Hi CarSauce, I've just seen the CURRENT AFFAIR regarding the issues of the current FORD RANGER. Issues such as suddenly braking at 80 km/h, dash board screen showing nothing and poor customer service. In your future videos, COULD YOU PLEASE INCLUDE CURRENT ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE (any vehicles) and WHAT THE MANUFACTURERS DOING ABOUT IT (fixes). Your videos influences how our hardworking Australians buy their knew vehicles. You will provide GREAT SERVICE to our community by providing not just the POSITIVE and NEGATIVE reviews about the vehicle but also the actual issues with it. This way, the MANUFACTURERS can be put on notice, up their standards and giving the manufacturers the idea CUSTOMER SERVICE should be their number one priority. Now that's a concept, PASSIONATE ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE. EVERYTHING You NEED to KNOW including ISSUES

I’ve had my Ranger 13 years from brand new and it’s been the best truck I’ve ever had and it’s always scary upgrading but you have put my mind at ease, think I’ll just stay with the dual cab XLT and hope it lasts just as long!!

I tow for a living, and have a late 21and the 4 cylinder will cope with anything you throw at it, and it does a good impression of being a bigger engine, the 10 speed gearbox, combined with decent sound deadening and active road noise cancellation through the stereo, and simulated engine noise, you don't notice when it's got the revs up and changing gear all the time to maintain the seemingly smooth steady speed you're travelling at.

Love your work mate. Nice to see a good honest take without the BS. I have a 19 2.0, and have an order for a V6. I drove it last week. Yeah its a nice engine, but im not sure its the game changer people make it out to be. I tow a 2.5 tonne boat over a mountain range a few times a year and its fine for that. Interesting in your thoughts on the V6 vs 2.0

Great review Matt. I'm a 200 series owner (the best car I've ever owned) but boy, am I seriously tempted by the Ford Ranger v6. More research for me on this one.

Love it, we own a 19 and a 21. Being previous generation owners I can say first hand the improvements over the old generation are huge. The 2.3 is some much more powerful than the old 4.0, the 10 speed transmission is a huge upgrade. The standard 3.73 rear end is a great match. Cruising just highway 25 mpg is achievable.

Great review - way better than the other so far (which is simply based off the marketing brochure) - I mean, chalk and cheese of the typical outlets. Well done mate.

great review. really inching me forward to get one reserved. but the thing about fords here in the PH is their spotty record on build quality. esp engine and transmission bits. i owned the redesigned ranger(px1) back in 2012, sold it after 2 years, it had so many problems. transmission, electronics gah!

Hats off to the way you review cars, budding jeremy clarkson of australia! Congrats!

EXCELLENT EXCELLENT review. 10/10. The VERY BEST I have seen so far. WELL done.

Super honest review other’s reviewers on other channel’s felt they were being careful not to hurts fords feelings. 👍🏻

800mm wading. The water was 2 thirds up the wheels. Wow scary test!

Just subscribed. Great review, fun, easy to watch and nfoolow, loved the format of the good/bad points. Without all the sellers spiel. I liked it. Subscribed and want to see more reviews of the next gen Ranger range, especially the new Raptor. I liked the information supplied, such as the badges etc. Alot things not seen on other reviews. Well done.

Best review yet Matt well done mate love how you put the pallet in the back definitely Australia's best car Reviewer

Yep, keep up the good work Matt. really good unbiased review.

If you are skipping the wildtrak, there are shops already offering the pop out cup holders, just install em yourself 😁

Would definitely get this or the D-Max any day over the low-tech Toyota 😂 oh Hilux will step up no doubt, but maybe in 5 years time while they do extensive R&D on how the hell they are going to deliver it, then when it finally arrives, they will charge you $20k over the competitors, take all your orders and put your build on indefinite hold 😂😂😂😂

I honestly love these No bullshit No wank reviews 👍🏻 I’ve taken both for a test drive and your spot on the v6 feels better not having to work as hard. Did you get to test the headlights or the stereo system?

I’m gonna wait at least 3 years because I want to see how the v6 ages. I love this car though and want one more than anything but don’t really trust it instantly.

This truck is head an shoulders above any other midsized truck out there ..current Gen or this upcoming Gen Ranger. Then you have a Ranger Raptor. In America Ford Is #1 truck builder for a reason.

Just found this review. Plan to get the XLT with the 2.7 turbo V6 (US engine choice). Could you do me a favor and come to America to do our car reviews? You absolutely cracked me up and was still very informative! 😆

I'm sad that they don't have these in The US. I would TOTALLY get one

Omggggg really 79 or 76 all day … guys I would love to see this ford really do same hard 4w4ing

I test drove one today. Very impressed at how smooth and quiet it was for a diesel. It makes the Isuzu feel like a tractor in comparison.

