Hooning A New Ford Ranger Pickup Off-Road
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 มี.ค. 2016
- We take the new Ford Ranger Wildtrack on a serious hoon through mud, gravel and snow! Then, Alex dons a drugs suit as part of Ford’s Unlearn campaign (info below) to see how hard driving under the influence really is…what could possibly go wrong?
----
LET GO OF WHAT YOU KNOW
Ford is always experimenting, innovating and reinventing to unlock new ways of moving forwards.
They call it Unlearn, and it’s a philosophy for progression.
It is not about forgetting the past; it’s about re-imagining possibilities to make progress.
This thinking is exactly what’s needed to produce such distinctive cars like the Ford Mustang, the Ford GT and Ford Edge.

That was a good review Alex and I'm going to let you finish but mcm had the best ford ranger review of all time.
True
Mcm had the best review because...well, because they're mcm and mcm is awesome!
+TheOnlyOne ROLF KANYAYED SO HARD
+Karen Warner you know no one likes a feminist that's always complaining.
+TheOnlyOne it looks like a subaru baja
did he say it weighs 17 tons?
yeah, I'm confused as well
Hyperbole
It's ok he's British
Yeah. 17 tons, 17 thousand, 1700, thats how i understood it
+The Joker 17 tons is 34K Lbs
American subscribers... Aaaaaaaaannnd there gone
Yup
yup
Dodge 318 Cummins how do you know he's not American speaking for Americans.
*they're genius
+Sammy Kastanja
I'm a U.S. citizen and pissed that we don't get that truck here!
Why are you mocking people who build buildings?
QUOTE OF THE YEAR
"3.5 TON, what's that, 10 American children"
I know right
Fucked up comment but the way he said it with a straight face had me cracking up!
omg I just watched that part and paused it.... like did he just say that ? XD omg laughing so hard at that one
+Tadas Turonis how
+M3XICAN_SWAG
sounds like something top gear would say, i approve
Did he call American children fat when he said it can pull 3.4 tons
+Lee Proffitt no
I think so
Yes, because most are and you know it
+Lee Proffitt yeah he did lmao i laughed so hard
+Lee Proffitt He was saying American children weigh 300+ pounds on average.
4:08 "Remember, never go out without protection. Especially if you are going to take the dirt track" :D
That was hilarious 😂
" that's like ten american children "
hahaha killed it
how can you simulate drugs with a suit..
+RandomPixel And what drug is it simulating?
+HKPPK H "Evidence from the present and previous studies strongly suggests that alcohol encourages risky driving whereas THC encourages greater caution, at least in experiments." I doubt its simulating weed
+RandomPixel That is the proof that carbuilding is not the only thing Ford hasn't got a clue about !!!
*****
yeah that's really funny but it doesn't change a thing about what I said....it isn't especially a Ford problem. People pay so much for cars with 20 year old technology it is just insane! Cars like this truck are maybe worth like 12k pound ...at most !!! and even this is overpaid.
+pol1250 good logic.
"Remember, never go out without protection, especially if you gonna take the dirt track"
I wouldn't call that off roading as it appeared you were on a road the whole time
I was thinking the same thing...
Well it's something your typical sedan wouldn't go trough, and it was mostly gravel and snow
+Driftking11 yeah right ive gone thru worse in a hyundai elantra.
i'm from Calgary Alberta and I'm in BC a lot too. This isn't anywhere close to off-roading for any vehicle we drive anything anywhere
First MCM, now you guys, Ford is on a roll!
2:53 - 3:00
it doesnt get much more savage than that.
Just give us the LSD and clutch install video...
IKR!!!!!
ASAP
+oliver24x Fuck, first i thought you where talking about drugs, with all that drug suit thing...
+zygimantas92 Wait...what? He's not?
I think he's talking about the limited slip differential, but it could be drugs, sounds purposely ambiguous
Lmao "The Ranger can tow 3.5 tonnes, which is about... 10 American children?" That made my day.
What is a drug suit? And where can we get it?
