Love this truck. Purchased new in Darwin in September 2014. Driven around Australia including 5 weeks in Tasmania towing a 21 foot Jayco Silverline Outback. Almost 60,000 klms travelled, 50,000 of which were towing. Fuel consumption lately has been around 20 litres per 100klm. Never been at 15 as many people suggest. Has got worse on this latest trip heading again south from Darwin towards Qld and then NSW. Service due at 60,000 ; so will mention it to the Dealership then. However, so far so good with only a few very minor problems. I still love this truck.

Gearbox thump, engine smoke in cold winter blue. Rough idle aircon work when it want too. Paint work very poor. Ford will not help please Australia buy are hilux don't stuff up buying are px on ranger. You will regret it 100% ford Australia will not replace my lemon and still cannot fix my problem. Not happy at all please test drive hilux before going into are lemon ranger.

New transmission after 30,000 Klm
Flex plate replace at 40.000 Klm
After 60,000 Klm now has a transmission issue
Had a PK ranger with no issues doing the same work & A RG Colorado doing the same work with no issues.
This vehicle has cost us more than it is worth.Bought after no issues with a Colorado Auto.This vehicle has cost us more than it is worth.If you are towing buy something else.We have ordered a 70 series Cruiser.They may be basic BUT,they are unbreakable.

Have 2011 top of the range bt50 version. 115k on the clock. Never off road. Auto trans flex plate cracked, torque converter has to be overhauled as a result . Out of warranty of course! My mechanic hopes it will be under $3k! Reckons it probably wasn't right straight from the factory. Nearly 2wks without a work car so far. Not happy. Was hoping to trade it in for a 2015 Ranger hi rider but now I'm not so sure. It seems like all the car companies are talking us for granted. Overpriced with no or very little after sales support. This doesn't take into account the brake problems the in first month of it's life!

My ranger 2012 had a recall on the coolant hose.
so i took it back to be replaced. on replacing the hose some how the hose was installed wrong causing the wiring around the hose to rub to bare wire causing the car problems with the computer and shutting the car down.
It took the wiring about 8-10 months to play up.
So make sure the recall work is done right.

I purchased this ute with the intention to keep it for many years. It's a 2012 px duel cab 2.2 with 55 thousand on the clock It has major turbo lag (feels like a 3 second delay) which is dangerous at intersections and gearbox shift is ruff. I am also having major air con problems or say NO air con. All above problems have been discussed with my local ford dealer and not much has been done. I'm so unhappy after 3 months of owning it, i'm ready to sell and buy a hilux.

Was actually dialling to order an Isuzu when my phone rang. The Salesman at Rebel Ford had impeccable timing, was negotiable, and for an extra 0.2 pulling power a deal was done. Although a little heavy on fuel around town it is reasonable on the open road and has performed well over these past 12 months. Can recommend this vehicle and this business.

Awesome!!!! purchased in used condition. had for 1 year, Ford has made huge improvements in this category, and they catching to that tired old white goods brand Toy-ota for very good reasons, the Ford Ranger is a superior ute, and makes the american named rebadged Holden look pathetic, reliability is well above most makes recalls are very minimal and Ford servicing is improving might I add..

We bought ours brand new 2011 and still going strong. Love it and has taken us many miles. Its in diesel and my husband is a ford man. And its manual. 4x4 and we just hook up our trailor and off we go. We have also helped alot of people out of ditches and so it has a great pulling power. Its great and reliable for me when husband is away .

Thailand built Ranger XLT 2014. First week covers for A pillars had to be removed as the factory forgot to install sound proofing foam. Second month the passenger side door had to be entirely replaced due to a broken internal component which was very noisy and could not be replaced. After 10 months and only 7k kms the driver's seat cloth has totally fallen apart.

Bought an XLT dual cab. It has everything I wanted and I am very happy with it. Even my wife who had reservations about driving such a big car likes it. Particularly happy with the technology and safety - better than Amarok. The only negatives are that it does not have a reversing camera standard (only available on Wildtrak I think) and the auto gearbox does "search" a bit between 60-80kph.

2015 model, less than a 1000km, started making a noise like something spinning and hitting metal, and blowing black smoke so dense I couldn't see road behind. Power was noticeably less around 1500-2000, no torque, smoke and noise then stopped. I took it to the dealer, plugged in computer, no problems at all they say. Still down on power, I think it's a turbo issue. Will get it dynode to prove to them it's lacking power.
After 25 years of new Holdens with no problems, I get this from a Ford after 4 weeks. They can have it back if they think it's fine, I'll get a Holden instead.

I test drove this car as I have been looking at replacing my current 4WD vehicle. I was very surprised at a the comfort and power this vehicle offers. I have very little to complain about other than the price of the "Wildtrak" of which I was interested in. One let down was the small monotone LCD screen, come-on! Most cars have better that that, otherwise this is one impressive vehicle. Is it the best UTE? Quite possibly!
