6817]

She's keeps in good shape

[@ianstoyan]

does it have a six foot bed?

[@RanGer-498]

You stated the rear seats are 1.good for adults taller than 6'2" tall but then in another vehicle you state its great for average size hight adults ...so what is average size ? 2.you stated the center is only good for kids yet you fit there perfect. 3.what are dashes made of on all vehicles? Plastic I'm guessing since it is on my honda ridgeline, my friends vw and friends tacoma and tundra and frontiers ect...

[@Tednessful]

Btw I can't believe you stepped into the car using your left foot haha

[@chadsteele1]

I'd like to park my Ranger in her Garage...

[@navinb3163]

me too bro me too :)

[@vc821030]

She works out !

[@chucknorris1695]

If I'd only I known that it came with with serious guns! Yeah they're hot, but is that a bad thing? It has a nice shape around the rear end and the sound is a quite attractive note. What, there's a ute in there somewhere?

[@NickHey]

Hard interior plastics? they are better than whats in an Amarok, or maybe the UK gets a crappier trim level than Aus?

[@lockheed12345]

Wow whats with the Pershing tank.

[@samsadeniz]

Rebecca is super fit

[@thebox228]

Oh yes!

[@kainetaylor8848]

How fast is it

[@theosplanesandtravelong3620]

How come you haven't reviewed the ranger wildtrak

[@SidTitus]

sorry i couldn't notice, is that a truck in this video?

[@michaelbowen8631]

Passenger side steering wheel new for 2017. I like it.

[@insainllama]

This thing is huge compared to the old model.

[@gavinabrahams5242]

Xlt auto good buy . Will buy one . Does she come with the auto . Very cute

[@Siper2]

Nice arms! Nice truck too, but y'know, just saying. :-] I'm unsure if Ford will be using this for the new Ranger here in the USA; as of a few months ago, it seemed to be an unsure proposition. I like it, though, so I hope they do.

[@ejb_92]

Dang! Those arms!

[@giorgichomakhidze7415]

what model this pickup?

[@22okaba]

What would you recommend? This New Ford Ranger, 2012 Toyota Hilux, D-Max Isuzu, Nissan Navara, or Mitsubishi L200 or rather Strada??? Please everybody, I need your opinion. Thanks!

[@ryandavis151]

hard to park lol you should see the internatinal MXT that lives down the street from me.;)

[@1100HondaCB]

Yes indeed. In the UK we pay an awful lot for things.

[@makavelimayweather8587]

Having one of this I could talk from what I know! 2 problems, the deck cannot be replace by another & it isn't dat roomy inside consider if ur a big person.

[@kwamegabriel5563]

Where can get a left side door lock

[@seanwhelan3735]

sorry to disappoint you but a gallon is a gallon . The same here as in the States and that mpg is combined . You'd probably get 40 on a run if you're not too heavy on the throttle
