Happy so far
Beautiful to drive. Quiet and refined inside. Sync 3 system is fantastic but has occasional glitches. Had for 18 months / 40,000km and no problems so far. Does some farm work and haven't started a fire yet. Load carrying capability for a dual cab is good and towing capacity is great. Thirstier than my previous BT50, averaging 10.5L/100km.

Ranger lemon
My 2017 XLT Supercab auto has now been at Gateway Ford in Wollongong for 2 months. The vehicle has 13,000km.
There was an unacceptable engine knock. Ford said they would install a new motor. Ford supplid a recondioned motor and offered to extend the warranty by 2 years. I was not offered a loan car till last week.
Picked up vehicle yesterday and only travelled 2 km and stopped. Placed on Tilt Truck and back to dealer.
They said the vehicle required 5 new injectors which would be absolute horse s--t.
Now requesting a new car as this one has been a LEMON.

Love it
Use it as our family vehicle upgraded from a Toyota Kluger and we love it. Great and comfortable to dive even for its size.
Fits the baby car seat in the back perfectly. Front seat can be adjusted by height and also closer or further from the steering wheel which is great as it adds to the confidence in driving a large vehicle

Navigation
Very happy with the Super Cab Ute generally but as mentioned the Navigation is out dated. Can't fin my house let alone the street which had been created about 3 years ago. Not good enough. my old, old VMS GPS finds my street and alerts for speed cameras, and School Crossing. The new FORD should do at least that. The navigation is the reason I wont give it 5 stars.
Also the damn Smart Charger is not so smart won't put out enough to charge my camper through the 30 amp plug on the move. The old, old Luxxie did. Dumbest idea ever.

Biggest Lemon ever
Very comfortable, has everything inside. Very costly when towing a van. Had recalls, still waiting to get fixed. Had problems ever since new. Back seal etc. Every extra that was put on was incorrect and had to be taken off and put back on properly. Some dealerships not friendly and helpful

Very solid
Previous utes have been Triton and a Hilux but the Ranger chews them both up (although new 2016 model versus 2012 Triton and 2012 Hilux). There is absolutely no way to compare the 3 because the Ranger is in a different class. The towing (horse float with 2X600kg horses) is a no brainer because the Ranger has more power and gears. The steering and handling of the Ford is also in a different class to the other two. Comfort and size for me is also important as I am 6'6". The Ranger is streets ahead in this area. General feel of the Ranger is way s...Read more
uperior but that could be because it's newer. The Triton was nowhere near as good in towing or general highway use (slower and gear changes not as fast or accurate and swayed like buggery. Both the Triton and Hilux didn't have as much grunt either. Fuel consumption is similar. There is really no way to compare the Ranger with the other two and after nearly 2 years....no issues.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Pre Collision Assist Not Available
I have a 2016 Wildtrack, the Pre Collision Assist Not Available pops up at random times, this has gone on since new & Ford have just told me this is normal & happens all the time. I have spoken to a few people that own a Wildtrack & it hasn't happened to them? Would be keen to know if this is happening to others?

Beware of buying wildtrack
My 2017 wildtrack broke down with engine failure 4 weeks ago and I have been stuffed around by ford Australia and the ford dealership in Elisabeth south Australia. After having been told different stories from both of them I am still without a car and out of pocket.
I have never been offered either a loan car, a time frame for getting the car fixed.
All I have had is frustration and anguish for the last 3 and a half weeks.
I have rang both Rebel ford and ford Australia every second day and have got no closer to understanding what is going ...Read more

2016 PX 2 XLT 3.2 Auto (Post DPF) Ford Ranger
Purchased the vehicle in December 2016. Have only managed to do 8000km in 14 months. 4000km on a return trip to Hervey Bay from Victoria, the rest around town.
So far the ute has not missed a beat. Sure, it seems to have too many gears when driving around town like a grand father on his way to the bowling club, but get it on the highway, towing my 2000kg caravan and it cruises along quite sweetly. I do not notice any kind of lag or hesitation, it just does its job nice and comfortably.
The only annoyances I have are:

Love it!
Just bought the 2017 Ford Ranger with free Auto from Springwood Ford QLD. Absolutely love it and got such a bargain. The guys and Springwood Ford QLD did it in a 2 day turn around! Yes, 2 days! So we were able to drive away before the new year and still get the free Auto and a special price.

2017 Ford Ranger
This is my second Ranger, to date very happy. Comfort is pretty good, having an exceptionally poor back is a fair indication over long trips. 18000ks on the clock, returns 9.6ks per litre, loaded with canopy and around 500kg plus full fuel. Overall I would rate the Ranger 4.5 stars out of 5, to date no issues.

What a Truck!
Very happy with my purchase. Use it for the daily commute, family car trips, and for getaways to surf, camp, and 4wd.
Haven't had any issues with it, almost due for first 15k service.
Plenty of grunt, very smooth drive. As a tall bloke (6"6') the drivers seat is very comfortable even on long trips.
Would recommend!

2.2 diesel 6 speed - be prepared for endless gear changing
For work I drive a Ford Ranger diesel 2.2 six speed manual. The cabin is fine, although it misses out on things like an outside temperature display and finding a few features like the rear window demist is a challenge! The good, it seems quite lightweight, and the economy is great, probably excellent! I average 7.5/100km for a busy commute across Newcastle. It also has a good size tank, so the range is really good. If economy is your goal then this is your ute.
The not so good; when the tray is empty, it's very light in the rear, meani...Read more
ng slides and wheelspin in the wet are a common feature. What makes this worse is you have to really rev it through the lower gears to get going, leading to more wheel-spin. It's low geared! Taking off in first from the lights, you either rev it to the moon or have cyclists pass you. In the traffic light derby, this ute will see you hold up impatient courier drivers. And the gear change is a bit slow as well. On the open road it's fine. In town, no thanks. And any slight rise sees it labouring, begging you for a lower gear. I lay awake at night dreaming about the 3.2 litre version.. or an Izuzu D Max,.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Good Ute little things stop it from being great
Great Ute to drive and considering it’s size reasonable on fuel. I’ve done over 37000km with a mixture off road and towing and averaged 12.2litres per hundred. Vehicle is lifted with bullbar sand all terrains that won’t help economy. Little niggling things like front sensors going off in the rain or radio not working intermittently or adaptive cruise control turning off stop it from being a great Ute. Paint seems extremely thin and Scratches chips easily. Having said the negatives it’s still a great vehicle to drive and for a large Ute it’s still a great drive

Great ute
Drives nice and smooth, plenty of power to get up and go. Interior is ok, pretty basic but that’s all we need. Easy to keep clean inside and out. Plenty of room in the dual cab for the kids. Running costs are low and fuel consumption around 9L/100km. Tows our 20ft caravan with ease-hardly feel like there’s anything hooked on behind us!

Best ute i have ever owned. Have towed with it, taken it off road, use it everyday for work and give it a hiding hasnt let me down and keeps going.
Drives beautifully on the highway and in town just wish ford offered the wiltrack or the fx4 variants in the supercab outlay

Wildtrak 3.2 auto thuds/clunks into 6th gear at about 75 -85 Klm/hr. Sometimes I completely lose 6th gear. This fault happens intermittantly but is happening more often. 2022 with 31,000 Klms. Dealer doesn’t seem concerned, they dropped a new program into gearbox computer. No change. Anybody had an issue like this.
