@@RS-to2eb thanks.

@@BrettWilliamson thanks mate. Yes I do live the 4H/4A mode. The ranger is pretty much a twin of the old Triton, in looks anyway, even reused the whole canopy and rims and tyres.

@@-PORK-CHOP- thanks mate. Yeah there is a lot to talk about out why the Toyota wasn’t suitable but this was not the video to go into those details, but you’re spot on about them. There is nothing majorly wrong with our Ranger, nothing that would stop me buying another one.

@@AdventuringPals I will wait to see what you have to say, as I am a current Ranger owner and would like to upgrade, I am after the V6 but they don't offer it in extra cab which is what I am after, so waiting to see what comes out, as they now offer the 4cyl with AWD option on some trim levels, but I don't want the 4Cyl after having the 5Cyl I won't go to a 4Cyl, Your's has a lot to live up to as the Triton is known as a very reliable vehicle, albeit it's a bit cheap inside and basic, but gets good reviews from owners.

@@-PORK-CHOP- ah cool. I think most of my concerns are from what I’m seeing happening to other on owners groups with engine issues. It’s a hard one as it’s probably only a minority. And I think I expected a few features to be included (parking sensors for one) that weren’t because I got a cab chassis but all very minor stuff that I should have done better research on. I just took the only car they had available at the dealer at the time so didn’t have much option anyway.

@@AdventuringPals Hey Mate, I don't get why they don't offer parking sensors on Cab models, because if you go somewhere like MRT for a canopy they will relocate everything for you, if they were fitted to the tub model, such as parking sensors, BLIS sensors, Xtraffic sensors, camera, I think they should send the ute with the sensors in a box, and it's up to you to get them attached via your canopy / tray supplier, and the installer just flicks a switch in the service mode to activate them, Especially if Ford sell it as a Cab model, I would assume Ford is sourcing the trays locally, so it's not hard to have these simple mounting positions on the tray ready to go !, I hate it when manufacturers make decisions like that, I love my parking sensors, don't care about a camera but the sensors are indispensable, how do you go with a rear vision mirror, did you fit an electronic rear mirror inside so you can see behind the canopy at all times while driving or reversing ? < I have been sussing out the Wolfbox versions.

@@positivepete4265 haha. Thanks mate much appreciated.

@@grahamwhittaker8844 thanks mate. Enjoy the event. We are still hoping to be able to make it but not certain we can.

🤙🏾

Bula brother from Vancouver bc Canada 😎

Glad to hear it’s been helpful. Thanks for making the effort to let us know. It much appreciated.

@@394824 not us sorry mate. We haven’t been there since 2021.

@@tabithascoot so glad to hear I could be helpful. Thanks for letting me know too, it does mean a lot to hear it.

@AdventuringPals well, got it on myself. Faffed about a bit, and needed some bolts from bunnings, but it's on. Just too bloody windy in Brisbane to set the awning up to try out!

@@tabithascoot well done. How good. Hope you get to enjoy your awning soon.

@@positivepete4265 I had a spare but I wanted to use the tyre repair kit as I haven’t need to use it until now. I had a couple of options to get me out of trouble. Thanks for the comments mate. It really helps me stay motivated to edit.

@@AdventuringPals keep it going man! You have a solid following and it's a good opportunity to grow

@@positivepete4265 thanks man. Really appreciate the support.

@@aron2199 thanks mate. Sorry no video on the Paj stuff. We did shoot a walk around but the audio was a fail. The max track mounts was a new product being made by someone on one of the paj Facebook pages. I can’t remember the guys name but I’ll ask my brother in law, who owns the paj. The 2 bin bags were just Kings bags that he hung on the tyre together, nothing special needed with that I’m pretty sure. I will try and get another video of the Paj but it will be hard as we are now on the road full time again.

@@AdventuringPals thanks pal

@@aron2199 👍

@@toddterrace153 thanks mate. It a rhino rack. I have a install video on that too.

@@AdventuringPals legend will check it out.

@@toddterrace153 too easy mate.

@@positivepete4265 hi mate. Total over its life (107000ks) it got around 15l/100k. It was always loaded up to at to between 2.8-3.2 tons and half it’s life towing too. When towing we averaged 15-22 depending on speed and wind. And around town it got 13-16 when loaded. In the. Highway when not towing it got down to even 10s with favourable conditions. Hope this makes sense and that it helps.

@@-PORK-CHOP- it was amazing food mate. Worth a visit. The boys love chatting to the camera. I now give them their own camera but they end up fighting over it more than talking to it lol.

@@-PORK-CHOP- yeah I think we’ve been very lucky so far as we have been on a lot rougher roads with out issues. I think it was late in the day and I did say I put 3 plugs in, maybe that’s why they thought it was too big. Thanks for the tip on how to plug it up. I’m sure the first two I put in went inside the tyre lol.

@@grahamwhittaker8844 if it works then why not hey. Conglomerate the new pup. Sounds like you’re in for a bit of fun in over the next few months.

Too easy mate. Thats great to hear about the rubbish. Every little bit helps I reckon. Thanks for taking out the time to comment. It’s very much appreciated.

@@ShaunMatthews-uw3rx thanks mate. I love hearing this. I’m so glad it’s been helpful to you and I appreciate you making the effort to let us know. Thanks.

Hi. Make to your liking. Some like more meat and some use more rice to feed more people as rice is cheaper then meat.

