FYI - My 2017 Everest with the 3.2ltr and 170k on the OD is running perfectly. Keep your services up and show some love.

So no mention of the wet belt in the 2.0 .......

The wet belt camshaft drives are not mentioned. The 2.0L bi turbo has this feature which can cause serious problems
I had the first 2.2 ranger when I lived in South Africa and had no problems whatsoever, but I did only do 90,000 km with the vehicle and it towed my caravan effortlessly. I preferred driving this to the C Class I was also driving at the time

We should also mention the oil pump (needs replacement around 180-210k km), EGR cooler, radio unit (breaks around being 7-8 years old), rear camera harness and the heated wind screen.

Hi, from South Africa.
I own a 2018 single cab 2.2 with a sixspeed manual. 153 000 kilos on the clock, and no problems at all. Rust is something we don't know about, dry climate of course. I converted my truck's interior to black from the original Ford off-white, by spray painting the off-white interior panels. The result is no glare in the sun inside the cab. It is my daily driver, so it is a work truck and not used by mom for the school run.

I hear the wet time belt is a gem.😂

Just got myself the 2.0L Thunder version. Love it so far but I come from driving a hatchback, so it feels like amazing looking over everyone rather than  up at everyone. Seems to be quite nimble when in S mode, but have been using the normal mode as no need for that.

Hello, watching from Zambia 🇿🇲. Got a Ford ranger Wildtrak in 2021 with the 3.2L engine with the 6 Auto. Excellent vehicle no issues whatsoever.
I also have a 2014 XLT Ranger with the same engine but 6 speed manual. I had the clutch changed, both front wheel bearings, and the tensioner.
No turbo issues, no engine issues whatsoever. I have taken note of the things to look out for thanks to your video. Another thing the Rangers we get here in Africa do not have adblue and DPFs.
Great video 🙌🏾💯

I’ve done 90,000 in my 2019 ranger, & haven’t had any problems yet. I have it serviced as per the scheduling. As I live in the sticks, I drive 3 miles on a narrow lane before I do any sort of acceleration, so the engine, gearbox & turbo are well warmed up, then a 3 mile low speed cool down before it gets turned off.

The clan has taken ranger issues that have already been sorted out by ford.
Where is your critisism of the 200 serious, transmission overheating, exessive oil consumption ect. All cars have issues, toyota owners just dont share theirs because they always bragging about their reliability.

Sometimes you think best just to drive a beater, the problems new cars are having is ridiculous, it's a wonder they last for a test drive.
Do they design these cars just to mess with mechanics and buyers.

Upgrade water pipes all of them.
Keep oil clean and only 5w30 full synthetic cauz oil feeder pipe to turbo is very thin.
Keep an eye on injectors when they start smoking alot at start up even hot eng.
Fit the water sensor in to the water bottle. For it only has one sensor in the junction pipe.
Weld up the torque converter flex plate. C02 Mig weld..
Fit a bigger oil cooler to the auto transmission.
These are the main issues I've had and repaired on these rangers here in SA. Take my advise or leave it up to you. These issues cauz complete engine failure and transmission replacement 😢

Wish I'd seen this video before I bought mine 😢

Hi there, this is the second highest sellling vehicle ( full stop out of ANY vehicle) in Australia, behind toyota hilux, SO easier to call the reliability numbers here where they are more commonly used for what they were built for , probably a lot more than in the UK, i am sure. Well, like all cars, some are lemons, however mostly they are a pretty good bit of kit. My first 3.2L 6 speed was pretty much put through the paces, towing, off road and load carrying for about 25% of its 190,000kms , no issues outside of a slight engine oil leak at 103,000Ks ( fixed under warranty) then nothin else ever wrong. My second, i stayed with the 3.2 ( rather wait a few years to see how the twin turbo smaller donk 10speed stacks up) if ya dig it, buy it, like any car, u may get a shitter or u may get 300,000 + out of her. ( yes there are plenty of those here), definitely get a  near nearly used one with about 40,000ks with an excellent service record and a genuine reason for being sold, if one of these things is a lemon, they usually display fuckedness early, if smooth and healthy at 40,000ks, then they should be good for next hundred ( my own experience based opinion only)- to me, getting a bit dated, but got great character, great fun to drive and capability plus. Very cool trucks, both washed and filthy

I buy Ford with confidence.  Just maintain your vehicle.
More than 20 year Ford experience. ❤❤❤❤❤

Heard some models have wet belt problems .

The switches for Ranger heated seats (at least until 2015) are very prone to failure, meaning the seat heater comes on all the time when the switch fails. This is due to a spring snapping inside the switch. It happens even if you've only used the switch a couple of times in some cases. Replacement springs for the switch are available on eBay for about 25 quid or so, but you have to take the switch apart to fit them. If you want to buy a replacement from Ford instead, my understanding is that these are about 50 quid a piece for the complete switch.

No mention of the wet belt ???

I thought they were rubbish due to.the wet belt ?

Fantastic review pal. Looking at a 2022 2ltr one. Thanks a lot.
