My Son had a 2016 XLT, used for his land surveying business, 4WD every day on land sub divisions. Had done 300k kms when it was traded for a new Next Gen Ranger. Was completely reliable, just normal service by a local mechanic and two brake overhauls. His new V6 XLT is brilliant, hard to believe it is a Diesel, so quiet.

These videos are awesome. Appreciate the effort in making them. Very informative and straight to the point. Thanks guys.

There have been 4 of these in my family, all 2012-2013 models and all had some transmission issues. Mine needed the transmission module replaced. Aside from that 220k and still going strong 2012 XLT 3.2 6AT.

I have an early 2015 ranger single cab 3.2 4x4 tray from new. First four years of its life was spent as a farm ute. Grossing 3.3 tonne with all the tools for a farm service vehicle, it has towed farm equipment giving a total gross of 9 tonne around the farm and in high range but never exceeding 70kmh. It now has 210,000 kms on it and has been regularly serviced from day one. It has blown one turbo hose and wore out one old man emu front shocker mount. Its week point is the clutch. You can slip the clutch but generally it will stall before that if its over loaded. The clutch pedal wont return properly some times after towing up hill and getting back into 6th. Paint is still excellent and interior has weathered very well. I look forward to the next 7 years and 200,000 kms.

Before I found your channel I literally knew nothing about 4WD. Thanks to your videos I made a very informed purchase of a very sexy 2017 Wildtrak.

My 2021 US Ranger XLT has been fine so far. Decent mileage & being 70, I do not drive much past 2 yrs. Loving it.

I updated my 2005 Ford courier XLT diesel Turbo to a Ford Ranger XLT 2016 3.2 and I LOVE IT! Thanks for the review.

Thanks for being so nuanced and saying the pros and cons. I saw one today and just realised how beautiful they are.

1988 Ford Ranger STX 4x4 ext cab, 2 inch body lift, 3 inch suspension lift on 33s, 5..0 swap. Lovin It.

Wading depth is good until you have a bull bar. Then it drops significantly to lower than many others, because of the cutting away of the front end they do to fit it. Beware that trap. Snorkels will help, as long as there are no plumbing leaks. Injectors are supposed to last around 130 000 kms. Many do last longer, but they are around $600 each and there are 5 of them. They cannot be serviced or repaired. And the biggest bane that Fords always had.... Electrics/electronics. Once they start to play up, start crying. You're going to need a mortgage. I had a 2017 XLT (last one before DPF's were fitted). Adaptive Cruise Control radar sensor in the front bumper. One knock and it's $3k to fix. System won't work without it. The sensor is $1800, the fitting costs the rest. Steering sensor was acting up. Can't be fixed, so it's a new steering rack $3k (approx.). ABS module also acting up $3k again.. Windscreen damage? $3k again, Ford dealer only. I'm talking XLT and up with all the sensor systems revolving around the windscreens. Then there's all the diagnostic work. Many faults are obscure and only the Ford dealer can read the systems all the way Even then you sometimes have to play the parts swapping game until you hit the right part. Even they can't always pick it first shot. The systems can't often be fully diagnosed by an independent mechanic unless he has the ForScan computer the dealers have. The dealer can spend a lot of time diagnosing, so it can get quite expensive. I'm not casting aspersions on the dealer mechanics here, the systems are complex and a lot of codes are ambiguous. They don't always get it right either, Then it's another day or more back in the shop. Mine was becoming a money pit, so I got rid of it before I needed that mortgage. Hard usage can often carry a lot of undiscovered issues that emerge when you least expect it. They are not as tough as you might think they are. Prior accident history can start the daisy chain rolling out. I wasn't game to do much off road work. With the existing issues and the engine's delicate reputation, it seemed to be too much of a risk to do it.

@@ScottyP79 They have an iffy reputation with the 6 speed boxes too. From memory, the recommended service interval is around the 200k kms mark. By then the vehicle is outside of the manufacturer's interest and warranty claims. No auto technician would accept that as being right. They reckon 60k intervals is pushing it without fluid changes too. Got mine serviced at 100k and the fluid was starting to deteriorate to a point where the tech said I would have been having problems pretty soon if I hadn't done it then. There is a temperature solenoid inside that sets the system into more efficient cooling mode when it reaches a certain temp, but the default trigger temp is usually a bit high. There are aftermarket solenoids available (not too expensive) which have a lower trigger setting and this often helps the box and fluid to last longer.

'09 is a totally different vehicle, manufactured by Mazda.

I own and drive a base model 2017 Ford Ranger 2.2l super cab, and love it. Regularly driven long distance on dirt roads and some very tough terrain. I used to own a 2005 XLT with a chipped and tuned 4l V6 (185kw on dyno), with all the bells and whistles, chrome rollover bar, bull bar and steps as well as an OME lift kit and after market 17inch rims wrapped in Cooper off road tires (a proper wankermobile in other words). I traded it on my present Ford Ranger which is in fact by far the better ute. It is also a very easy vehicle to service yourself (if you are into that sort of stuff). I would not hesitate to recommend buying this era of Ford Ranger.

Common issues are oil pump failures resulting in seized engines and failed injectors resulting in burnt pistons. I changed my 2014 2.2 engine’s oil pump last year, just in case. The 2.0 Ecoblue engines have had issues with injectors [2019 models mostly] and wet timing belt failures for which in many markets there is a recall and inspection campaign just now. This may be an issue with failing DPF regenerations.

EGR cooler was a issue and gives symptoms like a blown head gasket but it's a not to bad to fix on the early px rangers.

