- Here's Why You SHOULD NOT Buy The New 2023 Ford Ranger..
Welcome back to Car Central, today on the channel we are going to check out Why you SHOULD NOT buy the new 2023 Ford Ranger. It’s difficult to overstate the importance of the 2023 Ford Ranger in Australia. In one of Australia’s most popular - and hotly contested - markets, the Ranger has been taking on an incumbent favourite head-on. And when you look at four-wheel-drive sales (discounting the two-wheel-drive variants), it often comes out on top. It occupies a staggering slice of Ford’s overall pie in Australia, and lays the foundation for successful spin-offs like the Everest and Ranger Raptor. It’s a job that only gets harder, when you consider how successful and impressive Ford’s outgoing Ranger has remained during its 11-year tenure. It was good enough to take on the Toyota HiLux for sales dominance, and often won the race for 4x4 models.
Those are some big boots to fill, and a whole lot of weight on the shoulders. Goes to reason, then, that Ford engineers have left nothing on the table with a new model. There might have been a temptation to re-skin the current platform, re-jig a few things and sprinkle in some extra tech. However, they didn't do that. Like the T6 Ranger, this next-generation model has been designed, engineered and tested in Australia. It’s not a completely clean-sheet design. Instead, they have taken the successful T6 platform and moved it into a new-generation model. The wheel track has been bumped outwards by 50mm. Not by wheel offset, but by reworked suspension. It’s still leaf-sprung at the back with independent struts up front, but the rear shock absorbers have been mounted outboard of the chassis rails. Oh, and most models - those with an electric park brake - now have rear disc brakes. More about the new 2023 Ford Ranger in this video.

With all respect, whatever you said was just pure BS! now that this vehicle is out, I can say for sure that none of the reviewers lied about it - it's a very nice and capable ute! and just fyi, the outgoing Ford Ranger is always been in the top 2 best seller ute/trucks in Asutralia - it has always been a nice vehicle!
Seconded.

Fourthed? 😅
Fitheded!
This is just a worthless clickbait video. Downvote move on.
Is this a car review? Or just an attempt at negative publicity? Best selling car in Australia. You compare it to a completely different class of car which is pointless. You say it has no power? 184kw 600nm is no power?The car literally has the same engine (detuned because the Ranger weighs a lot less) as the f150 haha. This is stupid.
Hilux is the best selling car for over 6 years bud
Best selling 4x4, 2nd best selling car

does it say car review from the title or negative publicity.....????
I just bought a 2023 Ranger and so far it has been amazing. No issues regarding engine, windows or size. I am currently using it for commuting and for transporting two or three enduro bikes from home to the jungle and back.
Give it time the piece of shit will start falling apart in no time, but don’t worry your not only potato who bought there is thousands of others that wanted to look cool in driving an overpriced dog turd as well 😂
Yes.. so far so good… give it another 12 months
Did you get the 2.0L? Or the gasoline engine? How's the 10 speed gear transmission?
@@tacuazinful The 2.0L diesel. I haven't had any issues with the transmission. It responses as expected and I weekly carry two enduro bikes plus gear. It performs perfectly.
@@DJTrumpMAGA yeah by then Trump should be in prison too.
As an owner of a 2019 model in the USA the only thing I agree with is the rear seats being cramped. How can you compare it to a 150? Not even close to the same pickup. There’s a reason and purpose for both vehicles.
In Australia the 2023 ranger V6 is $65000 and the V6 F150 will be $150000. Is it half as good? I say no- it's right up the F trucks arse in every test and Aussie car parks are half the size as the US so you can't park the bloody things anywhere without sticking out an pissing off everyone.
@@redroo12 In the US it is an $8,000 difference between the Ranger and the F150. Due to the number of F150s vs Rangers built it is easier to get the F150 at a discount. Parking is also not an issue for an F150. The F350/450 duallies are not even that bad to park most places.
I heard they’re pretty much almost the same dimensions.
@@carknower The largest configuration of the Ranger is (WxLxH in inches) - 77.8x210.8x71.5 width is without mirrors
The F150 is 79.9x250.3x79.8.
@@redroo12 Sounds like your city planners need to plan for trucks.
I have a 2022 and I LOVE it. Absolutely zero issues. Just got back from a 1200 mike trip. Regardless of what you are saying I find it to be a great ride. I test drove almost every mid-sized truck available and the Ranger was the all around best. I went with every intention of buying a Tacoma. I didn't even want to test drive a Ranger. My wife talked me in to driving a used one on the Toyota lot. It was better in every way. The Tacoma drove like a 10 year old truck. I left there and bought a new ranger at the Ford dealer.
That's a lot of Mikes.
Yeah yours is different. It is more reliable
Fords are the most unreliable after a few years, me and my friends know this first hand, the painful way. But i'm glad you're happy with yours for now.
2022 is still brand new update us after 2 to 3 years.
You will go back to Toyota in the end .!
The vehicle shuts off automatically to save fuel. If you don't want it to, just keep your foot lightly on the brakes when stopped, or push the auto on/off switch when you get it (looks like a letter "A" with a circular arc around it). It's not dangerous; it's doing exactly what it is designed to do.
