Extremly well done Ford. Now that is the example that inspires confidence in the brand. I'ts annoying when things go wrong but all is forgiven when the manufacture looks after you. Also a big thank you to Leon for advertising such a great response from Ford, hopefully it will encourage this trend.
And thank you Leon for helping with Fords r&d. In 5 years time, when my old tjorrie packs it in, I will be ready to buy a much sorted new Ranger. I think they’re awesome!
You are blessed. FORD also came out to me when workshop dropped my Ford f250 gearbox full of oil from high lift years back .They repaired it after much debate but never for filled the other promises. So it's nice to hear service has improved. Spares are still a issue .Unavailable or on back order. You can ask any Ford F250 owner who are amongst the most loyal Ford owners ,yet the most neglected. If you plan to keep you bakkie for a extended period consider another make. I say this sadly.
What a friendly & calm reaction to a host of issues . . . sometimes when being courteous amidst such setbacks - an equally friendly response from the manufacturer & dealer is also returned. Nice one Ford SA
Adding a little merch goes a long way. Good work ford. I’m a little anxious about getting my early model Raptor as it is all very new. Thanks for the video. I hope ford Australia is as responsive. 🇦🇺 🇿🇦
Nice promotional video...ford is going to need some of those...especially when the new Hilux arrives..but respect to Ford for their honesty and customer expertise.
Thank you for the comment, Ford was accomodating as the alternative was they didnt give a crap at all.Im hoping the new Hilux raises the bar for a change as I used to drive Hiluxes.
@@LeonRandoms I met quite a few die hard Hilux owners that switch to the Ranger XLT, and a couple of months later he was driving a new Hilux, because he like the looks, and he is a Toyota man. Three months later he drove a Ranger FX4, and I ask him what now?, and he said "there is no space in the Hilux, it's to small for me. BTW he is a big man.
Today I hit 3000km on my 4-week-old New Ford Ranger, what happened to my vehicle and how did Ford Sa respond. You will be pleasantly surprised. Let me know if you think they reacted in the correct manner.
utes arent supposed to breakdown at 3000kms 😂😂😂😂 Bro i have a 2006 workmate in my fleet with 450000kms still going strong towing every day. Sorry not to lie i replaced the clutch maybe 100000kms back.
Totally agree. I bought a 2015 Ranger manual and traded it in on the 2016 Ranger auto and it was like a day and night difference. I still own it and it is a peach.
My 2019 Raptor have the same irritating rattle in the driver's safety belt column. Mentioned it to the dealership, but they were never able to fix it. Got used to it...
Volkswagen, who is renowned for excellent mechanical reliability had to have the confidents to team up with Ford to ensure they stay that "tried and trusted" brand across South Africa. Story's like this certainly helps the cause for both brands to ensure confident new car sales for the next years to come. Congratulations on both party's on the partnership. Great to see you were treated so well.
Bro what did u just say. Volkswagen reliable? My mk8 gti has been in the shop longer than ive owned it. The only reliable car in my fleet is my m3 and my cayenne. Except for the cameras always coming out. Bro hilux all the way. Your comment doesn’t even make sense.
@@baraataleb2383 If you had a bad experience, the comment would only not make sense to you. I have multiple friends and family members who own and owned VW with not the slightest problem for years.

