Very artistic..... 😂😂 And the stew looked delicious

I saw a landcrusier with a car trailer towing a ranger. I didn't,do your own research on any vehicle.

Hi guys awesome clip, we have a recliner and upgrading to a wildtrax. Everything you mentioned is aligned to my estimate however could you advise the axle loading. I know van different but weights very similar. Thanks in advance and safe travels john

Wow alot of Buthurt commenters on here. Take a pill people and just relax. They're talking like most people do. If you want a fancy review from Just Cars or some 'independent' reviewer, feel free to do so. I like these two and their honesty and I won't be subscribing anytime soon haha

You said you got your wildtrack ranger for $76k new drive away? I was just quoted $84k drive away for the 3.0L V6 wildtrack just a few days ago.

Is this the V6 model?

You buy what can you afford and what's reliable this days with all this electronics and unproven for now on longer run no one can talk the real situation.But the biggest reason why everyone is buying bigger vehicles is there's no if is must because of the caravans they tow it's a house.Does not matter what vehicle you buy it's the thing as soon as you pass that 3 tone towing weight behind of the vehicle is not safe any more.How in the world what's at the back can be heavier than the vehicle and be no drama.Whole industry needs check out.

Luv my 2024 crusader van Only real let down was the BMPRO system ! I have the redarc 50amp charger installed by crusader. The redarc charger is NOT compatible with the BMPRO system and they don't talk to each other. (Ask BMPRO, they were zero help in trouble shooting, just said not compatible) My redarc was not wired through the BMPRO shunt so the BMPRO system had no idea that the batteries were being charged by the redarc. On the BMPRO display there is a pic of a car that should light up when you plug the car charging in, mine never lit up when car was plugged in. Basically the shunt measured everything going out but only registered the solar coming in, nothing from the car, in essence the BMPRO battery SOC was never correct.

How good was the last bit Typical couple 😂

Be better if you spoke

Great video, thanks. It looks like your Ranger also has TPMS built in. You need an adjustable tow hitch like the Hayman Reece, I also tow with the WDH and would not be without it. The WDH keeps me away from air bags and such. I love the Ranger but could never tolerate Ford again as long as I live, plus in Qld I would pay $500 or so in extra rego for two additional cyclinders. I have a newish DMax and love it, but then again I'm only towing a little over 2010 kg ATM.

If I were in the market for a new tow vehicle for something around the 2500 kg mark, I'd pick the Defender 110 or the Ineos Grenadier. Mainly because the distance from the rear wheels to the tow ball is short with both these vehicles. The shorter that distance, the less chance of the tail wagging the dog, so to speak. The dual cab utes have very long rear overhangs, so from a stability point of view, I've got my reservations. I'm sure they tow just fine if the weight distribution is set up correctly, but the physics are still there with the tow hitch distance from the rear axle. This is where short is much better than long. 😀

Looked at the wildtrak and liked it. But I've got the platinum ordered so I can have the V6.

Great video, there was once a saying when you were buying a new car and that saying was," You never buy a car built on a Friday or Monday "

But it’s a ford no thanks

Just wondering where you purchased your tow tongue the the right way up for your caravan ?

Great Vid!

Great Vid!

The Everest is a great SUV but for towing a ute with leafsprings is a better choice.

Y62 560Nm vs 600Nm Nextgen ranger, current model wildtrak when reversing you can steer the trailer using the knob.

I agree with you 100% nextgen ranger is amazing I have 2 wildtracks I pull 3.5t van without sweat also a lot of offroad driving, perfect driver assistance technology incomparable to others first 17 months young (30k km) second only a few weeks (1k km) so far both without problems. great cars comfortable powerful (torque 600Nm) and easy to drive that's why it's the most sold car in Au at the moment.😀

Hey crew, love the video. Do you guys have any plans for upgrades etc? Just looking into upgrading mine and interested on your thoughts. Thanks!

