Love this car - great for travelling & towing! – We bought our Ford Ranger 4x4 second hand in May. It had only done 56000km and was in very good condition when we purchased from a local dealer. It has a canopy, side steps, we installed a 12v plug in the back tray to run a fridge. We drove 13000km up to Darwin and then around the west coast back home from SA. It Did not skip a beat. We had new… Read more

tyres out on before we left, it was serviced before we picked up the car so we did make sure everything was good before we left. So reliable, so comfortable. Great big engine for towing, easy to tow with. Good on fuel, and had been told many a story by travellers about breakdowns etc - we felt safe and had no worries about breaking down. Only thing is the screen in the Front of the car could be bigger. I know the next model actually is. The aerial doesn’t actually seem to be the best either, doesn’t pick up much when travelling out of towns. But very happy with the car.

Great Vehicle. Ticks all the boxes – I have just bought a 2022 manual PX3 XLT to replace my 2017 PX2. I got an order in for the very last week of production before the "Next Gen" horror story. I have found my PX2 to be ultra reliable having had not a thing go wrong with it in 5 years and 150K of ownership except a cracking rear tub which was fixed under warranty, which includes… Read more

several very rough outback trips including Simpson Desert, Anne Beadell, Canning Stock Route and the like. For a ute, I find it comfortable, well appointed, and the tech is appropriate without being ridiculously over the top like the "Next Gen". It drives remarkably car like, given the agricultural underpinnings, and has, in my opinion, the best calibration for traction control in the business. Looking forward to starting again with the PX3, and hope to get 10 - 15 years out of it, so that I never have to drive something like the "Next Gen".

Do not buy a ranger or any ford – Do not buy from Ford Australia I bought a brand-new ranger, I loved this Ute, always looked after it very minimal Ks it was my pride and joy. Ford dealerships have damaged it by poor workmanship. Ford refuse to take accountability or fix the issues, I’m left with a very expensive lemon and am out thousands of dollars now. I would never buy a ford again after this experience. After every visit my car is worse than before. case # 200473237 Show details

Disappointed – Ford customer care are clueless, useless, rude and incompetent. I was promised compensation for loss of income after my Ranger took almost 2 months to fix under warranty. I was always ahead of them with knowing were my vehicle was at and I would be telling ford what’s happening. I supplied more than enough information to prove loss of income… Read more

then they denied me anyway after a lengthy delay. Further more I have made several attempts to follow this up, every time this takes weeks/months with super slow replies from them which always ends with a false email address and disconnected call back number given to me. Used to love Ford, but I went and bought another vehicle this time.

Big Issues with Service upgrade – fryed the computer doing upgrade to maps during service ! informed I need a new CPU at my cost !! I asked did I make a mistake bringing it back to Byrne Ford Kedron for a Service , Manager replied yes Sir ! As part of the service we upgrade maps wich may incur issues with the CPU Show details

Ranger – Had an issue with my Ranger but the warranty covered everything, Rich in service was fantastic.

Worst Ute ever – Ford has changed the engine on this vehicle twice and put me in a Very dangerous situation when the Brakes Fail Due to engine failure

Lemon car going for its 3 Rd engine in 5 years – Purchased In 2017 new from dealer Wild track 3.2 Ranger , at 19k and 6 months of age in feb 2018 the engine failed without any warning leaving us stranded in South Australia. The ford dealer in Elisabeth South Australia told me this was vary rare occurrence which I later found out the this was a normal occurrence with the ford ranger 3.2 The… Read more

