I Took A BIG RISK On This 'Custom' Ford Ranger From G3 Car Auctions UK

[@markjones1647]

Make sure the wet belt is changed ASAP. I've got a mate with one that has a full Ford history and engine is destroyed at 60k miles. He's now fighting with them!!

[@scorchio70]

Is he really gonna get anywhere near 19k for this?

[@dougle03]

Don't think that £300 replacement windscreen will be the right one. The Wildtrak's have electric heated windscreens that are nearly £1k for a replacement. Putting the non-heated version on will be a detriment to the new owner... Those two keys in the glove box are for the spare wheel lock. Beware, the lock is exposed to road grim etc... and regularly seizes up. Worth checking before selling it. Load capacity is 1 ton, has to be to be Tax friendly to companies. Seeker made quite a few of this model, so not that rare, but certainly quite expensive when new - circa £5k above normal list for the added bolt-ons... Least they didn't put the wheelie bin plastic lid on the bonnet... lol

[@STEVIEBHOY]

Dave and Stevie from the D & J Projects KZbin channel bought two brand new ones at the beginning of the year 👍💯

[@mrmasterplaster999]

cant wait to see you polish those scratches out of the arch

[@CarlosFandango1975]

You want interesting stock that’s not for everyone but sets you apart to the right buyer and that’s spot on. Not your average i10

[@PaulCunningham-sf5pu]

Joe good on you for changing to more executive vehicles but it may mean that you may loose some of your regular customers

[@chrisjackson376]

New go to channel I've been watching for a few months now, love it, plus adding Castleford to your auction locations go Yorkshire.

[@henrykravitz468]

That is a really nice bit of kit. I hope it sells quickly for you. Great video and content. Have a great week Joe and team.

[@ModernHeroes]

Honestly think you couldn’t be more spot on with this (and the Transit from the previous video) alongside the stock profile you’re developing with the Range Rovers etc. One of these for work and the RR for personal use, selling two cars to everyone that comes in the door. 👌

[@paddy6859]

Wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole, 2.0 diesel, loads of engines failures with Rangers every mechanic that’s worked on them will tell they are a disaster, nothing but trouble Only buy the 3.2, newer 2.0 ones are twin turbo wet belt

[@markjones1647]

Exactly that, they are a nightmare!!

[@jonjon738]

Thanks for that, really helpful.

[@joehaynes7587]

Make sure you get the wet belt checked on this 2.0 engine - they have a habit of breaking up well before they are due to be changed and take the engine with them.

[@timbo19751975]

At 83k unless there's proof of a wet belt change, it is overdue and close to failure.

[@macsmith6216]

They don’t break tiny bits come of the belt and leads to oil starvation, and end of the engine

[@Luckyjo21]

my 2022 MS-RT transit it fucked my whole engine up at 58k miles.

[@brianjoseph3818]

Nice looking pickup Joe . Like your honesty about your cars .

[@OleGitRule]

Love the ranger - that looks great

[@kadiocalc]

No lift on that but still cool looking. I've gathered the Mazda BT50 3.2 equivalent in Brisbane with plenty of mods Inc a 2" 500kg rated lift. Crossed The Simpson Desert with aplomb. Keep up your great work. Cheers Bing.

[@andywalters7300]

Every vehicle from seeker is different the only 2 that’s the same is Dave and Stevie’s from D&J Projects (on KZbin) that won’t hang around it’s a lovely motor. Pretty sure in the rear load area underneath the roll lid there’s a 12v charging cigar lighter socket

[@cblack1green]

Add blue and DPF filter, a combination you can do without.

[@Symze67]

I leased a Deranged version through my business for a few years. Really tax efficient and a super fun car to drive

[@terrywilkins5266]

I think D & J projects bought two from this company, they absolutely love them.

[@robthomas7232]

Arr heard you say 2009 then kept thinking that looks a bit newer! The old she wee joke is a standard amongst ford owners. The reason for it is the miss fueling system which stops you putting in the wrong type. I wonder how much that has saved people over the years!

[@davewhittles]

its looks good i would like one of them if i had the funds

[@blackdogchris]

Good buy im sure that won't hang around..bought at a good price. ❤

[@harriercraig]

It's a lovely ranger ❤

[@garywillcox4976]

Joe, i have a 3.2 ranger in Australia. Not that comfy on road very capable off road. The downside of the 3.2 diesel is fuel consumption averages 20-21mpg equivalent on a long run

[@leedee1977]

Joe loved saying “modular wheels”…😂

[@scorcha100]

Tag. It makes a nice change to the standard ranger

[@adamsuter1968]

Well done Joe keep up the good work

[@billdornan4379]

Neighbour on the Sunshine Coast,BC paid $42,000.- for a similarly equipped 2019 Ranger Tremor in silver. Sounds like you scored this one. Don’t sell it off too cheap. Kindest regards 🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@enthusiastsofbritishmotors]

Another very well-made video Joe, although its not my kind of car - just a taste thing (plus I'm old!)😎

[@Dave-zz9fk]

Not sure about the UK, but in Aus, the 2.0 litre is a twin turbo with more power and torque than the bigger and older 3.2.

[@bigeein]

Ive had a Transit custom for 2 years, now i know what the she wee is for

[@muddertruker]

Lovely ute (pick-up :) ) mate!! Quick question, is Toby really short? The camera seems to be pointed up your nose all the time!! LOL

[@rossluke901]

Has being my dream car for very long time.

