Ford Ranger 2017 3.2 Wildtrak (ENG) - Test Drive and Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ก.พ. 2017
- Ford Ranger is F-150’s little brother. This 2017 Ford Ranger is powered by a 3.2 litre engine making it a monster truck by European standards. Ford Ranger is currently a mid-size pick-up. Ford F-150 is a full-size pick-up. With too small a gap between them, and pick-up sales are declining, Ford Ranger is unavailable in the US (but it is coming back next year).In some markets Ford Ranger is also known as Mazda BT-50. This generation is on the market since 2011, and was given a facelift in 2015. Ford Ranger is offered either as a single cab, extended cab or a double cab. There’s either a 4-cylinder 2.2 litre diesel 130 or 160 hp, or a 3.2 litre 5-cylinder diesel producing 200 hp. Earlier models have Euro 6 engines, later examples are Euro 6 compliant, which means they have to take AdBlue.

Picked up my 3.2 last week. Reliability, fuel consumption, maneuverability... Shhhhhhh, just buy it - trust me.
How is it 3 years later?
"Pickup sales are declining, so no Ranger for you, North America."
You might want to re-think that statement, mate. Ford North America has confirmed the Ranger will be appearing stateside as early as next year.
He was talking on what historical data was telling him and trend at the time of shooting. Trends change hence the Ranger's reintroduction following a decade plus gap.
Excellent English, my Polish friend. Keep on the good work.
Love my wildtrak, nothing else comes close
How many miles per gallon does your ranger get? (you can do kilo. if you have to)
Problem is reliability. We only have Ford in our fleet, and we need pickups now, but we only heard problems regarding the Ranger. So we will most likely go Toyota Hilux. Which sucks. But what can you do?
Nice review!
Glad you enjoyed it
nice rev, good car
Lol @ roller lid is to hard, even had to call ford to find out how it works. Maybe you should start doing Tupperware reviews.😂
As always, a very good review. Ford has reconsidered and the USA will be getting the Ranger. Question: who produces the gloves you were wearing? It appears you can use the touch screen while wearing them.
These are North Face e-Tips. Too thin. Good for early autumn at best, and they soak up pretty quickly. Go for something leather. And dig though your smartphone menu. Mine has an option to work with just about any gloves. On Android go to Settings->Display->Glove mode. I'm not sure if all phones have this, but take a look.
are you normal? i own a wildtrak and its no where near as hard to open the tray and roller shutter then you show in this video, i think you just dont like the ranger
victor liu I agree I just think he doesn't like the ranger cause they are good pickups cause a friend of mine has one and they love it and it isn't as hard as that
victor liu ek soek nr waar ek parts Kan koop v ford ranger
by the way, I think he loves navara the most
Navara fan paid by Nissan
He talks about the A-Pillars being bulky and that one would have to have a "good look around on both sides if there is actually anything behind them ok".. That is what Blind-Spot detection is for.
hey guys Im really happy that ford Ranger is coming back 2 the USA! I hope this truck is gonna be made in the usa! I saw this model in the Philippines! so glad that it's gonna be in the usa!
Good, Honest, accurate review. I've had a Wildtrak for about two weeks now, really happy with the car, but I have some of the same issues as described here. That Mountaintop roll cover is a badly made piece of kit, especailly considering it cost nearly £2000! Only Other thing I hate about the vehicle is the exposed lip of the tailgate, its just going to get trashed as quickly, but you cant cover it with anything as this will stop the roll cover from closing. Overall though, probably the best pick up on the market. I tested all of them before the ranger, hilux was easily the best but it had a pathetic 2.4 engine, so the ranger takes it!
If you tug the roller top cord to the right it goes back on it’s own. No need to shove it. Also pulling back into place is very light. Not sure what you’re doing but it definitely isn’t that hard
I have this Ranger 3.2 Auto and have to say after 6 months ownership love it...Having had three previous Toyota Hilux Invincible I hated the feminine Asian look of the new Hilux so went for this and Glad i did it has proved superb...it is manly it is powerful and handles well. I tow regular a 2 ton trailer and it is effort less...I will have another in 3 years. First Ford I have owned it is not built as well as the Toyota but delivers in every other department.
Hey I just want to ask you .. how is your ranger doing ??
The feminine Asian look of the hilux 😂😂😂
i own one and i love it.
there is a hook at the front of the rear seat tucked away that clips onto the top of the back that keeps it up.
That's what I would expect, but there wasn't one.
Apologies .my model in New Zealand does figured they all would
He didn't point out all the good features
I personally have a Ford Ranger and it's much better than he says . You can tell he's a fan of his Nissan and tries to make the Ford look bad.
