i purchased a demo v6 XLT couple weeks ago and like you in car using auto was different then eye opened my eyes and seen the gear selection on the bottom of the dash screen problem solved lol still learning all the screens there is a whole array of then you can select and set! like the one you drove no body roll standard good tow performance with 2 ton boat on back very impressed so far will be adding cooler and pan in future for peace of mind.

[@luckymkhonto758]

Good afternoon guys, I'm South Africa, one of things we always worry about is crime you're car stolen. Manufacturer like MAN and John Deere are available to switch off engine from the HQ if the vehicle is reported stolen. In the early talks was that Ford will integrate the same technology, it that in fact true? Thanks

[@fullbass1426]

Nice job mate! Hopefully mits let this beast out in the bushes together with shauns sooty 2.0, grahams new patrol and ruebens chopped 300!

[@johnhannonHanno]

I have gone off the Ford as I would prefer a 2 door V6 but they are not available. No replacement for displacement.

Single turbo on the V6. The bi-turbo is on anything above the XL 2.0ltr 4 cylinder.

Single Turbo 3.0 V6 Diesel Rocket. 👌

[@Sh1tstir]

With all the electronics in this vehicle do you see an issue with water ie: deep water crossings

[@michaelmacwilliam3370]

I don’t think there’s any chance Toyota will put the v6 in the hilux, particularly given they’re investing so much in bringing the tundra here. Much more likely to see the iforce from the Tacoma in it, which will bring it very close to the fords performance with better fuel consumption and emissions.

[@karloz83]

Hopefully they left the room for a v8 supercharged version. Where’s the manual option in all these new cars? Might be a market for you soon rod taking autos out and putting manuals in leather and manual option in a dual cab I think bt50 is the only one that does it. I don’t understand why they don’t do 6speed manual versions in all the new middle to top of the range vehicles for country people who prefer manual. Even the wagons it’s so frustrating for people who don’t want autos. I know autos have come along way but some people prefer manual. If Stuck in the bush there is no roll starting option. A lot of electrics in all the new vehicles great when it’s all working properly costly when it plays up. Keep up to good work Rod and team.

[@sim8634]

manuels are dead these days in new cars no one wants them..they were selling stuff all of them so they just dropped them and made the auto better..not advantage at all to a manuel these day n new cars

Yes, Rod needs the lights.

[@mrdonny3501]

Does that Ranger have a GVM upgrade. If so what's it up to. Love the video guy's. And No Manual only Auto. How heavy is the Ranger from Mits.

[@trevorspeedy6333]

It would at least 3100 as it’s sitting there

[@waynasfamilyadventures147]

No gvm's have been approved for the ranger yet. Arb is the only company that has suspension for them at the moment.

[@craigdavies8099]

Thanks for sharing, the extra room in front of the engine could be a hangover from the long 5 cylinder? Is it constant 4x4? Saw the front driveshaft turning.

[@Sh1tstir]

I also think the extra room is a hang over from us designs and an extra 2 cylinders

[@darthvader8433]

Promised myself I'd never buy a Ford again after my xr6 ute. Hopeless sound system. Sounded good, but the AM radio reception was hopeless - only Ford could stuff that up - and the bluetooth connection worked great until you started the car... Yes Ford said it "was typical for the model", and wouldn't fix it. So I'd be interested to hear if they got it right this time.

[@amandafisher8362]

Hi Rod Your thoughts on the CV joints (weak drive line?)

[@nedyahyakcam]

its the same motor as a disco4, which ran a single VNT so probably the same

[@delanobritz8679]

Ranger really changing the game on this one. Safety, Tech on point. I think those lights will take some getting use to. The oil pan is ridiculous. Some Executive trying to save money again while the engineer said you can't do this it is going to be used Off-road ...😡😡😡😡😡😡

Does the Alloy sump increase the oil capacity and do you recommend fitting a auxiliary cooler I have just towed our 3400 kg caravan and it returned 15.65 litres 100 .

[@WholesaleAutomatics]

Adds another 3 litters and a big yes for the auxiliary oil cooler.

[@delta3eight]

Ford worked with ARB to design these to work with all their products.

[@atoms4sail]

Did Australia ever get any of these offroad beasts the US did? 1. Jeep Commanche 2. International Scout 3. Dodge Ram Charger? 4. Isuzu Vehicross

[@4bnewb969]

Only can recall the International Scout in very small numbers Cheers

[@mrfordfairmont]

good looking rig that is electronic power steering rack you don't want to break it as it very expensive... no auto transmission should have a plastic pan.. the engine stop at light is ok but the starter motors take a hiding because of it(normal cars 1 start for a trip, stop start vehicles do loads reducing the life of the starter)

[@WholesaleAutomatics]

Yes I’m a little worried about the electric steering rack and I know they are doing this as a move towards Hybrid and full electric.

[@mrfordfairmont]

@@WholesaleAutomatics would not want to go out on the tracks as it would make it very hard to steer

[@AaronMattnerR730]

No manual available in the Rangers, all autos.

[@plugg4r]

Personally waiting for the Amarok, their model variants look a lot superior to Rangers and I'm hoping the screen display graphics are improved over the Rangers. Still, a beautiful car and beautiful to drive, I feel they shoehorned themselves into the Wildtrack being the only suitable variant, hence mammoth delays on Wildtrack V6. What did you think about the auto as a whole? I was hoping you would give your thoughts on it :) Also the V6 Diesel is a single turbo, the Raptor is a V6 Twin Turbo petrol and the other motor in the Ranger range is a 4cyl 2.0 Bi-Turbo. The vents on the side panels will either say Bi-Turbo or V6 to distinguish. Model range is XL, XLS, XLT, Sport, Wildtrack and than Raptor.

[@cyclemoto8744]

You might want to consider after sales support. As an example, VW was amongst the 2 most complained-about brands in NSW... Cheers

[@mrfordfairmont]

the big issue with the amarok is there is no low range at all! only high range which for street driven and driving in the snow is good.. off road forget it

The car hadn't even moved and had chimed 75,000 times. It's what I hate most about Ford. The canopy ladder needs another rung, for normal sized people. The engine is the Lion engine originally designed for east west engine bay, which is why it's so short. That front intake is perfectly designed to take a huge gulp of water the first time you hit a puddle....

They should have kept the manual shifter style selector. Having to find a little pissy button when you want to "drive"....WRONG Ford so wrong, paddle shifters would have been a better option. I've got a LW MK 11 focus with the buttons and hate them, I much prefer the manual shift in in my PX 1 Ranger

[@WholesaleAutomatics]

Yes, I couldn’t agree more, It was the one thing that just didn't work properly. Very clumsy to use.

[@einfelder8262]

Having just driven at night using my Galaxy S7 as a navigation screen, I could not turn the brightness down far enough. The huge screen combined with the smaller one in front of the driver could make the car difficult at night. My GTI from 2008 has electric steering, no new technology there.

[@delanobritz8679]

Lifetime maintenance liability , what you talking about?

[@rossevans1774]

@@delanobritz8679 Having experienced sudden electronic control failures in multiple vehicles, I can tell you these failures usually occur without warning and have on occasions been too often more costly to rectify than mechanical failures. While all newer vehicles rely more on the cheaply produced electronic controls components, this new Ranger is bristling with sensitive electronic control paraphernalia. With the more stressful driving locations and conditions a 4X4 is expected to endure in a lifetime, the new Ranger is a potential mine field of electronic controls, functions and device failures!
