With all respect, whatever you said was just pure BS! now that this vehicle is out, I can say for sure that none of the reviewers lied about it - it's a very nice and capable ute! and just fyi, the outgoing Ford Ranger is always been in the top 2 best seller ute/trucks in Asutralia - it has always been a nice vehicle!
Is this a car review? Or just an attempt at negative publicity? Best selling car in Australia. You compare it to a completely different class of car which is pointless. You say it has no power? 184kw 600nm is no power?The car literally has the same engine (detuned because the Ranger weighs a lot less) as the f150 haha. This is stupid.
The vehicle shuts off automatically to save fuel. If you don't want it to, just keep your foot lightly on the brakes when stopped, or push the auto on/off switch when you get it (looks like a letter "A" with a circular arc around it). It's not dangerous; it's doing exactly what it is designed to do. The seats aren't cramped; they're normal sized. This is not a full-sized truck, so it's not going to be F-150 sized. You can't complain it costs more than a medium sized pickup, but then complain it's not as big as a full-sized; you can't have it both ways. For windshields? Never heard of that happening in Australia. Ever. And the previous generation had been around since 2011. A quick google suggested the aforementioned issue was only in the US. Maybe it's how you guys assemble cars. The Thailand factory didn't seem to produce the same problem... Yes; everyone would like the F-150 better, but they don't all buy it because some things are outside their price point. That's just how it is sometimes. I'd like a Ferrari, but that's not going to happen. Ask many people if they want a Ferrari too. Horses for courses... Either you're stupid or complicit in pushing a hit-piece, but there's a plethora of information out there saying the Next Gen Rangers will come with the 2.3L Ecoboost, and the Ranger Raptor will get the 3.0L V6 Ecoboost. You American's and your thirst for "gasoline" are taken care of; calm down. Yes; the F-150 has biggest engines, but it's also a bigger vehicle. Surprise, surprise; the Ranger is smaller internally, and externally, than the bigger vehicle. Stop the presses! A Ranger will still do plenty for what you need. For some, it will do everything they need. For others; it won't. If a vehicle can't do what you need it to do; don't buy it. People who need the space will take this into account. This entire video could have been replicated between F-150 and F-250, or F-250 and F-350, etc. With each step up, each model gets bigger, and can take more stuff in the bed. Write this exact same story between Maverick and Ranger, and you'll determine Ranger to be the winner, and Maverick to be not worth it. Do Car Central just hate Ranger? This is clearly full of bias. Australia doesn't produce cars. We haven't for 5 years. We've never produced Ranger here anyway, so we never "stopped production due to faulty fuel injectors". Again; either incompetent, or deliberately lying. They did temporarily stop sales of the BiTurbo back in 2018, but they didn't stop producing anything, because they don't make anything. Not sure about the gearbox. Gearboxes have long been the Achilles Heel of Fords. There's no shortages of stories, posts, affidavits, etc, regarding Fords going into "limp home" mode when the transmission overheats, or lawsuits over dodgy transmissions (believe that one though was Fiesta's/Focus's/Mondeo's). Ford have made changes to the Next Gen gearbox and engines though, and they now only come in automatic, and have features to help prevent abuse leading to decreased longevity. A recent test of the new V6 diesel Ranger against a V6 diesel VW Amarok (a model that is 6 years old), showed the VW was still faster in a drag race because the Fords' computer intervened in low gears, reducing torque output from maximum, likely to prevent excessive wear or strain on components. That's a good thing. The Next Gen Ranger lineup has far outstripped Ford's supplier abilities here in Australia. Some buyers are seeing wait times in excess of 12 months for their new Ranger. Typically these limitations are for orders optioned with Premium parts (Matrix LED headlights, 360 cameras, tow packs, Bang & Olufson stereo, etc). Customers who want to drop that sort of stuff are able to get vehicles in weeks. 2 months ago - despite not even having officially gone on sale yet - Ford Australia had over 6 months worth of Rangers on pre-order. That's likely gone up since it went on sale, and that doesn't include fleet buyers who will have placed orders through fleet websites after it went on sale. Next Gen Ranger could be about to become Australia's #1 selling vehicle in 2023, so that's a pretty solid reaffirment of the vehicle's credentials; a vehicle can't be #1 if it's rubbish. I'd be surprised if the US didn't really take to the Next Gen Ranger either.
I wish we had the diesel versions in the U.S. I was also sad to see no Manual option. Something similar to the broncos 7 speed manual would be nice. Also a vehicle I’d love to see the diesel in. 20 years in the service saw the world. Came home and could get a manual or diesel anything really. Holding onto my ‘17 6
@@nsatoday I have the 3.2L diesel version as in UK. Next year will be the first time we can get this on gas, but diesel versions will still be available
I believe that you can disable (set to save last state selected by driver) the auto start/stop with forscan. For the most part I understand and agree with what you are saying. In the US the price difference between the Ranger and F150 is not that much so the F150 generally wins out unless you specifically want the Ranger. Trim levels have a lot larger impact on price than the actual truck model. When I was ordering I was looking at the F350 and F450 and paid the extra 2.5% for the F450. This was less than the difference between the Lariat and the King Ranch on either truck.
It is called "Stop and Start". It has been fitted on most vehicles for nearly 15 years to comply with pollution regulation but I feel like the guy who made this video is a bit of a caveman. "The engine stopped, this is witchery!!! Must be a shit car" he said.
