Is The Four-Cylinder Good Enough? (Ford Ranger Sport Bi-Turbo 2.0 2022 review)

Could you please test the WildtrakX

I worry about anyone reviewing a truck, and keeps calling it a car.... :)

Good quality production ... thank you chasing cars ❤

The flip down arm rest is a balls up 😂

Beutiful looking Ranger that one ❤

For those interested in how Australian prices for these are inflated here is the price in Thailand for a bi turbo Wildtrak. AUD 58,400 There’s no v6 here yet.

Do you need à Ford is more appropriate .

Another city dweller putting on outdoor gear and making out as an off-road enthusiast.

3k upgrade to 3l!? its 9000 for the everest sport wish it was 3k for the everest haha

For me, the V6 would cost an extra $1800 of fuel in 5 years. Cost vs performance, and I'm still in the fence 😐

my 4.4 v8 Range rover is better thanks 32MPG 0-60 6seconds what the hell

A 2 ton 4-cylinder ah? lol!!!

I will keep my v6 amarock it is much better than both of these 😄

I don't need the V6 ...... I need the V8!

How much did Ford pay for this "Review"? 🤔

Sorry but heated Seats are just not applicable to Australia, (maybe in some snow resorts or winter in Tasmania)
I mean the car is fully warmed up and heater on cab is like 22*C when you drive off in morning seats will be like 15-20*C.

After all as its Turbo you cant Just drive off in morning until engine at full temp, well you can but you CANNOT use boost until oil is atleast 75-80*C
Which means about no more than 2000 rpm in gear.

Unless you dont care if turbo dies in 100,000km then kills engine when it grenades itself.
Considering good modern turbos last Well over 350,000 KM when looked after.

I was looking at the road thinking that it was very familiar. Then it dawned on me, it’s the Honda facility at St. Ives. I used to work for the local council that took care of it between the police no longer using it and Honda coming in. Did quite a few flying laps in various vehicles after hours 😂. Great fun long ago

4 cyl is good, (Hilux and DMax). The ranger TT four pot is a piece of junk.

Definitely the povo version

Do you recommend installing an oil catch can for the biturbo engine? Will it void your warranty? Cheers

Lol, you're not 6 foot. I am 6'1 and there's zero room behind that seat.

Can this truck be ordered with a heated steering wheel?

Put a timing chain instead of belt

If you get the Bi Turbo with 10 speed it is not slow at all 'for a ute' because the very low gear and close ratio, plus a few overdrive gears. I test drove a 2.0 Bi turbo 10AT Everest here in Thailand and am surprised by the acceleration from 0-120km/h. Once reached 120km/h the overdrive gear settle the engine speed down to about 1500rpm, can bearly hear the diesel, more wind noise and road noise, which are also minimal at this speed. For long ride it should be pleasant.
The weaker 2 liter with 6AT is a very different story though.
The new Raptor with the 3.0L twinturbo V6 is a beast. It is not sportscar fast but it is a supertruck.

Is it true with prolonged exposure to water crossings and corrugations the electric steering rack fails and a new genuine ford ranger electronic steering rack costs 8 to 10 grand if you can find one ?

I got my 4cyl Wildtrak and its friggin amazing., Sure the V6 would be nice but the extra power and 4A isnt a massive deal breaker.

IMO if you want to wait and pay the extra, go for the V6 but the 4banger can tow and carry just as much as the V6 and is insanely capable. I only ever thought that a motorbike would leave me grinning after a day on the road but this thing is amazing.

As long as it tows with ease and it is reliable. Thats all good to me

The biturbo Ford 2.0 with the 10sp is a fantastic unit, simply all you need in a car like this, including Everest.

So then why not just buy the top spec GWM, isn’t it a 2 litre turbo diesel for under $47000?

So Ford moved the wheelbase 50mm forward so that they could fit a Hybrid Electric motor in that 50mm space. So the Hybrid version is coming.

What are you on

yes yes ranger performance

Imagine the amount of bogun tradies tailgating aggressively now Thier utes can actually do 0-100 at the speed of general traffic flow.

They are a lot better than the previous model. I’ve order the wildtrak but would have liked to have seen the top dash glovebox on the XLT also for my staff and a headsup display on the wildtrak don’t know why they didn’t do this as standard.

Omgggggggg yesssss redline the behemoth and make it work for it

2020 Ranger Raptor here and 28k km on the odo. More than happy with the 2.0l biturbo. The vehicle is already huge and tall and I do not need to be any quicker and faster for its size. Rhe new one is too bulky, but I like the full time 4wd and the tilted steering wheel, thats all.

The Ford ranger does not come in a V6 look up your vehicles before you talk shit about them

Next time do the review of XLT bi turbo,will yo?

I thought the ranger came with a 2.3 and would do 0-60mph is 5 seconds? Edit is this a 2.0l or a 2.3?

Really wished you had the two side by side. From the comments you made at the end, it sounds like you are assuming the V6 will be better because it is on paper. Doesn't sound you've actually compared the two side by side.

That busy looking front and knobbly grill looks like it'll be a bastard of a cleaning job.

Can someone tell me why when Tom pulled the shift into position it retracted forward without him touching it ?
Cheers in advance

The load testing request as mentioned on other comments. Pick up a 2nd hand 1000;t water container (will fit in the tub), put in the tub empty and fill it with water. there is your load. you can even change/adjust the load easily. Then strap it down. Tests a lot of items for anyone actually going to use these utes/trucks for work or the occasional large load. Just an Idea for testing.

Took my 2017 Everest into service and they gave me a new Ranger loaner and I can tell you the new model is leaps and bounds better, so much better I'm now considering an upgrade :)

Where are you getting the information that the Ford Logo on the Wildtrak is black? I thought it was only the Raptor that got the black Ford logo.

goodgood

The biggest advantage of the V6 other than the full time 4WD is NVH levels. It's a far smoother, quieter and nicer drive than the 2.0L. If you chip and exhaust the V6 (Not for everyone) you will wake it up. I also think long term re-sale value will be far better with the V6.

V6 Ranger good but a five liter v8 would be perfect

Rear arm rest... pull the tab UP, not OUT.

This segment makes no sense. It’s not a sports car. It’s huge and rides worse than a suv and it stops slower than a tank. It had a Tesla like central screen for people who work in mud. I can’t anymore with people.
