Tougher Ford Ranger & Everest, BMW recall & Suzuki Jimny XL | The CarExpert Podcast

[@CarExpertAus]

Quick update on the Ranger and Everest Tremor - we mentioned in the podcast that they were limited editions. Ford have informed us the Everest is "a permanent addition to the lineup". Ranger is a limited run though. Should Ford keep offering the Ranger Tremor but with a V6?

My Dad bought a Suzuki 4WD (second hand) in about 1980. Over the years, 5 out of 7 kids in our family ended up driving it, one crashed and rolled it, and it is now retired to a country property, with holes in the floor and a weed-spraying tank set up in the back. 44 years later, still going, still towing. Amazing car. Being a value-for-money kinda guy, we all joked that the Suzuki was Dad's favourite child.

I liked the look of the Ranger Tremor with the ready-to-go 4x4ing, but not offering it in the V6 is a bit of a deal breaker for me

THANK YOU FOR NOTICING OUR JIMNY 🫶🏼 30:05

[@CarExpertAus]

It's too cool not to notice! Great job with it, we are fans.

[@ginosev]

Nice one bro!!!

[@sizwe1131]

We appreciate the work you guys are doing , love from South Africa.

[@navinda88]

I just watched a video on "SUV sizes compared" on their channel and was surprised by the different heights these guys have (its hard to see on the podcast as they are all sitting down). BTW Sean looks like the love child between Scott and James 😆 Great pod!

[@chucklenuts7054]

Ford Ranger Tremor has been on sale in South Africa for a while now.

[@LarryNgetich]

I think the HKS supercharger kits solve the torque issue on the Jimny, though I don't know what that means for its reliability

[@alans1313]

hey guys,,,do you have any info on the small land cruiser or mini landcruiser thats supposed to get here early next year ??? i would rather but a toyotan than a jimny...have you heard anything at all???

[@Marks.Reviews]

Hi CarExpert, do you think or know if Toyota will do a surprise public showing won’t say unveiling because it’s already been unveiled to the world and here on the Toyota Australia website, the Prado at the next upcoming 4x4 shows, which there are several next month?

[@curtis4925]

You said the new ranger tremor is the 4 cyl bi turbo only but Paul said it’s 6 cyl turbo diesel so which one is it??

[@CarExpertAus]

Ranger is 4 cylinder bi-turbo, Everest is V6 Diesel, which is what Paul said too.

[@curtis4925]

@@CarExpertAus right thank you. Can’t believe they wouldn’t put the v6 in it 😢

[@brokenhill58]

Sounds like GM is potentially using Aus as dumping ground for hard to sell EV's in US?

[@Gdsamplify]

Maybe. Though most GM EV products would be LHD, gotta be too much cost to make em RHD just to dump here

[@javic1979]

@@Gdsamplify they've already made a loss, if they can sell a few here thats less bespoke parts needing to be scrapped. its not hard to convert from LHD and Australia has a few very good converting company's that often produce finished cars that are better than the original

[@saviom8166]

22:22 When you say you are working so much harder, why do people make it out as if you, the driver is working. The engine is working, not you, and it is doing what it is designed to do-run at high revs. Why do people get so shocked with high revs? So what? Why does the engine revving equate with physical labour for the driver? The driver has to just move a steering wheel, and push a couple of pedals. We have the manual as well as the auto. Both are fine.

[@-PORK-CHOP-]

Ford has lost the plot, why would you put the V6 in the Everest and not the Ranger

[@orangejuicepony6881]

No one wants a 4cyl Ranger, that is why

[@SH4HS]

When do we see Genesis GV80 review?????

[@simmpessor5541]

I still can't understand why countries like Australia, South Africa, etc STILL INSIST ON THE LHD BECAUSE this MARKET IS SOO000 SMALL AND NOT WORTH THE CONVERSION.

[@NickHey]

Another week another ranger

[@Mexxx65]

Jimny looks the goods doesn't it!!!!

[@-PORK-CHOP-]

If Nissan are rebadging the Triton, it will be the most reliable Navara ever made.

Sounds like ChatGPT wrote the code for the software 😅

[@cyclemoto8744]

Caddilac should be treated with contempt in Australia after GM's actions with Holden. Anyone who rewards this mob with their custom need to have a serious look at themselves

[@whomcares3438]

You have to question the viability of any turbo diesel these days….they’re all a bit shit.

[@LCBBuilders]

Based on what?..... your opinion over literally millions of happy owners around the world? Yeah sure.

[@megamoto3513]

@@LCBBuildersmodern diesels aren’t the same

[@whomcares3438]

@@LCBBuilders yeap it’s my opinion. Mind you, it’s only ‘third world’ countries like Australia that hang onto diesels. High pressure fuel systems, DPFs, adblue and all the add on exhaust gas management systems to clean up emissions really impact their function, cost of running and longevity. Most manufacturers are moving away from diesel in passenger car capacity for a reason. Watch hybrids take over the Ute market in the next 5 years.
