This fully kitted-out Ranger has all the latest bells and whistles from TJM, making it one of the most modified Next-Gen Ford Rangers in Australia right now!

I love how Shauno looks worried in the thumbnail like we're supposed to think it's going to be a negative review.
Its a ford ranger, im already thinking negatively
@dankadam you mean Ford Danger 😂😂😂
Its called click bait...
100% why I watched it 😂 wanted it to be disappointing hahahaha
Found On Road Dead
Rangers are by far the most underrated 4wds on the market
I was part of the Ranger, Raptor and Everest crash testing unit back in 2020 and really enjoyed learning about the capabilities and changes that came with this model. Thankfully TJM have made a decent bull bar for the next gen. At the time we used an ARB bull bar made for the model, but it didn’t sit flush with the bumper and needed to be cut to fit. Looked rank and it sat too close to the bonnet. As soon as there was any front impact even at low speeds it pinched shut against the bonnet so you couldn’t disconnect your battery if you needed in an emergency. This would have been rectified by now. There is a 40A draw on start up for the next gen which was surprising. Don’t leave car accessories on for too long a time or you might need roadside assistance. The placement of some sensors and engine computers were a prick to access and you needed to be a contortionist to reach the ones under the instrument panel.
Like all first released models there will be a few issues that will be resolved in the second and third released versions. I think it can compete with the dmax and hilux (as hilux I don’t believe have the same quality as it use to and for the price sits in the same place as it’s competitors). The ranger just needs the years of testing and reputation for quality.
Like all cars being built the ancap rating is great and I can definitely recommend this on a safety aspect being part of over 80 crashes from car to car, car to pole and roo hits at 100kph. It held its own against any competitor. If I could afford the price tag now I would purchase one but now I don’t work for ford I miss out on the ford staff discount now 😂
Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
i think the 4wd crew needs to come to america and get together with some offroaders here and hit some trails. that would be awesome to see.
Dirty 30 is on a ship right now 👌
A drink every time Shauno says "NEXT GEN" 🍺
or lets us know about the "bar work or Protection" lol
"BUT-UM!!!" 🍻🍻
I drank to when he said NEXT GEN, BAR WORK and PROTECTION...
Hope you boys kept it light on a Tuesday avo 😅
@@4WD247 should of used the words bar work, lifted, bash plates and next gen,
They would of got more smashed than the old girl sooty 😂
Love the ranger, thanks for the show down!
I love the the New Ranger and now I can’t believe how capable they are and it’s all thanks to Shauno for showing us how bloody capable the new Ranger’s are awesome Shauno
Awesome video as always 4WD 24/7.
Sweet setup. Was waiting to see some tough tracks though.
Yeah, because guys drive 200k worth of rig up waterfalls.
@@jamezxh did you bump your head? What does that mean?
@@bintox3633 think about it numb 💀.
I think the Ranger brand has really come a long way over the past ~10 years. I still think there are some minor issues to be ironed out, but most of the bad rep the model has is from older models or problems which have since been resolved with updates or revisions. I think from around the time the facelift T6 model came out (2016-2017) there has been a massive step up in reliability and quality of these vehicles and it has only improved since then. Price obviously differs from country to country, but here in South Africa the Ranger really is one of the best choices of double-cab there is at the moment. You can pick up a very good 2nd hand one for considerably cheaper than a Hilux or Dmax of similar spec and the new Ranger has gone what feels like a massive leap ahead in terms of premium features and quality of life improvements. The Wildtrak isn't a farm truck and that's not what it's built for, and I wouldn't recommend it to someone who wants a hardcore off-roader. But when I'm doing a long trip and spending 6-10 hours behind the wheel some days, I know that I would rather want to be in the comfort of the new ranger with all it's driver assist gadgets than in anything else (in this price range). Personally I will wait just a couple more years before buying one though, the model is still very new and it's bound to have some niggles that will get sorted out in a year or two after launch. Also, once they are over the hump and the waiting lists are a bit shorter Ford will likely expand the range to include models not currently available as a next gen, but are available as current gen and they will probably also do some interesting limited editions to spice the market up a bit. As for me, I would like to see the V6 diesel in the Raptor.
Sweet! The new Isuzu D-max has finally arrived! 😊
Otherwise I love you guys and I love how shauno holds the cars I learn alot and it has been helping me very day
Really nice looking ranger
Love the colour and its a nice set up too
You upload right as I have AFL training
Hooooo. Wonderful rear bar... love the under protection..
Colour matched Bull-bar and scrub bars is not only expensive than the traditionally used Black raptor paint. It lose the agressive looks, an additional way to re-coat, cuz it looks ugly when colour coated bumpers and bars rubs on the rock. Where as the on the black one it doesn't look as bad and cheaper to repair. In my humble opinion.