I'm a massive fan of MCM but in terms of a vehicle review I personally preferred this one - thanks for the video!
"Never go out without protection, especially if your taking the dirt track"
Well, that's an interesting statement...
car throttle is great this guy is the best
Ranger plus raptor that's what we need
That's what you call off-roading?
thats on roading right
+Liquid.Song it's on a trial basically
The truck is actually worth something, so he didn't go too hard on it. Check out his videos on cheap shitboxes which go offroad
"HI, I'm Alex and I'm wearing my snowboarding clothes today for my lessons with Ford tomorrow."
Alex, we love you but that intro made me laugh.
It's so funny, MCM get this and try and be sensible with it, slow and steady. CT gets it and he's just like "lets HOON! It does a BURNOUTS!" lol
Best review so far!!!!
that suit is giving you the wrong drugs if your going slower
never let this guy review pick up trucks again
As always a great video!
This is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice one alex:)
I love all the pissed off and negative Americans in the comments 😂 Made my day
+Adam Loer Yep we love to make fun of feminists but when it turns to us most just act the same
Not pissed off just sad he could not test a REAL truck like a Tundra...
we need this truck in the US.
I already know of someone who bought one
It's coming, sort of...
novemberSUN1 yeah ford hasn't been very clear about what version is coming.
Snowing and short sleeves, you are a brave man mate!
I love Alex in this video XD
Why doesn't the USA get the Ford Ranger? It was discontinued in 2011. Why?!
+Austin Avila sounds like you're compensating there mate.
Just because this is Car Throttle doesn't mean you can't like trucks.
We are getting the ranger again
GT6SuzukaTimeTrials because the last one (2007) sucked dick
I really kind of wish we had this ranger in the states. You guys over the pond have more of a full-size truck out of it while we were stuck with a 1/4 ton.
Koshunae they won't seek in the states because everyone would make fun of them
Koshunae I hope we get small trucks again. Never liked big trucks and those things just keep getting bigger. I felt like I was driving a bus when I got behind the wheel of a newer f150.
I would like a fullsize for the towing capability but my ranger can pull most of what I want. I have an aftermarket class 3 so I could pull a small car if I wanted, but it would be struggling the whole way through.
Koshunae better drivetrain, leafs from a larger truck and strengthen the frame and you should be good. I feel like ford kept the rangers underpowered so it wouldn't bite into the f150 sales as much. Kinda funny how the 5.0 from the explorer is nearly a plug and play swap but the rangers never got the engine from the factory.
It is nearly a plug and play but there is a bit of fab that needs to be done to get it to work well. But as far as making my ranger better at towing, I could buy a fullsize anything for the price it takes to strengthen the frame put a stronger drivetrain in it. Not to mention I only have the sohc 4 cylinder.
By looking at the thumbnail of the video, the Ranger looks like one of the most happiest pickup trucks in the whole world
"Remember, never go out without protection, especially if you're going to take the Dirt Track" - That innuendo made me spit my tea out with laughter... I'm a mess.
+Harry Collin Here's a towel, now go clean yourself up!
Car throttle doesn't have even 1m subs?! Feels like they got 10m subs. The quailty of videos is just crazy.
Dāvis Kalniņš they have 1.9M subscribers
@@tdcm666 His comment was 2 years before yours 😂
you see kids when a colorado and a tacoma love eachother very much..
haha exactly
i couldnt other but think of Clarkson the entire time you reviewed it ^^
I'm a Californian, and my first car was a Ford F-150 5.0! So much fun off-roading!
It's odd hearing someone call a midsize pickup a "commercial vehicle" whereas a commercial vehicle in the United States is an F-550 or a similar 5500 truck. If you don't like trucks you're lying, take a trip to the US and drive a truck with a V-8 gas or diesel and you'll enjoy it a fuck of a lot more than an expedition with a bed that makes 200 shit power.
True
+Ryan Haywood actually the ford ranger is based off the gmc canyon as you can tell by its body
+Ryan Haywood ya it's like that for every company that makes suvs and pick up trucks ford Chevy do that
+Ryan Haywood
Haywood ya blow me?
