FORD RANGER THUNDER D/C 4WD 2.5 2006 Road Test Drive - The UK Car Reviews.

[@sphumendlovu7482]

I bought this today it's a 3.0 TDCi and drove it home which was a 6 hour drive. Firstly I come from driving a 2016 BMW 116i f21 which is a three door sport so understand that getting a bakkie was a real mind flip for me. I liked it when I saw it with all its scratches n dents, I got to know it driving home and discovered it's a he rather than a she😂😂, very aggressive, very powerful, quick on take off, he's not as thirsty as I thought he would be. The steering is very vague and the cabin noise is extremely loud. With all that 6 hours later when I parked him in my carport I had fallen in love with his ruggedness and discovered I already named him too. His name is Tom Ford and by Gucci I'm in absolute love with him❤❤❤

[@selmighaith1831]

oil engine is 5w30 or 5w40 ???

[@CarForumOnline]

Very unlikely as we have annual vehicle testing here in the UK so anything of serious wear would have been corrected.

Bare in mind that the review is done on a 2006 with 70000 miles which is not a lot of miles

[@AngelFlores_133]

Thank you for the review sir, I am thinking of buying one here in Dominican Republic, my question is are these diesel Rangers reliable?

[@efanhoward6980]

In my experience yes

[@samvingtneuf]

Put good oil in it and it will run for ages

[@dmotors27]

Just because that one has steering lag doesn't mean all others with have that problem. Maybe that one has been driven on bad roads for all of its 70000 miles. Also brakes may be worn. I hate people that slag a vehicle off judging on one that's done that's lots miles.

[@Jac7968]

are you sure thats 2006?

[@dmotors27]

It's enough miles to have worn brakes and joints.

[@vijayt638]

i think there's and issue with you