Agreed
Great advice mate 👌 100% agree mate!
colour coded rear bar looks good though
Did I mention it has bar work and protection about a million times 🤦🏼♂️
Just the paint job on the bar work is worth more than my whole car...
It's got a bit of gold in it we think
I have a ranger and I’m so happy with it, I don’t do super hard tracks. But maybe soon
Great clip mate. Love The Rangers ! I have a PX 1 and wouldn't change it for anything.
This looks crazy with tech where my PX 1 is more like a taxi inside ha ha !
Cheers bloke ! Hope to catch you at a Melbourne event soon 😎👌
This is excellent. The mods and accessories. Everything about it just shows fully off-road capable. And best engine choice too.
Nice review chief 👍 👍👍
Awesome ❤
Love mine 👌
I like yours to. and your channel.
@@robfowler3824 thanks mate. It’s been a fun build 👍
My 2014 Ranger had 226kms on it and the only reason it stopped is because I drowned it 3 months ago. I's happily buy one of the Next Gen (Drink time) ones especially when they look this good. Thanks for the video Shaun.
I am in love....great vehicle
Nope, hate the bar on the front. Ruins the vehicle's look. Great video Shauno!
A comparison with Graham's Dmax would be great.
This would shit all over the dmax 😂
@@kadenmackriell4751 till it shits itself
@@kadenmackriell4751 Not the new dmax lol!!
I'll take the new dmax over this for remote travel any day..... in fact I did!
Just not convinced that the reliability is there with the Ford.
Nice 4x4, but for me, the dmax was better value for money.
@@deeznadsthe real big issue ford is facing is reliability and the 10 speed trans still has issues d max has an aison 6 speed so does the hilux and triton well proven reliability. May not be the most powerful but it works
Yeah, nice one mate. That is a pretty sweet looking and working rig!
Hopefully we can see it more on the tracks!
@@4WD247 Agreed mate.
Just a pitty it's got the same engine as the notorious V6 Land Rover. I'd love to see long term tests on these vehicles.
Crank snapping at its best ☹️
@@JSH083 finance an extra crank with purchase 🤣🤣🤣
Could not have been easy for him to give praise to a ford
Planning on doing something like this to mine soon, looks awesome.
Yeww! Do you have the 4th Gen?
Love it... How many times did Shauno say "Next Gen Ranger"? Legend!
Love the vids boys keep it up
Absolutely loving the car reviews. I'm keen to see the newly released Hilux rogue.
Not until they make a platform that differs from 2015 onwards, Toyota is behind the ball on this one
Was looking forward to a new video,. instead got a 11 minute TJM/Ranger commercial
mint rig
Tjm was brave😊
Are we SURE it has bar work and protection? Haha
What a unit
My fav. Ute.! 😍
Looks amazing, what are the accessories and how much would this set you back?
“Cheap insurance” 😂
Nice set up! Are those stock wheels? What's the tire size?
The old tjm catalogue
easily the best 4wd on the market right now, that v6 ha some oomf
following on from this id love to actually see some fords on the channel, whether its a wildtrak ect or a raptor we need some blue oval love
Go and get yourself a diesel Ford Territory mate you can have the same motor 👌
@@MattBlack6 but i want a ute... o i got a ranger.
@@MattBlack6 Territory diesel is different. Smaller, less power less torque
@@MattBlack6 they haven't made a ford territory for 7 years
The paint to match body armor looks good but the cost of paint will be a lot when it gets scraped up. Otherwise it is a nice build.
Awesome setup - Shauno maybe you should convince TJM to give it away to a viewer (Please). Me please 😂
Have a shot every time Shauno says offroad
All new 4x4 is good no doubt bout that...but,the million dollar question is,how reliable its gonna be for longer period?
especially this lion v6 engine..search lion v6 LR discovery find out several issues of this v6 engine family
@@goreng0033 yup...one who knows will try to avoid at all cost
@@dolguldur4706 Should have put the Coyote v8 in it.
@@jamezxh from what i've heard...coyote engine is better fitted into cars,not pickup trucks..
Were the tyre walls inside out ? The TJM setup looks good 👍🏾 👌🏾
No you can choose to do that when you get your tyres fitted, I have done the same
"I'm going to purposely put it in a precarious situation" Welcome to 4WD 24/7
2023 leasure suit larry😅 The whole vehicle look reminds me of someone in a colour matched tracksuit 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Great sale vidoe for tjm but didnt really test it much as the old dmax goes on harder trackes and isnt as expensive and is heavier then this but i do have a next gen raptor i am currently building but these tracks would be the easy day out for where 8 want to take.
The issue I have with all new 4x4s is the electronics. I want to see some new 4x4's get wet a few times and then see how long they last.