The seats aren't cramped; they're normal sized. This is not a full-sized truck, so it's not going to be F-150 sized. You can't complain it costs more than a medium sized pickup, but then complain it's not as big as a full-sized; you can't have it both ways.
For windshields? Never heard of that happening in Australia. Ever. And the previous generation had been around since 2011. A quick google suggested the aforementioned issue was only in the US. Maybe it's how you guys assemble cars. The Thailand factory didn't seem to produce the same problem...
Yes; everyone would like the F-150 better, but they don't all buy it because some things are outside their price point. That's just how it is sometimes. I'd like a Ferrari, but that's not going to happen. Ask many people if they want a Ferrari too. Horses for courses...
Either you're stupid or complicit in pushing a hit-piece, but there's a plethora of information out there saying the Next Gen Rangers will come with the 2.3L Ecoboost, and the Ranger Raptor will get the 3.0L V6 Ecoboost. You American's and your thirst for "gasoline" are taken care of; calm down. Yes; the F-150 has biggest engines, but it's also a bigger vehicle.
Surprise, surprise; the Ranger is smaller internally, and externally, than the bigger vehicle. Stop the presses! A Ranger will still do plenty for what you need. For some, it will do everything they need. For others; it won't. If a vehicle can't do what you need it to do; don't buy it. People who need the space will take this into account.
This entire video could have been replicated between F-150 and F-250, or F-250 and F-350, etc. With each step up, each model gets bigger, and can take more stuff in the bed. Write this exact same story between Maverick and Ranger, and you'll determine Ranger to be the winner, and Maverick to be not worth it. Do Car Central just hate Ranger? This is clearly full of bias.
Australia doesn't produce cars. We haven't for 5 years. We've never produced Ranger here anyway, so we never "stopped production due to faulty fuel injectors". Again; either incompetent, or deliberately lying. They did temporarily stop sales of the BiTurbo back in 2018, but they didn't stop producing anything, because they don't make anything.
Not sure about the gearbox. Gearboxes have long been the Achilles Heel of Fords. There's no shortages of stories, posts, affidavits, etc, regarding Fords going into "limp home" mode when the transmission overheats, or lawsuits over dodgy transmissions (believe that one though was Fiesta's/Focus's/Mondeo's). Ford have made changes to the Next Gen gearbox and engines though, and they now only come in automatic, and have features to help prevent abuse leading to decreased longevity. A recent test of the new V6 diesel Ranger against a V6 diesel VW Amarok (a model that is 6 years old), showed the VW was still faster in a drag race because the Fords' computer intervened in low gears, reducing torque output from maximum, likely to prevent excessive wear or strain on components. That's a good thing.
The Next Gen Ranger lineup has far outstripped Ford's supplier abilities here in Australia. Some buyers are seeing wait times in excess of 12 months for their new Ranger. Typically these limitations are for orders optioned with Premium parts (Matrix LED headlights, 360 cameras, tow packs, Bang & Olufson stereo, etc). Customers who want to drop that sort of stuff are able to get vehicles in weeks.
2 months ago - despite not even having officially gone on sale yet - Ford Australia had over 6 months worth of Rangers on pre-order. That's likely gone up since it went on sale, and that doesn't include fleet buyers who will have placed orders through fleet websites after it went on sale.
Next Gen Ranger could be about to become Australia's #1 selling vehicle in 2023, so that's a pretty solid reaffirment of the vehicle's credentials; a vehicle can't be #1 if it's rubbish.
I'd be surprised if the US didn't really take to the Next Gen Ranger either.
I wish we had the diesel versions in the U.S. I was also sad to see no Manual option. Something similar to the broncos 7 speed manual would be nice. Also a vehicle I’d love to see the diesel in. 20 years in the service saw the world. Came home and could get a manual or diesel anything really. Holding onto my ‘17 6
@@nsatoday I have the 3.2L diesel version as in UK. Next year will be the first time we can get this on gas, but diesel versions will still be available
I believe that you can disable (set to save last state selected by driver) the auto start/stop with forscan.
For the most part I understand and agree with what you are saying. In the US the price difference between the Ranger and F150 is not that much so the F150 generally wins out unless you specifically want the Ranger. Trim levels have a lot larger impact on price than the actual truck model. When I was ordering I was looking at the F350 and F450 and paid the extra 2.5% for the F450. This was less than the difference between the Lariat and the King Ranch on either truck.
Disconnect the relay by the battery, it wont turn off at stop signs, that way u dont have to press any switches i did this to my 2021
It is called "Stop and Start". It has been fitted on most vehicles for nearly 15 years to comply with pollution regulation but I feel like the guy who made this video is a bit of a caveman. "The engine stopped, this is witchery!!! Must be a shit car" he said.
The new Ranger is already here, the information in this video is purely inaccurate unless you're looking at it from a USA point of view. That model is an overseas model. It has the new V6 diesel engine and everything from the ground up is all new.
The model you're talking about is probably the older model the USA got in 2019.