I just bought a 2023 Ranger and so far it has been amazing. No issues regarding engine, windows or size. I am currently using it for commuting and for transporting two or three enduro bikes from home to the jungle and back.
Give it time the piece of shit will start falling apart in no time, but don’t worry your not only potato who bought there is thousands of others that wanted to look cool in driving an overpriced dog turd as well 😂
@@tacuazinful The 2.0L diesel. I haven't had any issues with the transmission. It responses as expected and I weekly carry two enduro bikes plus gear. It performs perfectly.
As an owner of a 2019 model in the USA the only thing I agree with is the rear seats being cramped. How can you compare it to a 150? Not even close to the same pickup. There’s a reason and purpose for both vehicles.
In Australia the 2023 ranger V6 is $65000 and the V6 F150 will be $150000. Is it half as good? I say no- it's right up the F trucks arse in every test and Aussie car parks are half the size as the US so you can't park the bloody things anywhere without sticking out an pissing off everyone.
@@redroo12 In the US it is an $8,000 difference between the Ranger and the F150. Due to the number of F150s vs Rangers built it is easier to get the F150 at a discount. Parking is also not an issue for an F150. The F350/450 duallies are not even that bad to park most places.
The new Ranger is already here, the information in this video is purely inaccurate unless you're looking at it from a USA point of view. That model is an overseas model. It has the new V6 diesel engine and everything from the ground up is all new. The model you're talking about is probably the older model the USA got in 2019. Re-upload a new video with accurate facts. The model you're showing in that video has already surpassed 20000 pre-orders, the most orders ever seen on any Ford model hands down.
Even here in the US...I call "false" on this video. You STILL can't get a new Ranger without waiting for your ordered one to come in. Their extremely popular here too.
Owner of a 2021 Ranger 2wd and love it. I'm tired of hearing about these shitty reviews from people that don't even have the vehicles they're complaining about....
I have a 2020 Ranger, US spec. It’s been a great little truck so far with zero regrets. You are correct that it doesn’t have the best rear seat in the market, but since it’s mostly just me and sometimes my wife as well rear seat didn’t matter. I ordered mine as a Super Cab with the longer bed anyway. Come back when you actually have facts and are not just trying a smear campaign.
And "omg the windshield pops off on impact did they even safety test these things" you got way more issues to worry about when in an accident than a possible weak windshield...lol this guy
Agree I have a 2020 ranger u.s. model and have 17,000 miles on it . Really like my ranger no complaints. How this guy goes off on comparison with a f150 is like apples and oranges 🤣.
I’m a Toyota guy, but I gotta say that this video is nuts. Why don’t you just compare an escape to a Range Rover. Cause that’s what you’re doing comparing the ranger to an f150. Hopefully people who are looking at a ranger and don’t know much about cars will read the comments after watching this video, cause that’s where you’ll get proper information.
Owner of a 2022 Ranger Lariat FX4, absolutely love it !! Spoken with a few owners over the last year, haven't heard any complaints from anyone of them. Weird, no recalls either.... #StaySalty
there was 1 RECALL FOR THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE the 2022 RANGER FX4 CREW CAB, They did what they needed(ford dealer) to do, end of story. The FORD RANGER is a GOOD TRUCK.
I have a 2022 ranger tremor love it it is smaller than the 2019 f 250 but what do you expect for a small truck it can pull more and pay load more than some Chevy and dodge half ton trucks
First, this Car Central channel is a SHAM!!! He is using Jeremy Clarkson's picture where Jeremy has absolutely nothing to do w/ this channel. This channel also used the video of AutoDeal based in the Philippines. I know the guy and he never said anything negative about your subject vehicle. With your style, it's not impossible to say that you are paid by other companies to do this content to destroy the image of Ford.
2:30 - Stop/start has been around for years 3:30 - Recalls unfortunately happen with all vehicles, as long as Ford address the issue correctly that's what matters
I call Bullshit with a capital B. My 2022 Ranger FX4 Lariat, built in Michigan, USA, is the best truck, actually the best vehicle, that I've ever owned, in my 52 years of owning many trucks and cars. I guess haters gonna hate?
Is this some kind of joke? The only thing that disappoints me about the 2022 Ranger is the lack of a manual transmission and a standard cab version (no rear seat or automatic glitch to worry about then.)
Hello everyone, I bought a Ford Ranger wildtrak year 2022, absolutely perfect, no problems so far. In a few years I will see if all these problems will actually arrive as described in the video. Here in Europe there are many Ford Rangers, but I have never heard of such serious problems. Best regards
Fake news! This guy doesn’t know what he is talking about. CLICK BAIT. It’s the 2024 for the new generation and the 2023 is available NOW. USD pricing hasn’t been announced.
Very poor review. The Ford is actually a very good truck. I drive a 2022 bi turbo model. Upgraded from a 2017 3.2 XLT and never had any issues with both.
You realize the mid size market exists for a reason right? The f150 is bigger so that means it's better. What??? Some people want a smaller truck. It's also the reason the ranger has less power than the f150. It's smaller, and lighter.
Yes The F150 sell good, partly because of the GM/Ford co designed transmission and rear end. Literally not much difference between F150 transmission parts and a GM.
