Jajajaja great i am the same fall in love whit Ranger.

Pedro Jimenez what a compliment thanks 😂

Agent. K. Thanks 😄. Cheers for watching

Beej O'Dwyer, thanks mate that’s awesome feedback. It was a great day out there and mud sure gets into just about everywhere outside the car and thanks to the dog inside to. 👍

What the fuck is this at 2:38

Arseny Reynolds , wheels hit a big tree root. Caused the the wheels to turn and steering wheel popped out of the hands. Inadvertently hit the horn by accident.

CRAIG MURPHY , Thanks mate that’s an awesome compliment. Cheers for watching

I check cows in mine all the time, this goat goes through everything.

+Ericinferno14 , Thanks Eric!

Louis Barningham cheers mate.

B Roll Offroad thanks heaps for watching and comments. Mud is fun but I prefer the more technical stuff tbh. Nowhere near as much cleaning afterwards. Getting good footage of my own car while driving has its own challenges. The editing part is easy. Cheers

thanks for putting it out! haha i know the feel! filming like survivorman makes the trail take 5x as long! and yea mud is a pain, but everyone wants what they can't have ;-)

@Tekken 7 Gamer why is it cheap cos use and throw 😅😅

Nirmal Maharjan thanks for the compliment and watching the video. Hope your ranger serves you well in Nepal 👍

Michael Toomer keep it going cheers

hamid abdrabo cheers for the comments. Toolangi is known for its mud. Not sure if anyone has noticed but right at the start i fall over while running on the mud so the car handles the slippery stuff a lot better than I do.

Minh Sprint thanks mate!

Thank you 😊

David & Cherene Immel US is getting an updated Ranger I believe but in petrol instead of diesel. Thanks mate 😀

nelson kaiulo thanks

Michael Toomer its an auto transmission right?

nelson kaiulo yes it is

calum aitchison it’s a Rhino4x4 evolution bar with a winch inside. Also improved the approach angle a lot. There are other similar bars on the market as well by Uneek4x4 and GMF if you like that style. Being rear diff lock as standard it goes very well off road. A lot better than people give it credit for!

mark olivares thanks 😃

Jim H. Thanks mate

warriorwal thanks a lot for watching and cheers for the compliment.

Good

Erik Hadinger There are rumors that the Ranger won't have the diesel, but supposedly Ford is in production of a Ranger Raptor that is said to have a diesel.

Vc e de que cdd

David Hewett thanks Mate. The Wildtrak variant comes in Auto only. O would have chosen Auto if given the option. Had my fair share of manual over the years and prefer a auto now. Also for off road they go pretty well as you only have to concentrate on your line. Glad you enjoyed the vid👍

yeah i agree great vehicle

Bharatesh B thanks mate glad you enjoyed.

Sum mud

If it was a Hilux going through I bet you’d be singing a different tune

Bluemts Expose haha that must be a compliment to the car then. Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching.

Matteo Loiacono , grazie. apprezzo il complimento Grazie per aver guardato e commentato

Michael Toomer che camera usi per il video?

Matteo Loiacono Ho usato un hawkeye lucciola 8s con un Zhiyun liscio q gimbal

*ï§ťïmïwïř*

Yup 3.2 diesel

V&G Channel it sure would. Maybe in 5 years if this one blows up 💪🏻

Gmaker202 its a GME bracket to suit the Ranger www.gme.net.au/catalogue/antennas/antenna-mounting-hardware/mb051.aspx

Should have asked what antenna that is as well, looks like a great setup!

Gmaker202 cheers mate. The antennae is a GME stubby 2.1 db. Not the longest range but good in hilly terrain www.gadgetcity.com.au/gme-original-ae4704b-2.1dbi-heavy-duty-uhf-58cm-stubby-antenna-p-3133.html

John Citizen , I use sports mode in 4low when off-road. Only engaged rear diff lock in that bog hole only. I only use it when required. Brake traction control remains on the whole time and when rear diff engaged front brake traction control remained on. I hope that makes sense.

Michael Toomer makes a lot of sense. Thank you so much. I will subscribe to your channel. I just need to work out when is best to disengage traction control. Loose gravel, snow not sure.

John Citizen , Leave traction control (BTC) on in everything except extreme mud/clay and sand. Turn of ESC and ETC if in 4H. In 4L they go off automatically. practicalmotoring.com.au/car-news/2015-ford-ranger-px-mk2-technical-analysis/

Michael Toomer thanks again brother for your info.