Re-upload a new video with accurate facts. The model you're showing in that video has already surpassed 20000 pre-orders, the most orders ever seen on any Ford model hands down.
Even here in the US...I call "false" on this video. You STILL can't get a new Ranger without waiting for your ordered one to come in. Their extremely popular here too.
@@edgrigsby8610 why there is noRanger manual transmission in the US? in Asia the Rangers comes with manual or auto trans.
@@gutadin5 I'm pretty sure you can get a manual transmission. Most people like the automatic transmission.
Ive driven a few new Ford Rangers and think they are excellent for what they are designed to do. Superb grip in 4x4 mode.
@@landrover1155 Land Rover plagues with reliability issues, not a commercial vehicle.
What about long term maintenance and reliability?
Owner of a 2022 Ranger Lariat FX4, absolutely love it !! Spoken with a few owners over the last year, haven't heard any complaints from anyone of them. Weird, no recalls either....
#StaySalty
there was 1 RECALL FOR THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE the 2022 RANGER FX4 CREW CAB, They did what they needed(ford dealer) to do, end of story. The FORD RANGER is a GOOD TRUCK.
I have a 2022 ranger tremor love it it is smaller than the 2019 f 250 but what do you expect for a small truck it can pull more and pay load more than some Chevy and dodge half ton trucks
I call Bullshit with a capital B. My 2022 Ranger FX4 Lariat, built in Michigan, USA, is the best truck, actually the best vehicle, that I've ever owned, in my 52 years of owning many trucks and cars. I guess haters gonna hate?
I have a 2020 Ranger, US spec. It’s been a great little truck so far with zero regrets. You are correct that it doesn’t have the best rear seat in the market, but since it’s mostly just me and sometimes my wife as well rear seat didn’t matter. I ordered mine as a Super Cab with the longer bed anyway. Come back when you actually have facts and are not just trying a smear campaign.
I have a 21 Ranger Crew cab and both my kids fit in the back comfortably with car seats. Love my Ranger.
When the new one gets here it's going to be awesome 2023 model for America
And "omg the windshield pops off on impact did they even safety test these things" you got way more issues to worry about when in an accident than a possible weak windshield...lol this guy
Agree I have a 2020 ranger u.s. model and have 17,000 miles on it . Really like my ranger no complaints. How this guy goes off on comparison with a f150 is like apples and oranges 🤣.
Agreed, too much BS.
Stop start standard feature can be turned off
I doubt whether he even knows there is Stop Start in this truck or may be he has never heard of it.
Hello everyone, I bought a Ford Ranger wildtrak year 2022, absolutely perfect, no problems so far. In a few years I will see if all these problems will actually arrive as described in the video. Here in Europe there are many Ford Rangers, but I have never heard of such serious problems. Best regards
I have same. Do you have a poor sound system also?
@gunny update US after 2 to 3 years 2022 is still brand new
I’m a Toyota guy, but I gotta say that this video is nuts. Why don’t you just compare an escape to a Range Rover. Cause that’s what you’re doing comparing the ranger to an f150. Hopefully people who are looking at a ranger and don’t know much about cars will read the comments after watching this video, cause that’s where you’ll get proper information.
Quite a bizzare video. I've only heard very positive reports on the previous and 2023 Ranger.
Really? My friend is a mechanic that specialized in Rangers and he said to avoid them like the plague haha.
@@bryneg2664 My friend is a mechanic, his everyday ride is a Ford Ranger. He recommends them🤔
@@xylosfurniture my friend is a mechanic and he said only people with small genitalia buy Ford trucks.
@@bryneg2664 id take your word, but that will depend on how shitty of a mechanic your friend is
I have a 2019 Ford Ranger 4X4 XLT It is a great truck! It goes 0-100 in 8 seconds. You can't beat that. It had 19,000 miles. I bought it new in 2020 My warranty is up in 23!
I've owned 3 different rangers (kept upgrading) the last 6 years and I WILL be buying the latest v6 Ford ranger they're a great tough ute never had any issues and I just took the v6 deisel for a test drive yesterday and it does Not disappoint 👍 money well spent so far
You must be buying the lucky ones, Ranger I had spent its life at the dealership getting fixed
I’m retired and living in the Philippines and I am picking up my 2023 ford ranger sport 4x2 in about a week or two. It’s already at the dealership and I’ve sat in it and being a 5’10” 210lbs American I was more than comfortable in the front seats and the back seat with the front seats left in the position I had them in when I sat up front. I am also benefiting from the fact that I got the trim level just above the XLT so full leather and keyless entry with push button start and my OTD price is only $26k USD.
This vid was made by Chevrolet!
Definitely. Outside the US, the Ranger is one of the most spacious vehicles in its class
The reviewers didn’t lie about anything. You have clearly done this video not knowing anything about it, and definitely haven’t driven one. It offers plenty of luxury ( that you would not expect in a ute in its class), it drives extremely well etc. It’s always been a success here in Australia but there is currently around an 18 month wait for the V6 version. I had to wait 12 months for my V6 Wildtrak and I love it. If it was as bad as you say I would’ve sold mine already. Not only have I not sold it it is my daily. I drive it more then any of my other cars.