Thank you for the reviews, im at the moment looking into buying a wildtrak, looking at cost did u have any extras or is it just the wildtrack drive away. Every quote i have got is 90k plus atm. Thanks for your content

great video, focusing some important things to consider that many overlook when purchasing a tow vehicle,,,, i never realised that american ute (ohh sorry i mean truck) owners were so sensitive, ill have to watch my language around them when travelling.😂😂😂

Looks like you did your homework and made a good informed choice. Everyone has different opinions and wants. Straight physics says you really don't want the tail wagging the dog! We have a 3.5t van which we towed with a 200 series Landcruiser. We recently changed to a HD American truck and the difference is night & day. The tow vehicle now has the upper hand and controls the van not the other way around when we were towing with the Cruiser. Yes they will tow your big van but when things go bad and you have to take sudden evasive action you suddenly realise that it the heavier trailer that is in control not the tow vehicle. Keep up the great videos 👍.

You can get a new Ti Patrol for $8k more than you paid for the Ranger. I’m looking at both at the moment but the tech in the Patrol is a big downer. The V8 is a big plus though! Our van is going to be close to 3.5T which limits our options further.

How many klms have You towed with the Ranger so far, Experience will teach You that tech does not make a car safe reliable or a good towing option

Hi guys, great video. It's was very informative, I particularly enjoyed your part One video was really well done. I have a Ford Ranger v6 XLT towing 3.4 ton caravan, the Ranger pulls the caravan no trouble at all. I have also had a Lovells full suspension upgrade done to the car because of the weight of the caravan, which made a big difference really helps with towing as well. They are great cars. Keep up the good videos. Cheers Peter

Maybe you should have ditched the ford bar and got a H R tow bar and hitch

Std practice is getting weighed with everything and everyone on board as if your going away to get a true idea of what weights are

Knew someone who had same ranger and he said it towed like a dog.and high fuel consumption. Their van was a triple bunk van Got rid of the danger and got a " bow tie" vehicle and towing the van he dosent even know there is a van behind

Great video, I’m also team ranger and couldn’t be happier with mine :) quick question, can you share more about where you got the rise tow hitch? I’ve called ford but the only seem to have standard one. Did you buy it somewhere else? Keep doing this great videos

Great videos… thanks. I wish our van was so light and not 3.3T (story for another time) but even though, our V6 WT tows it like a breeze. I did notice in the downhill towing demonstration on your current video (may be footage from previous video), you still had your lane keeping assistance turned on. Some don’t realize that although it defaults to on, it can be simply turned off which is essential for towing stability and is advised in a recent ford safety update booklet. Thanks again for this series.

Good stuff guys Was the tow tounge the only change for towing? Is the suspension completely stock? I have a v6 wildtrak and its awesome but I dont have a van. Its more for family holidays / 4wding plus my daily. We might start looking at vans or camp trailers soon tho, not sure if we need to upgrade the suspension at all.

Thanks for the review guys, we are looking to buy a wildtrak v6 aswell 🍻

Infotainment indeed. Great video!

A nice comfy powerfull vehicle them but I'm not sold on that weak front suspension system that new 4x4s have , it's a front solid diff 4 me more reliable and rugged and easier to fix if it breaks out bush , but yer everyone to their own , my theory is if you carnt afford a new landcuiser buy an old second hand one that comes with the goodies and just keep the maintenance and services up you carnt go wrong 😊 always remember newer cheap is not as good as older second hand tuff propper proven 4x4s 😉 good luck and safe journeys in it 👍

Thank for the honest review

I have 170k on my 2017 Everest which is just a Ranger SUV and it's been all over Australia. Towing and not towing. No doubt these new models will be just as good if not better :)

Wow. Saved this.

Thanks I am looking for a new tow rig appreciate your vid

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.

A bit late watching this. I am interested in knowing what the max rear axle load is for the ranger and what rear axle load was measured? Do you have those figures? Good video thanks for making it. Every caravanner should get weighed but I bet a large percentage have no idea.

One more thing to take into consideration is the axle limits front and rear of your tow vehicle as you can be under your max GVM with the caravan on but because of the load on the tow ball you can exceed the rear axle limits

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 wouldnt swap my y62 for one of these

Wonderful thanks so much for that. Its certainly true that you don't know what you don't know.

A great looking caravan. I would have gone for 2shock absorbers on each side simply for the size and possibility the weight you are carrying with your water tanks and grey water tank but that’s just my opinion. I’ve seen many caravans your size with 2 shocks on each side

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!

this is very informative, thank you so much guys!
