In-depth POV review - 2023 Ford Ranger XLT 2.0L Bi-Turbo - The Perfect Mix?

[@maxlodewyk_na]

The XLT as correctly said is a balance between style and substance. It’s essentially all you need in a bakkie and with the option packs, you can make it look stylish. I test drove one recently and really enjoyed it, it’s just a pity they’ve become pricey.

[@sebuwam]

What a balance this is, especially with this 2.0L Bi-Turbo, I expect to see more of these on the road. Eish the economy is currently against people with prices ey! Hope you doing great there on the other side 🙂

Job well done once again Sebuwa! Watching your reviews is really enjoyable. Keep it going brother!

[@sebuwam]

I so appreciate this Xoli, means a lot to hear people who see your progress give you feedback🙏🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙂

[@cdubz6807]

The noise in the back can be the tow hitch nut not being tightened underneath the tow tongue. Heard it on a test drive yesterday. Drove the Tremor...good heavens what a vehicle. Bi-turbo is boss.

[@helcan18]

Getting close on buying this version in Guatemala, thanks for the great review!!

Great review my brother, u have a new subscriber.

Can you please review the Toyota Hilux legend on en offroad

[@LSGTVSA]

Bosso Thank you for simplifying the different types of the new Rangers. XLT is the one 🎉. Where's this gravel road you tested this bakkie?

[@sebuwam]

Thank you so much LSG. I do think it offers great value as well. The road is between Cullinan and Brokhorstspruit🙏🏽

[@demtumza]

well, I love how you emphasize on the importance of looking at the nice to haves vs must haves...If you spec the XLT right there's no need to go for the higher up models who will only add the nice to haves. Well I enjoyed the camera work and nice gravel POV as well...Thanks a lot sir and keep up the good work. 🙏🙏🙏

[@sebuwam]

Bakkies have surely shifted from what they used to do to what people are using them for these days. This honestly is the right mix for work and home. I always appreciate your presence Demtumza, thanks a lot for the positive and encouraging feedback🙂🫶🏾

[@manyuhahulisani2091]

@sebuwam I remember we always preferred small cars and SUVs because of ride comfort but now bakkies have become our daily giants on the roads because of versatility they offer which is being a family and items carrier and an off-road vehicle when you need to test out the 4x4 settings🔥💯

[@lut1tha2mas]

Bought this car in frozen white i love this bakkie

[@lesediseemela9856]

Not really a fan of Ford or bakkies but this XLT model (especially with those wheels) is a fantastic looking product. The fact that VW is involved in the making of the engine does give me a bit of confidence. I'd buy for sure if I could afford it. 👍🏿

[@sebuwam]

This XLT is honestly all one needs in a bakkie just that we buy them for lifestyle purposes these days hence Raptor is selling so much as it can't do as much as this can as a workhorse. Last I checked Ford developed all the engines on the ones we have here in SA?🤔

[@lesediseemela9856]

@@sebuwam By saying VW is involved i meant that they use these Ford engines in the Amarok. That gives me confidence in the blue brand. It's a fantastic product Buti Mpho. 🤞🏾

[@sebuwam]

@@lesediseemela9856 I hear you. Which tells us that they did some research prior to this agreement. They probably bought a lot of Rangers for testing in the past few years😅😅😅

[@immanuelkauluma5642]

Is there a noticeable MAJOR difference between the BiT & SiT in terms off performance? Great review btw

[@sebuwam]

Yes, yes and yes. SiT is just too heavy, even when you overtake you need to think about what might come head on but with BiT you hardly worry especially when already on the move. The 10-speed is perfect to the BiT but keeps changing down to fetch some power on lower gears on SiT

[@cdubz6807]

Drove both bit and sit yesterday. Definite difference. The SiT is perfect for daily use and light adventure....not with heavy load imo...the SiT hunts for gears and power similimar to the older 2.2 AT. The BiT is a beast...yasss it pulls all the way and feels much more nippy and responsive. Will be my choice for a daily + adventure and touring

[@thamiskosana4200]

On auto trader I saw some wildtraks for under 800k, I would go for one of those even though it is not a 4X4. Another great video by the way.

[@sebuwam]

Eish but once you get on gravel you realise the importance of 4x4 ey, 4x2 leaves the tail asking for grip mostly, it's okay if you don't like taking chances but 4x4 brings confidence. Looking at the fact that many people don't drive on gravel I would agree with you there.👌🏾

[@manyuhahulisani2091]

@sebuwam The 4x2 scares me i won't lie ...... at home we still have the 3.2 XLT, i tell you that car can effortlessly kick its tail out gravel or wet road if you're to heavy on the throttle. The reason i saw 4x2s are mostly bought its because they cost a bit less than the 4x4 variant

[@sebuwam]

@@manyuhahulisani2091 Yep, mostly people just know that they won't really need the extra grip but for slippery roads, you can feel that the thing has a happy tail. Literally fights for grip, in the wet? Yoh, even I don't take chances there

@@sebuwam I won't even try it ever again🤣🤣🤣, its frightening 🤣

[@mlond]

Very nice review 👌 may we get the 3.0 v6 wildtrack on the channel 🙏

[@sebuwam]

Thank you so much, I will talk to Ford about those and see what I can do from there🙂🙏

[@geoffreyjoseph514]

what kind of bed cover could i get for this one with those bars in place?

[@sebuwam]

You will have to get the tonneau cover designed to the sports bar specifications. Otherwise, remove the sports bar and get the roller shutter

[@geoffreyjoseph514]

@@sebuwam nah that sports bar looks too cool to remove

[@namz98]

Would you buy the 4x2 or 4x4

Are those 18" inch wheel?

Yes sir. 255/65/R18

[@sebuwam]

Such a looker and a performer. 👌🏾👌🏾

[@manyuhahulisani2091]

Ford all the way🔥🔥🔥..... I feel like this one is sort of like a scaled down wildtrak, it still looks rugged than the normal XLT💯🔥. If you were to see how menacing they look in your rear view mirror they make it impossible to look away from them, these 4x4s look very beautiful, I'm sure that it handles far much better than the previous gen because the shocks are moved outside the chassis rail rather than built inside👌

[@sebuwam]

These things are intimidating from the rear view mirror ey😅😅😅. I honestly felt like this is just the exact same as the previous gen Wildtrak in many ways including handling. Maybe in far greater challenges it can show material improvements but so far they felt quite similar. Otherwise, this is good looking and still drives so well👌🏾💯🙂

[@manyuhahulisani2091]

@sebuwam I do want to test drive one hey😅😅😅..... I've seen a few Raptors, few wildtraks and alot of XLTs on the road. I'll never forget that menacing front end🤣🤣🤣🔥

[@sebuwam]

@@manyuhahulisani2091 You should go test drive one, I love Ford(s) for their driveability, they nail it everytime.👌🏾

[@manyuhahulisani2091]

@sebuwam I still can't believe they don't make the 3.2L engine anymore, that engine still has power to match up the other competitors as much as it does make the car feel nose-heavy but that was a beefy engine🫢🔥