KKKK, *NUNCA*

The Ranger Is better than Hilux, in all competitions Ranger aré superior jumping un the sand.

SF Incognito , the bar is from Rhino4x4. Ordered and installed in their headquarters in Mornington Victoria. Cheers

chris blatherwick , They rubbed sometimes with the standard bumper but that’s because off the -12 offset of the wheel. With a positive offset you shouldn’t rub with a 2” lift at all. To be safe I would go with a +20 offset and you should fit 33” wheels easily with no rubbing. I hear the Hankook Dynapro MTs are good and I have seen one perform in the mud. The guy running them loves them but personally I didn’t think they cleaned that well in the clay. The Prado in one of my videos is running them and you can see for yourself. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CFTzhC98gHA.html

Excellent, thank you for the feedback! The Black Rhino Sidewinder as a 12 offset (already have them on the truck now with a set of AT tyres fitted). Will get two 275-65-18 Hankook's in 33" and see how she runs. Keep on with the vids, they are truly awesome!!!

Chris, my local tyres shop said 285/65r18 can be done on non-lifted ranger granted positive 15 ish offset wheels are used. Hasnt validated that myself.

Lcr34 they will probably be alright for most driving but may still rub off-road under flex and at full steering lock. Mine has plenty of clearance around the tyres but in certain terrain they sometimes rub. I’m looking at changing my wheels to a positive 18 soon. My rims are to wide and tyres prone to rolling of the rim easily.

Hi Lc34 thanks for the feedback and the effort, i will give the new setup a go and she what she does off roading. The 12 offset would seem to be within the ballpark figure

Qeldroma3111 I love the traction offroad and on-road handling however I'm afraid they don't seem tough enough for some of the offroad abuse I have thrown at them. So far I have had one sidewall puncture. I also have a lot of chunks missing from the sidewalls of the other tyres that have not gone all the way through. Also i have had a lot of air leaks in then caused by dirt and grit getting inside the bead. This is because due to the thin sidewall and lack of rubber or rim-guard over the edge of the rim, dirt has been able to force its way inside. This is more of an issue because I'm running 9" rims that poke out past the car. I think 8" rims would be a lot better with these tyres in the 285 size anyway. I have done 30k kms on these tyres so far and I estimate they will last for about 50-60k kms on my car. All in all I think they are a great tyre for what they are marketed for and priced well. However I won't be buying these again and will look for a more aggressive tyre next with a 3 ply sidewall instead. If your going to do a lot off offroad with these just he extra careful where you out your wheels I guess. Hope that helps and thanks for watching

Michael Toomer Guess Im glad that I have full replacement certificates on all 5 of mine. Also I got all 5 with certificates for $1000 US. Glad to hear they perform well. Thanks for the response.

ImAustinConway what exactly are you referring to in your question. Happy to answer if I can.

Michael Toomer The Ranger

ImAustinConway The PX2 Ranger model came out late 2015. Mine is a 2017 build. Hope that helps

Lloyd Roach, Cheers for the comments. I’m running 17” fuel beast wheels -12 offset. Tyres are Dick Cepek Extreme MT.

Great rig. What are those tyre sizes on it?

Nam Man , they are 285/70r17

Mason Coppens I have a ironman foam cell pro 2” lift, ironman rear protection bar and Uneek4x4 rock sliders

Thanks, and also are you running a rhino bull bar

Mason Coppens Yes it is, check the description for all the mods and brands 👍

CHE isaac , I keep a shovel and pair of black recovery boards (Maxtrax) back there. I have never needed the recovery boards either but I carry them just in case.

Ramizan Ramlee no chance in the bog holes but on level ground in muddy ruts you should be able to if you have the clearance.

@@michaeltoomer4090are the new F by 2 ford rangers just the 4 wheel drive package without 4 wheel drive? If they are, that’s the one I really want!

Reece Clancy I wish. The car is sending me broke :(

PILMA J5 Prime , thanks !

and why 17s and not 18s?

Matthew Curd hey mate. Sorry for the late reply. I find the Rhino bar great as winch bar as looms good. Never tested its strength but I wouldn’t want to test it. I would suggest a different bar if your worries about animal strikes. I actually run 16” wheels now. They air down much better off road than the 17s which means more traction
