And now you’ve put 6,000km on it and are selling it for $130,000
We are getting ready for our next build. The lead time on ordering this build is over 12 months.
i got the same truck l like what he is doing thank lot JD
🤣
I like very much keep it going thank
It's really good value. Considering the time and headache involved with parts and labor shortage if you were to do the exact same build.
Everyone appreciates the cost breakdown.
if you watched until the end of the video you’d know by now
Huh, they could have used a bog standard 4x4 diesel Ranger with no rear end tray/tub and built their entire custom chariot on that base vehicle including Lift, bull bar, snorkel, rear canopy etc etc. This coulda saved $30ish k of crud that was removed anyway.
last name you’re smart aren’t you
@@antoniofilippone7720 hahahaha
So you know how much you’ll never be able to spend lol
definitely appreciated the cost breakdown, as a lot of people won't give a price on each thing.
@@a04a27 do you understand English?
Good to have a bloke who ain't ashamed to give you the cost of his build. So many are in denial.
Nice ranger. Like the way you tell everyone the cost. Not many do that. On the cost, wow, but it is fully loaded.
Just buy an old Hilux, a shovel, and a blanket and you will be alright 👍
Ayrton Senna Fan Damn right!
Nah I’d rather have a Triton but the Ranger would be my ultimate.
@@andyaitken4243 I'd like this tray setup on a chopped 1hd-fte 105 cruiser with 6speed auto conversion. That would be my dream.
but how would they run the coffee machine they mentioned 34 times?
exactly. 👍🏻
Good build. I especially like knowing the cost. No one else discloses that. Great job.
Thanks! Appreciate the great comment and watching
The detailed cost breakdown somehow makes me to trust to deal with his company if I ever need
Thanks! We like to be transparent with everything we do!
@@MountainTrailRV hicat knocked it out of the park.
I aggree... something comforting about people who tell you straight they spent 66k on truck because of the heated seats.
@@jeffreyulery2182 Dude be fair - the double-cab XLT costs $58K and the Wildtrak costs $71K (now in 2022, ugh) so they only spent $13K on the heated seats.
Yep, appreciate the transparency of the cost breakdown. Great video.
I suggest you consider a wrap for both the car and canopy. It keeps the setup looking great after bush touring and keeping clean is very easy. We only wrapped the car and not the slide on camper. The difference after 5 months touring was very noticeable. Next time I will get both done. Keep up the good work!
I appreciate how transparent you are with the price and everything you do. Great work
Thanks Shaun, we appreciate you watching and the support!
@@MountainTrailRV cant wait till the rear diff shits..no new 4x4 is any cop..all for the city w/ender. garbage..
As a landscape photographer...that Wildtrak build is the stuff of wet dreams! Leave it to the Aussies to master the craft of overlanding!
Thank you for the cost breakdown, not enough videos do this 🙌🏻
I love this. I love particularly the most rugged off roader ever has an electric blankie for bediboes!
rugged off roader,???.with IFS,,your a joke,,yes.??.
I just love how the vehicle is self sustaining. Also great work for the cost breakdown.
Thanks!
Great content, love the break down of costs and what you sacrificed/added to make it fit for your purpose. That canopy and set up, wow. Straight goals there.
Any wind that thing will shake like hell, what puts me off these tents is the lack of shelter getting in and out. Having spent a few nights in a rooftop when the wind is blowing I am looking at an alternative. This great rig would be perfect towing a good camper trailer and you make them. Nice Job on the Ranger looks wonderful.
And yet the double cabin space is there to make you feel that you have plenty things to figure, amazing!!
Passion, Enthusiasm and an Eye for detail is a winning combination, not to mention Honesty!
The” like” for the breakdown, helps a lot
I'm absolutely in love with this build and vehicle. very nice job guys!! That canopy is mint !!! Cheers, Grant.
It was refreshing to see a video on this topic that had full disclosure. Thanks for sharing it.
Thanks for watching, we appreciate the great feedback
What an incredible vehicle, love the way costs broken down and vehicle weight given. Saved asking the question.
Thanks Shane, we really appreciate your view! Stay tuned we have some epic videos coming soon...
Worthy of 23mins time. Great job right thier mate
What a beautiful car and setup. I kind of guessed right that you pretty much spend another vehicle just with all the accessories. State of the art for off roading. Enjoy!
Great video and information. The fact that you plainly explained the price and how it came about was as honest as it gets. As a soon to retire and travel person, I found this information invaluable. Thank you for taking the time.
Glad it was helpful!
Good on you for truthful transparency with the financials ! nice to see something other than a 70 series Toyota designed for the third world
ARB recovery point is pooh love this build
If I could only describe how much I appreciate the cost summary at the end.... For the first time after watching hundreds of videos can I get any idea of how much things actually cost. Great Job.
Thanks Leigh, glad the cost summary was helpful!
Thankyou for the cost breakdown and parts used for a perfect build. Any work coming for extra power hauling the extra weight?
