If you enjoyed this but are more of a DETAILS person, comeback next week for PART 2 where we will do an in depth review of our experience so far! As always, thanks for watching - Lani & Vedat

I’ve towed with a Grand Jeep Cherokee, Y62 Patrol, previous V6 Amarok and now a RAM 1500. All have their pros and cons but quite simply the bigger the tow rig, the better and safer the driving experience. Glad you’re happy with the Ranger but based on the vehicles above, and what we have driven, the Patrol and RAM are better and I would place the current Ranger as an equal to the previous V6 Amarok. Oh and drop the references to male appendages cause the people that mention it are most of the time the people with the problem or not getting enough of it.

Well produced video. I've been a Mitsubishi fan for decades and owned Landcruisers but when I'm now looking at upgrading our van and tow vehicle the Ford stands head an shoulders above the rest. They've really considered the needs of towing when developing this vehicle. Happy travels.

Sorry but you tanked credibility when you started comparing vehicles to anatomy, & no , to answer your ques. i don't understand the correlation.

I have a Patrol, Ram and Ranger and they all have their merit but we cant go past the Ram as our touring tow tug

lol love it We are team Ford Ranger. We did the research when deciding on our tow vehicle and got the Nex Gen wildtrack and it tows our Zone effortlessly. Congratulations guys. 💯💯🤩🤩

Hahaha 😂that was well done 👍👏👏👏👏 I am so glad I am getting a V6 ranger platinum. Cheers 🍻 have a great week.🍷🍷

ordered a platinum ranger to tow my van love the v6

I cannot believe so many people took this seriously and got themselves in a knot about your apparent "criticism" of their precious tow vehicles. Your take on this made a fun change from the multitude of serious deadpan car reviews and comparisons out there. You seem a lovely fun couple and you have made a great choice with the new Ranger. My daughter and son in law have picked up their new Everest Sport just this week. Beautiful wheels. My wife and I tow a 2600kg van with a 2.8 Prado and we are completely happy with what we have. I wasn't in the least offended. Love your sense of humor. Well done, enjoy the car and van and whatever holiday trips you can manage with that gorgeous little boy of yours.

Who knew it tows 3.5 ton, couple of adults and kids, plus some gear - legally....

I own a silverado nothing wrong with my down stairs but I have a flat stomach so I can see it all just a thought

Great vid guys - made a whole lot of sense to me. I tow our 3T van with a 2020 Wildtrak and and it does it easy.

We love our next gen WT ranger. Tows our van like a dream and would not swap it for anything. Heaps of torque, great on fuel and comfortable to drive. Plus no issues. Great tow vehicle.

The best Ford I owned was a BF2 XR6 Turbo ute Craig Lowndes Edition… A Ford Ranger is the last thing I’d be spending money on, especially the first model produced. Engine, transmission c, oil cooler issues and an engine originally designed and used in Land Rover TD5s ..

If you have tow vehicle…that vehicle must be capable of towing the gvm weight of the vehicle its towing. Most off road caravans at gvm are more than a ranger can tow. So no, its not the ultimate

Hahaha, great video. I had a good laugh. I chose my Ford Platinum due to 6400kg GCM, better than most utes. Talking of Landcruisers, you know a standard Hyundai Santa Fe has a higher payload than the mighty standard Landcruiser 200 series GXL ? Pretty bad I reckon.

our tow car is awesome - just as yours ;) Ranger Sport V6... we love it

Hey guys. What happened to the next video? I thought it was going to be a week after this one but no new videos for a couple of months. I really enjoy your channel and looking forward to more. 😊

I like you was very impressed with the new ranger’s spec and power and torque. And went really close to parting with the money UNTIL I seen one pulling into Mitta Mitta caravan park and absolutely loved the look of ranger and van . Going over talking to the driver and letting him know how impressed I was with his rig and asking what he thought of it and had he had any issues with it ? I was shocked to learn he was on the third motor already and had less than 12k on the vehicle 🤬🤯all fixed by FORD under warranty so other than not having his vehicle for over two months he was still pretty happy about the way he was treated and the vehicle abilities. BUT it did make me reconsider my purchase until I’d done my investigation. Then some months later I found another owner in Myrtleford and asked him if he had any issues so far and once again problems after problems,so no I haven’t brought a Ranger,such a shame really because they looked so good. My big concern is what will happen when your warranty runs out or the dealers get sick of repairing them and start to try to avoid warranty claims. Please feel free to make another clip once you’ve reached 50k and elevate my concerns. ❤️🙏👁️👁️😎😇🐕‍🦺

Chunky boy commenting on other guys “appendages” when he can’t even see his own

really enjoyed watching, love your style.

