Here is the web link for our current Ford Next Gen Diesel and we have a special ending tomorrow for the bundle deal and a new special starting on Monday for the individual items Steve: automatictransmission.com.au/select-your-vehicle/ford/ranger/ford-ranger-ra-next-gen-3-0l-v6-turbo-diesel-with-10-speed-auto/?make=Ford&model=Ranger&series=RA%20Next%20Gen%20-%203.0L%20V6%20Turbo%20Diesel%20with%2010%20Speed%20Auto
pretty sure this v6 is the ford lion diesel they been using in Landrover discovery and ford territories' for years , hope they have sorted the crankshaft and oil pressure issues if it is
Problems with the trailer brake unit in some vehicles, hand control works but some foot pedals don’t send the correct voltage to the trailer/ Caravan.Doesn’t say much for the company’s Quality Control process
Looks fantastic, but I wouldn't want a black vehicle in the middle of Australian summer!!! This vid is the best promo for the new Wildtrack that I have ever seen. The aftermarket stuff must cost a pretty penny though. I am guessing you won't get much change out of $30k over the standard Wildtrack.
Good afternoon guys, I'm South Africa, one of things we always worry about is crime you're car stolen. Manufacturer like MAN and John Deere are available to switch off engine from the HQ if the vehicle is reported stolen. In the early talks was that Ford will integrate the same technology, it that in fact true? Thanks
I don’t think there’s any chance Toyota will put the v6 in the hilux, particularly given they’re investing so much in bringing the tundra here. Much more likely to see the iforce from the Tacoma in it, which will bring it very close to the fords performance with better fuel consumption and emissions.
Hopefully they left the room for a v8 supercharged version. Where’s the manual option in all these new cars? Might be a market for you soon rod taking autos out and putting manuals in leather and manual option in a dual cab I think bt50 is the only one that does it. I don’t understand why they don’t do 6speed manual versions in all the new middle to top of the range vehicles for country people who prefer manual. Even the wagons it’s so frustrating for people who don’t want autos. I know autos have come along way but some people prefer manual. If Stuck in the bush there is no roll starting option. A lot of electrics in all the new vehicles great when it’s all working properly costly when it plays up. Keep up to good work Rod and team.
manuels are dead these days in new cars no one wants them..they were selling stuff all of them so they just dropped them and made the auto better..not advantage at all to a manuel these day n new cars
Sign of the times. "Thats a massive engine bay, they made this for many purposes". I'm thinking Coyote V8 😎. Hybrid was not my first guess but likely the more accurate one 😢
Thanks for sharing, the extra room in front of the engine could be a hangover from the long 5 cylinder? Is it constant 4x4? Saw the front driveshaft turning.
Promised myself I'd never buy a Ford again after my xr6 ute. Hopeless sound system. Sounded good, but the AM radio reception was hopeless - only Ford could stuff that up - and the bluetooth connection worked great until you started the car... Yes Ford said it "was typical for the model", and wouldn't fix it. So I'd be interested to hear if they got it right this time.
Ranger really changing the game on this one. Safety, Tech on point. I think those lights will take some getting use to. The oil pan is ridiculous. Some Executive trying to save money again while the engineer said you can't do this it is going to be used Off-road ...😡😡😡😡😡😡
Does the Alloy sump increase the oil capacity and do you recommend fitting a auxiliary cooler I have just towed our 3400 kg caravan and it returned 15.65 litres 100 .
good looking rig that is electronic power steering rack you don't want to break it as it very expensive... no auto transmission should have a plastic pan.. the engine stop at light is ok but the starter motors take a hiding because of it(normal cars 1 start for a trip, stop start vehicles do loads reducing the life of the starter)
Personally waiting for the Amarok, their model variants look a lot superior to Rangers and I'm hoping the screen display graphics are improved over the Rangers. Still, a beautiful car and beautiful to drive, I feel they shoehorned themselves into the Wildtrack being the only suitable variant, hence mammoth delays on Wildtrack V6. What did you think about the auto as a whole? I was hoping you would give your thoughts on it :) Also the V6 Diesel is a single turbo, the Raptor is a V6 Twin Turbo petrol and the other motor in the Ranger range is a 4cyl 2.0 Bi-Turbo. The vents on the side panels will either say Bi-Turbo or V6 to distinguish. Model range is XL, XLS, XLT, Sport, Wildtrack and than Raptor.
the big issue with the amarok is there is no low range at all! only high range which for street driven and driving in the snow is good.. off road forget it
The car hadn't even moved and had chimed 75,000 times. It's what I hate most about Ford. The canopy ladder needs another rung, for normal sized people. The engine is the Lion engine originally designed for east west engine bay, which is why it's so short. That front intake is perfectly designed to take a huge gulp of water the first time you hit a puddle....
Rockin rocket rod...greetings from usa....have an awesome merry christmas.....im an old school guy...id take a 1970s pickup truck over that bucket of nuts and bolts and certain to fail chinese supported technolgy any day....tomk fdny ✌🤓🤠😎
The Ranger looks the goods hopefully the V6 doesn't have that same oil pump as the 3.2. Mits certainly build a great canopy excellent attention to detail, water tank great location forward of the rear axle...Rod u would never trade up 79 for one?😁
They should have kept the manual shifter style selector. Having to find a little pissy button when you want to "drive"....WRONG Ford so wrong, paddle shifters would have been a better option. I've got a LW MK 11 focus with the buttons and hate them, I much prefer the manual shift in in my PX 1 Ranger
Having just driven at night using my Galaxy S7 as a navigation screen, I could not turn the brightness down far enough. The huge screen combined with the smaller one in front of the driver could make the car difficult at night. My GTI from 2008 has electric steering, no new technology there.
Has a lot of electronic controls, functions and devices. I'll wait to see how reliable these 'new' electronics are. Would not be surprised if these electronics are a lifetime maintenance liability.
@@delanobritz8679 Having experienced sudden electronic control failures in multiple vehicles, I can tell you these failures usually occur without warning and have on occasions been too often more costly to rectify than mechanical failures. While all newer vehicles rely more on the cheaply produced electronic controls components, this new Ranger is bristling with sensitive electronic control paraphernalia. With the more stressful driving locations and conditions a 4X4 is expected to endure in a lifetime, the new Ranger is a potential mine field of electronic controls, functions and device failures!
@@WholesaleAutomatics px1 still had hydraulic. Great fun when they snap a belt bloody heavy to steer the belt inside the elec racks is like a mini timing belt
More electronics sounds like a piece of junk when out in the outback in the pouring rain and mud sorry give me something comfortable and a bit more basic. Imagine having a electronic problem on the canning stock route what a bloody nightmare