Sounds like someone is trying to destroy the ranger sells. Everything I've heard about the ranger has been great. Must be sponsored by Toyota. It's a small truck of course the f150 has more room.
You realize the mid size market exists for a reason right? The f150 is bigger so that means it's better. What??? Some people want a smaller truck. It's also the reason the ranger has less power than the f150. It's smaller, and lighter.
Yes The F150 sell good, partly because of the GM/Ford co designed transmission and rear end. Literally not much difference between F150 transmission parts and a GM.
I owned six rangers the last 20 years and some other vehicles between and one f 150 raptor first gen. now i´m a proud owner of the new ranger raptor. this thing is so far ahead above all pick up trucks i´ve ever driven before. the only thing i miss is the sound of the 6.2 v8. but more important for me is the quality of the interieur. and that thing is a giantic jump forwards.
for only 50,000 dollars more, imagine that. ford went woke, screw them.
I already bought the 2023 Ranger Raptor model after seeing this misleading video and I'm loving it. Very capable vehicle and nimble on/off road.
Update US after 2 to 3 years 25,000 to 35,000 kms 2023 is still brand new
i don't know what kind of Ranger you guys build over there in the US but here in Australia it is very successful reliable best selling truck in Australia that is build in Thailand but designed and engineered in Australia...
Is this some kind of joke? The only thing that disappoints me about the 2022 Ranger is the lack of a manual transmission and a standard cab version (no rear seat or automatic glitch to worry about then.)
I bought a 2017 Model new, 130,000km - Cooling system died, Emissions filter died , Ad Blue motor died & catalytic converter. Approx $5K so far.
I feel you, unfortunately there's a reason the resale values are so low. Me and my friends have suffered from Ford ownership before, one's a mechanic that told me to stay away from them. He makes a good living fixing them though.
Love how he spoke of the start-stop feature as if it was a dangerous fault 😂😂 what a goof
If Jeremy says no that’s a green light to order one ☝️
In Jamaica 🇯🇲 got the 2017 model. Transmission has been an expensive nightmare. Performance never really stocked up, especially off road. Old Toyota Prado run rings around it.
Mine Ford Ranger Tdci 2.5 XLT 2008.. till now 💪🏻🔥
This is s definitely mostly BS I’ve got a 2019 ranger and got almost 100k miles on it with absolutely zero issues! Loved every smile in it!
The best designed truck on the market , it will be years before the competition catches up to it here in Australia beutiful silky smooth v6 diesel's and gas engines , the whole vehicle oozes quality .
If you read up on the new ranger you wil find out they have got a lot of issues and there haveing trouble fixing these problems ,there's been lot replaced ,and that is not good ,they ar getting the lemon tag .
@@vangard3415 There is not a single article in the world produced by mankind that does not have teething problems until the bugs are ironed out, the best way to iron out the bugs is get it on the market, and as they pop up, deal with it and then correct the problem on the production line.

2:30 - Stop/start has been around for years
3:30 - Recalls unfortunately happen with all vehicles, as long as Ford address the issue correctly that's what matters
so true!
Exactly ans exactly
The auto start stop is not a safety hazard lol. It's a programmed feature, it shuts off at a light and as soon as your foot leaves the brake it restarts on its own and by the time you hit the gas it is going. This feature can also be turned off by pushing a button inside the cab. I've never heard of the windshield thing, and i own a 2019 ranger. It also has a 2.3 Liter Ecoboost, not a 2.0 Liter.
Did you guys do any actual research at all before putting a video out?
What’s up with this video? Everyone who has one loves it.
Gonna have to disagree with you mate, my friend's a mechanic and he told me to stay away from them. Brand new they're ok, but after a few years alot of things will go wrong. He makes a good living fixing them up.
I have a 2016 Ford Ranger and never had a single issue. Currently at 228000km and all I've done is service
I can not comment on the new Ranger but I have a 2000 Ranger 4x4 super cab and it has no rust and still runs and looks like new. It has been a very good trouble free truck for 22 years. I'm sure it will last for many more years.
I have 4 Rangers. 2019-2022. I call BS on most if not all of what you video has to say. It is reliable, comfortable and it has performed in all situations. I own a Pest Control Company and were we work most of the roads are just okay, many dirt roads. I am my employee’s range fro 6’ to 6’4”. AWESOME trucks. Your info is untrue at best.
This is hard to watch, did you just try and compare a Ranger with an F150...... please delete this video and try again.
Ford Ranger is a great truck. I bought in 2019 and it's great. These critics love to bash the Ranger, it's a light truck, better than a Tacoma. Relax and chill, the Ranger's back seat isn't roomy but it's fine.
we have been using 2023 ranger for 2 weeks now, and its 1000km yesterday so far we have no issue with the engine, but we have issue on finding accessories like bedliner.. ill update later if we encounter something..
Ask the ford dealership where you bought the truck
I would like to hope that within 1000 that there would be no problems.