Thanks guys, very entertaining. I think it really comes down to personal preference as these modern vehicles all have different features and bells and whistles. That said, you haven’t convinced me to downgrade from my 300 series to a Ranger/VW.😂

Trying to Compare a ranger to a patrol/300 is like comparing rocks to diamonds . Please refrain from speaking straight shit.

im towing a 2.3 T van around Oz with the BiTurbo but would prefer the extra torque & weight of the V6 that is good for up to 2.5T anymore than that i would be going for the wider track vehicles for stability that you mentioned

Up until 3 weeks ago our plan was a new Defender 110 P400s one of the few big 4x4s with a real payload. But stuff happens and our current tow vehicle had a problem. The bank balance at the time didn't allow for the Defender and the one we wanted was an 8 month wait. I could have saved the extra in that time... But... that didn't solve the immediate need for a new tow vehicle. The requirement's were needed to be 3500kg towing with a good payload. Had to be a 6 pot diesel or petrol (the Defender was petrol). If you put aside brand bias and just look at the numbers and price the V6 Ranger is very hard to go past. So once the Ranger was decided on I had people saying it will take a year to get one. One morning on the phone ringing around CQ dealers (Not Gladstone) I found 3 ready to go. And one on the boat that was exactly the car we wanted. A Blue V6 Wildtrak with a factory fitted canopy and Premium Pack. to that I asked for an anderson plug and the ARB 140L long range tank. The Defender idea isn't dead but the Ranger will do for now.

I have just sold my Next Gen Ranger V6 Diesel due to the tech doing my head in and the lack of room in the rear for the kids & as for the Tow/Haul mode that keeps it in a lower gear chewing the diesel I think the programming needs work Try the manual mode and you will save $$$ on fuel And as for the sledge Not nice as I purchased a Ram that has turned out to be a fantastic tow vehicle with heaps of room for the kids and no more beeping lol And the compensating comment Has hit me hard and I mean really hard The thought of having a small snake that would fit in my old Rangers tiny seat comfortable really turns me on 😊 I really do wish it did So not all Ram owners are purchasing for the reasons in your head It’s more of a necessity.

A lot rubbish you guys are talking maybe just enjoy your ford ranger other then bag out cars you obviously didn’t drive and can’t afford…. 😅

Haha awesome! Was the Everest also in consideration?

Well that backfired on you 2. A lesson in how not to produce a decent KZfaq vid. Report the facts, don't bag others when you honestly haven't driven them, or can afford them. Back to the drawing board, and take note of what people say in the comments. 🍻

You don’t know what you don’t know……I have a friend that has an American truck and his wife has the new V6 wild track ranger ,I asked him how they compare, his comment Was I forget when I get in the Ranger and I think what’s wrong with this thing, you can’t compare the two he said.

i wouldnt swap my y62 for one of these

Being a Toyota Hilux fan, I gotta say the ranger is a superior car. It ticks all the boxes. (Don’t tell my wife she was right)🤦🏾‍♂️😂

Very mature of you regarding US trucks. Poor form.

Have you ever towed with a gig American truck?

Would you be able to tell me where you got the towball tongue

What a load of rubbish. If you tow anything 3.5t and over, which many vans these days are, the Ranger can't do that. Hence why many choose an American truck. You can't just come out with a blanket statement saying the Ranger is the best option for everyone. As far as small bits of the anatomy, methinks you may know a lot about that.

There is an old adage, FORD (Found On Rubbish Dump). I will stick with my Landcruiser thanks.

1. Where are you camping? and...2. Would flipping the tongue upside down not work?

na not interested in rattley, bouncy utes thanks, i often get one as a loan car and i asked them next time not to give me one :)

Haha, I’ll stick with a proper tow vehicle thanks, can’t even take my kids in the ranger when you have 3.5T behind a ranger lol😅 GCM is inadequate

This has to be a joke. What is you rear axle rating? Can you tow a 4t van? I doubt it. The title should be the owners of these can't afford a US truck.

Stop joking around and having fun guys… you’ll upset people. Why do people take things so personally? I could just imagine how worked up they get in ‘real life’ if this kind of video gets them all butt hurt and upset. What delights they must be? More important things in life to be cranky about… cost of living, grocery prices, ridiculous mandates over a flu, taxes on their big cars, corrupt government etc. Nah, ya insulted my car and made a joke about penis size. Crazy. Just keep doing you guys… much love, peace!

Well I don’t know where to begin so I will just unsubscribe and I still love my Ram as I don’t need all the fancy stuff telling me on how to tow

Sorry guys but , I just unsubscribed … I’ll stick with my Ram …. Never bag other people’s rigs or the people that drive them , pretty disrespectful for newbies on the road