+Adam Walters coming from someone who dailys a ford excursion 6.0 Powerstroke, i agree. i do think its pretty cool that fords got a new 5 cylinder turbo diesel though, probably push some pretty good numbers out of it with a good tune and new turbo
how is it 17 tons?????????????????????
It was a joke M8
Metric tonnes.
+WitherTux Metric tons are heavier than imperial tons.
Jokes
+Gary Cohen wait what the fuck
Even though this was obviously a weird semi-sponsored video, you guys earned a like from that dirt track joke.
Holy shit!!! thank you so much for using my song!!!
Silly brits, that's not off-roading, that's just driving on a gravel road 😂
+iGot AZombieArmy ikr it looks like the driveway to my cabin lol
+iGot AZombieArmy Shhhh. Let them have their fun.
but real talk tho how is it offroad when there still on road?
Not like he chose where to drive it seen as its a Ford press release so...
they were on the same trip as supercarsoflondon for the press reviews and they acutally went off roading and mudding
It looks like the Chevy Colorado right ?? But just a ford version
the ranger its been around for longer than the new colorado
+LUIS NAJERA the new Colorado came out 2 years ago... 2016 is fords first new attempt at the ranger.
+Adam Walters no, this generation of the ranger came out in 2012, this is just a facelift we have this truck in mexico. and its for sale in other parts of america( the actual america), europe and africa.
Just stumbled upon your channel and....I'm going to follow! Like your over all vibe!
Whoever edited this video, Well done. You did good.
We don't get those in America... and I'm very glad
Heh...oh yes we do
+Micah Bennett no we don't go to they stopped production in the early 2000's
+Evan Amado I know this, I own a 1998 Ranger. I've heard of the new model already being sold to some people in the US and if they were marketing it to the UK why would they make it left hand drive in the first place?
+Evan Amado they're bringing them back in the next 2 years
+Micah Bennett Yeah I just noticed that, and that is just good news that it is coming to the US
Wow ford is flying out a lot of youtubers to review their fords. First mcm , now car throttle XD
Ohhh shot's fired!
We need a car throttle tv show. Now. Immediately.
Jeez.... Get a Raptor.
+Ranon Ibbotson We would if they weren't $120,000 here..
$65,000 is much better value.
"Off-roading"
but is it off a concrete/tarmac road?
just went back to see this after it's been announced for 2019 in north america... but ours is a 2.3L ecoboost with a 10-speed automatic. i hope it does well.
Now with the two clutches do you have to push both clutches in at the same time? Is two clutches how you double clutch?
No, lol. It's a DCT
We don't even have ford ranger in us
Right, we only have trucks.... oh, and the Colorado
this specific one is coming to the US, how did you miss the big news?
Why can't Alex do the new top gear I would actually watch it if he did
perfect ford ad nice one CT
Your "American" accent is spot on, no joke!
Wtf was that drug suit doing? What drug was it trying to replicate and how? Looked like a load of bs personally.
could you equalise/normalise the sound throughout the vid next time plz
thats a bad ass truck
I love your impersonation of me as a builder lol
Ill have you know I have very nice hands. The hands of a surgeon haha
wtf those numbers are kinda disappointing? i mean, like 370 Nm torque in a 3,2 Diesel?
It has 470 Nm
370lbft. That's nearly 500nm
It's actually 470 Nm. Which I reckon is a little bit low too, but unlike a LR Discovery 4 which makes close to 600 Nm from its 3 litre V6, the Ranger has a more even spread of torque across its rev range. For a vehicle that'll be hauling and towing regularly I reckon 470 Nm is a good number for reliability and performance.
exactly 470nm and 200hp.. volvo did 500+ nm and 200hp from 2.4 TDI since 2010
Jirka Cvrcek I have a friend who loves volvos and even he will admit that they have problems with the turbos and intercoolers after a while. Too much stress. This 3.2L V6 in the Ranger will be bullet proof by comparison since its down-tuned deliberately for reliability.
