Thanks again Robert. Probably investing in ranger upgrade rather than F150 because: 1. The main market the ranger is aimed at is Right Hand Drive. 2. Most people can't afford an F150 due to Conversion costs. 3. Australian Drivers License weight limit category's don't match America. 4. In America buying a F150 and above is more realistically affordable. In my opinion the LR license weights should be covered under the car license. I would be more concerned with licensing people to tow 2 tone or over as their is more likely hood they will become unstuck due to ignorance of what creates trailer sway, extra stopping distance etc. If we could have relative American vehicle pricing and licensing, I'd prefer to see: Payload Tow Ranger 1 tone 2.5 tone F150 1.5 tone 3.5 tone F250 2 tone 4.5 tone F350 2.5 / 3 tone 5.5 tone

A ranger SD with 5th wheel or gooseneck should tow 4.5t no problems. With the tray being taken up by the trailer and room for it to swing it might prove a bit difficult to load the vehicle up to gvm. I would not be bumper pulling a big, slab-sided caravan with one, although to be honest I'm personally not a huge fan of bumper pulling any big slab-sided trailers, especially when there's cross-winds. Given the choice I'd be going with a gooseneck on a minimal tray to tow off the bitumen. Lots of articulation while keeping trailer tongue weight over the rear axle, with much better trailer maneuvering before it jackknifes. My only question would be if the wheelbase is long enough to keep the trailer from crashing into the cab during tight turns.

Can’t see it becoming a triple axle because Ford already make do with their other Super Duty’s using just two axles. All the points you make are good and I agree with. I think I made the same comment regarding NVES on your Facebook post too. The spy photos from Dearborn showed the test mule running on LT275/70R18 tyres - which are 33.2” - meaning many recreational users will jump to 35” tyres. If they are priced well, they will absolutely decimate the “full-size” conversion market. Why pay $115,000 or $150,000 for a lesser capable pickup when $85,000-$95,000 will do more? If the Ranger Super Duty enters with an XLT level spec and the demand from recreational users is there for higher spec trim variants, the ability for the factory to do the fit out will be easy to add new variants. I would also hope a longer wheelbase is forthcoming. Maybe a 30cm increase so it would still fit in a standard 6x6 garage.

- I saw this - interesting.. ??? Reinstate a decent sized diesel engine... "super duty" light truck - ie. lightweight but with a large payload. A simple way to "Superduty" the ranger is to add another axle - or merely throw in the F250 rear end (or add a 3rd axle in the existing ranger - with duallies as optional, hopefully they beef up the chassis a little, this is where GVM upgrades fail typically, they aren't really increasing the vehicle strength, merely the springs. (NB ranger chassis rails are wider (44" ~1117.6mm) in the rear than the F trucks, to allow a dually ranger with an F250 rear axle - it would need the 34" (863.6mm) F-truck chassis rails (rear) ...) Offroad 6x6 need a good load (long travel share) share between the rear axles or they get hung up / traction loss, quite easily...

Hilarious that you deleted my comment. Wrong car mate. The new Ranger Super Duty has been seen testing in Melbourne. Designed by Ford Australia and being built in Thailand. It's basically a 4 door Ranger with a longer wheel base with the Space cab tub on it. I can show you photos.

I didn't delete your comment. Sometimes YT does that. Did you swear?
@davidscott82021 күн бұрын
@L2SFBC nope. Didn't swear. Will you accept a facebook link to a post that Ford Australia put up?
@L2SFBC21 күн бұрын
I'll accept any link, whether YT will or not is another matter!

One can only hope they get rid of the timebomb V6 engine and replace it with the V8 Lion motor. Super duty ranger with a V8 diesel? Ford would kill the toyota landcruiser overnight

If I was you I’ll get rid of the electric hunk of junk as ford is even scarpering the electric trucks. As hydrogen keeps people who build gear box transmissions, Exhaust and if ford is smart and uses a icb engine that runs on hydrogen keeps not only keeps factory people in jobs but also mechanics. And older classic cars can be transferred to run hydrogen

The information is in the photos at the end. The rest is yapping, and I'm not sure why he goes on about things that aren't in that video