I hear a lot of talk about the Ranger not taking a standard pallet. Has anyone thought to push the forks in a little and go into the pallet sideways and put the pallet on long ways? Try it...

Egr cooler problems they crack are located behind the engine keep an eye on your coolent level. Also very expensive to replace one .

I drive a 4x4 2017 ranger at work and there good but they have problems ranging in severity. I have a mate whose ranger at 60k blew a gear box and it was used and out of warranty and another mate the gear box shat its self and it cost him well over 10K to fix.

There is an upgrade available and it's not that expensive to replace the clutch. I am aware of a fuel pump that failed at 300,000 km. That pretty well wrote off the vehicle as it was $6500 au. to replace it. Aside from that, they have all been serviceable vehicles and have just required normal maintenance.

The original T6 is by far the most sexy looking. I have both a 2014 and a 2023 [current] model. The biggest recurring issue I’ve had with my hard worked farm 2014 2.2 auto Limited model has been breaking rear leaf springs. I’ve replaces five in total which means that it is on its seventh spring over its 95,000 miles. The leather on the steering wheel long wore holes but has been covered in a nice aftermarket glove. The faux-leather at the side of the driver’s seat has now cracked badly. The plastic seat side trim just comes away due to our fat arses pressing on it when exiting and I’ve cut it down rather untidily. It’s has two replacement exhaust ‘evaporators’ that inject excess fuel for DPF regeneration but it’s not had any actual DPF or EGR issues. I did change the engine oil lubricating pump inside the sump at 65,000 miles, just in case, because this is a weak point on both 2.2 and 3.2 five cylinder engines.

I've got a xlt model on a 2014 plate and it's awesome. It just feels incredibly strong and well put together. Mine has the enclosed flatbed, which fits my 4 dogs no problem with room to spare. Being separate from the double cab means the inside of the car doesn't smell of wet dog in the winter. I love mine and will upgrade to a newer one in the next couple of years.

Some fellows told me that even though they bought it brandnew it was still money pit. Parts and aftermarket service an issue too.

anyone have anything bad to say about the 2012 3.2 4x4 as im looking to purchase one ?

Ford Ranger XLT 4x4 Auto . Steering issues Transmission issues. Ansa motors in Trinidad always gives you the runaround when you complain about issues whilst vehicle is under warranty.

I just watch a KZread video reviewing a Ranger with over 300k on the OD. They are good reliable utes when serviced regularly

Autos shift like garbage in them. I've had my auto replaced under warranty at 70,000km with very light use in that time. I now change the auto oil every 30-40 thousand kms. Rear main seals are a common fault on them as well. The dreaded EGR coolers can cause catastrophic engine failures due to coolant loss. Also on most of them the wiring that runs over the front timing cover can get damaged due to its placement, so place a bit of rubber chafe tubing as preventative maintenance is good. Apart from that, it tows like a beast and is pretty reliable. Just gotta stay on top of servicing with fuel and oil filters do the gearbox oil every 30,000km and she'll be sweet.

The only thing I Disagree with that you have said is the auto shiffs like garbage my old 2014 Mazda bt Schiff’s Way better than 2021 BT50-, triton and Hilux and the best one I found was the Ranger still with the 3.2 but other than that you hit the nail on the head

Salty comments here?! 2016 pre dpf xlt no issues! Best Ute I’ve ever had!

Thanks for the review mate! As an European I know it.s a suicide mission to own a ute as a daily vehicle but I.m willing to take the risk. For months I.ve been juggling between the VW Amarok and the Ford Ranger, both second hand, both 2012ish, but after seeing this review I.m certainly going for the Ranger!

If you buy one, make sure it has been under sealed or have it under sealed. They aren't sold under sealed in Europe which is not good.

There ist no seal on and inside of the frame anywhere in the world because they hot none in the factory. Every undercoat is done as an extra.

when i was looking for a 4x4 late last year 90% of used 4x4s on the market were ford rangers, thats not a good sign people are getting rid of these things faster than people can buy them once they get to around 160,000 kms

2016 XLT rear seatbelt fault caused a fire, luckily nobody in the car but it was written off and it did it to it's self. 3 weeks later and no resolution with manufacture.

Aren't these mechanically the same as the Mazda BT-50?

Do you think the new 22’ generation will blow everything else out of the water?

I worked next to a ford dealer and every week atleast 4-5 rangers be getting towed in. Didnt ask what the problems where but put me off buying one

My px1 2013 made it to 350k .then got hail damaged and written off.. Only issue was intercooler hose.. It was faultless.. The px2 seemed to have more problems.

This car looks soo cool😀

The thing is that you’ve got to change some parts like the hoses, brake pads, fluids etc based on mileage. Use the best fuel on the market and ford recommended oil for engine health. Have your timing chain kit changed at recommended mileage. Some people insist on leaving them in the engine and that has it’s consequences like engine noise, loss of power. I service before the recommended mileage for good measure. Depending on how dusty the places you drive in are, change your air cleaner accordingly, don’t wait for the service date or mileage. You also get better fuel efficiency and more out of your Ford Ranger. 160,000kms ; Ford Ranger 2.5 XLT from 12th Jan 2013.

All i can say is there a good truck like any other car they do have some issues make shore you keep a eye on your water round 180,000 kilometers very known for the egr to fail an cause it to loose water it done it to my sister's truck an blown a hole through the manifold cost to fix with out labor $3500 definitely keep an eye out happens to every 3.2 hope this helps

Got a 2016 (UK) Wildtrak auto & love it. Only issue so far was the annoying recirculating flap motor noise. I fixed it in 10mins with no parts needed. So far so good.
