    XLT ranger

    XLT rangerGreater Melbourne (Metropolitan), VIC

    I wanted a ranger brought it.

    published

    I flew to Sydney to look at this car loved the way it looked and drove so I bought it. Drove it back to Melbourne no drama. I did not know it has a cooler on the EGR water flow through the exhaust stopped using it and now it's brilliant. No drama.

    piece of junk

    published

    http://australiancar.reviews/reviews.php#!content=recalls&make=Ford&model=Ranger&gen=262
    If you have any issues with your vehicle see if it is in the above link at australiancar.reviews and send them a message with new non mentioned complaints.
    I have had the 4x4 selector motor die, gearbox jerky and recently hard to get reverse, internal light blows, 2 windows work when they want to and squeal when they do and recently it self locks even after door opened, with most of this before 30,000km's and before warranty was up, but not honored by ford due to my geographical location...

    Best car that i have had

    published

    this car is the best car I've ever had, take it to a broken road still stay comfortable, this very powerful car I've ever had and make its service is not expensive but this car is sometimes uncontrollable during the rainy season. and this car feels very comfortable on the toll road and when going away.

    Can't fault it

    published

    Only had it for two years and it's done over 190 k
    Been to cape york and was very happy with it although I did'nt do any extreme stuff but did tow a 1.5 tonne camper
    3.0 ltr manual 2010 and very comfortable cab
    To pick a fault it would be the weakness of the idler arm and torsion bar suspension

    Perfect car

    published

    This is my 47 car I own, I change cars a lot. This is by far the best car I ever owned. I have it now for 7 years, no repairs, just normal service. Towed 2.6 ton Caravan for over 40000 km.
    Best Car. I would recommend a ford Ranger to any one.

    216000 and still going strong

    published

    Having had this vehicle since new and now with 216000 klm on the clock, I can honestly say it has been a joy to own and drive.
    I've towed my Quintrex Renegade boat around Australia and had total reliability with fuel economy of 10Lt per 100klm, which is incredible considering both boat and Ranger were packed with full load. Doing just over 20000klm and using 2067Lt of diesel fuel.
    The comfort of this vehicle is comparable to any sedan but with greater ground clearance which enables it to go over uneven terrain without any problems.

    Now Ford is on the do not shop list ever again... Toyota Spare Parts warranty is 12 months unlimited KM vs Ford, 20,000 km... a true commercial warranty by Toyota...lining up for the new Hilux.

    Ford bad car bad attitude

    published

    Adding to my previous review. I sent an email and phoned Ford about my vehicle and relayed my disgust in the vehicle. 2 weeks on, no reply from Ford Customer Service. I guess this is telling all Ford owners they don't care. Money power greed the world we live in.

    Auto Trasmission Failure.

    published

    Purchased my PK Ranger Under 12mths ago. 2wd auto Highrider. !50,000K's the Auto gear box failed. Repaired at a transmission workshop. No support from FORD. Not happy Ford Ranger owner. Will never buy another Ford.
    Ford said there were NON genuine parts fitted. But what do you do if you are told the vehicle is not under warranty.

    The gear boss in the pk aren't strong enough for the motors . Mine is at the end of its life, it started at about 30000 km ford would not do anything about . Said it was nothing, but now it's that bad it has trouble getting going. To fix it will cost $7000 less you but a old reck to strip. Wouldn't never buy a ford again . Good luck if you buy an auto .

    Great car, excellent tow vehicle

    published

    2010 4x2 Hi-Rider 3L turbo diesel. I get 10ltr per 100k empty and 16ltr per 100k with 3ton caravan. Lots better than my Prado 3ltr does. Very responsive and great get up and go. Only negative I find is side mirrors don't give great view, but is minor overall.

    Ranger PK (2009-2011)

    Hi All, My ford starting was great and then started losing power when I go up hill and when I accelerate it will just cut power. It di it twice in 85kmns and then 8 hours later on my way back it did it everytime I accelerate to above 2000rpm. I changed the oil filter and it was very dirty but now after putting it back I can only start the car then it idles fine and when I press the pedal to rev it just bogs down an die or goes up from 1.500 rpm to about 2000/2500 and then come down again or if I keep holding the pedal down it dies or stalls the engin.

    I hope this makes sence please help?.