Why does he keep making reference to american drivers? This is an european truck and it is not available in America..
ford is a goddamn american
Now it is 🤗🤗
I love how I’m an American and I’m 16 and have had my license for 4 months and have driven 5 different trucks in that time and he is just driving his first one in this video
RAPTOR JESUS - Well he did say they arent common in the UK
Excellent review made me laugh at all the appropriate jokes.
fuck you
Found the butt hurt American!
JasonRodriguezGAMINGandMORE Not you. David.
Its not even available in America, why is he using an 'American' accent?
+HobosGoneWild cuz Americans love their trucks
Because Ford is American?
Because Ford is American and the Ranger is returning in 2019, so is the Bronco in 2020.
Thats not real off-roading. a Subaru can do those paths and jumps just as good plus they are cheaper and cooler.
+Zonda Man It's not real off-roading but it is still technically off the road.
Subarus are not as cool as trucks you puss.
Cory R Calm down mate, that's just his opinion.
+Zonda Man a subaru would have snapped its stock suspension on that bump
OriginaLz yeah
One million Subs!!
10 American children... hahaha you cracked me up Alex 👍👍
"10 American children."
ALEX, YOOOUUUU LITTLEEEEEEE - just kidding some people here are pretty obese. When I was a kid I was pretty, um, fat, but as I grew up lots of said weight transferred into height. Now I'm only about 20 pounds above average for my age (26). I am 6' 1.5" though.
Too bad America won't get this truck
What?
+Toastable Pie Ford hasn't announced the ranger here in the US
+Sr.Sanhco Yep it's not big enough. Everything has to be oversized in the US.
+Sr.Sanhco They are bringing back the Ranger to USA and Mexico.
Im PUMPED!
so HAY. jaajja
+Rene Flores just mexico
I enjoyed the burnouts on loose ground portion the most.
At 1:46 when he does that impression!😂😂
Did you just say that people buy fords for reliability?
+Marloon This review was filled with many jokes. You have found one of them
Marloon I've found that for the most part ford trucks are reliable same with chevy and dodge
The irony is that this "American" truck isn't even available in the US :p
why?
Martin Larin he kept making jokes about this truck being American and Ford only sells the ranger in Australia, the middle east and some parts of asia I think
+Nour Nachabe It's made by aussies
+Nour Nachabe why did ford decide to do it that way? pickup trucks are a part of the american culture... i think...
+Martin Larin the ranger is considered to be a mid sized truck and american buyers mostly desire full sized trucks like the F150
Ciao! Did you enjoy Italy? ahahah gr8 video man!
Stop making American jokes, when this UTE is australian!
No it's not Australian, it's nowhere near Aussie. It's American branded and built in Thailand.
+Chrisco_96 Third-generation models, as produced since 2011, were designed and engineered by Ford Australia, with Mazda offering a derivative version of the Ford as the second generation BT-50. The Ford Ranger is also the basis for the Ford Everest SUV and therefore, the Ranger and the Everest share a number of features. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Ranger
Chrisco_96 it's designed in Australia
my neighbors prius can do a fucking burnout in the snow too
Savage🔥
Please tell me they aren't going with the quad cab layout as standard for the new Ranger...
the most douchey drivers in my area drive pick ups:P
It's still not a true truck by American standards
What and your gmc is a true truck
Why was it left hand drive if they are only available outside the US?
You would have to import it from England if you want it that bad
is ford contact CT the same way MCM? i seen too many ranger nowadays..
that truck looks like shhhit! I love the older rangers this just looks too feminine and cheap.
I did not like this review/video at all.
+Audiwan Kenobi nothing to learn from it. what can a dude driving a pickup for the first time ever in his life possibly have to say about it in a review? he has no parameters other than his damn fiesta.
How do I adjust the headlights on the new Ford Ranger?
where did you even recorded this video
the location is amazing
totaly great
This was a “suggested” video for me. Not sure if Alex is aware of what we actually do in the USA? After watching a few of his videos, poking at the dash, informing us our kids are overweight, incorrect weight and capacity figures.