Biggest load of bs I have ever listened to.
Owned a Ranger now for 6 years and done thousands of kilometres towing a 3 ton caravan in remote areas of Australia. Aside from a split turbo hose on the last trip, it has been absolutely faultless.
I find the vehicle very comfortable for long distance travel and I have ridden comfortably in the rear seat on occasion. I am 6' and 94 kgs so not exactly small.
No it isn't the size of a F150 but neither are most of our carparks here. Even a Ranger can be a challenge in some of them.
Given the sterling service my Ranger has given me I am planning on purchasing the new V6 model in the future. No other mid range truck comes close.
The engine shutting off is a stop start feature to save fuel…what a crap review 😭😭
Not only that there are multiple waye to get rid of it
My ranger didn't even come with start stop and im glad it didn't because it's a ridiculous option and I'm sure it can only strain the starter? Love my ranger too
I dunno, people... I have a 2018 Ford Escape Titanium 4wd with the 2.0 Ecoboost engine. I bought this car brand new as a spare vehicle because I get a new company issued truck every 3 years, but who wants to drive a service vehicle around after work ? Anyway, as of now in 2025 the vehicle just turned 30,000 miles. This little suv is never, ever abused, always dealer serviced, and is so mint, the plastic is still on the radio display. The problem is the build quality. These Ford vehicles seem to self destruct with little warning. At 19,000 miles the 4wd power transfer case began making noise, metal bits came out with the oil change, at 28,000 miles the rear wheels bearings failed outright, with very loud howling and grinding...they were full of water even though the vehicle is garage kept and barely sees rain. At 28,000 miles the rear differential began making a wurring, humming sound. I thought it was the wheel bearings again but nope, the bearings inside the rear diff are now failing. I paid for the extended warranty from Ford and was told they are aware of the failures but will not repair it. I am 58 years old and I drive like a 60 year old. There is no reason for these failures to happen. After looking online and finding all of the posted failures with pictures I am convinced that Ford sucks. I am very well experienced with automotive mechanicals and electronics, I can build engines, transmissions, and write to vehicle ECUs. I am shocked by how poor the designs are and the way they are purpose built to be a nightmare to service. This rear diff repair is estimated to cost between 4,000 to 4,800 dollars so I am doing myself. The entire rear subframe with the suspension needs to be dropped to access the rear differential. They could have easily mounted it on the other side. I wish I could add pictures to this. Good luck with any of the big three automakers.
I have to disagree with this vid, the thai model does not come with a diesel v6 but the speed and comfort it has given is amazing, put it like this, there's no other truck in the thai market with all the features, tech and power as the Ford ranger at the moment. I've test driven both the wildtrack and raptor here both are amazing to drive and offer relative comfort for my 6'4 ft frame, it's still a little cramp in the back but I am still comfortable compared to the previous generation of the ford.
Nice comments. I own a 2019 Ford Ranger. Bought new. Currently, it only has 27,000 miles on it. As you can see, I don't drive it much. I'm reluctant to. Why? Just under 3,000 miles the transmission went out. It had to be towed from my driveway back to the dealership.
Even today when backing up, it doesn't respond well. Feels like you are in Low 4x4(without being in 4x4). I don't know this to be true, was told Ford knows they have transmission issues. Seems true since Im living it.
I plan on keeping the miles low, trading it in when the F150 prices become realistic. To whomever buys this as a Used Vehicle.......Sorry!
This looks and sounds like a hit piece.. you're the only review with so many negative comments about this vehicle.. who is your sponsor?
Probably Toyota .🤫
I have a 2020 Ford Ranger and love it to pull my 16 foot camper. I drove the canyon and Tacoma but did not like the visibility. I turn off the auto-stop.
Driven mine for more than three years and no issues. Very economical on fuel
how many mileage on the odometer?
I just purchased a Ford Ranger Sport model few days ago and I must say I love it. ❤️
This must be April Fools Day vid. 😂. Just taken delivery of 2023 Ranger Wildtrak X. Perfect in every way. Best Ute I’ve ever owned. Clear winner for Aussie conditions vs Amarok and Hi Lux. Luxury Ute 🎉
I own a 2020 and love it, never a problem with 30k miles so far
is that a Australian Ranger or USA Ranger?
Owned one for 4 years now and no problems. I’m 6’ 2” and the truck is comfortable as anything I’ve driven. Don’t understand any of these criticisms.
What a rubbish review !! Probably the best vehicle I have ever owned !! Was the video made by Chevy 🤣👎
thats what i thought!
Chevy fan here. I don't think we have nay problems with this truck. Hell, I'm probably buying the ranger raptor instead of the zr2 colorado after seeing the reveal of the colorado yesterday. This might be a toyota sponsored video because they know this is going to bite into their sales.
I got the 2023 Wildtrak 2.0 BiTurbo and now affer 15k Kilometers I am still crazy in love. Driven private and for work, does great job.Only issue is it Does not clean itself ... 🤔🤣
Do not fret Ford Ranger buyers.... it's a hit piece. So many BS statements it rivals Bidens press secretary. Replacing my old Aussie 2012 Ranger with 350km's on the clock with a new Ranger Raptor. V6 3.0 TT Petrol. 400hp. Can't wait.