Gonna have to disagree with you mate, my friend's a mechanic and he told me to stay away from them. Brand new they're ok, but after a few years alot of things will go wrong. He makes a good living fixing them up.
Biggest load of bs I have ever listened to. Owned a Ranger now for 6 years and done thousands of kilometres towing a 3 ton caravan in remote areas of Australia. Aside from a split turbo hose on the last trip, it has been absolutely faultless. I find the vehicle very comfortable for long distance travel and I have ridden comfortably in the rear seat on occasion. I am 6' and 94 kgs so not exactly small. No it isn't the size of a F150 but neither are most of our carparks here. Even a Ranger can be a challenge in some of them. Given the sterling service my Ranger has given me I am planning on purchasing the new V6 model in the future. No other mid range truck comes close.
Sounds like someone is trying to destroy the ranger sells. Everything I've heard about the ranger has been great. Must be sponsored by Toyota. It's a small truck of course the f150 has more room.
i don't know what kind of Ranger you guys build over there in the US but here in Australia it is very successful reliable best selling truck in Australia that is build in Thailand but designed and engineered in Australia...
I feel you, unfortunately there's a reason the resale values are so low. Me and my friends have suffered from Ford ownership before, one's a mechanic that told me to stay away from them. He makes a good living fixing them though.
we have been using 2023 ranger for 2 weeks now, and its 1000km yesterday so far we have no issue with the engine, but we have issue on finding accessories like bedliner.. ill update later if we encounter something..
My ranger didn't even come with start stop and im glad it didn't because it's a ridiculous option and I'm sure it can only strain the starter? Love my ranger too
The new ranger is causing people to say "R.I.P to other utes", it is probably the best ute Australia has seen and you obviously come with reasons to make it look bad. It is an excellent all round car and you can simply change the "apparent" bad things. There will always be a bad "thing" about a car and when people figure that out they usually fix it, so it wouldnt be any different to any other car because nothing is perfect apparently these days. Don't try highlight it just because YOU may not like that feature because other people may like that feature.
Hilux is still the best Ute in Australia. It's has sold the most units for the passed 6 year. I bought a new Hilux in Feb and love mine Ute and wouldn't buy anything else. Hilux is the best Ute Australia has, not the Ranger.
I've owned 3 different rangers (kept upgrading) the last 6 years and I WILL be buying the latest v6 Ford ranger they're a great tough ute never had any issues and I just took the v6 deisel for a test drive yesterday and it does Not disappoint 👍 money well spent so far
Wow Can't see how any of this is even remotely correct! Surprised this hasn't been taken down by a court order... if it wasn't so slanderous it would be hilarious 🤣
I owned six rangers the last 20 years and some other vehicles between and one f 150 raptor first gen. now i´m a proud owner of the new ranger raptor. this thing is so far ahead above all pick up trucks i´ve ever driven before. the only thing i miss is the sound of the 6.2 v8. but more important for me is the quality of the interieur. and that thing is a giantic jump forwards.
I have a 2019 Ford Ranger 4X4 XLT It is a great truck! It goes 0-100 in 8 seconds. You can't beat that. It had 19,000 miles. I bought it new in 2020 My warranty is up in 23!
Chevy fan here. I don't think we have nay problems with this truck. Hell, I'm probably buying the ranger raptor instead of the zr2 colorado after seeing the reveal of the colorado yesterday. This might be a toyota sponsored video because they know this is going to bite into their sales.
The auto start stop is not a safety hazard lol. It's a programmed feature, it shuts off at a light and as soon as your foot leaves the brake it restarts on its own and by the time you hit the gas it is going. This feature can also be turned off by pushing a button inside the cab. I've never heard of the windshield thing, and i own a 2019 ranger. It also has a 2.3 Liter Ecoboost, not a 2.0 Liter. Did you guys do any actual research at all before putting a video out?
The best designed truck on the market , it will be years before the competition catches up to it here in Australia beutiful silky smooth v6 diesel's and gas engines , the whole vehicle oozes quality .
If you read up on the new ranger you wil find out they have got a lot of issues and there haveing trouble fixing these problems ,there's been lot replaced ,and that is not good ,they ar getting the lemon tag .
@@vangard3415 There is not a single article in the world produced by mankind that does not have teething problems until the bugs are ironed out, the best way to iron out the bugs is get it on the market, and as they pop up, deal with it and then correct the problem on the production line.
@@vangard3415 I used to have people like yourself say exactly the same thing on line about Falcons, I've owned 3 and have a good good run for 20 years and love FGX the last car I'll ever own.
Clearly a Ford hater made this video. Full of nonsense talk. The Ford Ranger old and new are great vehicles and I don’t know anyone who is unhappy with their ranger.
What a load of shit very poor review. The older rangers have there problems but most people that review, review quite well and I've driven the new v6 diesel wild track and it has plenty of power
I can not comment on the new Ranger but I have a 2000 Ranger 4x4 super cab and it has no rust and still runs and looks like new. It has been a very good trouble free truck for 22 years. I'm sure it will last for many more years.
I’m retired and living in the Philippines and I am picking up my 2023 ford ranger sport 4x2 in about a week or two. It’s already at the dealership and I’ve sat in it and being a 5’10” 210lbs American I was more than comfortable in the front seats and the back seat with the front seats left in the position I had them in when I sat up front. I am also benefiting from the fact that I got the trim level just above the XLT so full leather and keyless entry with push button start and my OTD price is only $26k USD.
