My first thought as well tbh. At least it won't be crazy modified. Personally I would have gone with a Triton as the mechanicals are pretty robust from what I've seen with very few issues reported. Part of the reason I bought a Pajero Sport.

@@4x4CampingandAdventures Just got back from a trip and I didn't use 90% of the stuff I took with me. I don't run a fridge so a headlamp and a phone battery bank was all I needed for the whole week and the battery I could charge off USB when we were out driving. Even my brother in law who runs drawers and has all of the crap in them the whole time is thinking about getting rid of them and using the boxes that I use in mine. Carrying all of that weight around when 95% of the time a vehicle isn't off road seems a bit pointless really and it seems that most want to cart their house around with them. So much really lightweight quality gear around but you will pay for it.

Decent choice. Keeping it light is key. I’m getting about 9.6 L/100km from my Lux with steel bull bar, tub canopy and 31.5’s so not much worse. Maybe just go 1 size taller on the tyres for clearance. Shouldn’t give you too many issues and shouldn’t lose much power.

I think the size I looked at is 285/70/17 or a 32.4 decent size and will give a touch more clearance

Also I just purchased a wheel and tyre package for the Ranger mate 18s and 32.7 inch tyres slightly taller than factory and a little wider with a 25-30mm lift I’ll be well in the eyes of the law and insurance

How will mods effect the warranty, that was the problem with the Y62 right? Could this be a factor in why you choosing to not put a bumper on? (Because Ford said the same thing Nissan did)

@4x4CampingandAdventures

Жыл бұрын

So I’ll go into more detail in a future video but a bull bar won’t effect warranty they sell them installed from factory, the mods were picked to keep two things 1: legal reasons and insurance 2: warranty work so keeping it as close to factory as possible will be let in less issues down the track for the 5 year factory warranty.

So from one Lemon to another? 😂😂

dude fords customer support is junk, and that maters because those things break, here in nz ford carry 2 engines in stock for them at the dealer level, sorry to be negative but as a mechanic who has seen many rangers on tow trucks, and seen many people burned by them. ask any towie even in auz. the worst thing as they break with normal use, i would suggest you get approval from ford IN WRITING that what you do wont affect your warranty. the bi turbo engine was particulaly bad when towing, in fact before the v6 came out ford here wouldnt sell one to you if you told them you wanted to tow saying wait for the v6 you will blow th 2.0.

I understand that every car has a story, but ford seems to have more negatives compared to others. Isuzu has their DPF issues and cracked engine bay, which is about to head into class action lawsuit.