[@lesklower7281]

The Ford Ranger biggest selling vehicle in Australia at the moment and these 4X4 utes are very popular and there is about 9 different makes of utes sold in Australia so there is a lot of competition and these Ford Randers aren't known for there reliability there troublesome ten speed transmission there engine issues but they outsell every other ute and l did see an extremely rare Ford Ranger ute it was a single cab hardbody rear wheel drive ute only seen one but the duel cab 4X4 very common in all trim specifications

[@toms4097]

I had a few 3.2 wildtracks & they do pull quite nicely, I imagine the 2.0l must be a bit underpowered, also I find they drive nicely almost car like. Be nice if you could start getting lower mileage versions of the same cars you’ve been buying.

[@G4RY1159]

Interesting, an old boss had a white one, big lump of car. Thanks again.

[@michaelnaughton1393]

[@bigbob7062]

Tag. Hope you do well with the Ranger. ,,👍

[@DerekHNorthants]

Tag. What a beast!

[@julianlord2697]

2.0 bi turbo diesel is far above a 3.2. the 3.2 is a dog in comparison and has a reputation for sudden failure. I have had Rangers and the Everest SUV version. 2019 Wildtrak is a traditional pickup with chassis and leaf springs but has plenty of ricks, its wading depth is 80cm so it is up there with some serious of road gear

[@chrisgray305]

the amount of comments saying tag here instead of on the community post 🤦‍♂

[@Kingdonnerkebab]

Looks like something Stallone or Mel Gibson would drive in a film. Seems well priced to me too. Alot of cool for that kinda cash. Not my thing but definitely appealing to alot of folk.

[@ianfleming4356]

My other car is a Mk1 Berlingo Multipace, 0.6 Tonne load capacity, 5 seats and loads of storage, not sexy at all, no electronic gizmos at all, and 1.6l , 8 valve petrol engine, from 2006, more practical than the ranger

[@andytetlow3600]

I’ve just paid £770 for a tow bar for my transit custom Joe from a tow bar company big bucks can’t imagine what Ford would charge

[@Japowuk]

Seeker and Deranged are eye-wateringly expensive from the custom shop.

I have absolutely no use for a pickup but I very much want one 😂

Saw you yesterday leaving your forecourt in a Range Rover I’m down in brean on holiday till Friday

[@GeekOfShaves]

Given the perks on these as having no Benefit In Kind tax burden from new I recon quite a few pickups with crew cabs hit the market at this age. Also i think the HMRC allow 100% relief agains corporation tax qhich encourages the purchase of new ones, does that not affect the second hand market value?

[@Cous1nJack]

I have a crew cab. I can’t see the appeal in a murdered out, rubber band wheeled, sikaflexed grp bonnet vent, max power thing. Clearly don’t see the money back at resale.

[@willrushton292]

[@adriancollie1322]

Tag. Love those Ford Rangers. Hows the container fit out going? Are you going to do a "making of" video on it?

[@darrenedwards7550]

He's already done the making of it video

[@adriancollie3329]

@@darrenedwards7550 yeah I saw it like 5 minutes after I posted this. Typical eh? Surprised he did it all himself. Clearly skilled at more than just selling cars, and a really great finish (although I'd strongly suggest a bit of fresh air ventilation wouldnt go amiss at some point)

[@michaelwheeler4854]

Have a standard Ranger. One thing not everyone is aware of is due to weight speed limit is 50mph on single carriageway and 60mph on dual carriageways,

[@ModernHeroes]

Does the Ranger not sneak under the weight limit for this? My Maxus T90EV definitely doesn’t, but I thought most diesel pickups did?

[@paddy6859]

@@ModernHeroes Think the Isuzu is the only pick up under the weight limit so 50 mph doesn’t apply

[@ModernHeroes]

@@paddy6859 ahhh fair enough!

[@Hilux-jt6bo]

May well be true, I was told though by my accountant that because a ranger doesn't carry quite a ton, the tax advantage is not as good if you are self employed.

[@andytetlow3600]

We all know Joe that if you get a good Ranger you get a good one if you get a bad one 😩😩😩 you get a bad one mate

[@dylanlander2715]

tag great vid as always

[@purplehays5296]

Presume they are the same in the UK as here in Australia. 2 litre is better than the 3.2. More powerful, more economical, smoother. And 10 speed gearbox. 3.2 V5 is far more agricultural. The Ranger is the number 1 selling vehicle in Australia. Don't let an Aussie here you calling it a 'truck', made this mistake when I bought one. It's a Ute 🤣

[@liamegan4303]

Hi Joe. Jesus this isn't an expensive Jeep. I thought it would be at least £30k lol. It looks like a Cool piece of Kit, a very nice Machine. If Sophie gets her hands on it, you will never see it again, lol, Joke 😃 😀. Nice Dashboard, it has all the Bells and Whistles. Great video again, Joe. Keep it up. 🇮🇪 🙏🙏💯👏👏👏👏👏👏

I always thought the Rangers look awesome and fancied one……then I drove one lol. Terrible drive absolutely awfull. With those tyres on it sounds like you have 4 wheel bearings on the way out all the time any speed above 15mph. But it will still sell easily as they have a following.