Nice job mate! Hopefully mits let this beast out in the bushes together with shauns sooty 2.0, grahams new patrol and ruebens chopped 300!
I have gone off the Ford as I would prefer a 2 door V6 but they are not available. No replacement for displacement.
My V6 Ranger is the first in Australia to get a DPF back Manta Exhaust and it sounds mint! Very keen on your alloy sump!
Please post a video of your exhaust note and intake noise mate :)
Single turbo on the V6. The bi-turbo is on anything above the XL 2.0ltr 4 cylinder.
Single Turbo 3.0 V6 Diesel Rocket. 👌
Love your stuff my bro wish you had stuff in new Zealand chur
With all the electronics in this vehicle do you see an issue with water ie: deep water crossings

Bloody good review
Such a great channel
Thanks! I'm glad you like what we are doing with the channel.
Black won't look so flash when it gets the bush pin stripes
Yep! lol
Everything looks better with some natural pinstriping.😉
I wound people up who commented on my LR D1s pinstriping by saying a crazy ex scratched up😆
Hey Rocket, Is there a trans cooler available for the new next gen ranger? Do you have an installer in Brisbane or the Sunshine Coast area?
Yes, Rod needs the lights.
What size is that winch. That bar is only rated for a 10000 pound winch
Great run through. Those MITS canopies are impressive.
With that OEM auto trans pan, you really should have told us what you thought of it…lol
Cheers
lol the plastic pans the CRAP! lol
Does that Ranger have a GVM upgrade. If so what's it up to. Love the video guy's. And No Manual only Auto. How heavy is the Ranger from Mits.
It would at least 3100 as it’s sitting there
No gvm's have been approved for the ranger yet. Arb is the only company that has suspension for them at the moment.
Thanks for sharing, the extra room in front of the engine could be a hangover from the long 5 cylinder? Is it constant 4x4? Saw the front driveshaft turning.
I also think the extra room is a hang over from us designs and an extra 2 cylinders

Hi Rod Your thoughts on the CV joints (weak drive line?)
its the same motor as a disco4, which ran a single VNT so probably the same

Ordered the Raptor, 1 yr wait. Wildtrak has the V6 single turbo diesel. Raptor has the V6 twin turbo petrol :)
Hey mate you got anyone in Newcastle nsw area to Instal your pan and coolers?
Yes we certaily do. Ring Ashley on 03-97628004 and he will sort you out with pricing fully installed.
Can you let us know where the trans front diff and transfer case breathers are routed?
Will let you know when I get the next one in David.
ok; how much to get this into the US? the 2.3l ecoboost ain't doin it....
can you show us what tranny cooler options there are and where did you mount yours ,
Sad to see the CV joint in the rear tailshft at the very rear
Great video lads 👍.
Very Nice ute
But a bit to much tec for my liking.
Does the Alloy sump increase the oil capacity and do you recommend fitting a auxiliary cooler I have just towed our 3400 kg caravan and it returned 15.65 litres 100 .
Adds another 3 litters and a big yes for the auxiliary oil cooler.
Ford worked with ARB to design these to work with all their products.
Did Australia ever get any of these offroad beasts the US did? 1. Jeep Commanche 2. International Scout 3. Dodge Ram Charger? 4. Isuzu Vehicross
Only can recall the International Scout in very small numbers
Cheers
good looking rig
that is electronic power steering rack you don't want to break it as it very expensive...
no auto transmission should have a plastic pan..
the engine stop at light is ok but the starter motors take a hiding because of it(normal cars 1 start for a trip, stop start vehicles do loads reducing the life of the starter)
Yes I’m a little worried about the electric steering rack and I know they are doing this as a move towards Hybrid and full electric.
@@WholesaleAutomatics would not want to go out on the tracks as it would make it very hard to steer

You might want to consider after sales support. As an example, VW was amongst the 2 most complained-about brands in NSW... Cheers

No matter what car you buy now that’s new it relies on electronics
a landcrusier from the 80s is your heaven then.. dont advance past that ok
Who could aford this car not for the average 4wder absolute bull shit.
Unless you get a chinese 4wd you're in for at least $50k for a new fourby these days. What are you comparing to?
Wild track is $87k plus canopy so add another $50k with tray as a minimum
The "start stop" feature has been debunked so many times but gotta keep the woke greenies happy 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Now I'm a Toyota man through and through.... Buuuuut... I'm going to be honest if I was to buy a new Ute... Yes I'd buy the v6 ranger