You might be shocked by what happens.
@@ripvanrevs literally shocked right?
$$$$$ would be interesting for this "NEXT GEN" with the "TJM" gear fitted
I am not a ford fan but damn that is one good looking rig
Number 1
Would love to see a Ranger Raptor with all the mods!
Oooo so would we!
G'day, loved the video. Any chance of posting the spec's on all the gear the vehicle had. It would be great if TJM gave a list with prices and then we could work out / prioritise purchases for our new Ranger.
Lol New gens are good with all the technology until you do a water crossing. Looks good and good video man
Give it to Jocko to test. Then we'll see how it goes. But looks the goods
Came here to say exactly this. I know it's more type of tourer, but I'd love to see what it's really capable of if you push it hard. Just in case I'll be able to afford one of these 10 years from now.
Even more so, Let Jesse at it.. See if he can do the unlocked challenge with it haha.
You need to do a review on the raptor
@4WD247 Shauno, you need to do a similar Ranger Raptor test!
Great Drinking game : take a sip everytime Shauno says " Bar Work" & " BashPlates "
Best thing about ford is that they circled the problem 😂
I know it’s an old joke but yeah had to be said 😂
I must of missed it but does it have bar work and bash plates installed?
Love the car and your T-shirt! Where can i get the T-shirt mate?
Ok now I know that soot doesn't have a twisted seat belt it's Shawn twisting it😂😂
Makes him feel like he's sitting in old Soot
Why would you want colour coded bar work? After a scratch it wouldnt look very good in my opionion.
Missed the bog hole later on the track 😢
Mate bit of an over react to the forestry in the Glasshouse mountains...... man I back in the early 90's would smash a Lada Niva through there, because I lived there, on tracks which had trees to drive over.. those tracks I use to drive the kids to school in a Ford Festiva.
The tub and canopy wobble a lot when he enters the "nasty looking little bog hole"
As a Former Ford guy they don't have anymore Bloodline with Henry Ford anymore it's a storied brand but after 15 Fords I'll have to decline I've switch to Toyotas since 2017 and never looked back
👌
Wouldn't mind seeing Shauno give a Jeep Gladiator a go to see what he thinks
Now do one with a NP300 and DMAX as comparison
Let me guess without watching, it's great.
The 3.0L V6 Ranger Platinum starts at $84,000 in NZ, one model down from the raptor. Another 20k on accessories and upgrades, now you have a 100k vehicle. 😬
So when are you taking out a raptor
wow dammn
The new Toyota trucks are pretty sweet..dunno if they are bringing them to Australia
What tire size are those
Definitely missing the 4wd action days....
Glad to hear that you can turn off all the bing-bong sounds and warnings. Hate that shit!
How Dows the old ranger (PX2) compare against the new for off-road? are the old PX2s just as good? Better? Worse?
These new trucks look awesome and are filled with all sorts of good gear...But do they really have the longevity of the old school trucks from the 80/90's... Time will tell... Must admit it's a nice looking truck them new Ranger's.
No they don't have that longevity.
After owning a D-Max for six months, I sold it and bought a y61 GU patrol.
My old PK has 500k on the clock and still starts and runs like a dream.
Yep cant agree more bloody awesome rigs.
The truck looks like its sprung heavy, and rides at full top out all the time. makes it look like a booing ride and constant wheel lifts. I'd like to know what eh full front IFS travel reach measures out at.
What's the kerb weight of this fitted out rig ?
Flexes it's way aye...
What was the tyre size 33s or 35s.
Honestly how far do you reckon you could push it ie sooty/dirty 30 capable or somewhere between the D/max and the 2 or same as greaham's dmax
most likely a 32 to 33 inch tyre I would say
Shaun you should try the Nissan Navara mate and see how that's goes
You could drive a rav 4 down that track mate, would love to watch the front end explode on little red if there’s ever a remake
Interesting that TJM copy ARB in so many ways. Never owned a TJM product but I have a front and rear bullbar on my FJ from ARB and can attest to their strengths. look interesting, and colorful.
👋
Heading up the Cape last year I linked with a few good blokes on their way to Airlie Beach and they were Ford Egineers and had a wild track I think and an Everest and I have a 76 with a tune and they go really well, it was very interesting sitting down and having a few beers with them going over their thoughts and what can be adjuat or changed for the next version. We definitely pull them through some testing taking them through back roads when we didn't realise how much water was around. Seemed like a good car with heaps of power, but how long will they last
How long will they last? A lot longer than your back and kidneys if you keep driving that LC 70 series.
You can buy a new car. But you cannot buy a new back. And kidney transplants are expensive.
If the bull bar in black.. must be nicer for me
Heard these are not very dust proof, lots of dust getting in the cabin
