Ford Ranger XL 4x4 MT, The best base model in its segment?

This video is about the #Ford Ranger XL 4x4 2023 model with manual transmission which I think is good buy for a basic 4x4 pick up truck in the Philippines. For a price of P1.2 Million Pesos, you get a basic pick up with a lot of features.

[@markpahate7019]

Ganda ng build quality. Looked at one sa dealer on two separate occassions. Pagbukas at pagsara ko ng pinto, maganda ang weight. Yung ibang brand parang masisisira ko yung pinto. And that headunit is even better than top end variants ng iba.

[@iamosem]

This is the type of review I'm always looking for. A legitimate owner's perspective. You earned a new subscriber sir! Please don't change your format. :)

still waiting for someone who bought the XL. I wanna know ur thoughts

[@user-xc8xc2lk2w]

My real owner review. i also own an xl 4x4 ranger next gen and an everest trend next gen both single turbo and pareho specs ang makina. Mas mabagal ang manual xl kesa sa everest trend na automatic. Sarap tapak sa everest na auto , kahit may turbo lag sumisirit pa rin kaagad, walang kabitin bitin. Sa xl, di maganda ratio ng 2nd gear, garalgal o mamatay ang makina pag nalingat ka. Nasanay ako sa response ng everest kaya inip na inip ako pag ranger dala ko. Mas maganda naman ang xl kasi walang traction control. Walang magloloko na electronic traction control, hill hold assist. Sa everest kailangan i off mo yong traction control pag medyo loose gravel o dirt yong inaatrasan or minamaniobra mo. Hand brake is mechanical, which is better than the electronic handbrake in the everest or higher model rangers na pwedeng magloko ang electronic control niya. old style rotary igniton switch, halogen headlights ang xl ranger , which i prefer specially during rainy nights. Mas matagtag din ang ranger kaya binaba ko to 25 psi para ma aproximate yong comfort ng everest. Sa everest naman, masyadong malambot ang ride niya and side to side ang movement ang ma fe-feel mo along the highway. Tinaasan ko naman to 38 psi ang pressure, and mas maganda and stable na ride niya even sa kurbada. magkaiba nga pala tire size nila. Pinaka ayaw ko sa dalawa is yong location ng electric motor ng power steering assist nila. Nasa pinakamababang portion ng front differential ng ranger or suspension sa everest ang location niya. Delikado sa bahaan pag lumutong na yong harness and connectors niya after a few years. Kinain ng daga yong harness na malapit sa elctric motor ng everest , kaya compromised kaagad ang steering ko. walang traction control, hill hold assist and pawis steering ang nangyari. Since walang stock ng harness ni repair lang ng Ford so di rin ako sure kung water proof pa rin yong connection after the repair , so iwas baha na ang everest. Bagong harness is 36 k and by order pa. Di sinagot ng Ford warranty and ng insurance ang damage and repair na to. Since parehong wet oil type ang timing belt ng 2.0 na to and yong ford ecosports, isang pwedeng magiging concern is yong naging problema ng ecosports. Iba yong belt ng oil pump and yong timing belt pero parehas location na nasa loob ng makina and engine oil ang bumabasa sa belt . Pwedeng ok pa yong timing belt and tumatakbo pa pero pag naunang naputol yong oil pump belt, then kakatok o mag se seize yong bearings or piston ng makina mo due to low or no oil pressure. Isa pang naging problema ng wet oil belt type ng ecosports is self clogging oil pump due to tensioner or belt wear debris na nag babara sa oil pump. Summary: The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 95 consumer complaints alleging engine failure due to loss of oil pressure in model year (MY) 2018-2021 Ford EcoSport vehicles. Some consumers report a low engine oil pressure warning lamp immediately preceding a complete loss or reduction of motive power while the vehicle is in motion. This may be due to a failed engine oil pump assembly. Engine replacement is required due to the nature of this failure. ODI has opened this Preliminary Evaluation (PE) to determine the scope and severity of the alleged engine failure and to fully assess the potential safety-related issues. To review the ODI reports cited in the Opening Resume ODI Report Identification Number document, go to NHTSA.gov

[@LuisGuillermoMoreno]

So the 10 speed automatic is most responsive than the 6 speed manual despite the everest vbeing more heavy?

[@jimjellychristoff350]

​@@LuisGuillermoMoreno He does not have the 10 speed everest. Both (ranger xl & everest trend) are 6 speed single turbo. Only the wildtrack 4x4, RR, & everest titanium 4x4 utilizes bi-turbo & 10 speed

[@consgonzaga179]

the advantage of disk and drum break is not stopping power, its endurance on prolonged usage aside from it looks better (pop culture. disk brakes have better heat dissipation capability. in fact drum break have better stopping power due to more surface contact between friction materials. 😁

[@kupaloids13]

huwat??! siryoso kba sa sinasabi mo?? kelan pa naging mas maganda ang drumbreaks sa disc? lol 😂

[@kupaloids13]

aral kapa pra may alam ka. anung not stopping power pinagsasasabi mo? lol 😂

[@gailmaplesden7380]

In the United States the trucks started going over to disc brakes in the back but what started happening is farmers and rural people were having issues with rocks jamming in the brake calipers and destroying the rotors. They changed back to drums and the problem was solved.

[@TheRdwyer]

Why didn't they go to drum breaks in the front then. Anti lockndisc brakes are far superior to any drum brake.