Same here with my Ford. B-pillar rattles. Took it back. Got it fixed then a few days later started again. Nit sure if Allen Josh is really the best dealer.
@@LeonRandoms the aussie ones are rubbish. My mate drove his new raptor over my roundabout and the exhaust fell off. Ford said it was user error so they did not cover it under warranty??!!!!
Hi, I'm considering buying a ford xlt 2016-2019 model. What are the common problems and what can I look out for? I will be buying 2nd hand with a maximum km range of 0-125 000kms.
Hi thank you for the comment. The 2016 models had the 3.2L diesel, these had turbo issues and also pipes that had a chance of cracking and causing issues.The 3.2L was a good engine for me and combined with a 6 speed auto always felt grunty. 2019 the first 2l biturbo came on the market combined with a 10 speed auto.The gearbox did have teething issues in those first two years but was fixed in subsequent models and through a few software updates. Let us know on which model you finally decide.
I have the same problem with my new ford ranger. Only the rattling noise in the duch?? I still need to phone Ford to rectify the problem. Otherwise this vehicle is a great experience and lovely to drive!! Just wanted to no wat makes the rattling noise?
Hi Stephan If you get more details in regards to what it is please share with us. Yours would be the seventh ranger that has the issue that reached out to me.
The hilux nose is too pointy,if it gonna jump over a dune,it will stick into the ground😀glad to c the ranger is starting to look like american bakkie's
What a great response from Ford,I have bought more than 20 vehicles in 26 years,mosltly VW and Nissan,but have received terrible service most of the time when problems arrise,thats why Im driving a Kia now...
Hi Elyaas, thank you for sharing your comment with us. It hurts financially and otherwise when dealers/manufacturers don't provide the after-sales service we have come to expect.
Weldone Ford is finally a brand that is serious about customers. Not many big Bakkie brands do that it normally involves getting ombudsman to address them ...maybe its time to go over to the dark side, I mean oval blue side👏👏😅
Glad for you. But my friend in East London did not even receive a reply from Ford. He had to sell his 2.2 ranger, started using excessive diesel, found out it was an engine problem at 80 000km. Never treated him well. And never fixed the cause of the problem. He had to sell it and buy a Toyota d4d. Hence now very happy. Shortcuts never work. Ford engines just doesn't have it. I sometimes drive behind new Ford rangers and smoke comes out when they accelerate, but Toyota d4d does not show that. Is it the engine setup. I don't know but the fumes also stink much more on a Ford.
Disagree with you, all the Hilux's I drove behind are smoking, maybe they try to show me how fast there 2.8's are against a 2.2, and I still smoke them from robot to robot. However your brand is only as good as your dealership. (.) Point. The stank you refer to depends on the brand of fuel you put in it and the catalytic converters. B.T.W. replies from friends are 2nd hand, talk from first experience. It's like Covid we have heard about someone that have died of it, and on closer investigation the person die of influenza or a combination of underlying conditions. Second hand information.
It will be interesting to see the comparision between two diffreant brand models when they finally release locally in SA. Ford has a winner with new platform.
Factory faults are common on new generation vehicles. Ford have done extensive testing on the prototype cars but the real results come from reviews like this one. They get owners opinions and recommendations and it's this information they use to patch things here and there for the next updated rangers. As to your car getting Eurospec Diesel, the Rangers in Europe and South East Asia have Adblue and DPFs. These components need premium fuel to work best. Africa is only a Euro 2 emissions zone while the rest of the world get Euro 6 emissions compliance.
I agree Justin, great vehicle even if there are a few teething issues. A Ford dealer invited me to shoot a video review of the New Ford Everest Platinum tomorrow. I'll ask the dealer if it's possible to do a review of the 2L single turbo range at a stage.
@@LeonRandoms is there any other issues aside from teething issues with the 2.L biturbo? I am looking to purchase a Wildtrak 4x4 2.0L BiTurbo but I'm concerned about the previous issues with the engine. You think they have solved it already?
@@skid06 Hi Melchor, My previous biturbo didn't implode on me, it did however mechanically sound noisier and rougher than the new biturbo. Out of new Ranger range I would say the biturbo has proven itself as the V6 has not been seen in a Ranger package. Hope this helps.
As a consumer that is all we can ask not making any excuses they are machines good work and good service is all anyone can expect in today's world kinda special
My Ranger wildtrak Specd for New Zealand does not have the premium sound system with sub woofer. I was expecting it based on the Aussie reviews. Ford NZ took the liberty to limit the models and specs they made available here for us. Being my first new car, I was a little disappointed but it’s a great vehicle to drive nonetheless. Tows really well too. Heated seats nice but a cooling option would have been better.. I’ve also had a driveshaft replacement, a loose rattle from the turbo heat shield in the engine bay, my infotainment screen requires replacement and I’ve had numerous software updates that required the vehicle to be at the dealer. Nuisance but all good.
Hi Kiran After reading through your issues, mine sound minor. Strange that the different regions Rangers are specced so differently. I must be honest the quality of the Bang and Olufsen sound system is really good for a standard system. Strongs with your pickup. Hope it gets sorted to your satisfaction.
Ford definitely sounds better than the German dealers. I got the top line Passat bi-tdi and when there were niggles from new the attitude was I brought the cheap end of the range and should have spent more on a Touareg or something. But, these guys were surpassed by Mercedes….the mrs got her E class and that thing is riddled with issues and they honestly don’t give a damn. It’s our first Merc (and our last) and I think they know this so don’t care
Sorry for your issues, sometimes I think the dealer stands between you and the manufacturer. I used to be loyal to one specific dealer in my area.When I bought this one I reached out to them but the service was sub standard, so I changed
1997 nissan vg30 no breakdowns only servicing rattles and all no new ranger will last as long excluding the 2.5 and 3.0's that came before these new one's.
Maybe I should start a YT channel. Then my Ford dealer in PE might respond so promptly as well. Had a nice Ford once... came out of service with limp mode. Ford refused me access to worksop manager when I took it back. Last response from them was that "not in their interest to fix the car". Couldnt beleive what Im hearing. Slowly switching all my vehicles to Toyota.
Sorry about your experience Herold. More and more I believe the dealer stands in the way of our concerns and issues reaching the factory. Hopefully you're having trouble free km's now.
I bought 36 Ford’s since 2006! Up to 2011 very happy customer! Since 2012-2019 the t6 Ranger 16 timing chains broken! Not a Ford customer Anymore! Toyota👌👌👌👌👌! If you want to be really happy! Just buy a Toyota! They are awesome!🤠
We appreciate Ford SA focus on customer service, please get a team to require proof to media comments of those making breakdown statements on other Ranger reviews. This will expose malicious statements. Engage the comment maker, and if the claim is a lie, "correct" the person on that same review comment. Let the real truth come out.
Good day Barry, Thank you for the comment. Apologies for the sound quality, I have invested in a proper microphone since this video and promise you the audio quality is much better in the new videos I published since then.

I would tell them to take there shit bakkie back. There are serious electronic issues wth these vans. I have not done 300kms on mine and its in the dealership.💩💩💩
Sorry to hear about your issues with new Ranger, would you mind telling future owners of what issues you're experiencing currently?
The radio does not allow you to operate handsfree and says offline. The dash shows Alarm system Turn Off Sensors, and I can be sure the vehicle just started itself while i was in the parking bay.
Just get a Hilux next time
Laughable, Sorry. Hands out Caps and Shirts for Putting Crap out there.
Wonder how long it will be before they start running Specials on Motors, or are they Supplying it as a "Value Added Exstra"...😂😂 .
No, Sorry Mate, I don't settle for Sub-Standard, and in turn accept Caps and Shirts, almost sounds like the Current Government before Elections.
It's a good quality shirt atleast 😂
But more serious, they did their best to resolve my issues quickly. I'm hoping the other people that commented on their simila issues are also swiftly resolved in similar fashion.
Teething issues. No surprise there
Hi Sisekelo

Sell the ranger and buy a Peugeot landtrek
Just buy a Toyota. No problem.
If yo keep buying this overpriced crap ford will keep laughing at youu
Ford doesn't care about there customers that is the main reason why I wouldn't buy a Ford
