New Ford Ranger v Toyota Hilux: OFF-ROAD RACE!

Thanks to 4x4at for lending us their Ranger: / 4x4at
Thanks to Timeless Overland for lending us their Hilux: / timeless_overland
Mat and Yianni have gone head-to-head in SO many drag races, but this is the first time they’re facing off in an off-road challenge!
We’ve got Mat in the new Ford Ranger, and he’s going up against Yianni in a Toyota Hilux!
So let’s see how they compare. Starting with the new Ford Ranger, it’s powered by a 2-litre twin-turbo diesel, that can produce 205hp and 500Nm of torque. It comes with a switchable AWD system as well as a locking rear differential. It weighs in at around 2,400kg, and it costs from £39,000.
Next up it’s the Hilux. This is equipped with a 2.8-litre turbo Diesel engine that can put down 204hp and 420Nm. It also comes with some off-road capabilities, including a locking rear differential. It’s lighter than the Ford, at 2,100kg, but it’s also a bit more expensive, at £44,000.
So what do you think - will Yianni win his first off-road battle? Let’s find out!

To activate Hill Descent Control on the Hilux 2022 you need to be in H4 not L4 (and HDC light not flashing). Used it today and it's pretty slow down the hills.

HDC in Ranger works even in neutral, like many others vehicles. I supose than Hilux as the same.
