Heated seats have been around for a while and available on many cars, however, cooled seats aren’t as common, and they’re certainly underrated. Leather gets incredibly hot and uncomfortable in the hot weather, and hoping in my wife’s Santa Fe, is such a pleasure to flick on the cooled seating, so very happy to hear the Ranger now gets it, in this model at least.
@@shanea9613 They also drive on the left. The truth is that the Ford designs their vehicles across every part of the world not just AU, hence the bonnet release. A real AU designed car was the Ford Falcon, Territory, Commodore etc.
@@greyhamlogan2255 toyota is build on old technology sold for a lot longer toyota has never set the highest standards in any new advancements in vehicle technology performance or safety, that’s where unreliable comes from testing new advancements.
Recently bought the GR. I’d agree about the interior but not about the engine. Did you have it in eco mode? Makes a huge difference. In pwr mode it goes pretty quick. At the end of the day it’s a ute. If speed is your overriding requirement then you should be looking at something else.
@@rubytuesday1345 I found it laggy on the throttle, not necessarily slow. Once it got up and going it was good. Think I had it in normal mode? The salesman was doing a bit of faffing around and not really letting me focus.
Great review especially faults I can’t believe open hood handle let lone no gas or electric struts like in CaseIH Steiger 715. For price I would buy HSV SportCAT LOL.
At this price point, the running board should be retractable the front seats should have massarge as I have seen a Chinese dual cab with both features for a fraction of the cost of this ute.
Such a joke marketing kinda like buying a battle tank with leather seat feature, UTE is build to be tough and durable, if you want something Luxury why dont you buy a Mercedes
It’s about advancements in the segment, if all manufacturers did what toyota do the segment would still be killing owners in 60km/hr accidents. Toyota last to introduce inertia seatbelt, last airbags,last to coil struts,last to ABS, last for traction,now last to 2020 ancap profit over new advancements
Thanks Byron - I wouldn’t be seen in something that looks like a truck crossed with the look of the inside of a Hungarian gift shop - the other elephant in the room is the woeful Ford reliability and poor dismissive service culture but I know you’re being sponsored by Ford to promote this - I’m quite happy with my 2010 SR Hilux for $18k.- better to put this amount of money into property - Ford like Holden is only a brand a bogan could love.
Built from the cheapest components and materials Ford could find, test it in two years time when its got 100k on the clock and on its second engine and ask the same question!
No it sets new standards unlike toyota, last to 2020 ancap tests, history for toyota, last for inertia seatbelts,airbags,diff locks,ABS, traction control,IFS,coil struts,adjustable rear view mirrors,intermittent wipers,stand AC, still underpowered still unsafe still profit over benchmark standards

That's an innecesary future,just put non leather seats, and issue resolved, such futures only increase the price of the vehicle
Absolutely 💯 Best midsized trucks in the world 🌎.
If you build a premium Ute, they should off used coil springs to give it a more luxurious ride.
Agree 100% - just picked mine up and this is the one big miss by Ford on this vehicle
I appreciate that you know and referred to the XY falcon door handles 👍
Love it! Can't beat Ranger. 💯
Beautiful picture quality!
Γειά σου Πατριώτη Λεβέντη. Να σου δίνει ο Θεός Υγεία και να μας χαρίζεις όμορφα βίντεο όπως Αυτό!!🇬🇷❤️🇬🇷👌👏
Just a question. If it was designed and engineered in Australia, why is the bonnet release on the left. Was the designer European ?
What side of the road do the drive on in Thailand?

i'd buy this
Such a pity they kept the leaf springs.
Why is that a problem? Decent towing capacity reliability needs leaf springs
Are the seats as you mentioned cooled because of the special perforation or actually cooled by a designated cooling mechanism?
It's actually got a cooling mechanism.
LOL
Not quite range rover equivalent but nice comparison
That is awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯✔️
I wonder if all the problems in the previous model, were addressed to make this model reliable 🤔??
If I had one of these I wouldn’t care about the leaf springs
Good Car Ford
Its a pity they can't get them reliable ,i dont think i would take the risk.
Same. I'd love one but Ford just refuse to build a reliable car. They know how too, they choose not too.
Where as Toyota is built on reliability 😊

Hope platinum range get a better Diff!
Moron, that's a payout. Raptor mate.
Wasn't the Nissan Nava... I mean Mercedes X-Class the 1st luxury ute?
Dream car
It would look so much better in White
Well you can buy a white one if you want 🙄
Overpriced for ford buid "quality"
Main difference -- only this edition gets memory seats(!)
How does it compare with the new Hilux GR Sport?
It doesn't. It sells because it has a ford badge, any other use is dead in the water 💧
I’ve just done a test drive of the GR Sport, and found the engine pretty laggy, suspension awesome, and interior about 10 years off the pace.

@@rubytuesday1345 safety would be 1. 3 stars for that money doesn’t cut it even with the over fuelling under powered engine.

Where the hell are you getting your prices from mate, a V6 wildtrack is 83 grand in QLD, wait till the KIA pick up hits,
I'd prefer aircon cooled seat's especially in our Aussie hot summer's 🤔
Did he say hide contraband? 😂
I ordered... Arrive time 2024 January. 16.000.000.- HUF ( Netto)
What is the point of this vehicle?
It's a Beautiful Truck If i had the Cash i would buy not financing it that would be a no no😢
Rear folding armrest strap needs to pull down not out or up.
Everybody pull that strap😂
You'll get there
To much bling XLT is still the best 😎
Great review especially faults I can’t believe open hood handle let lone no gas or electric struts like in CaseIH Steiger 715. For price I would buy HSV SportCAT LOL.
$78 is not the drive away price, I wish it was.
Correct, that’s why he said it
Where is the ute?
It's still cheaper than a toyota landcruiser
In no world it makes sense having to go to passenger side to open the bonnet . Dissapointing
Yeah nah. No thanks. Save the luxury for the luxury brands.
At this price point, the running board should be retractable the front seats should have massarge as I have seen a Chinese dual cab with both features for a fraction of the cost of this ute.
It's for the BMW owner of the 2000s - because clearly the indicators don't work,
it a vw
Looks a little like a Chevy!

Ford Ranger & F150 100 thousands verskriklik baie as in Afrikaans.
Built from the cheapest components and materials Ford could find, test it in two years time when its got 100k on the clock and on its second engine and ask the same question!
Yes I totally agree and quite happy with my 2010 SR Hilux for $18k.- better to put this amount of money into property
Jus upgraded from gen1 raptor 160k on clock in 4yrs, no major issues great motor & trans, now have gen2 raptor wow what a difference love it
The most annoying review of any product or service I have ever viewed on the internet. The cameraman has my pity.
Not just the camera man.
It doesn't even come close to a Toyota SR5 Hilux. It sells simply because it has a ford badge.😊

so why are you watching a review of a Ford Ranger?

Ford ranger ....yuk.