BEAUTIFUL AUSTRALIAN OUTBACK 4X4 ❤.....WELL DONE !!!!
LOVE FROM GERMANY
Amazing video. Just subscribed - looking to the other videos from your channel if this is how they are. Loved how descriptive and honest your videos are! 👍🏻
Great Work MV - Great content, transparency and always good to see Albury companies knocking it out of the park!
Much appreciated! Thanks for watching!!
the video production crew, what a great job!!
Thanks so much!
Hey mountain trail lover this video u did a great job of this Ute u covered everything from cost to step by step installation of the car great work
And on that bombshell, I hv decided on a minimalist approach! ...amazing build
lol yer esp since the stuff added to the car is worth more than the car.
Something like this is what I dream about when I close my eyes but due to cost(s) that is where it will remain. Nice build even better fantasy. Thanks for sharing!
Yay a ranger for a change. Love it.The bonus is you told us how much it cost. Not many reveal this. Will definitely be looking into this canopy set up. 👍👌
Thanks for watching! Can't recommend Hi Cat Marine enough!
Man, that HiCat canopy is gorgeous,
This is a phenomenal build and I truly appreciate the cost breakdown.
Stunning vehicle, love from Pakistan.
Owning a rig like this is my dream. I probably won't fit as many luxuries (I mean who wants a coffee machine and a toaster in the bush?), but that ARB kit, the canopy and a decent rooftop tent, all on arguably the best looking UTE currently available in the market. Maybe one day I can save up enough to build me something similar, until then I will make the best of my stock fourby going where I can with a swag and a cooler box for the weekend.
Very impressive work! It's so beautiful
WOW!!!! Thankyou for someone finally breaking down the cost on a bottom to top build on an on road 4wd. Unfortunately I'm out. My 1998 Rav 4 and a tent will have to do. Ford Ranger fit-out after I win Lotto. Thanks for the vid all the same. Loved it!
Thank you so much we really value the positive feedback and will be looking to do more build videos in the future!
Looks bloody good , we’ve got a wildtrak our selves. Thanks for informing us with the prises. The whole package is awesome mate ! 🤙🏽
Thanks Ronnie! Appreciate the feedback and watching
That’s beautiful
BLOODY AWESOME RIG !!. THE RANGER AND CARAVAN TOGETHER ARE A DREAM RIG .
I don't know why people are getting butt hurt about the cost. I really do appreciate the fact that this video was so educational and informative. I dream of one day building my own rig to tour Australia with and although the sum here is a quite a lot I think it helps people gauge the cost especially if you want to budget. Thank you for this!
Thanks for watching and appreciate the great comment!!!
You convinced me , I'm buying a ranger , a tube notcher, a metal brake and a TIG welder.
Beautiful work .👀👍👌
Looks nice, you could have added cargo bars to those flip up doors for your smaller items like the trax and the jack so you could have mounted your solar to the top of the cab!
Nice work looks cool
Can we see what the weight is full loaded to work out gvm
Also what about a wagon comparison to see the cost of setting one up as a tourer maybe a cruiser dual cab to see the cost and the gvm so people towing vans etc can understand gcm and what the vehicles actually carnt legally carry when van is hooked up.
Great work
Sick build! Kudos to everyone involved 👍🏻👏
Thanks Toby!
Great build, awesome video and appreciate the open and honest approach with costs. Can’t wait to see it in action.
Thanks for watching Jeff, we have a lot more videos planned stay tuned!
One of these days I hope I will be able to understand why people still fit chest-type fridges on heavy drop slides, in lieu of the more sensible idea of a conventional front-opening fridge. It is fixed in position and requires no heavy slide...and stuff inside is MUCH easier to access. My Silverado came with a drop down fridge slide and aluminium cage. The 60 litre Engel + slide + cage was removed and weighed-in @ 100kg. I junked the whole lot and replaced it with an upright Engel (I got a cheap 55 litre unit off Gumtree) which weighs 23kg.
I'm hoping you'll tell us how much that Ranger weighs with all that stuff on it (including passengers etc when fully loaded) and see how that compares with the GVM.
The tare weight is now 3000kg, we have a GVM upgrade to 3500kg.
Originally able to tow 3500kg, however, due to GCM of 6000kg, the most we could tow is now 2500kg. Our main priority was to make this a self-sufficient expedition vehicle and towing was not necessary.
My reasoning would be securing of items in the fridge and chest style fridges are more efficient. Upright fridges while easier to access allow the contents to move around a hell of a lot more especially on rough tracks, where as chest style you can tetris every thing in to keep stuff from moving around. The second reason is efficiency, chest style fridges use less power than uprights which is important if you are running off batteries. Chest fridges dont dump out all the cold air every time you open the door like an upright does, so no having to cool down the air again. You can fill a chest fridge to the brim which you just cant do with an upright, this means greater thermal mass which easier to keep cold once its at temperature. I am sure there are other benefits to uprights, but for me the benefits of the chest fridge out weigh the cons
@@seventytwo1001000 thanks for the explanation, was clear, concise and also rare for the internet, free of insults
Sean Pereira , no problem at all, always happy to have a constructive conversation.
seventytwo1001000 lol I totally agree. I seriously found this little back n forth very useful and insightful. I’ll stick with my chest fridge and slide...!
