FORD RANGER OFF-ROAD 4X4 TRACTION CONTROL TEST : HILL CLIMBING ROLLING ROCK HILL!!!
Vložit

- Testing out the traction control on the Ford Ranger with some loose rock uphill climbs. This 4x4 truck did not come equipped with a rear locker and we did not air down instead deciding to test the truck as it is driven on the street. The driver used caution because of a lack of rock rails on the truck.

Good thing I checked the comments. I was gonna start critiquing, but since you intentionally over inflated the tires, picked horrible lines and had no throttle discipline, certainly makes sense.
you wouldn't understand, its a Jersey thing -South Park
🤣🤣🤣
why is everyone on this channel running full tire pressure lol
We need some of these videos on your channel 🤘
Trying to make the hill climbs as hard as possible without damaging the vehicle.
@@4x4OffRoadChannel its a Ford the truck will be fine
@@4x4OffRoadChannel what a load of bs. Not airing down to make the test difficult would be like not using 4x4 “to make it difficult”. If your testing vehicles do it properly, use all the tools available including air in down.
@@brettfriesen8973 partially true but it’s not as fun to use all your tools. A lot of the trails I had access to for my old truck weren’t very hard got a 4x4 truck but for a 2wd it was damn near impossible. I’d leave it in 2wd as long as I could to have more fun and get a stuck I as I could before using 4x4
Omg this was painful to watch! No off road experience. Not aired down and every time he gets momentum he stops!!!
Very painful
Ouch
Lift & tires give a nice stance. This is a great advertisement for the the FX4 package; skid plate, locking diff combined w/ terrain mode Mgmt system would manage those hills & rocks. Probably cheaper than the upgrades but I like this trucks look better, stands out of the crowd
Agreed 100% do it once do it right.
The extra $400-$500 for the rear locker doesn't seem so bad now
Right!?!
One medium sized rock and it’s stuck, definitely worth it
The terrain is not bad, is definently the drives
In South Africa even the low spec comes with a rear locker as standard. Even on the 4x2 version. I thought it was standard everywhere
$420 option. I'm getting it with mine.
Great truck. I air my tires down to 15 to 17 psi when I get off road with it. It helps alot
I like it how he keeps stopping like keep on going bro
I see the problem New Jersey tags
Lol yup
I agree enjoy watching the ranger going through some off road tests thanks for the videos
Great looking truck, by the way !
Do you know if the crash bars were cut for tire clearance?
It's easy to be an expert at my computer at home, but aside from the obvious help a locker or lockers would have given, I think bro's biggest issue was speed. The description says they were being careful because of the bare rocker panels, but he kept stopping for no apparent reason.
If loose rocks are anything like mud, you've got to have momentum and wheel speed.
Other than that, that's a nice-looking truck. I like the stance and width of it. I have a stock FX4 in the same blue color.
Cool video! Love watching the ranger off roading
I'm Tacoma 4×4 owner, but all truck lover, this is a great video on that Ranger...
God please send more people like this showing trucks in action and not there face talking shit on camera 🤭
Thank you for the awesome feedback.
Cool!.. 4x4xfar! 👍🇳🇿
This guy was definitely trolling us lmao
Man that ranger looks bad ass !!!
Hopefully yu keep making more video’s 🤙
It is my dad got it😍😍
Sometimes traction control works better than rear locker. Because not only it brakes rear spinning wheel, but also front spinning wheel to help you gain traction.
Thanks for info
If it had better BLD type tech , yeah I would agree that BLD is great. Traction control is a throttle nanny. It's not the braking technology I think you're talking about. with traction control off, for example , on a Jeep ... the braking technology will still do it's thing but the "throttle nanny" aka traction control goes bye bye.
For a long time I didn't realize it before I started really digging deep but all those things are distinct systems. They might use the same hardware (brakes and throttle) but it's different software.
1. ABS
2. Traction Control
3. Stability Control
4. Brake Locking Differential (every manufacturer has a form of it basically but they all call it something else. Toyota calls it ATRAC for example).
These are all independent systems.
Disabling traction control doesn't disable stability control (but with some cars if you press the button longer you can disable that too). Disabling Traction control also doesn't disable BLD or the analogous.
Anyway it's all different stuff.
@@off-roadingexplained8417 the BEST off roader is with rear AND front lockers with front AND real solid axles with good articulation with disconnecting sway bar.
@@7150285 and BLD tech... Because if you don't need lockers and you use it... And you break an axle... And BLD could have done it... You've lost... If that weren't true , Jeep would not have bothered adding BLD to the Rubicon. What's the point?
And also , solid axle isn't always better. It depends on what you're doing.
Solid axle is ONLY better if that much flex is required. If it's not , then 4 wheel independent suspension is actually better.
For the case that a 4 wheel inspection suspension vehicle has more flex than solid axle (rare but not impossible), 4 wheel independent suspension wins.
@@off-roadingexplained8417 sorry but BLD can never EVER replaced a true hardcore road crawler WITH solid rear and front axles with front and rear lockers...
Nice setup perfect lift
Lol.. air down and a locker! Beautiful rig though.
I think airing down wil be his only option 😅
I own a 2021 tremor 😎
Impressive with out lockers and over inflated tires.
The caption said test, not easiest or the best , simply test ! The truck and the driver both preformed
Very well . Maybe next time they will say make it look easy !
What size wheel/tire and offset is this?
Picking mines up tomorrow 😬🙌🏽
How do you like your Ford Ranger?
Hope you got fx4 lol 😂
@@reaj2010 xlt fx4. 4 door in ruby red
Hello, 1st for off road ensure You have minimum load in the cargo bed ! otherwise the rear wheels not ensure the traction after 2nd reduce the tires pressure 2 bars in theory is efficient ! the differential lock is the last solution for a good driver !
Need that fx4 rear locker. And them tires very tight inflated . Need some air down.
It's not the truck, it's the driver...
The truck also. He has open diff. Needs fx4 or optional locker
Still deciding on either a Ranger or Tacoma...feedback anyone?
I normally pick a vehicle based on how I want to build it for off-roading, High quality aftermarket parts are important to me. Ex. Rock Rails and suspension choices. I got into off-roading with a Toyota Tundra and built it. Recently got a Ram Power Wagon so I have the option of an AEV setup and White Knuckle Rock Rails.
How you like this 2.3 l turbo ? Looking to buy one .
I love mine.
The engine is the trucks strong point.
I was wondering what you might have in mind for the rock rails and bumpers down the road , I agree with taking it easy picking a good line when you do not have all the armor to protect a brand new truck . Sometimes I think the back seat drivers of the interweb have gotten used to channels with kitted out jeeps/trucks people with sponsors and 1k's of views and patreon supporters to get things fixed , I enjoy watching someone with some common sense and a budget that's closer to mine doing a real test of what the truck can do as it would be driven day to day !
Definitely a rear locker in that truck would kill them trails with ease🤘🏼🤘🏼

