Very good car with all the power and tech that a 4wd utility vehicle should have. The fuel is also very efficient and gets you great millage per tank. The car handles well and is great for 4wdriving out in the forests and on tough terrain. The car is also reasonably priced.

2014 ranger brought from the yard after much tossing up between Toyota and Patrol, have had nothing but problems in and out of the shop for warranty claims, wiring loom melted to the exhaust, new turbo, new air conditioning motors, driveshaft, wheel bearings, diff, this is out of warranty now and just waiting for the thing to blow up. Would never buy another ranger.

Handles like a car, has the power of a 4x4 and very luxurious interior. Running costs are a bit high but that's to be expected for a 3.2ltr turbo. Very nice drive in traffic and manoeuvres very smoothly. A little stiff in the steering but it's a 4x4 and you need the weight behind it.

Our 4 year old ford ranger just died one day with no warning. It now requires $15k to get a new engine. We missed 1 service and that time apparently the oil level got too low (no warning of an oil light or anything) so the whole engine died. A car we purchased for $40k+ 4 years ago is died! We will never buy this car let alone a ford again.

Exactly a year out of warranty with less than 90,000kms on the clock and our manual gearbox is dead, there's a hole in the exhaust, the dash reads errors alot, sometimes the reverse camera doesn't work and dings at us instead, the button for the heated drivers seat stopped working, the rollback tray was not mounted properly and is missing bolts as well as the fact that it lifts from the tray and our dealer fitted an Ironman bullbar with only 2 bolts instead of 4. And of all the cheap things, the interior plastic on the door handles is peeling, the gear shift is fading, the list goes on.
Ford have been unbelievably unhelpful and ignorant.

I am still in awe at how great this vehicle drives handles and preforms. Off road this vehicle handles like a true 4x4. On the highway it drives like a luxury sedan. Continues to prove itself to be a great preformance vehicle in all conditions. Aswell as being able to suit my family for long or short trips.

Smooth drive, reliable and smooth. Like to drive a lot so enjoy travelling in this vehicle. Interior is well appointed and it has a USB port which is a good feature. Fuel economy is ok but not great. Would recommend for off the road trips as well but can be a bit bumpy

my ranger 3.2 i bought second hand at 93k, was pumping raw diesel out of the exhaust on cold start for a few seconds, which eventually turned into minutes and every time i started it. reconditioned the injectors and went through the typical fault finding through ford and other mechanics. ended up buying a brand new motor for 10k and it was fine up until a week ago. motor has done roughly 12k and the rings are leaking on cold start. bloody poor effort ford. oh and the aircon died which is leaking behind the dashboard. 2k to pull it out and replace the fitting.

These are rubbish, done 130000km started blowing heaps of smoke and found diesel in the oil.
They don't last long and unreliable for remote fourwheel driving.
I work in far north Australia and had less problems with my 2002 troop carrier.
I rang ford they said take it to a ford dealer, I said the nearest one is 1400km away. They replied it's not our fault customers live that far away.
I just wanted to find out what it could be.

Bought this from new, towed a 20' caravan around Australia for a year last year, didn't miss a beat ! Great fuel economy, tyres on the new vehicle are rubbish, great interior and comfortable seats, trip meter jammed last year but fixed under warranty, it's a great vehicle and we have had a few

Hey I have had my Ford Ranger XLT 3.2 Auto for about six months. I am still very happy with my purchase. We had the electric brakes fitted with out issues. They can be an issue if you don't use someone who has had experience with ford rangers. Tows like a dream. Don't even know the car trailer is there.
I do have one issue and that is with the drivers side mirror. As I am short I have issues with roundabouts and concrete islands and seeing little kids on pedestrian crossings. Now I am aware I just have to make sure I sit right up and peer over the top of the mirror when entering roundabouts and pedestrian crossing.
Other than that I am still very happy with the purchase.
Fuel economy is amazing.

I would recommend a ford ranger to anyone looking for a run about vehicle, work vehicle, weekender up the bush or even a long trip. We head away a lot and tow a 2T camper trailer and the ute toes it with absolute ease. Has no trouble hauling along the road and definitely doesn't miss a beat when pulling the trailer through the scrub on The Weeknd's. There is plenty of room in the back for the kids and very spacious in the tub for the dogs. Plenty of grunt and is very quiet, the wife even enjoys driving the ranger around. Ring a 4x4 enthusiast for a lot of years and owning plenty of different 4WD's, I would easily rate the PX ford ranger a 10/10