Very nice! Well thought out
Wow. Love it.
Thanks for the info. All top noth quality items. Cheers.
Great video and your production quality is amazing! Subscribed!
Whoa looks sick! Great work guys. Its good you are doing what you love and have plenty of cash to play with. Who needs to be a home owner when you can have this house on wheels
I love this built
Honest, love it
Awesome build! Love it
So impressive but one wouldn’t expect any less from you guys.
Wow now that's a great looking truck.
Hello @mountain trail rv, awesome rig! Everything super clean executed! What I would like to know, the LED lights with the orange mode, from which manufacturer are those 😊?
Incredible build ! Beautiful truck !
I’m from Los Angeles CA. Being that I’m a city guy, I’m not really sure what you do with this truck. But whatever it is I want in.
Well, seeing how you live in a state that is trying to implode on itself, this vehicle can scoot you right outta there no matter what kinda chaos they throw at ya. I lived in Santa Monica and Venice for many years. But I got out.
There's a ton of outdoor places to go in SoCal. Nearby too
wow for the vid , build and price! Wow!! Good job
Wow... Top notch production value here.
Thanks Nick!
Great Job! I Love this ideas 🙂
I like the orange on black with the drawers n stuff.
are you yuppie,or female.???.
35° for a fan activation temp will have your fan on quite frequently I'd say.
Nick, great build love what you have done! Have you found that the power and performance has suffered from the extra weight you have added? Have you retuned the engine or anything to do with performance?
Cheers,
Love the great team work
Thanks Enzo!
Great video, especially listing the cost. Very rare, thank you.
Thanks for watching! :)
Fantastic video! Bit bummed you didn’t go up into the tent as you promised. Looks a little small... Rest of the truck is a beast! Imagine doing these mods to a Ram Laramie 😎
Yes all of this is very nice
I have zero intentions of ever spending this much to get out 4WD camping (the missus would shoot me!) - but its a great video showing a brief glimpse of the process and I appreciate the cost breakdown. No other bastard will tell you what it costs - for a reason! LOL! Great video!
Cost breakdown was very interesting, thank you. I only miss an awning.
Thanks for listing the cost out. Nice rig!
Thanks LD! We can't wait to get out exploring with it!
Incredible 😍
all that to bring a coffeemaker, the build is awesome.
What a build
The love for coffee are true.
Brainstorming now haha thanks for price share puts it in perspective. Beautiful work Great car...subscribed 👍
Thanks for watching Faz, appreciate the sub!
@@MountainTrailRV 👍
I was so close to buying a ranger. I am outdoor guy, but I love cars. Instead of 30k-45k new ranger I bought a certified 2016 jeep wrangler for less than half the price so I can't complain that much. Still good looking truck. Glad they brought it back.
Right on! Awesome stuff!
Great truck, loved!
Awesome truck and build good job.
This is quite the build.
Impressive
Love to see a review of what looks to be a 2019 Ford F250 and your plans for it 😀👌
Stay tuned! :)
@@MountainTrailRV great looking forward to it 😀
Awesome work awesome local company, love the cost breakdown
Thanks Glenn appreciate the feedback and thanks for watching
At last someone prepared to give true costs..expensive, but nice....100% right off this years tax... few things to reduce costs. Exit James Baroud roof top, have Driftas new one. Exit most of Redarc toys ( it's camping guys, not Bondi )...can't wait for the camper expo.
Thanks Mark!
That's one sexy electrical system install
That would be amazing to have as a vet
Me: sees thumbnail... Hmm interesting.
Video: .....
Me: Ohhhhh! They're Australian!?
Nice concept well-executed beautiful machine 👍👀
thanks!!
Cool, quel beau travail. Il est super
The tare weight is now 3000kg, we have a GVM upgrade to 3500kg.
Originally able to tow 3500kg, however, due to GCM of 6000kg, the most we could tow is now 2500kg. Our main priority was to make this a media/recovery vehicle that would self-sufficient expedition ready. Towing was not a priority as our other vehicles are better suited for towing our vans.
I noticed that you purchased the 3.2l over the 2l why is this since in a previous video you choose the 2l as the better drive line?
@@trentneumann5788 so well perceived. I saw that video as well and I thought this 2.0 liter can't do that for 100.000 km without any issue. Downsizing has limits :/
Now where is the giveaway of this absolute beauty of this car? 😍😂
3 million subscribes maybe :P
@@trentneumann5788 We purchased the 3.2L before we did the comparison! We will be def looking at the 2.0L next time we purchase another Ranger
AWESOME!! from Oklahoma, USA