I have to disagree with this vid, the thai model does not come with a diesel v6 but the speed and comfort it has given is amazing, put it like this, there's no other truck in the thai market with all the features, tech and power as the Ford ranger at the moment. I've test driven both the wildtrack and raptor here both are amazing to drive and offer relative comfort for my 6'4 ft frame, it's still a little cramp in the back but I am still comfortable compared to the previous generation of the ford.
The reviewers didn’t lie about anything. You have clearly done this video not knowing anything about it, and definitely haven’t driven one. It offers plenty of luxury ( that you would not expect in a ute in its class), it drives extremely well etc. It’s always been a success here in Australia but there is currently around an 18 month wait for the V6 version. I had to wait 12 months for my V6 Wildtrak and I love it. If it was as bad as you say I would’ve sold mine already. Not only have I not sold it it is my daily. I drive it more then any of my other cars.
Do not fret Ford Ranger buyers.... it's a hit piece. So many BS statements it rivals Bidens press secretary. Replacing my old Aussie 2012 Ranger with 350km's on the clock with a new Ranger Raptor. V6 3.0 TT Petrol. 400hp. Can't wait.
Mate, this video is just soo wrong. The Ranger is everything you say it isn’t. It has been leading markets in its segment for years and people love it.
with the current fuel prices, I wish they could provide a 2 liter bi turbo diesel engine on the ranger raptor. Things i love about the new raptor is the looks and the suspension.
We don’t get the Raptor Ranger in the US, but I gotta say my 2017 2.7 Ecoboost powered F150 is absolutely the most reliable new vehicle I’ve ever owned. 82k not one problem.
The Rangers which are made in Thai land are far better quality than the ones made in USA and the amount od issues is on or better than the other car manufacturers. I have my second Ranger which is a wildtrak X, 2.0, ten speed it is a great vehicle, my previous Ranger was an XLS, 3.2, 6 speed auto again a great car with less niceties than the Wildtrak. Really if you bring out this sort of rubbish reporting then the name should be changed to Crap reporting Central.
We got 3 of these at work in november. First one was on a tow truck at 800km for injectors, second one needed a new gearbox at 4000km, 3rd has been at the dealer all week after going into limp mode.
This truck is so in demand ..in Australia there is a 12month wait.. new engine , new body, new tech, - this is outstanding..I have taken it for a test drive and this thing is a beast!! .. your video ..is a "negative nancy" .. considering u haven't even tested the truck I wouldn't even be posting such an absurd video it has no substance ..considering u haven't even tested it.. review all the other youtube clips on the new truck that will give u a good indication on how successful this is..
The difference in Australia is we have to pay 100k more for the f150….. our 4x4ing is different and a lot of us don’t require the extra room for comfort because we’re not morbidly obese.
You should be asking why an F150 is 100k more than a Ranger. We don't pay that much more for an F450. The rate of obesity in Australian is 80% of that in the US (29% vs 36%). Not really a large enough difference to explain the difference in vehicle size preference. The most popular choice for off road specific vehicle in the US (Jeep Wrangler) is smaller than both the Ranger and F150.
I have 4 Rangers. 2019-2022. I call BS on most if not all of what you video has to say. It is reliable, comfortable and it has performed in all situations. I own a Pest Control Company and were we work most of the roads are just okay, many dirt roads. I am my employee’s range fro 6’ to 6’4”. AWESOME trucks. Your info is untrue at best.
"In Australia the company stopped production altogether due to a problem with the fuel injectors" - or maybe because they simply stopped making any cars in Australia since 2016
They stopped making all vehicles in Australia because the cost of making them was way too high and the government stopped propping up the manufacturers spending millions and millions of dollars to keep companies like Ford, Toyota and Holden(GM) in Australia.
This must be April Fools Day vid. 😂. Just taken delivery of 2023 Ranger Wildtrak X. Perfect in every way. Best Ute I’ve ever owned. Clear winner for Aussie conditions vs Amarok and Hi Lux. Luxury Ute 🎉
At least Ford would have recalls and willing to fix problems, rather than Toyota having the paint peeling problems that Toyota Australia has no care whatsoever!
thank you for nice in-detail my family almost buy this truck. engine cut-out is not the one experience looking for . i'm totally agree raise the question did they test their truck before went to sell?
I have a 2019 Ranger Raptor. I'm now waiting for my new 2023 Raptor which looks amazing. Being from the part of the word that drives on the correct side of the road, the left, buying an F150 isnt an option.
When it comes to after sales service on a Ford Ranger under valid warranty in South Africa, then I can only agree with this podcast.I have never been so dissappointed in a car manufacturer such as Ford. We had an issue with the electronic steering rack and Ford rejected our claim. They quoted us R36,000 to have it repaired and said it was for our own account as they claimed that the righthand steering rack rubber boot had been damaged by an animal that chewed on the boot. I have had a problem with this Ford Ranger steering rack almost from new and I reported this problem with every service interval.After speaking to a local mechanic, he did a diagnostic check and found that a sensor wire had been cut off, thus the problem,causing the steering not function properly. The mechanic mended the wires and replaced the rubber boot on the steering rack. All to the cost of only R229.00.I have had just So much for being so dissappointed with the Ford motor company of South Africa. Never again will I buy a Ford vehicle in my lifetime after this bad experience. I hope that someone with authority at Ford in the USA could read, this and see how bad an experience I have had.
