Ford Ranger 2021 review: FX4 Max - We test the not-quite Raptor off road! 

Not everyonecan afford the raptor,not everyone wants an XLT

Great Review And Road Test Tractions and Torque. Rate 9..

I just bought a fx4max which I was advised by all the brochures that it had a 240 volt inverter it didn't have this item. I rang Ford and was advised it did not fit this item after the 18 June 2021. ALL Dealers were advised of this change I was told by Ford.

Next time you do an offroad test just drive about 5kms further down the Forest road and use Butterfly Rd quarry. It has much longer and steeper hills.

If you think of it the Wildtrak costs about the same as the Fx4 Max and that is the comfort luxury Ranger variant. Until recently thr Raptor was the peak 4x4 and the XLT was already quite good. I think Ford is going for this as a offroad focused variant counterpart to the wildtrak. You get great offroad performance and suspension and don't have to aim for the Raptor. Plus towing capacity and load is uncompromised I love this Fx4 and will be getting one

I'm a little bit confused about this. Is it actually better than the XLT? Need a comparison video, I want to see the difference between the XLT, FX4 and the Raptor.

I chose the wildtrak X over this but not for any reason other than on road a lot more than anything else. If you look at the American show on the trucks they took the same truck but with the petrol engine and compared it to the Toyota and the top end Jeep of which they expected the jeep to dominate. The ford really surprised in this slow climbing test where it easily accounted for both the other cars. The tech was far superior and this is how it won the test.

Having owned 4x4 for some time, converting new ones days after driving it off the lot, it is nice to have dealer warranties on after market parts that is considered standard for the model. Yes, most of these options you can do yourself and then when they break, you also can eat the cost, been there done that. Ability to get the 2.0 bi turbo is nice considering in my market, XLT isn’t offered unless you get the Wildtrak which I am not a fan of. In many ways it isn’t the Raptor less, it is the Wildtrak off road addition. Not a fan of the roll bar in the back, step rails are nice and also ground clearance and tire option is a nice stock touch. Stickers, they are optional, so not really worried about them as I wouldn’t want them. Haven’t seen any locally here with the stickers but I am sure they appeal to someone, like the guy getting the truck for his son/daughter that is able to catch them about “I know your the only truck that has those horrible stickers, I know it was you skipping class” haha. Other than that, I can see why Ford let the review truck be the one with the optional stickers as they are going to have to mark that truck down as a promo anyway

Great review, Crafty not like others car review, I don’t think cup holder are that important need to spend time with

65k for a 2015 ute. You get aux switches so it makes up for it.

Looks good like the raptor, but with some extra towing and payload. I'd never need the raptors off road capability anyway so a good trade off for me. Would want a stronger engine for highway use...maybe in the next generation...

Says not a fan of stickers *spends $750 of decals

Needs rear air vents and rear USB in the Ranger

I see Craft i click like 👍👍😎

Turned off when I saw the orange stripes. Na.

The ranger wildtrak is the only one with Dust sealing tailgate and you can not buy the wildtrak rubber from spare parts this isn't acceptable from Ford.

Those are expensive stickers.

Can anyone tell me what the service intervals are as well as road driven tire pressure?

good review, i have a 21.25 xlt towing 7x4 aluminum box trailer light load 75 liter fridge dual battery 270 darche awning in the tub and im getting 8.3 liter form Nelson Bay to wollombi down to gosford and back to nelson bay no 4 wheel driving in that but some dirt roads, on the hwy at a 110km its doing 7.8 liters

Imagine a world where Raptor as it is but with a touch of Geely's features

Small engines are rubbish in big cars. When I buy my next 4wd I will not waste my money on a vehicle with a small engine.

Good like my AU

So-so

Pretty sick.

I get the impression you cannot drive off road a talk coherently at the same time. Do the chat stationary and paint your comments with the moving b roll shots.

Would rather an amarok

Here in the Philippines the fx4 max dont have ha rare camera and day time running light