vehicle had a engine replacement after 7 weeks of constantly ringing and arguing with Ford Australia who made out that It was my fault and these cars were solid , which is total nonsense. In 2020 the car did an EGR valve again without any warning and that was another task in run around by dealers and Ford Australia just to find one that fitted as none in stock due to high demand ? Clearly another issue with the engines .Let’s fast forward to Jan 3rd 2023 , while taking off again on a well earned trip to Qld , we departed that morning and as we crossed the border into Nsw at 6 pm on the 3rd of January 2023 the car without any warning at all blew the second engine a week after having been serviced and no issues picked up at time of service . Again Ford Australia is playing the our product is the best and clearly your at fault as the owner and this is extremely rare , well it is not rare it is very common and as a business owner I have spoken to approximately 35 who have rangers customers since Jan 2023 and they have all had engine failures at some point with ghe 3.2 engines. Ford Australia again is playing tennis with the issue that I want resolved The car isn’t fit for purpose and the salesman knew exactly my requirements and assured me that the vehicle would meet all my expectations and some , well it’s not met anything. I have open a case with Ford Australia and under the Australian Consumer Guarantee act I have demanded a refund or replacement vehicle And as Ford Australia is true to their commitment to customers, they are again playing tennis with the issue instead of resolving it and admitting their is a problem with the 3.2 engines I would like to hear of anyone else who has had problems with the 3.2 rangers and I’m actually thinking seriously about going to a current affairs like they did with new ranger and highlight the issue on a national level If you would like to share your experience with your ford ranger 3.2 Contact me at [Contact Details Removed]

What a Lemon – Vibrating Machine!! This car has gone back 4 times now to Ford. originally They diagnosed it with a Drive Shaft problem that they told me 1 in 4 had. it still vibrates when accelerating. They have now told me its because of the leaf springs and can't be fixed. They confirmed a lot of people have this problem. The anti collision works some days and… Read more

not others. Ford said its because of an update they are waiting on. due February next year. Pain in the butt as it keeps going off when there is no traffic near me. Lane control system is slow and painful. can't be turned off either, so you are stuck with it. If you indicates the wheel doesn't let you change lanes for a few seconds. Sun visors are like tooth picks. Turn them to the side and they don't even reach half way down the window. No light with the mirror in either sun visor, wife's not happy. Comes with a lot pof "upgraded and New Tech" problem is you can not use any of it while the ca ris moving. all seems a bit childish not being able to use things. especially when the passenger could be doing it. Rear seat belt warnings go off when you have one person sitting in the back. I have been back for 4 software updates and its still happening!!. Wireless charger is only 5 amp. so it actually doesn't charge. it just maintains battery levels. Bit useless if you want to charge your phone! I have had 4 different 4x4 and this is the worst. Would be ok if it was around $45K but certainly not worth the $75K paid. . The guys at Ford have been great and have tried to help with everything, but that doesnt make up for the poor product. NEW Gen should be called Old useless Gen!!

heavy fuel cosumption , – 11/2015 2.2ltr excellent ute , average 7.1-7.2 ltrs per 100km, highway loaded. plenty torque 4/2020 2.2ltr heap of crap. heavy fuel average 9.5-10ltrs per 100km, highway loaded, less torque. software issues with info system, collision alert, scrubbing front tyres , no camber adjustment left. Very BAD UTE. Show details

Reliable – Bought new March 2021 from dealer in Cooma. Was $3000 cheaper than Canberra. Used that saving for a bullbar. For servicing, they pickup and drop off at no cost. I just pay for the service. Drive 50km per day and currently have 27,000km in roughly 18 months. Mechanically sound. Hilly commute, averaging 8.7l/100km. Has plenty of power, excellent… Read more

infotainment. Only problem experienced is dash light illuminating speedo intermittently extinguishes. Perhaps loose connection. I've never had any engine or transmission issues.