2:51 They say the same thing about my Colorado Trail Boss,,that it’s cramped no room,,,I can tell by the pic it has plenty of room just like my Colorado does it’s midsize, not full-size yet I fit good and lean back enough

Australia doesn't produce cars. We haven't for 5 years. We've never produced Ranger here anyway, so we never "stopped production due to faulty fuel injectors". Again; either incompetent, or deliberately lying. They did temporarily stop sales of the BiTurbo back in 2018, but they didn't stop producing anything, because they don't make anything.
Not sure about the gearbox. Gearboxes have long been the Achilles Heel of Fords. There's no shortages of stories, posts, affidavits, etc, regarding Fords going into "limp home" mode when the transmission overheats, or lawsuits over dodgy transmissions (believe that one though was Fiesta's/Focus's/Mondeo's). Ford have made changes to the Next Gen gearbox and engines though, and they now only come in automatic, and have features to help prevent abuse leading to decreased longevity.

It is called "Stop and Start". It has been fitted on most vehicles for nearly 15 years to comply with pollution regulation but I feel like the guy who made this video is a bit of a caveman. "The engine stopped, this is witchery!!! Must be a shit car" he said.
I just bought a 2023 Ranger and so far it has been amazing. No issues regarding engine, windows or size. I am currently using it for commuting and for transporting two or three enduro bikes from home to the jungle and back.
Give it time the piece of shit will start falling apart in no time, but don’t worry your not only potato who bought there is thousands of others that wanted to look cool in driving an overpriced dog turd as well 😂
Yes.. so far so good… give it another 12 months
Did you get the 2.0L? Or the gasoline engine? How's the 10 speed gear transmission?
@@tacuazinful The 2.0L diesel. I haven't had any issues with the transmission. It responses as expected and I weekly carry two enduro bikes plus gear. It performs perfectly.
@@DJTrumpMAGA yeah by then Trump should be in prison too.
One of the best selling, best performing vehicles in the world for 2023 and 2024. Glad we didn't listen to your prediction.
As an owner of a 2019 model in the USA the only thing I agree with is the rear seats being cramped. How can you compare it to a 150? Not even close to the same pickup. There’s a reason and purpose for both vehicles.
In Australia the 2023 ranger V6 is $65000 and the V6 F150 will be $150000. Is it half as good? I say no- it's right up the F trucks arse in every test and Aussie car parks are half the size as the US so you can't park the bloody things anywhere without sticking out an pissing off everyone.
@@redroo12 In the US it is an $8,000 difference between the Ranger and the F150. Due to the number of F150s vs Rangers built it is easier to get the F150 at a discount. Parking is also not an issue for an F150. The F350/450 duallies are not even that bad to park most places.
I heard they’re pretty much almost the same dimensions.
@@carknower The largest configuration of the Ranger is (WxLxH in inches) - 77.8x210.8x71.5 width is without mirrors
The F150 is 79.9x250.3x79.8.
@@redroo12 Sounds like your city planners need to plan for trucks.
The start stop can be switched off, it’s to meet emissions regulations
What kind of synopsis is this!
And the ranger and f series can’t be compared
The new Ranger is already here, the information in this video is purely inaccurate unless you're looking at it from a USA point of view. That model is an overseas model. It has the new V6 diesel engine and everything from the ground up is all new.
The model you're talking about is probably the older model the USA got in 2019.
Re-upload a new video with accurate facts. The model you're showing in that video has already surpassed 20000 pre-orders, the most orders ever seen on any Ford model hands down.
Even here in the US...I call "false" on this video. You STILL can't get a new Ranger without waiting for your ordered one to come in. Their extremely popular here too.
@@edgrigsby8610 why there is noRanger manual transmission in the US? in Asia the Rangers comes with manual or auto trans.
@@gutadin5 I'm pretty sure you can get a manual transmission. Most people like the automatic transmission.
Owner of a 2021 Ranger 2wd and love it. I'm tired of hearing about these shitty reviews from people that don't even have the vehicles they're complaining about....
Ive driven a few new Ford Rangers and think they are excellent for what they are designed to do. Superb grip in 4x4 mode.

I love my ford ranger 2019 super cab, no regrets at all and 0 issues
I have a 2020 Ranger, US spec. It’s been a great little truck so far with zero regrets. You are correct that it doesn’t have the best rear seat in the market, but since it’s mostly just me and sometimes my wife as well rear seat didn’t matter. I ordered mine as a Super Cab with the longer bed anyway. Come back when you actually have facts and are not just trying a smear campaign.
I have a 21 Ranger Crew cab and both my kids fit in the back comfortably with car seats. Love my Ranger.
When the new one gets here it's going to be awesome 2023 model for America
And "omg the windshield pops off on impact did they even safety test these things" you got way more issues to worry about when in an accident than a possible weak windshield...lol this guy
Agree I have a 2020 ranger u.s. model and have 17,000 miles on it . Really like my ranger no complaints. How this guy goes off on comparison with a f150 is like apples and oranges 🤣.
Agreed, too much BS.
I’m a Toyota guy, but I gotta say that this video is nuts. Why don’t you just compare an escape to a Range Rover. Cause that’s what you’re doing comparing the ranger to an f150. Hopefully people who are looking at a ranger and don’t know much about cars will read the comments after watching this video, cause that’s where you’ll get proper information.