@@yindyamarra congrats mate. Hope you enjoy it. I’m not a big fan of hybrids either. They seem very heavy for their size. I get that’s a consequence for their ruggedness but I could do without it.

@@NasTimeAdventures thanks mate. It would suit us nicely I think.

@@positivepete4265 Hi mate. I loved the triton but unfortunately I was at the max rear axle limit with my camping setup but I wanted to tow a caravan too. There was no options to increase the limit. I would have loved to make the triton work but I just couldn’t. I’m planning a video explaining all this in more detail, just need to find the time to do it.

@@AdventuringPals hey this is a valid reason. I thought something went wrong and you lost brand loyalty. Man I'm closing in, I might be doing a triton soon!

@@AdventuringPals all the best with the ford!!!

@@positivepete4265 thanks mate. I still think the MR tritons are a great value and very capable rig.

@@-PORK-CHOP- yeah we the red sand of the outback. The hair does get a bit wild at times lol.

@@nanddayal6836 sounds like a great van. Can’t wait to adventure together with our vans.

@@lornamcmillan7911 thanks Lorna. That helps a lot. Eshlyn’s dad just got a snowy 14ft and they seem happy with it but they haven’t yet taken it out. Glad to hear you’re enjoying your snowy.

@@AdventuringPals it’s great we tow it from Vic (Cranbourne) to Hydeaway Bay (Airley Beach) every year. And go to Golden Beach Vic (Sale) tows great never had a problem and those washing machines are great Eshlyn we just swapped the tv out for an Aldi smart tv same size $200 👍just something to think about

@@lornamcmillan7911 that’s so great to hear Lorna. We have a smart tv dongle thingy which will be handy. I would have thought a smart tv would be standard now. I love the washing machine idea too. Save some coins that for sure.

@@grahamwhittaker8844 hi mate. Sorry to hear about the mother in law and the dog. That’s a big hit to take all at once. We found a 23 factory clearance van in Gympie that fits in the budget, Just. so that could work for us. I might get to see you at the legends camp out. Not for certain yet as we still working it out.

@@AdventuringPals 👍👍🤞🤞

@@grahamwhittaker8844 👍

@@lyndoncarter1528 thanks mate. Hope you’re well.

I’m pretty sure they allow dogs at the Ayer’s rock campground. Might be able to organise a pet sitter while there. I know people often take turns minding pets at these places.

@@jjexplore9678 thanks mate. Hope you guys are well.

@@felixxr6turbo thanks bro. We used a few different cameras for the different shots. I used a GoPro11 with its built in star trails, a pixel phone, an iPhone 14 and a canon m50. We love astros.

@@AdventuringPals Yeah the ones at 6:10 and 6:15, I'm guessing are the m50. So beautiful, good work.

@@grahamwhittaker8844 thanks for watching mate.

@@petermercer5968 that’s exciting mate. It can be very daunting with all the options out there, but the prices seem to be coming down again from the covid peak.

@@petermercer5968 hi mate. The standard suspension was fine with just our canopy minus the RTT. But I did the suspension change as part of the GVM upgrade and to tow our caravan.

@@NasTimeAdventures haha nah. They can use the rooftop tent when they get too big. I do t know if I want to tow a big van.

@@NasTimeAdventures none that I know of, but it’s not my van lol.

@@4x4vanintow48 hi mate. I’ve been looking but they still seem to be asking too much for second hand vans, especially for family vans. From what I’ve been seeing for a 2020ish van people are asking more than what the vans were new. There is some good value ones but it’s still more than what we have to spend on a van.

Aw man. My Triton is still going strong. I’m not an adventure guy like yourself,mostly a city dweller. I love my truck, thinking of doing some performance upgrades 😊. I really enjoy your vids and hopefully one day start enjoying the great outdoors with the family.All the best on your future adventures

@@str1506 ah fair enough. I hope you can get out there with the fam too mate.

Thanks mate. I’m waiting to do at 15ks in the new ute before I speak on how it’s going but I’m really happy with it so far.

Thanks mate. Hope you’re well.

Thanks mate. I actually traded the triton in for another ute. I wanted to take the RTT and tow a caravan too but the triton would be over on the rear axle limit. But yeah still keen to catch up on the road sometime. We will probably still be on the road next year so hit us up. Elvin.

@@AdventuringPals sounds good, what ute did you go with ?

@@yan_stewi_travels I got a v6 next gen ranger. Hopefully it can be as reliable as the triton was.

@@AdventuringPals that’s epic, if we were in the market we would go for one to, such epic specs.

@@yan_stewi_travels it is definitely a step up on the triton for power and tech but it would have to be for the extra price and being much newer.

Thanks for replying i also have a triton and understand your issues with it i have a 19.6 allterain and im on my limits as well but a new car is a big cost so im waiting a bit longer till I update my car ..the ranger looks great thanks

@@grantsaywell2132 nice mate. How’s the triton tow it. Our van got written off before we even picked up the ranger but now we’re looking at either a 15ft or 19ft StarCraft. Would love an all terrain but can afford it now lol.

Yer the triton tows well but you know its on there .we don't have a lot in the ute canopy or in tool box on the caravan just to be under weight thats the sacrifice for having a 19 6 van ..we can only have combined weight of 5885 and we are under .we bought a jayco as there light for the size

It’s a real beauty for sure. The rim walk is pretty epic too. Would do it again.

Thanks you for your kind comment.

The old girl did very well.

🙏👍

Thanks mate. Appreciated.