Can’t use it for farm work – Too many chimes and alarms.. can’t open and close gates on a farm without rear seat occupancy alarms, door alarms, seatbelt alarms. Rubbish and annoying to drive.. doesn’t even come with the option of 4x4 tires from the dealership

CRAP Warranty – AC belt broke at 86000 km. Damaged timing belt cover and some other components. Had just been serviced two months ago. Ford will not cover under warranty despite car being less than three years old. Only purchased Ford as had decent warranty period. NEVER AGAIN a Ford Show details

reliable and versatile – Been a very reliable vehicle and lovely to drive and extremely convenient. I also like how customisable they are and the amount of after market features that are available. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a 4x4 ute Show details

Love the Ranger! – Had the Ranger for 2 years now with no problems at all. 22,000 klms. Used as a work vehicle (builder) and to tow my 2.5 ton boat, which it does with ease. Averaging 9.5 litres per 100 klm. Just completed a 4,000 klm trip. More comfortable and refined compared to the competition. 4yrs 63,000 klm update. Just came back from yet another 3,000… Read more

klm trip. The ranger has been faultless. The seats very comfortable, effortless acceleration while overtaking at speeds over 100ks. The radar cruise control is brilliant. The best car I have ever driven on long trips.

I love my Ford PX 2 Ranger – General use with getting fire wood, taking the dogs for a swim / walk in the bush, site seeing etc. Used 3 to 4 times a week for the above. Services are done every 12 months at our regional / closest Ford Dealer Show details

Work hard and play hard – The 2018 Ranger XLT ticks all the boxes. A daily work horse, family transport and weekend getaway of 4x4 driving and camping. Regular getaway towing a camper 2.4 tonne and for work a 2.8 tonne trailer, it has run faultlessly in 3 1/2 years with now 170000 km on the clock. It is serviced by Ford every 15000 km. Show details

This is the best vehicle ever strong and reliable – Commuting and family travels off road and use it everyday , I get it serviced every six months and no issues with my car , I I go interstate or camping I usually we’ll get my car serviced and checked over by my machanic for safety reasons especially driving with my 3 children Show details

Fantastic vehicle with everything we need! – We bought this ute in 2020 and it has been brilliant. We initially went out to purchase an isuzu dmax but after test driving the dmax we found it quite rough so decided to test out the ranger. This PXIII model ranger is such a smooth ride, comfortable for long trips. The tray has been very handy for a number of reasons. We are very happy we… Read more

decided on tray over style side. The voice command feature is great, press button and tell the car to call someone. Our other vehicle which is top of the line in that model doesnt have this. Cup holders in the back seats is a nice addition to. The fuel consumption has been excellent. Overall we have found this vehicle to be A+ we cant fault it.

Great all round vehicle – Vehicle used every day as a runaround and twice a year to tow a 2.75 tonne caravan. Logbook service every 12 months and engine oil and filter changed mid service period. Purchased Feb 2017. ECU dyno tuned for a 20% torque and power increase. Automatic transmission cooler and bypass valve fitted. Canopy, bullbar and upgraded suspension. Great tow tug. Show details

A waste of Money – After having this vehicle and putting in a complaint about with Ford dealers and Head Office about the problem with and getting no were with them and even on this web site. I found the problem myself so it just goes to say that they do not know what to look for even after telling them, they just right you off with it and hope that you go away as… Read more

they think that you do not know anything at all, well i will never buy another Ford again as they they not match up to what they say about them.

Good so far – I've had my Ranger from new & it has 50,000km on it. It's used every work day for commuting. I tow 4 different trailers from a Caravan to a 2 ton Hydraulic tipper. It's been the best twin cab I've had to date as far as long distance comfort goes. I really like how the Ranger drives & the comfortable interior has the best front seats I've ever… Read more

used. The adaptive cruise & speed limiter are fabulous as is the climate control. The Sync 3 infotainment system is in the business. There are horror stories out there about Ford's service & warranty and that concerns me. I worry about the longevity of it too. I've had all Toyota's in the past & they've been fantastic but the new one is a dog hence the purchase of the Ranger. Would I recommend a Ranger to a friend? Probably not, I don't trust Ford or their dealers & once it's out of warranty I won't be going back to my arrogant Ford dealers service dept.

I’ve converted – Replaced my 2015 Ford Everest with the 2021.25 Wildtrak Biturbo for towing purposes and family getaways. I never thought a Ute would be something our family would use, but with all the upgrades and options, this was a no brainer. Show details