I have a 1993 Ford ranger and it’s grandkid a 2020 Ford ranger XLT absolutely love it
Why are you comparing F150 to the Ranger? Those two have separate market audiences.
I like this model.... there is nothing wrong with this...... I Love ford ranger.. .
I just bought a 2022 ford ranger lariat. And it's a fuxking beauty. I told myself I would never buy a ford but I am so relieved I did. It's a nice truck l.
No idea
I have a 2024 Ford Ranger and at least for my experience this vehicle is comfortable and durable. Like all vehicles it’s going to have its issues. Im very pleased so far with it.
The new ranger is causing people to say "R.I.P to other utes", it is probably the best ute Australia has seen and you obviously come with reasons to make it look bad. It is an excellent all round car and you can simply change the "apparent" bad things. There will always be a bad "thing" about a car and when people figure that out they usually fix it, so it wouldnt be any different to any other car because nothing is perfect apparently these days. Don't try highlight it just because YOU may not like that feature because other people may like that feature.
For 80k you shouldnt get BAD Things you need to swap out at your expense.. But fanboys will be fanboys..
Hilux is still the best Ute in Australia. It's has sold the most units for the passed 6 year. I bought a new Hilux in Feb and love mine Ute and wouldn't buy anything else. Hilux is the best Ute Australia has, not the Ranger.
@@markmcinnes1899 Do you live under a rock?
@@markmcinnes1899 Hilux is junk. They don't build them like they used to
@@twooccystraps6458 That has to be a very well equiped Ranger to be at $80k aud/$50k usd. At that point I would be looking at a lower trim F350.
Hi I live in Thailand, I was going to buy the new 2023 Wildtrak but have now decided on something else. I am not happy with the Ford dealership. My last Ford Wildtrak was a 2014 model 3.2. Although I realise that the truck was 8 years old I did not expect to have to buy a new gearbox at 64,000 miles at a cost of 7,000us$. After paying this money Ford were still not interested in taking my old truck as a down payment against a new truck. Well Toyota was interested and I am now driving a Hilux. As far as I am concerned Ford are only interested in selling their vehicles and not after sales service. I really do think they need to up their game
I live on Thailand too and would never consider a new series Ranger after the ridiculous issues in Queensland with wiring,ecu etc!!
The Rangers which are made in Thai land are far better quality than the ones made in USA and the amount od issues is on or better than the other car manufacturers. I have my second Ranger which is a wildtrak X, 2.0, ten speed it is a great vehicle, my previous Ranger was an XLS, 3.2, 6 speed auto again a great car with less niceties than the Wildtrak. Really if you bring out this sort of rubbish reporting then the name should be changed to Crap reporting Central.
“Crap reporting central” haha love it
Coming from a king ranch superduty and downsizing to a Ranger and after 2 years I still really like it. Only went in for a vacuum sensor under warranty. My only complaint is the size of the fuel tank. I feel like even 10L more would be nice especially for anyone who does any long distance towing with these things
with the current fuel prices, I wish they could provide a 2 liter bi turbo diesel engine on the ranger raptor. Things i love about the new raptor is the looks and the suspension.
they do have the Raptor in that spec in Vietnam and other places I guess. In face it's the only spec it comes in here!
we have that in the UK
@@cordellej I just bought the Triton GLS! Fook the cRaptor 😂😂😂
I'm curious to know why you prefer a 2.0 biturbo diesel as against a 3.2 or even a 3.0?
I am sure this guy is paid by rivalries to destroy the reputation of this great beast
We don’t get the Raptor Ranger in the US, but I gotta say my 2017 2.7 Ecoboost powered F150 is absolutely the most reliable new vehicle I’ve ever owned. 82k not one problem.
Mine 3.2 6speedMT... Still go strong
I have a 2019 Ranger Raptor. I'm now waiting for my new 2023 Raptor which looks amazing. Being from the part of the word that drives on the correct side of the road, the left, buying an F150 isnt an option.
I brought my Ranger new in 2015 and it’s still like the day I brought it, I’ve never had any problems.
My next vehicle will be another Ford Ranger.
We got 3 of these at work in november. First one was on a tow truck at 800km for injectors, second one needed a new gearbox at 4000km, 3rd has been at the dealer all week after going into limp mode.
My 3.2 Wildtrak 4x4 is a very solid and safe vehicle, this video is pure BS !!!
From South Africa: I own my second Ford Ranger bakkie 4x4, no issues at all, the car runs perfectly!
The difference in Australia is we have to pay 100k more for the f150….. our 4x4ing is different and a lot of us don’t require the extra room for comfort because we’re not morbidly obese.
You should be asking why an F150 is 100k more than a Ranger. We don't pay that much more for an F450.
The rate of obesity in Australian is 80% of that in the US (29% vs 36%). Not really a large enough difference to explain the difference in vehicle size preference.
The most popular choice for off road specific vehicle in the US (Jeep Wrangler) is smaller than both the Ranger and F150.