Owner of a 2022 Ranger Lariat FX4, absolutely love it !! Spoken with a few owners over the last year, haven't heard any complaints from anyone of them. Weird, no recalls either....
#StaySalty
there was 1 RECALL FOR THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE the 2022 RANGER FX4 CREW CAB, They did what they needed(ford dealer) to do, end of story. The FORD RANGER is a GOOD TRUCK.
I have a 2022 ranger tremor love it it is smaller than the 2019 f 250 but what do you expect for a small truck it can pull more and pay load more than some Chevy and dodge half ton trucks
Thumbs down for the clickbait video still with Jeremy Clarkson, who is not featured in this video at all.
First, this Car Central channel is a SHAM!!! He is using Jeremy Clarkson's picture where Jeremy has absolutely nothing to do w/ this channel. This channel also used the video of AutoDeal based in the Philippines. I know the guy and he never said anything negative about your subject vehicle.
With your style, it's not impossible to say that you are paid by other companies to do this content to destroy the image of Ford.
2:30 - Stop/start has been around for years
3:30 - Recalls unfortunately happen with all vehicles, as long as Ford address the issue correctly that's what matters
so true!
Exactly ans exactly
I call Bullshit with a capital B. My 2022 Ranger FX4 Lariat, built in Michigan, USA, is the best truck, actually the best vehicle, that I've ever owned, in my 52 years of owning many trucks and cars. I guess haters gonna hate?
Is this some kind of joke? The only thing that disappoints me about the 2022 Ranger is the lack of a manual transmission and a standard cab version (no rear seat or automatic glitch to worry about then.)
Stop start standard feature can be turned off
I doubt whether he even knows there is Stop Start in this truck or may be he has never heard of it.
Hello everyone, I bought a Ford Ranger wildtrak year 2022, absolutely perfect, no problems so far. In a few years I will see if all these problems will actually arrive as described in the video. Here in Europe there are many Ford Rangers, but I have never heard of such serious problems. Best regards
I have same. Do you have a poor sound system also?
@gunny update US after 2 to 3 years 2022 is still brand new
This guy is radioactive negativity...... It's a good vehicle, tested it and just ordered one
This vid was made by Chevrolet!
Definitely. Outside the US, the Ranger is one of the most spacious vehicles in its class
Fake news! This guy doesn’t know what he is talking about. CLICK BAIT. It’s the 2024 for the new generation and the 2023 is available NOW. USD pricing hasn’t been announced.
Quite a bizzare video. I've only heard very positive reports on the previous and 2023 Ranger.

Very poor review. The Ford is actually a very good truck. I drive a 2022 bi turbo model. Upgraded from a 2017 3.2 XLT and never had any issues with both.
You realize the mid size market exists for a reason right? The f150 is bigger so that means it's better. What??? Some people want a smaller truck. It's also the reason the ranger has less power than the f150. It's smaller, and lighter.
Yes The F150 sell good, partly because of the GM/Ford co designed transmission and rear end. Literally not much difference between F150 transmission parts and a GM.
I don't buy a truck for luxury. I buy a truck to haul shit.
Love how he spoke of the start-stop feature as if it was a dangerous fault 😂😂 what a goof
I feel calm after seeing many people f* this BS video!
What’s up with this video? Everyone who has one loves it.
Gonna have to disagree with you mate, my friend's a mechanic and he told me to stay away from them. Brand new they're ok, but after a few years alot of things will go wrong. He makes a good living fixing them up.
Biggest load of bs I have ever listened to.
Owned a Ranger now for 6 years and done thousands of kilometres towing a 3 ton caravan in remote areas of Australia. Aside from a split turbo hose on the last trip, it has been absolutely faultless.
I find the vehicle very comfortable for long distance travel and I have ridden comfortably in the rear seat on occasion. I am 6' and 94 kgs so not exactly small.
No it isn't the size of a F150 but neither are most of our carparks here. Even a Ranger can be a challenge in some of them.
Given the sterling service my Ranger has given me I am planning on purchasing the new V6 model in the future. No other mid range truck comes close.
Sounds like someone is trying to destroy the ranger sells. Everything I've heard about the ranger has been great. Must be sponsored by Toyota. It's a small truck of course the f150 has more room.
i don't know what kind of Ranger you guys build over there in the US but here in Australia it is very successful reliable best selling truck in Australia that is build in Thailand but designed and engineered in Australia...
I bought a 2017 Model new, 130,000km - Cooling system died, Emissions filter died , Ad Blue motor died & catalytic converter. Approx $5K so far.
I feel you, unfortunately there's a reason the resale values are so low. Me and my friends have suffered from Ford ownership before, one's a mechanic that told me to stay away from them. He makes a good living fixing them though.
we have been using 2023 ranger for 2 weeks now, and its 1000km yesterday so far we have no issue with the engine, but we have issue on finding accessories like bedliner.. ill update later if we encounter something..
Ask the ford dealership where you bought the truck
I would like to hope that within 1000 that there would be no problems.
Sorry, I find your critic very biased!!!
The engine shutting off is a stop start feature to save fuel…what a crap review 😭😭
Not only that there are multiple waye to get rid of it
My ranger didn't even come with start stop and im glad it didn't because it's a ridiculous option and I'm sure it can only strain the starter? Love my ranger too
This is the best ute in Australia…by a long way…………..
