My Wife and i are spending the weekend in Hahndorf and have already been to the Ford dealer in Mt Barker/Totness and looked at the current gen XLS 3.2 in silver, they were closing so we couldnt do anything more than look but it got us talking about our options.
We also looked at a new GWM CannonX which we could have for 42kda and the Wife didnt mind it as it felt comfortable as the seats are a bit softer.

As i said earlier in the thread we wont be doing anything until early next year but the point is having shown her the teaser vid it got us talking about it and into a dealership.
**** me you campaigners are hard to please, bag the company and cop ****, give them a go and cop ****, not sure why we'd bother to be honest.
Perhaps you could give Ford a call and tell them how clever you are in hanging **** on a potential customer, i mean they'll get fanboi's like you in the seat without wasting money on teaser vids, if theyre looking at growing the product something tells me im in their intended target audience, im sure they'll be rapt with your efforts.

I hope you buy a GWM, good luck

It’s not all about Hilux sales here

Rumor is that Toyota is working hard to put Tacoma and Hilux on same platform but
I suspect those two a couple of years out, so just the lead time Ranger needs.

Whole package is important here, more than just the V6 engine, JMO, the smoothness of a
premium SUV, Ford discovers the secret sauce for a seriously quiet interior, blow people’s minds….

Guys and Ladies

BENT_8 has been smacked for his previous indiscretions about bagging Ford and I have to admit, unlike some others I've dealt with over time, he took it on the chin and accepted it.

I think he has since curbed that posting style, however, he still allowed to voice his opinion in a fair and reasonable manner.

Once again I ask everyone to allow the mods to moderate the forum. At the end of the day, we want everyone to log and enjoy the experience.

Slightly off topic,

I’ll be interested to see if there’s a touch more hip and shoulder room,
I think that’s deserved when you see how big the Maverick is against
the previous yank Ranger.

Well that front on the maveric has gotta be the best view of how the rangers new nose will be like

This.. would love an EB ranger but fear it’ll be only offered in raptor (if it’s offered at all). Hope the TD6 is at least offered in xlt as a compromise as I fear a 10k price hike across the range and that’ll probably put Raptor/wildtrak out of reach for me.

I remember the first time I played around on Ford US's configurator for F-150's and was staggered how much more they charged for the 3.0L diesel over the 3.5L V6 Ecoboost and 5.0L V8 engine options. V8 was under $1000 extra and 3.5V6L Ecoboost was about $1500 more while diesel was nearly $5K more.

XR Martin · 12-09-2021, 12:36 PM

Wonder if this new model will finally have adjustable reach steering like the 1988 EA Falcon had.

I’m not surprised that the Diesel F150 died, Ford all but kept it a secret and did practically
zero to encourage sales, all it was really was an mpg competition between Ford and Ram
but when GM brought the Silvero 3.0 I-6 diesel, Ford seemed to lose any interest in the 3.0 PS.
It was less about customers and more about bragging rights for class leading fuel economy.

Now if Ford wanted F150 to have more global appeal, it and Expedition would have the 4.4 V8TD.

It's like they were trying to keep the production line going for some reason

And as an answer to the Ram V6 diesel.

Land Rover paid for the US federalisation, easy cash but mostly trying to beat Ram Ecodiesel fuel economy

Is it just me or do the doors look like carry overs from PX?

They certainly do look that way.

naddis01 · 08-10-2021, 10:04 AM

The basic shape of the tail lights looks very similar as well.

Nope. New body lines. A pillar looks to have a shallower angle too.

Thanks for chiming in with that. For a second there I was thinking perhaps the new Ranger was going to be a little less new than expected.

I've had a bugger of a week and had to read your post 5 times. Each time thinking what on earth is Boss talking about with a pillar being shallower....then the last 5 brain cells kicked in when my arm slipped off the office chair arm rest...I realised you meant the A-pillar of the windscreen...

simon varley · 08-10-2021, 08:47 PM

note the centre brake light in the tailgate handle not on the roof

simon varley · 08-10-2021, 08:48 PM

and the shark fin roof aerial

BENT_8 · 08-10-2021, 09:36 PM

Raptor guards front and rear, widen the hip line of the doors to blend, a few new creases in the tailgate, some subtle cosmetic additions/alterations, the American front end all differentiated by the engine code.

What month do you think Ford will come out with more info on the new ranger. Is that something you think they will announce the specs this year?

Hoping sooner rather than later. My dad has a deposit at his local dealer pending this information…. He’s tentatively booked an xlt V6 diesel (if available, pending price and specs) to replace his 2016 Triton. The dealer has no idea when they will know more…

Soon.

FPV8U · 13-10-2021, 08:53 PM

A couple of photos showing the front of the new Ranger getting around on Instagram this evening, very much Baby F Series front end rather than the Maverick sort of styling thankfully, I’m sold, will be making some enquires re an XLT once the power train details are released.

naddis01 · 13-10-2021, 08:57 PM

These ones...