Well thats you. You are watching a personal review. We had 4 new Wildtraks at work, all broke down within 6 months so we decided to opt for something else and now we hate Wildtrak and prefer Izuzu. Its about experience and what suits you best.
State of the art them leaf springs for rear suspension!
this guy has no clue how true 4x4 works
Mine arrived today and I'm in love. Sadly I'm still suffering with the mountain top roller 😅 it's just overly complicated for a first timer
As always - it's a pleasure to watch your reviews! But I missed comparison to Toyota Hilux
Because I haven't driven it.
that was a pretty hefty grunt just to shut the tailgate of a midsize pickup
LOL to bad truck sales are way up, and the ranger is confirmed to be coming to the US!
It's coming back to USA in 2019 but a 2.3L Ecoboost
Feels like your anti Ranger! Comparing a manual Nissan to the Auto Ford is like comparing Apples to Oranges! I've driven both manual versions offroad and I can assure you the Nissan is like driving a toy car compared to the Ford :D
I love my wildtrak MT
wow i like this car
Thanks Marek. It would be nice to see a back to back. Did it lose out to the Amarok?
+daseteam neither is perfect.
Okay, thanks.
In Austrailia, where they are all sold, they do group comparisons.
He said its a monster as far as european standards! Try the gt500 f150!
you won my thumb up @2:05 XDDD
How can you compare a wildtrak to a navara. Ive owned a navara and they dont come close to a ranger.
Is the gear box slow and dumb?
This video was made back in 2017. Since than, truck sales groow in USA with 25%(statistic made by a period of 3 years). Best seling motor vehical in the states was the Ford F150, full stop. And because of the pandemic, car sales dropped by 56% and truck sales only by 20%(statistic made only for pandemic period). In Europe we had a growth of only 15% of trucks in the past 3 years. I love these trukcs, and I hope al the electric models come out soon, so the discusion of gas gasoling will come to an end.
Marek thanks for showing me the Ford Ranger Wildtrack 3.3 ltre. 4 WD. I live in Thailand and have just purchased one and love it in the whole. However I have a problem because the drivers manual is in Thai!! I am English and was told by the local Ford outlet that I cannot purchase and English version. I know that I can look on line but I'm old school and like to read a manual.
Have you any ideas where I can buy one please?
Hopefully you can help. I enjoy your vlogs.
Yours sincerely
Graham Martin
Online + printer is your best bet. Even if you order one from the factory, it will cost $100 or more, plus shipping.

@@MarekDrives
Dear Marek,
Thanks for your fast response but if you know where to order a hard copy it would be preferable. I love having a proper manual for things.
I know I am crazy but it's a thing that I suffer from.
Therefore if you have a phone number or email address I would be eternally grateful.
Thanks again
Graham Martin
You'd have to write to the factory.
La wildtrack es la limited?
“Pickup truck sales are declining” lol
disappointed in your opinions and thoughts on the Ranger , which i might add started right at the start of your video , I drive a new Navara , my friends all opted for the Ranger , I chose poorly like most of your opinions on the Ranger
Don't mind him. This guy seems to hate ford.
Just disappointing that some people may miss out on making the correct decision by taking this review serious , I am glad i wasn't the only one that picked up on what is clearly to my mind an attempt to disillusion people away from the Ford
side view looks like the Colorado shape.
i have it and its nice car
You forgot adding payload in your review.
The ford ranger Wildtrack is the ford ranger limited?
Top trim is called Wildtrack.
is this sync 2 or sync 3, I've ordered ranger will have it next month,
This is 2, and it's crap.
hi marek i asked garage seller its gonna be sync 3 , hope this is better
koen ie should be 3. I have a new one from last December and that's a 3. Great pick up. Love it you bits.
koen ie should read love it too bits. Ps don't know you. 😀
can't find what you trying to explane
This guy must be really weak to be struggling with the Mountain top rail, lol.
US: we want a ford ranger !! Manual and disel y'all
Ford: no
US; please
Ford: fine, sending one to North America
US: yaaaaaaay!!!
Ford: my hand slipped and it's on Mexico now
US: fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuyckkkkkkkkkkk
please do a review for ssangyong actyon!
Please, no!
Marek Drives no great Wall either hahaha
just for my curiosity, is it because both ssangyong actyon and great wall are not that popular or is it because they are bad in terms of pick up truck. I know great wall is not that good but I thought ssangyong actyon is pretty decent?
A number of reasons. GW is unavailable in Poland, so no problem there ;) SY is available, I haven't seen one on the streets in ages, and the last one I saw was a press office Tivoli. They don't seem to be selling very many. My experience with SY brand is that it's outdated KIA/Hyundai quality for new KIA/Hyundai price.
can buy a decent equipped Dodge ram with a v8 for 36k in Canada. i like the Ranger but these Mid size pickup costs are insane . would sell 10 times the amount if they priced them under 35K for a diesel.
