    Awesome video mate.
    Everyone please go the lower spec variant. Spend your money on tyres, suspension and a lift from a local small business.
    Before you know it all the small businesses will dry up from the car makers upgrading this for you. Once this happens price gouging will happen more often, the idea is making money on upgrades which you can do elsewhere
    They already make millions share some love and support the local businesses who will help you when things go wrong.
    No car brand will honour a warranty better than your local business.

      I've got a 2019 Ford Wildtrak, fucking love it. I want to get upgraded wheels and AT tyres, and a lift kit as well as a King Brown exhaust system. I'm kind of stuck on what Wheels and lift kit to go with though especially wheels, so many to choose from and all review websites seem to list different 'best' wheels for 4x4.

    First of the Rangers with Adblue. I wonder when the rest of the Ranger model lineup get Adblue. Maybe it's time to order one of the other spec of Ranger before Adblue becomes a standard feature.

      Adblue has been going fine in the Heavy truck and bus industry for over a decade now, it's not that bad at all 👍🏻

    • @farmlyf
      @farmlyf Před rokem +3

      Adblue on its own doesn't reduce performance. Indeed I'd much prefer SCR (adblue) - especially where its implementation has allowed the removal of EGR over DPF any day. The problem is that the ever stricter emissions standards require all three solutions - EGR, DPF and SCR to be compliant.

    Upon careful examination, I'm having trouble discerning the $10,000 disparity between this utility and the Wildtrak standard fit-out. It might be more prudent to opt for the lower specification model and then allocate those saved funds towards customizing it precisely to your preferences.
    By doing so, you can ensure that every modification aligns perfectly with your requirements, creating a tailored vehicle that meets your specific needs without incurring unnecessary expenses for features that may not hold the same value for you.
    This approach allows for a more personalized and cost-effective investment in the long run, providing you with a vehicle that is not only tailored to your exact specifications but also mindful of your budget. This way, you get the best of both worlds: a vehicle that meets your needs and preferences, without overspending on features that may not necessarily enhance your driving experience.