Great review again 👍😎 best Ute hope it’s reliable

Great, but what about the auxillary switches, first time here love the no BS review, subscribed!

You're very silent about the problem with electric park brake servo's. My Next Gen Ranger Sport (9000km) is parked up at a dealer waiting for replacement park brake servos. One of the factory servos leaked brake fluid which flooded the servo motors and controls. No external leak. All captured in component. Brake fluid is corrosive. The dealer banned the car from being driven until the new redesigned servo/calliper units are installed as it is a KILL YOU risk if the control electronics decide to apply that brake hard on while driving. It's the 3rd Next Gen Ranger this dealer has seen with this. Sounds like a major recall issue but Ford remaining deathly silent on this. Is that the stuff of a "listening company"??

I would buy it...but it doesn't have the Coyote V8...I will stick with my F150

6:40 - Couldn't agree more lmao well said! Great review :D

So as far as speed test goes from a standstill the V6 is barely any faster. That is a bit disappointing

Great vehicle and great review. The only trouble is, you can’t get one. Well at least not in a reasonable timeframe that a new car buyer would find acceptable. If I placed an order today it would have a minimum 8 month wait (that’s what Ford corporate advises as minimum), which means that would turn into 12 or more..

I pick mine up on Friday.....can't wait

Thanks Matt for your informative unbiased review.

Would be iconic if they come out with the straight 6cyl like back in the late 80's- 90's f150 's.

Great Review, Would like for you to a review on the Raptor when it does come out in Code Orange if possible. Great job

Does it have an actual transfer case or is it like the current Amarok with access to a couple of lower of gears?

The old look was so much better 😭

I have a wildtrak 2.0 bi turbo 2021 and it flogs the hilux so if you think the others are as good as the 2.0 you need to drive back to back, perhaps you are being spoilt with how it looks after the driver. Also you are the only person who has ever said the Ranger is not as good on road as any other make.

Yup, I've ordered it, can't wait to get it.........Ranger number 3

funny. We only get the 4cyl ecoboost in the states, however is way faster with a 6.7 0-60mph (~0-100km/h). I'd definitely take the v6 for the added torque though.

I think that japanese car brands are a little bit conservative in their approach so they make cars to be at competition with each other, but not completely blow them out of the water. Whereas ford does intent on completely obliterating the competition although Isuzu did take a huge leap forward comparing it to it predecessor. Nissan and Toyota are doing alright, Mazda needs more love, but Mitsubishi has to do something big, it's being left behind.

What are the 2 tow hook things on the back, on the bit that folds down

I like the review. 👏👏👏 I would like to see the top of the range Ford Everest 👍

Currently have 21.75 XLT. Do you have a video on a comparison between neq Wildtrak and for instance, XLT/XLS? All videos seem to feature the new Wildtrak, but nothing I've seen to compare the model range. You touched on a couple points, such as the dash storage/cup holders etc, but is there a lengthy video on the differences through our, inside and outside?

we did a drag with this 3.0 and a 3.0 Amarok today - the Amarok still bloody won

Hello, have Ford fixed the issues of bed liners peeling, transmission overheating, V6 tail shaft vibrations, apparent computer issues, I’m asking on the basis of possibly buying. I’m interested in the Raptor but not for over $100 grand on road. I’m looking at the wild track . I just don’t want to buy a vehicle that realistically is around $80 grand and I have to keep going back to the dealership for issues, because I’ve heard Ford dealers and their after sales service is shocking.

Great review! Thanks Matt!

So I just picked up a new Ranger Wildtrak V6. I wan to know why none of the reviews I have seen never discussed the fatigue management systems in the Ranger along with the problematic lane centering system. The fatigue management system or a serious distraction and I believe a hazard. I got told to have a break less than 5 minutes after having done so. The Lane keeping is another big issues that I have never seen comment on. Driving the pot hole riddled Bruce Highway I turned off the Lane keep crap because I was constantly dogging pot holes. The stupid bloody system was turning its self back on while driving and of course because I was dogging pot holes the car said to have a break again. I want to know why you reviewers have never mentioned this?

How’s the B&O sound system ? Does it have a subwoofer fitted now ?

Such a shame, the D max had a short run of superiority to find itself blown out of the water. My mate ordered v6 and on 11 month waiting list. I asked if worth the wait. Replied ‘definitely’ as would regret going with something else. Though his base model 10k more than Dmax, he intends to keep for 7 to 8 years.