I’m beginning to think the pool of automotive video journalists needs a bit of chlorine added. There is certainly enough misleading information out there, Alex just piles it on. Am I alone with my opinion?
You're not alone, Alex doesn't know jack shit about pickups
Hate to burst your bubble "mate" but you still haven't driven a pickup truck...
how is that not a pick up truck?
+Aaron Lopez yes it's truck, but it's not a truck truck. F-150 1500's etc. are actual trucks the ranger is just a explorer with a bed. I would know I have a sport trac it's a large suv with a bed. That thing can't haul anything worth hauling.
+HyperDriveHD a 'truck truck' as you say is a whole diffrent ball game dude a truck is like a chevy kodiak or gmc top kick, the F-150, Silverado, Ram and so on are Full size PICKUP trucks and if the ranger would come back to the US it would give the colorado frontier and the rest a healthy competition
+Aaron Lopez you're totally right about it competing with the Colorado I don't know why they got rid of ranger or the sport trac. It was a good truck to have where you could take the family out and put some stuff in the back and get better mpg. But it's simply not a commercial truck. It might be able to haul 3.5 tons etc. but I highly doubt it can do that on a day to day grind without struggling... a lot. The guy that I bought my car off of his 2010 ranger couldn't haul the 2200-2300 pound rx7 without struggling
+HyperDriveHD Im originally from mexico and i see these trucks take a beating all the time back in my hometown, mexico's petrol prices are through the roof that why trucks like this are around with smaller engines the ones that cant take a beating like the rangers, Np300, hilux and tacoma(Toyota mexico sells both hilux and tacoma) is the 4 cil s10
What's with the sail panel thing behind the cab?
mighty car mods were asked to do a review on this too. ford must be going big on TH-cam
Why make American jokes about what is probably the least American Ford truck ever built? They don't even sell it in the US (unfortunately). It might make sense if you were driving an F150, but not this. Please don't try to be Clarkson, it isn't working. That American accent needs a lot of work...
+MAEguy his "how hard can it be" is just stealing from top gear xD
Yeah because if a car reviewer wants to take the piss out of Americans then they're automatically trying to be like Clarkson. Let's completely disregard the fact that a lot of non Americans just generally like to poke fun at Americans because... Well, [they're] a laughing stock.
Shona No, the two aren't necessarily related. Even if he didn't even mention America, it would still seem liking he was copying Clarkson's style, and he can't pull it off.
MAEguy A lot of them are like that, Clarkson is only seen as the forefather of this style because he's the most known. That doesn't make it his style, it's just the way British people are. They're very sarcastic, they like to exaggerate the statistics to an extent and they like to be edgy/make borderline offensive jokes or comments.
Shona It's not that. There are plenty of other British reviews out there to watch and none of them have this problem. Richard and James are funny too, but they have their own style. Fifth Gear does excellent and fairly entertaining reviews too in a completely different way. Chris Harris is just as sarcastic and opinionated as Clarkson, but yet he still makes it his own. Even Carfection (terrible name, great videos) pulls off quintessentially British car reviews that rival the best of them. They don't have to overly embellish anything, but they're still funny and at least they're also informative. None of these other British reviewers are half as annoying as this. The problem is that he tries too hard. His "humor" comes off labored and unoriginal. At that point it stops being funny and starts being annoying. But 12 year old Car Throttle fans love it, so they just keep putting him in videos and having him act even more ridiculous. At the risk of sounding like a hipster I'll say Car Throttle was better before it was cool. It's not without merit now, but the "funny" videos usually aren't and the comment section is often full of crap.
mcm did it better.
I've never wanted a truck in my life, much less a ford. But this has made me want to buy one instead of my small VW
The first pickup... You were Leute living under a rock
I don't like this guy.
why because he drives an amazing mazda mx5?
+Tobiepigeon Skateboarding I live in the US and I drive an MX5 and yeah it's pretty amazing. I think the review is pretty funny and probably very insightful for many Americans since some of what he says is true!
Just here for the cars