This trail is in PA at Famous Reading Outdoors.
good, what is the size of the tires and wheels. Greetings from Bolivia 🇧🇴

If you hold the TC button for 10 seconds it will flash. Then it's completely off.
While I own a new F-150, I have a 97 ranger that would put the newer ifs ranger to shame. It's a little goat, goes places literally no one can believe. This video was like being water boarded. You know it's gotta end sometime.
Your 97 Ranger will still be running when this Danger's turbo burns out. Nice looking rig though. I saw one on the road yesterday and that's why I'm researching it on the web. My 03 Taco a is still running great but the Ranger with the level 2 performance package is sweet.
@@tommywallbanger been looking at that new BRONCO with the sasquatch package. I really like the idea of the ranger but I want a smaller off-road rig and the BRONCO looks like a better fit. Plus I have a full sized truck anyway, so the stranger isn't as realistic to get. Those Tacos run forever. My bros got one and he wants to be buried with it. I like them too. Excellent trucks and you can't kill em all that easy. A huge aftermarket supply of goodies too.
With the off-road package that thing should have a standard rear Locker in it you need to let some air out of those tires
Fx4 and tremor have standard locker . It's only optional on other trims👍
What lift and tires?

Rear locker or not, the stock ranger has been shown to be very capable. Much more tougher terrain than this. This looks bad, yeah the truck made it up. Bad driver?
100% bad driver and too high air pressure.
Trail control on/off?
Not available on this trim. Need fx4 or tremor
Like the ranger engine 4 cylinder turbo Tacoma and the gladiator should of gone diesel or gas 4 cylinder turbo charged motor
Tienen mucha presión esos neumáticos...
First time on off road trail
i dont think the driver has aired down..... why??? that's the first thing to do..... i am surprised....
There is NO traction control on the front when in 4 low.. only in 2 and 4 high
Let some air out of the tires!!!🤔
Fx4 comes with a rear locker
Air down, lock the rear.
Kalah dengan Hilux..........saya pencinta Ford rangger...tapi sayang dilapangan tidak bisa dharapkan
You should’ve air down a little bit
I just went out and kissed my Tacoma TRD PRO. 😍
No locker = junk in off roading like this at least just a rear
What a turd. Needs front and rear lockers like the zr2.
You got that right. What a pathetic performance
Air down your tires maybe🤦🏻♂️
We try to make the hills as hard as possible for the trucks to show how the 4x4 system handles them. If a truck can't make it up the hill airing down would definitely make them easier.
Podría desinflar los neumáticos …..
Need to air down lol makin ford look bad
lock the rear diff lol
U can tell that the driver is a noob lol
DirtJeeping at least the drier didnt send it *shrug*
Where's your expert how-to videos?
Pretty good job for a truck without lockers. Rocks like that are harder than it looks because of all the shifting & inability to keep sustained traction.
Krasnaludek the Ranger does have a locker
i thought it was just me.. ever listen to a song with a good beat but listening to the lyrics suck! well.......
Good truck terrible driver, and the tires are not aired down.
Locker or not. This guy can't drive.
Toyota system is better
The Ford Maverick could have done better than this truck.
Piece of shit. Gotta get a Toyota. Screw this junk