This car how much price
It's funny you'd say that 3.2 engine is a monster by European standards. My F-150 has a 5.4 liter v8 engine. It's not even considered that big of an engine in America
What can I say? Fuel prices, emissions, taxes. In some European countries you pay higher excise duty on engines with displacement higher than 2 litres, as they are called "luxury" :)
@@MarekDrives I' m by no means bashing European rules or preferences. I just find the different ways of looking at things fascinating. Many people in America have been begging the car companies to bring back small trucks like the Chevy s-10. Bigger isn't always better for intended use.
I didn't feel you were bashing European regulations. And it's pretty much all down to regulations. In order to drive these cars with a regular car license they need to have GVM of up to 3.5 tons. So in case of this car it's probably a ton of payload. That's nothing. But if it exceeded 3.5 tons that would require the driver has a truck license, AND it would force the driver to pay truck toll on public roads. Hitch a trailer to this thing, and you're almost certainly above 3.5 tons, so it's extra toll, etc.
So owning something like an F-250 or larger in Europe would not only cost a fortune to fill, but would also be a pain in the butt to use. I suspect the driver would even need to install a tachograph, drive according to truck speed limits, etc.
@@MarekDrives wow that's a alot of regulation. We can tow a trailer with a loaded trailer weight of 10,000 pounds (4,535kg) as long as the combined weight of the tow vehicle and loaded trailer is less than 26,000 pounds (11,793kg) without the need for a CDL license.
really? grunting to put up the tailgate?
hilux or this better ?
Just got a look at the new Ford Ranger on TH-cam. I haven't seen one in the US yet and if this is all there is of it, I'll be driving my 2010 Ranger Sport for a long, long, time! I want a truck, not a computer on wheels that looks like it was designed by a congressional committee on drugs! I"ll give Ford credit, when they screw something up, they really don't mess around! If I am going to buy something this big then I'll go the extra distance and get a full sized F-150 and let Ford keep whatever this piece of crap is supposed to be! I'm a confirmed Ford man but this thing is just beyond being ridiculous!
This is the first review where it seems like the guy likes it but then just starts, favoring the Nissan instead of the ranger. I think he might just like Nissan more.
Actually I prefer Amarok, but since Ranger and Navara reviews were posted one after the other it made sense to discuss these to cars to cross-promote the videos. Neither of the two is perfect, and this is what I tried to convey.
Marek Drives Neither of the THREE is perfect! 👍😉
I've seen people driving those i' the city lol
Monster in a European standered
Damn you Stu Stu studder
Buy a Volvo or take ya gloves off and be a man and drive a ranger
What the hell is this guy doing reviewing trucks? He knows absolutely nothing
I can't really say I like the rangers new look, just seems to SUVish rather than a pickup.
But compared to other pickup its more bolder.
3.2 L is big in Europe?? This is so weird, a lot of american cars sit around 5-8 L.
Damien McCue TRUE....but they sit at the gas pumps more too.
enelgee I can agree with you on that, first hand experience 😂
I have the exact one here, and it sometimes refuses to start and also starts hunting for revs and stalling, ford don't even know what it is
ASH198225 what year did you buy it?
cốp sau xe max đã ko như ở việt nam
Ranger so much BETTER than navara
I have a ford ranger 1992 4X4 u love it,but this one in particular is ugly from the front.
🎉🎉🎉🎉
a.k.a Mazda BT50? who says that?
The ford ranger in thailand and australia will have this name (tb 50). Mazda collaborate with ford and use the same engine in their car.
I doubt you can drive all that well
Probably not.
How about the Toyota Hilux!!?
I don't know. Maybe I'll review it some time later on.
Otherwise you make very detailed and impartial car reviews. I like your sence of humour and expect new car reviews every friday. Good job. Keep hardworking
Toyota fails the moose test!!
As a regular European i don't see why I would ever buy a pick-up truck. It just seems pointless to me. But then again, who would've ever thought that everyone is buying SUVs nowadays...
In some countries it was popular due to company tax. For example in Poland at some stage you could write off full VAT on purchase of a "delivery vehicle" and all fuel, maintenance costs, as long as this "delivery vehicle" met certain criteria. First there was a fixed divider between cargo and passenger compartment, so special grill was installed in station wagons and SUVs. Next idea was to have the cargo space a certain length in relation to overall car length, and only pickups met this requirement.