[@angelesdy6738]

Tama k po sir mas tumatagal yung dmax engine more reliable. Ang cons lang maingay making kami combination of timing chain and gear

[@TheBAT69]

I think this is the best buy model for those wanting to heavily modify their unit for off road overland. But as it is in stock form, it is already a beautiful classic looking pickup truck that can be kept for a long time.

[@ridewithlevi6418]

Totally agree

[@christophergeorgealonzo1921]

I will get like this soon

I like your presentation skills. straight forward, minimal choice of words, and simple. Hindi palabok. I am considering either a strada or dmax. But video ninyo po napapaisip tuloy ako consider ang ranger na ito haha

[@ridewithlevi6418]

Thank you

[@wjm7413]

With my 2019 xls 4x4 mt, offroading every month to the mountain barrios for work, river crossing, (tapos na Odette😛 pa) i can say it is reliable and tough. After almost 5 years now, with regular maintenance no issues. Except from dents and scratches due to rocks, twigs, bamboos, stones, etc. Even by just using the H4 it can tacle climbing a muddy terrain. I only used L4 twice during Odette but a little bit worry because no difflock on this model. i think the new model with difflock and a tab has more value.

[@14chstr]

Wala pa rin po ba diff lock tong 2023 model?

[@iceice5481]

ganda naman ng base model na ito, owned 2 ford car kahit isa sa kanila walang naging problem, problem ko lang ubos pera ko sa pagseestup hahaha

[@sealoftheliving4998]

😊😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@BokiTV]

Nice one sir. Kasi ung iba Toyota lang nakilala tapos reliability and parts availability agad ang pag usapan. Depende lang yan kung gaano ka mag-alaga sa sasakyan mo.

[@helsinkioslo836]

​@@BokiTVDi rin sir. World wide po recognized na reliable and established na ang toyota brand. Miski saang lupalop ka ng mundo magpunta. Even in the U.S. most of the mechanics swear by the brand toyota when it comes to reliability. Unfortunately, Hindi maaarok ng katulad mong Ford user yung ganun🤣.

[@BokiTV]

@@helsinkioslo836 Im not a Toyota hater bro, in fact option ko po ung Innova and Yaris Cross nila and nor im not a Ford fan boy. It just nagandahan lng ako sa Everest/Ranger nila ngyn. Pero when you mention reliability hindi rn lahat ng model s Toyota reliable. I have a friend 2nd facelift ng Wigo nya nsa 30k pa takbo pero nka check engine na tapos low power hanggang 60k lang takbo.

[@lnnoT6665]

Iba pa rin toyota pagdating sa reliability. Dami ngang old models na toyota sa daan. Pero pupusuan ko tong ranger sport this month inaantay ko lang lumabas officially yung triton. puro stalk na ko sa forums ng ford ranger group and even nakahanap na ko ng shop dito samin na ford specialist kuno. Ayun tama naman halos ford pinapaayos heavy pm etc. ang nakakadiscourage ng konti ung engine overhaul na post nila sa mga last gen raptors kasi walang reverse, jerky transmission etc.bago pa ung mga raptor kungt tutuusin pero baba engine na.

[@MikiSibs]

i have a t8 ranger raptor and i can say that this base model has far more better features when looking at the conveniences and majority of the stuff, even the small details like the space below the airbag on the passenger's side.

[@kumunoynimanoy5400]

After sales butas bulsa mo dito dami electronics, incase may masira mga 3 years +. So I opted for Toyota Hilux J 4x4. Nice review.

[@JasonDavide]

wala tong electronics pang karga lang talaga to na variant Yung wildtrak lang dami electronics,sensors lalo na yung handbrake madami ako nakit nag overheat kaya nag sport ranger nlnag ako till now 12k mileage bought in dec 1 walang issues

[@daleaskley9181]

Ask ko lang sa 4x4 system nya sir,. Sa 4H specifically,. Pwede po i-enggage ito on well paved roads like pag slippery,.? Parang sa 4WD System ng Mitsubishi na Super Select,. Thanks,.

[@gurkhaman]

Would it void the vehicle warranty if we decided to add an aftermarket reverse camera? or better yet, is it possible to purchase the 360 camera system from the higher variants and install it on this variant?

[@ridewithlevi6418]

As long as there is no splicing of wires, its ok,just get the power supply from the 12 V socket

[@gpaje]

Put a set of factory higher trim wheels/tires and it will no longer look like a base car. 30,000 to 40,000 pesos for a set of take-offs can make it look so much more expensive.

[@SevenSixTwo2012]

Good review, thanks. The same XL trim truck costs about 30-40% more in North America. Ford is ripping off their domestic customer base.

[@adrianrubi5012]

Pwede yung sa Raptor na stepboard jan? Mabigat po ba ang clutch pedal nya? Sagad ba sa floor ang clutch pedal para pumasok ang gear?

Levi, Please take my advice. You are reviewing a pick-up, show it's purpose, load at least 500 kgs. In that manner, you will be doing justice to its intended use, Not only its new features. Running it unloaded is not convincing enough for me to buy it. Request the showroom or owner to have it loaded

[@lodilodi8151]

not really. We own several ford ranger wildtrak 2016 model 4x2 for our company. araw araw gamit ng mga tao yung ibang unit 120k+ mileage na still in good running condition. lahat naman ng brands may lemon unit ( sirain ) As long as you do the maintenance yearly ( yung tipong hindi tinitipid and palit lahat ng kailangan palitan) eh tatakbo pa rin yan ng maayos.
