Ford Ranger 2022 Owner Reviews

The adaptive cruise control with lane keep is great especially when sitting in stop-start traffic (car stops and goes by itself). The tow settings are also a big step forward.Tyre pressure read-out is great and (surprisingly) very accurate.Very well designed interior. Only suggestion is addition of a phone holder . Why don’t carmakers integrate one into the design?The V6 is an awesome motor. I previously had a Nissan Navara ST-X 550 and loved it. The Ford is much better off the mark and the electronics give it a smoother feel. It's great to know you have power to spare when you need it.After 50000km my average fuel consumption is 8.7L/100km. This includes towing aproximately 6000km and a couple of trips in the bush.Apart from the occasional screen crash it hasn’t missed a beat

Very good. The lane assist and front collision avoidance are easy to use and extremely useful on long highway trips. Another good feature is the wireless phone charging. Connectivity is simple. The all around cameras and sensors are a great assistance when parking in tight places. The multimedia screen is large which makes it easy to see maps, etc. I have taken five adults on a 1700km round trip and they all commented positively on the amount of legroom and how comfortable the seats were. They also mentioned how quiet it was and the ride quality. The rear cargo area had more than enough room for all the baggage and a cooler box. It's a large vehicle with a high seating position. It's easy to get into a comfortable driving position with the available seat and steering wheel adjustments. The 10-speed transmission delivers smooth changes and the power from the V6 is impressive. Steering is light and handling is sure footed. The suspension soaks up the bumps quietly which transfers into low interior noise. I’m averaging just over 10 litres per 100km and hoping this will reduce as the engine wears in. No first service yet due the low km travelled to date. Insurance costs (factored into the purchase price) were as expected. I haven't priced a new set of tyres but don’t expect them to be cheap. There have been a couple of recalls which have rectified mainly electronic defects. The Ranger has not missed a beat but has only 3000-plus km on the clock. I don’t expect any major issues by ensuring servicing at regular intervals. The vehicle will be doing some towing in the future over long distances so servicing is important.
