Has the Ford Ranger 4x4 XLT changed me?

You might already know I am not exactly a big bakkie fan, but the new Ford Ranger may have just changed my opinion on bakkies in general. Or has it? You will have to watch this video to find out.

Haven’t watched one of your reviews for ages - great to see one again :)

[@honestjoe632]

An XLT with a V6 will be the ultimate leisure utility vehicle LUV…

[@shauntheron717]

I love this review of the Ranger XLT, had such a laugh!! Juliete is freaking funny! 😂 Anyway i bought the XLT with upgrade pack 4 and so far i am really impressed with my bakkie! I wanted to buy a Hilux and my wife the Ranger, so for two weeks before we bought our bakkie, we had daily arguments about which bakkie is better etc, etc, etc...My word, i am so happy i listened to her for a change!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@julietmcguire]

Amazing!!!! I am a little jealous, I won't lie ha ha

[@craigdarocha7619]

How has it been since the purchase? I am in the same boat! Making the purchase in July

[@Iam_chriscardo]

I love the Raptor. I want one.

[@lro6505]

There are so many cars I need a review on … new Mahindra XUV700, Chery Omoda, electric mini, Peugeot Landtrek, Opel Mokka, and more…

[@R1Zig]

Not much of a "bakkie-man" myself, but I'm with you on the Amarok which is now also mostly Ford. I've owned one Ford in my life and it was the Escort XR-3i. I was 22 and loved it back then. It was a fun car. Don't get me wrong. Ford build great vehicles, but I haven't been a fan for a long time. I think the Raptor is awesome, and I used to like the Volvo-engined T5. I'd choose the ISUZU or Triton if I was forced to pick a bakkie.

[@angrysocialjusticewarrior]

What changed to make you dislike Ford? The message between the lines in your comment suggest that you will actively avoid Fords if given the option. Why is that?

[@kyyyy21]

The exhaust pipes on the models look like afterthoughts , other than that I think it’s really nice bakkies

[@belindagantz5129]

Please review Beijing!

[@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298]

"Ford really listened to their customers with this new generation Ranger. They did five thousand interviews" 😂😂😂. Even if it's just South Africa surely they have over 5000 customers.

[@rorisangtsoeu2501]

You should have done the horn/hooter test with the hilux😂😂

[@capetowncoffee]

As a back seat passenger in the last model was hella uncomfortable. Felt like your kidneys where being poked with every bump in the road. Hope it's changed in this version

[@mazambane286]

Clearly you've never been in a hilux! Where even the driver feels what you've just described

[@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298]

​@@mazambane286 yes, I feel this person probably doesn't know bakkies at all. The older ones of yesteryear could leave you organs on the floor. Navarra is the most comfortable. Ranger is streets ahead of Hilux.

[@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298]

Let's not forget she's in Capetown - known for really good roads. So wouldn't take her word for it.

[@mazambane286]

@@sithabelamandlawenkosiwodu6298 The Navara is the only bakkie with coils on the rear. It may be very comfortable but you can't load it. Hilux is by far the most uncomfortable. It's suspension comes straight off my great grandfathers ox wagon.

[@etienne6641]

I think it came in 3rd in March due to stock limitations.

[@wesleymasha9456]

And then came first this month

[@wilhelmbarkhuizen]

So youre not allowed to be on you phone while driving but it's okay to have a huge ass screen to have to perform functions

[@andrefortuin4554]

The door handles is good and all, until you drop a few cracked Dotritos in there😂 This Generation Rangers is by far the best looking Bakkies in SA at the moment, in my opinion.

[@daksol021]

4:33 you and me both 🤬, the XLT is nice 👌

[@fergusabroad]

i only watch these car vids as i love your comments 😍... but gotta say as having seen these models in Dubai and Bangkok ford are ripping off the SA consumer.. who would have thought it !!!!.... ps dubai prices are about 40% lower than here and a higher spec and i think made in BKK

[@darrellmaartens6425]

you say they did alot of research but you cant fit a canopy without having to fit braces? is that not going backwards.. having to disassemble part of a new car to fit an accesory that many bakkie drivers do is a bit “kek”

[@mannycruz216]

As an American who’s excited about the 2024 Ranger coming to the US, and not enough videos out yet, I’m watching these videos to have an idea who the new Ranger is going to be like lol Forgive my arrogance but what is a “bakkie”?

[@malwandlaneyo2696]

In our country we use the word bakkie for what you usually call a pickup truck and in Australia it's called an UTE

[@sindileheadmanmali4503]

One the best bakkies in south africa, and sales wise doing well past month beat hilux, I prefers wildtrack compare to rapper,

[@pornokid333]

If there's one thing I can't stand in bakkies (and cars) its dark black hoodlining. It makes the vehicle feel like a cave at night. I love thus Rangers interior color vibe. Small things can sometimes change your whole mood...

[@pholelamapeyi4589]

She is by far ..the funniest car reviewer in the country....ahhaha😅😅😅....

[@mzwandilejanuary4222]

KIKIKI, Juliet, is there a review of yourself where you do not floek at other road users?

[@tshegofatsokgoroba6753]

The vertical infotainment is far from ideal, I'd go as far as to call it idiotic.

[@fransmarais3754]

Every time you do something on the tv screen, you take your eyes off the road. So frikken unsafe, and nobody ever mentions this😮😮😮

[@julietmcguire]

I mention it ALL the time.

[@y8Xyp]

you just floored an xlt 😂😂😂 4:28

[@jbryan6400]

I have a Wildtrak in the UK. Owned it since new. Now on 70k and the transmission has failed. Not impressed!!

[@seanfenwick]

I had the previous gen and had the same issue of failed transmission

[@pholelamapeyi4589]

My stomach hurts ...laughing hard .... 😅😅😅

[@rodneyemmerich8828]

A double cab with comfortable rear seating doesn't exist in South Africa

[@julietmcguire]

True dat!

[@bassaniobee]

Road rage is a real problem in South Africa Juliet. Please stop the negativity during your reviews. Please make use of quieter roads so that we can enjoy the reviews with you...

[@St-G2]

Really dude, she is reviewing a bakkie😂

Too much swearing and blaspheme, not necessary

[@cchris5958]

Its ugly as heck but its so practical its hard to beat.

[@phanuelbaloyi8458]

Hi Juliet Can you do away with your road rage. I enjoy your reviews but get turned off by vulgar and rage.

[@user-fq1hf4bn1g]

Then dont watch it

[@phanuelbaloyi8458]

@@user-fq1hf4bn1g My comment was constructive. To be honest, once the road rage and vulgar starts, I stop watching.