Great job reviewing matt. They're popping up everywhere and your's is best. I was worried about your thumbs in the steering wheel going through those ruts. 😬 Thanks for the extensive Ranger range reviews too. 👍🏻👍🏻

Great review well done

Hi does the v6 ranger that you tried have the optional extras? And do you know if there's a brochure available for the extras that I could see ? Thanks!

Why can't I find a xl review instead of the highest trim

If it can drive just 2 wheels then it’s not really a permanent 4WD then is it?

8:29 that's because you have to pull up before pulling forward.

Well the sidekick wasn't around nice review

What is with those jeans dude, really. Ohh back to the Ranger......

In the UK, the 5 pot can't get into most city's due to emissions. I'd heard the V6 is petrol to overcome this? Also I hope Ford have overcome the AC issue within the dash.

Can you do next gen v6 wildtrak vs v6 raptor video? ( diesel vs petrol )

great review, thanks.

Everything I need, except for a bigger bed

Are they really $75k AUD? The 2.0 bi-turbo wildtrak is about $63k AUD here in Vietnam. Excessive either way, but not alot to choose from

Can you review the GWM Cannon… be interesting to see your take on it.

New GMC Canyon ,Colorado interior its pretty pretty nice🙋🏻‍♂️ don't know if you guys gonna get it🤷‍♂️

As a long time hilux owner, I wanted to buy a new hilux this year. After a test drive I was so disappointed. Awful interior. I came to the same conclusion as you. Might consider moving to a dmax or ranger. I really like your reviews bro good job

It should hang with a Cherokee Trailhawk ;-)

What's the lights on top of the dashboard? Is that across all models, or just Wildtrak? Can you explain more ?

The Front of the Ranger looks like the front of the 2022 Ford Maverick? Is this a Ford Maverick? Like the color!

No mention of the tail shaft vibration issues.

A few months ago i was quite rude to you. Bad day, I don't know. Anyway, you won't remember it but I actually have. Because I was wrong to do it and I knew it. Not my usual style I would just like to apologise. I'm honestly sorry. Cheers.

Any subwoofer in the behind?

these is the truck of the year

75k for a RANGER!?!?! The world has gone to sh*t.

Wish we got the diesels in the US.

I see by the positioning of your thumbs, that you are new to off-road testing. Why no 0 to 100kph in manual mode? What is the turning circle like? Fuel tank size? Put it on a hoist so we can see the vulnerable points underneath? Can you option down to 17's for decent off-road rubber, or are we stuck with less capable 18's?

I like rotary dial,,, or push button

Hi Matt.. just wondering if the tailgate is lockable ?

Looks like a pretty decent rig. I was genuinely excited for these to release but having that terrible 10 speed box as the only option is a killer. Should have kept at least one trim level with a manual box.

It would be frustrating to be stuck in the middle of nowhere with an electrical fault.

So the fact the leather seats aren’t cooling a deal breaker for anyone? How bad is leather seats in summer time? I’ve never had leather seats before

Car prices increase by the day!

Is the pallet an option or is it standard?

Good down n dirty review

Is this going to be available on the left-hand drive countries? Specifically the Philippines?

Wait a minute. This isn’t a P76 review Matt. ;)

Can the new Ranger be optioned with a heated steering wheel? Thanks

This one or 1st gen Raptor ? With low mileage? If same price.

Buy the V6 and your diesel consumption plummets. I'm getting 8.6 litres per 100 kilo. You showed nothing about the superb reversing vid, the front parking vid, the steering haptic feedback when straying from lane, the courtesy exterior lights, the horn warning when leaving the truck with your key when the engine is running, the great sound system etc. I bought and use mine in Thailand.

Why can’t we have ANYTHING nice in the USA as an auto enthusiast i HATE THIS PLACE

How much do they sell it in australia

Why is Ford taking so long to bring it to the States? The Colorado/ Canyon is already showing ads here in good ol' USA!!!

is roller shutter water proof?

I don't know man, $70,000 CAD for this review spec, while mavericks start at $31,000 CAD with similar size but way cheaper materials

I did have a look at the Wildtrack at my local dealer and they did say the front seats are heated and cooled - just fyi :)

FUEL EFFICIENT?

IVE GOT A SPORTS VERSION ON ORDER AS THE WAIT IS LESS, WHAT EXTRAS DOES THE WILDTRAK HAVE

Does it have Active Lane keeping this time with active steering? Or same old setup as the PXiii?

What's the stats for rear legroom?