Switzerland too: the tax and insurance as 'small camion'. like a transport van. And it's the right vehicul for working or pull a trailer much better than one of those glossy highway SUVs. i've got a new one in 2003 and still have it. the only thing I'm really missing is the 6th gear and a front diff lock. but its allways much better than these "synchros".
Very good review. Saw it twice and during the second time I thought the pointed out disadvantages are not so important (I would buy it as a fun car, so I don't need it with best offroad capabilities). To me it just looks better than the Navara or Amarok. Would choose manual gear box anyway. What would you say: what speed on Motorway comes with "rest comfort"/isn't tooo noisy? (By the way, 50 grand I cannot afford and is in my opinion too much for this, but if I had 60 grand I would import my dream car that is much better for only 55.000 Dollaaaar: th-cam.com/video/HSMjMf9FvH4/w-d-xo.html )
Feels agricultural 🤨 you really dnt like the Ranger
Still won't choose it over an Amarok, though.
Wth 5 cilinder?????
Did he almost puke at 1:48 ?
Sometimes I puke, when I read the comments.
Pretty sure hes biased cause he probably owns a navara :/
So he simply doesn’t know how to review a 4x4 and is probably better suited to a sedan.
Ford will make it alot cooler when it comes to the US! These europeans doing a truck review is just sad and their version of off road driving is soooo out of touch....
50k for a ranger ??? Fuck ford
A Ford Ranger is known as a Mazda BT50? 0:32
The previous generation at least.
Vincent Mothapa my thoughts too, I thought it was either the b3000 or b3500, don't remember which but it's one of those.
The Dog and Lemon guide has listed the Ranger as "unreliable" Ford are having major issues with this truck.
Stopthegreed maybe your saying the old ranger
because I have the ranger and use it as a workhorse.
2014 15 and 16 models are having the issues
It seems a decent car but it's completely unclear why Ford brand strategists decided they need to sell a rebranded Mazda Pick-Up in Europe.
Mazda is small in Europe, so it makes sense to offer a model under a brand, which offers other vans/utility vehicles.
In this case the Mazda is based on the Ford as the Ranger was designed in Australia then Mazda took the original and made the BT-50. That is why the Mazda has Ford engines and interiors.
mipmipmipmipmip It's OK such is Ford not making competitive cars for markets other than the US.
Sponsored by Nissan lol
ford laju
It’s a fucking work truck mate, not Mercedes so you have to put work in it to do shit it doesn’t just do it for you 😂
because the driver dont know how to drive
and navara put the thumps down
The ranger is the best in the range by far you sound down on the ranger before you started the review whats wrong wouldn't they let you have one #shitreview#
Wow take it you don’t like the Ranger then?Totally shit review.Mine is brilliant.
Terrible review.you talked about the Nissan more than the ranger
I dont think this guy is the right guy for the job .......
Im not sure who is in charge of Ford interior in their trucks. But they look old, plasticky and outdated still to this day
yawn, sound of crickets chirping
Ugh, it's ugly, now it looks like a damn Toyota
You had obviously made up your mind before you even started. Very poor review, unlike every other Ranger review I have seen. The Ranger is topping the Aussie market so what does that tell you. Will never watch your channel ever again.
Perhaps you haven't noticed, but this wasn't filmed Down Under.
So what? There are Rangers in Australia, South Africa, Asia, Europe etc. All getting great reviews. They are topping the market in Australia, up against the Hilux, Navara, Amaroks etc like you have over there. Is the sun over there different to the sun we have here?
What a piece of junk & Ford put more plastic parts on it like its going to makes it more reliable, lost count how many here have caught fire here, hence there nickname “flaming Rangers” as of just recently recall on gear boxes.
not the fair comparison!!!
you don't like the ranger!!!
not subscribing!!!
your the worst reviewer!!!
What would make it more fair?
Marek Drives it's just his saying his thoughts and opinions of the ranger is on the downside.
I think marek drives is just saying his own views and opinion.but honestly for me.ranger is a sexy pickup.but ford sucks in everything.here in my country,all ford vehicles are headaches! because of their poor services and after sales. that's why i choose np300!
@@yhou24I agree its his opinion,but I just think some of it was too much.
The new ford ranger is ugly!! Not like the classical 2011 look. Not really "Classical" but that slim single/extended cab look and old body was perfect. Looks and feels really comfortable for casual work. The new one like this looks like a Family cruise around town super pansy mode vehicle. Idk why but the 4 door trucks like this always make me think they're really SUV's with a small bed. Nothing in poor taste just isn't my cup of tea.
NeetNaw in my opinion I like the new ranger has a manly look!!!
NeetNaw you do realize this is the euro spec ranger?
this new ford ranger design looks like an ugly toyota shape.. dear god please redesign it