The new ranger is causing people to say "R.I.P to other utes", it is probably the best ute Australia has seen and you obviously come with reasons to make it look bad. It is an excellent all round car and you can simply change the "apparent" bad things. There will always be a bad "thing" about a car and when people figure that out they usually fix it, so it wouldnt be any different to any other car because nothing is perfect apparently these days. Don't try highlight it just because YOU may not like that feature because other people may like that feature.
For 80k you shouldnt get BAD Things you need to swap out at your expense.. But fanboys will be fanboys..
Hilux is still the best Ute in Australia. It's has sold the most units for the passed 6 year. I bought a new Hilux in Feb and love mine Ute and wouldn't buy anything else. Hilux is the best Ute Australia has, not the Ranger.

You must be buying the lucky ones, Ranger I had spent its life at the dealership getting fixed
Engine stops running at stop light? You mean you don't like the stop start system that most ford's have now?
I already bought the 2023 Ranger Raptor model after seeing this misleading video and I'm loving it. Very capable vehicle and nimble on/off road.
Update US after 2 to 3 years 25,000 to 35,000 kms 2023 is still brand new
Wow Can't see how any of this is even remotely correct! Surprised this hasn't been taken down by a court order... if it wasn't so slanderous it would be hilarious 🤣
I owned six rangers the last 20 years and some other vehicles between and one f 150 raptor first gen. now i´m a proud owner of the new ranger raptor. this thing is so far ahead above all pick up trucks i´ve ever driven before. the only thing i miss is the sound of the 6.2 v8. but more important for me is the quality of the interieur. and that thing is a giantic jump forwards.
for only 50,000 dollars more, imagine that. ford went woke, screw them.
I am sure this guy is paid by rivalries to destroy the reputation of this great beast
This is hard to watch, did you just try and compare a Ranger with an F150...... please delete this video and try again.
I have a 2019 Ford Ranger 4X4 XLT It is a great truck! It goes 0-100 in 8 seconds. You can't beat that. It had 19,000 miles. I bought it new in 2020 My warranty is up in 23!

What a rubbish review !! Probably the best vehicle I have ever owned !! Was the video made by Chevy 🤣👎
thats what i thought!
Chevy fan here. I don't think we have nay problems with this truck. Hell, I'm probably buying the ranger raptor instead of the zr2 colorado after seeing the reveal of the colorado yesterday. This might be a toyota sponsored video because they know this is going to bite into their sales.
The auto start stop is not a safety hazard lol. It's a programmed feature, it shuts off at a light and as soon as your foot leaves the brake it restarts on its own and by the time you hit the gas it is going. This feature can also be turned off by pushing a button inside the cab. I've never heard of the windshield thing, and i own a 2019 ranger. It also has a 2.3 Liter Ecoboost, not a 2.0 Liter.
Did you guys do any actual research at all before putting a video out?
The best designed truck on the market , it will be years before the competition catches up to it here in Australia beutiful silky smooth v6 diesel's and gas engines , the whole vehicle oozes quality .
If you read up on the new ranger you wil find out they have got a lot of issues and there haveing trouble fixing these problems ,there's been lot replaced ,and that is not good ,they ar getting the lemon tag .
@@vangard3415 There is not a single article in the world produced by mankind that does not have teething problems until the bugs are ironed out, the best way to iron out the bugs is get it on the market, and as they pop up, deal with it and then correct the problem on the production line.
@@vangard3415 I used to have people like yourself say exactly the same thing on line about Falcons, I've owned 3 and have a good good run for 20 years and love FGX the last car I'll ever own.
Clearly a Ford hater made this video. Full of nonsense talk. The Ford Ranger old and new are great vehicles and I don’t know anyone who is unhappy with their ranger.
What a load of shit very poor review. The older rangers have there problems but most people that review, review quite well and I've driven the new v6 diesel wild track and it has plenty of power
This is s definitely mostly BS I’ve got a 2019 ranger and got almost 100k miles on it with absolutely zero issues! Loved every smile in it!
I can not comment on the new Ranger but I have a 2000 Ranger 4x4 super cab and it has no rust and still runs and looks like new. It has been a very good trouble free truck for 22 years. I'm sure it will last for many more years.
I’m retired and living in the Philippines and I am picking up my 2023 ford ranger sport 4x2 in about a week or two. It’s already at the dealership and I’ve sat in it and being a 5’10” 210lbs American I was more than comfortable in the front seats and the back seat with the front seats left in the position I had them in when I sat up front. I am also benefiting from the fact that I got the trim level just above the XLT so full leather and keyless entry with push button start and my OTD price is only $26k USD.
I have to disagree with this vid, the thai model does not come with a diesel v6 but the speed and comfort it has given is amazing, put it like this, there's no other truck in the thai market with all the features, tech and power as the Ford ranger at the moment. I've test driven both the wildtrack and raptor here both are amazing to drive and offer relative comfort for my 6'4 ft frame, it's still a little cramp in the back but I am still comfortable compared to the previous generation of the ford.
