- This is Ford's most off-road focused pick-up before you step into the Ranger Raptor. Sure you could wait to get a Raptor or even the V6 version of the Wildtrak, but should you?

Just bought a new ranger…. Couldn’t believe 2.0 was only 0.6 sec slower than V6 over 1/4 mile
The Bi-Turbo ended up being a very reliable engine, despite being "high strung". In every respect, this is still better than anything else. The V6 is just another step above. And then there is the Raptor, which doesn't even have competition yet. Ford is on a roll💙
It's a decent line up of engines to choose from now
@@ProductReviewCars Ford would make a killin if they offered the 2.3L turbo petrol 4cyl ... not everyone wants smelly diesel.
hey man i wanna ask what are the difference between the bi-turbo and twin turbo for the wildtrak and raptor variants isnt bi-turbo basically means twin turbo?
Reliability is the one unknown in the new generation Ranger. Both the 2.0 and the V6 are very well established engines with a blemished record. Thousands of Transit owners will attest to early failures of earlier 2.0 engines due to the wet belts and fuel injectors failing. The V6 is well known for broken crankshafts in earlier installations. I have bought a new 2.0, reasonably confident that the over forty engineering changes made to the new generation will have sorted it to be world class reliable, because Ford cannot afford to further tarnish the reputation of its Transit vans which have been rapidly losing market share due to fleet failures. The V6 has a fundamental design weakness due to the shortness of its crankshaft and one can only hope that they have strengthened the material used for current crankshafts and improved the consistency of its engineering. In terms of performance, refinement and fuel economy, these engines are among the very best available, although I have to say that the current Kia 2.2 diesel is up there with the Ford 2.0.
Yeah! For experienced off-roaders only!
The Bi-Turbo is proving to be a more reliable engine than the V6 which is experiencing its fair share of uses. If it weren't for the V6, it would still sit easily at the top of the tree I'm comparison to its "competitors". For 90% of people and applications, the Bi-Turbo would be fit for purpose. Its when you are towing north of 2.5 Tonnes where the V6 would flex its advantage.
hi you talk about navara warrior and dmax xterrain but which is better ranger or warrior or dmax xterrain and why? please reply back would love to know I cant decide.
I'd say Ranger. Best overall tech and features, but I'd spend more to get the V6 diesel.
@@ProductReviewCars what about reliability though? so hard to tell which one is more reliable and who is better for warranty etc
What do you think about the lane keeping driving assist?
It does a great job honestly. One of the better lane keep assists in the Ute market.
It is not only the slowest, but the most fuel-efficient.
That is true
The 2.0 lacklustre? No! Compared to my Land Cruiser 100 with the great 4.2 turbo intercooler six, the Ranger has over 200hp and 500Nm torque all the way down to almost idle. The Toyota is double the swept volume yet has the same power at 200 but only 400Nm of torque and in my car a four speed automatic compare with Ford’s ten. The Ford also has a lower ratio first low range. The Ford runs rings around the Toyota in performance and fuel economy and even for low noise in the cab. It uses 30% less fuel doing so. On another tack the 2.0 is a far better performer than the previous Ford 3.2 five cylinder Ranger. It has more power and torque as the latest 2.8 engine fitted to the Prado and likely the just announced new Land Cruiser 250. So no way is the 2.0 bi-turbo ‘lacklustre’. To say such a thing shows a lack of experience of other similar vehicles and probably more experience of dissimilar cars and SUV’s.
Well said sir!
I think what most people forget is that its not a performance race car they are driving' its not made to go 300 kph. I think as an everyday light work horse and daily runner with the odd bit of towing the 2ltr BI turbo is very usable , maybe a shorter period between oil changes so the oils clean if your working the turbo's harder might be the only thing that i could see as being a negative but over all I think its a great little unit for the everyday joe. if you want to go full baja mode then the Raptor or TXR as per there design.
Well I mean obviously
@@ProductReviewCars Not sure which part you are saying obviously too mate sorry .
Yes absolutely. The 200hp 2.0 is way enough power for this type of vehicle even when use in 4A, the 4wd mode that allows road use in 4wd. It tows four tons easily and fast enough for all conditions. The oil change intervals for the new generation has indeed been reduced compared to previous iterations, as well as the wet belt’s rubber chemistry and engineering being improved and combined with a shorter belt change interval. Given appropriate maintenance and sympathetic driving [that does not mean babying it] these engines should last 300,000 miles or so. For those that want a six cylinder, there is one available. There is a massive and growing range of options and the demand worldwide is such that the Thai’, South African and US factories cannot keep up with demand and Ford is increasing its market share of utes everywhere. The factory is now being further stretched by producing the new generation VW Amarok on the same lines.
@@hedydd2 will be interesting to see the sale on the VW Amarok compared to the new gen fords.
Single turbo is the slowest but i think there is no single turbo for the wildtrak?
No, just the bi-turbo
Isn't the wildtrak priced at 80k now
Higher prices are for the V6TT ones
Drone crash @ 13:59?? 😅
nahhhhhhh :/
You didn’t need any of the 4WD features for those conditions.
How so?
@@Kneelb4Me87 - it was an incredibly tame test ground. No deep ruts, no steep hills and a totally un-challenging route. I could have easily toured that course in a Fiat 500.
It’s a review to show buyers the kit available, wake up to yourself hero