I have a new 2022 Ford Ranger XL Supercab. I asked for the windshield recall replacement and it's been six weeks - dealership said they are going to replace the windshield, not just reinstall it. I gave them the truck for a day and at the end of that day - they said they got the wrong glass, it was for a Bronco. The truck was also in for bad shifting, a loose tailgate hinge (wrong parts were put on in the factory), a bad door seal and a few other minor things. My 2010 F250 Super never had any issues other than general wear and tear. My only complaints now are the noisy ass fuel system, occasion bang shift from maybe the slip yoke and just overall fitment. Mine is the 100A with trailer tow. I didn't want all the electronic junk in it. Otherwise it's been reliable.
What a load of shit very poor review. The older rangers have there problems but most people that review, review quite well and I've driven the new v6 diesel wild track and it has plenty of power
When it comes to after sales service on a Ford Ranger under valid warranty in South Africa, then I can only agree with this podcast.I have never been so dissappointed in a car manufacturer such as Ford. We had an issue with the electronic steering rack and Ford rejected our claim. They quoted us R36,000 to have it repaired and said it was for our own account as they claimed that the righthand steering rack rubber boot had been damaged by an animal that chewed on the boot. I have had a problem with this Ford Ranger steering rack almost from new and I reported this problem with every service interval.After speaking to a local mechanic, he did a diagnostic check and found that a sensor wire had been cut off, thus the problem,causing the steering not function properly. The mechanic mended the wires and replaced the rubber boot on the steering rack. All to the cost of only R229.00.I have had just So much for being so dissappointed with the Ford motor company of South Africa. Never again will I buy a Ford vehicle in my lifetime after this bad experience. I hope that someone with authority at Ford in the USA could read, this and see how bad an experience I have had.
This presentation proudly brought to you by GM lol
No facts mate, just a hit piece, and a poorly executed one at that
I got 2022 ranger and I love it it's fast and toes the most is comfortable don't know what he's talking about a lot of people are switching over from Tacoma to ranger
"In Australia the company stopped production altogether due to a problem with the fuel injectors" - or maybe because they simply stopped making any cars in Australia since 2016
That is only 1 of many inaccuracies.
They stopped making all vehicles in Australia because the cost of making them was way too high and the government stopped propping up the manufacturers spending millions and millions of dollars to keep companies like Ford, Toyota and Holden(GM) in Australia.
@@markmcinnes1899 Yep, they used to spend millions in Australia so that Australia didn't have to spend billions on imports.
I owned a 20’ ranger sport and I had multiple issues. Leaking water in cabin, ac actuator blend door noise also with improper cooling from the dual climate control, incompetent transmission learning (slamming into gear on cold starts), rear drive shaft thunking, abs issues (alarm going off when turning right around a corner), horrible brakes, turbo lag, power loss, creaky gas pedal, thumping power steering on a cold start when turning wheel, horrible road comfort when going over bumps (you’d sway side to side like a boat), oh what else…. The auto start feature is ridiculous and will drain the battery down within a few years. I sold mine with 17k miles and bought a Tacoma. I got tired of the injector noise on cold starts from the ranger. I had to buy the engine cover that the XLT trim does not come with.
Went from a 2018 F150 lifted on 37s to a 2021 Lariat ranger on 33 1/2" tires with a 3.5" lift. I miss the overall space you have with the F150 but for what it is I love the Ranger and think this comparison as to what I would rather have between a midsized and full size is pathetic and really lazy. You do realize there are reasons for both and price is an actual issue for many people who cant just buy whatever they feel like. Put you comparisons up against toyota or nissan midsize, this review was a hot steamy dump.
On a side not totally frustrated to hear the power isn't really increasing on the new Ranger Raptor. Was looking forward to giving it a try, holding off now and might just convert my current Ranger.
Just got back from a 7K road trip with my 2021 Ranger 4x4. Did not have any issues. Even did some some 4 wheeling on the trip.
is your Ranger from America or Australia?
@@gutadin5 US
@@otway00 update us after 3 years or 35,000 miles, your Ranger is still new.
@@gutadin5 My Ranger has 42K miles on it now
I watched this and laughed...Why you say...well I'm thinking of getting a new Ranger and my wife has mobility issues...so I wanted to go out and find 1 so we could see if she could climb in it comfortably...well we went to multiple dealerships and found 0 Rangers of any trim but did find row upon row of F150's....now how do you explain that??? I am guessing you are working for Ford and getting paid to push the overstocked F150
try nissan navara for the best comfort and suspensions
@@KennCelis Navara has awesome comfort, but even with their new model Pro 4x, the interior looks something out of 2013 :(. Wish they would step it up
@@Shifisu try the vl variant
Just bought 2023 ranger ...no problem, just love it🎉🎉
The only thing I suggest to be careful with is the timing. They got rid of the chain and went for a wet belt. The service book indicates it should be replaced every 240000km or 10 years whichever comest first. The ford garage (Mechanic, not dealer) said it costs $1500 to $1800 (Australian $). But they have never seen one breaking.