The reviewers didn’t lie about anything. You have clearly done this video not knowing anything about it, and definitely haven’t driven one. It offers plenty of luxury ( that you would not expect in a ute in its class), it drives extremely well etc. It’s always been a success here in Australia but there is currently around an 18 month wait for the V6 version. I had to wait 12 months for my V6 Wildtrak and I love it. If it was as bad as you say I would’ve sold mine already. Not only have I not sold it it is my daily. I drive it more then any of my other cars.
I own a 2020 and love it, never a problem with 30k miles so far
is that a Australian Ranger or USA Ranger?
Was this video paid for by GM?
Do not fret Ford Ranger buyers.... it's a hit piece. So many BS statements it rivals Bidens press secretary. Replacing my old Aussie 2012 Ranger with 350km's on the clock with a new Ranger Raptor. V6 3.0 TT Petrol. 400hp. Can't wait.
Well I mean the Toyota 2022 sr5 is more worth it then a ford ranger but a raptor a eh I could say expensive but worth for the price
This looks and sounds like a hit piece.. you're the only review with so many negative comments about this vehicle.. who is your sponsor?
Probably Toyota .🤫
Which competitor paid you to make this video and how much was it?
Driven mine for more than three years and no issues. Very economical on fuel
how many mileage on the odometer?
I just purchased a Ford Ranger Sport model few days ago and I must say I love it. ❤️
Mate, this video is just soo wrong. The Ranger is everything you say it isn’t. It has been leading markets in its segment for years and people love it.
Why are you comparing F150 to the Ranger? Those two have separate market audiences.
Too late my mom bought it already but it’s still fine
Mine Ford Ranger Tdci 2.5 XLT 2008.. till now 💪🏻🔥
Stopping at signal it turns off, its built into it.
with the current fuel prices, I wish they could provide a 2 liter bi turbo diesel engine on the ranger raptor. Things i love about the new raptor is the looks and the suspension.
they do have the Raptor in that spec in Vietnam and other places I guess. In face it's the only spec it comes in here!

Just because you said so??? Nah I don't agree
We don’t get the Raptor Ranger in the US, but I gotta say my 2017 2.7 Ecoboost powered F150 is absolutely the most reliable new vehicle I’ve ever owned. 82k not one problem.
You do not know what you are talking about ! You must be sponsored by Toyota or something
The Rangers which are made in Thai land are far better quality than the ones made in USA and the amount od issues is on or better than the other car manufacturers. I have my second Ranger which is a wildtrak X, 2.0, ten speed it is a great vehicle, my previous Ranger was an XLS, 3.2, 6 speed auto again a great car with less niceties than the Wildtrak. Really if you bring out this sort of rubbish reporting then the name should be changed to Crap reporting Central.
“Crap reporting central” haha love it
We got 3 of these at work in november. First one was on a tow truck at 800km for injectors, second one needed a new gearbox at 4000km, 3rd has been at the dealer all week after going into limp mode.

This truck is so in demand ..in Australia there is a 12month wait.. new engine , new body, new tech, - this is outstanding..I have taken it for a test drive and this thing is a beast!! .. your video ..is a "negative nancy" .. considering u haven't even tested the truck I wouldn't even be posting such an absurd video it has no substance ..considering u haven't even tested it.. review all the other youtube clips on the new truck that will give u a good indication on how successful this is..
The difference in Australia is we have to pay 100k more for the f150….. our 4x4ing is different and a lot of us don’t require the extra room for comfort because we’re not morbidly obese.
You should be asking why an F150 is 100k more than a Ranger. We don't pay that much more for an F450.
The rate of obesity in Australian is 80% of that in the US (29% vs 36%). Not really a large enough difference to explain the difference in vehicle size preference.
The most popular choice for off road specific vehicle in the US (Jeep Wrangler) is smaller than both the Ranger and F150.
I have 4 Rangers. 2019-2022. I call BS on most if not all of what you video has to say. It is reliable, comfortable and it has performed in all situations. I own a Pest Control Company and were we work most of the roads are just okay, many dirt roads. I am my employee’s range fro 6’ to 6’4”. AWESOME trucks. Your info is untrue at best.
"In Australia the company stopped production altogether due to a problem with the fuel injectors" - or maybe because they simply stopped making any cars in Australia since 2016
That is only 1 of many inaccuracies.
They stopped making all vehicles in Australia because the cost of making them was way too high and the government stopped propping up the manufacturers spending millions and millions of dollars to keep companies like Ford, Toyota and Holden(GM) in Australia.
@@markmcinnes1899 Yep, they used to spend millions in Australia so that Australia didn't have to spend billions on imports.

When it comes to after sales service on a Ford Ranger under valid warranty in South Africa, then I can only agree with this podcast.I have never been so dissappointed in a car manufacturer such as Ford. We had an issue with the electronic steering rack and Ford rejected our claim. They quoted us R36,000 to have it repaired and said it was for our own account as they claimed that the righthand steering rack rubber boot had been damaged by an animal that chewed on the boot. I have had a problem with this Ford Ranger steering rack almost from new and I reported this problem with every service interval.After speaking to a local mechanic, he did a diagnostic check and found that a sensor wire had been cut off, thus the problem,causing the steering not function properly. The mechanic mended the wires and replaced the rubber boot on the steering rack. All to the cost of only R229.00.I have had just So much for being so dissappointed with the Ford motor company of South Africa. Never again will I buy a Ford vehicle in my lifetime after this bad experience. I hope that someone with authority at Ford in the USA could read, this and see how bad an experience I have had.