Mind you, in 10 years from now (November 2022) it will probably cost $3000 to $4000 with inflation.
Update, after 3 months of ownership, one there are a couple of things I really hate about this car. There is no way to control utility lights (mirrors, boot, plates, tail and headlights. If you open a door, (shut it or leave it open), all these lights will stay on for a long time no matter what you do. An amazing mozzie magnet.
Also, you can't lift the whipers, the bonnet is in the way.
The antena should hve been shorter to allow easier parking and better roof racks.
Just personal opinion...
As an Australian 4WD Ranger owner I've not experienced the problems you have raised, yes the early, later model 2 litre Ranger diesel was suspended for sale for a short time due to a batch of faulty injectors manufactured by a 3rd party factory, Ford rightly replaced these with another source and solved the problem, not unique in the auto world.
The EGR issue is a well known problem on vehicles from many manufacturers and can be easily dealt with.
These Rangers are sold all over the world except the USA, the Aisian market alone is considerable, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, Greece, Scandanavia, Middle East, and the list continues.......they are a rugged well built vehicle and most owners are very happy with them.
As for the F150 you praise so much, it hasn't been without its share of problems historically yet has had issues resolved, ie transmission rough shifting, numerous engine problems, battery issues, oil consuption issues, windscreens seperating from turret, brake reservoirs splitting, auto shifting from park to drive at traffic light stops, etc etc
As for the Hilux afficianados, the early 2.8 Hilux diesel had its own share of Injector and DPF problems resulting in an owners united lawsuit action to the tune of multi millions of dollars here in Australia.
And in Australia and South Africa also I belive the only reason the Hilux sells slightly more 'utes or bakkies' is the cheap single cab 2WD tray back models, the loaded Ford Ranger 4WD pickups well outsell Toyota, Isuzu D'Max, VW, etc.
As for the Rams, Chevrolet, GMC, F'series, these are now body off retro-converted to right hand drive here in Australia by 3rd party manufacturers for the Australian, New Zealand and I believe soon through Ram maufacturing Australia (RMA) for the mining industry in South Africa, pushing the price well over the USA price as the US manufacturers won't run RHD assembly lines as they used to do, Ford Brazil previously provided RHD Ford F series pickups for the Australian market, but now superior mirror image conversions are engineered and assembled now here in Australia to an extremely high standard.
Again not everyone wants a full sized pickup and the current midsized pickups are more than suitable in Australia, (incidently the largest 4WD ownership 'per capita' on the planet).
Many of our outback tracks are not suitable for the full sized American pickups cand remember that a tiny Suzuki 4WD Sierra will often bounce through places nothing else will, its horses for courses and big is not always better.
Surprising how many have trouble processing this concept however!
Jus sayin'
Bloody yanks haha, no idea
My 2020 RANGER works excellent 👌 zero problems
The raptor ranger will have to most power in the mid sized class. What are you talking about?
I HAVE A 2022 FORD RANGER LARIAT FX4 CREW CAB. Iwas sent a RECALLNOTICE for my WINDSHIELD and the ISSUE WAS RESOLVED. EVERY MANFACTURER GETS RECALLS at one time or another for something or another. IHAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES WITH MY RANGER. The FORD RANGER is NOT PERFECT but, NO CAR OR TRUCK IS. As far as COMFORT goes, I LIKE MY RANGER, I PLAN ON KEEPING IT AS LONG AS I CAN. With PRICE INCREASES being what they are on NEWER TRUCKS, I'M NOT LOOKING FORWARD to STARTING PAYMENTS over.
At least Ford would have recalls and willing to fix problems, rather than Toyota having the paint peeling problems that Toyota Australia has no care whatsoever!
WTF are you even talking about??? I own a 2021 Ranger Tremor and absolutely love it! 0-Issues and perfect for the Utah back country. not to mention, unlike the Raptor we traded in. You can actually park and use it in a drive-through without worrying about ripping off the rear fenders!
Mixing and matching issues with the AU diesel injector issues with the flawless turbo 4 gas US version is very deceptive and below basic journals standards.
I must say getting $10,000 more than than I paid for the Raptor was plus...
In the US I would most likely also choose the F150 as I am a big guy, but the Ranger was and still is a great car ... topping the competition in Asia where we live. Too sad that you guys don't get the 2.0 Diesel biturbo, what is the perfect motor for a pickup truck, economic and fund to drive. Our new one in orange will be picked up tomorrow ;-)
The EPA makes it tough for small diesels. Once you get over 8,500 lb GVWR the regulations change and diesels are more viable. This is why the 6.6/6.7L diesels outsell the small diesels by a huge margin.
Stopping at signal it turns off, its built into it.
I owned a Ranger and a Everest. Both were duds and now I have a Prado. I will never go back regardless of the power of the V6
The wife has the US version of the Prado (Lexus GX) and loves it. Unfortunately the 6,500 lb towing capacity is a little on the low side. We have used a Ram 2500 to tow for the last 12 years and are going back to Ford with the replacement (2 bad Ford trucks in a row in 1999/2000).
