Took the Ranger into the Grampians National Park for a quick hike and some fishing. Also met this friendly shingleback lizard

Mine does this even when the weather is warm. Got the diesel with the 10 speed.

I managed to get the offroad screen enabled in my PX3 with Forscan but the pitch and roll angles don't work, only the steering angle. Not sure if our Rangers are missing a module or something?

Nice toy to ease out of lockdown with! :p

You may have missed my point, which was that ACC is very helpful to avoid inadvertently speeding, for example down a hill - where it's very easy to creep 5km/h over the speed limit before you realise it. I do 60,000km per year for my job and consider myself a conscientious driver, but it is...

ACC is an absolute godsend in parts of the world like ours where speed limits are heavily policed and brutally enforced. There are cameras mounted behind roadsign gantries and overpasses, completely unmarked camera cars (innocent-looking SUVs and midsize wagons) as well as every police car is...

These modern turbo petrol engines run very rich on a cold startup so the catalytic converters heat up to operating temp quickly. My Skoda has a downpipe and a high flow cat and it positively stinks on a cold morning.

Day trip out to the Grampians National Park.

Hi there, from Western Vic ? Chrome delete looks mint... is that an FX4 grille?

ROW models are also built in South Africa and Brazil... Brazil would make sense

The Ford app is a great feature, the other day the alarm went off when I was taking the trailer off and the app sent me a message saying the incline sensor had tripped the alarm.

I use one of those long handle brushes and a bit of all purpose cleaner to clean the wheel wells and they come up like new

I've never really experienced it myself, the downpipe on my Skoda has been wrapped for nearly 2 years now and never had a problem; but I guess the idea is for example if you were to go offroading and got a bit of water in the engine bay and parked up quickly afterwards the water soaks the wrap...

Speaking from experience with my Skoda RS, this has been debated for years but the short answer is that heat wrap and turbo blankets are generally a bit over-rated, one Golf forum member has done hugely detailed analysis of a turbo blanket on his GTi (different car I know, but the principles...

Lol I noticed your user name from golfmk7 too ? Your Ranger looks the business Mr. Sandman

If the ACC system uses the brakes, the brake lights will come on. I tested it out with my better half recently. However the ACC will rely on engine braking a lot, perhaps more so than the average driver would. I find myself going for the brake pedal when coming up behind traffic, kinda feels...

The previous poster beat me to it, but I presume you are talking about the tyres rather than the wheels, all the wheels are exactly the same diameter. So the aspect ratio is the sidewall as a percentage of tyre width. In this case each tyre has a sidewall which is 70% of the width. For example...

Looks like the aussie market is getting a similar offering with the new FX4 Max, it's got bigger tyres, lifted Fox suspension, different side steps, aux switch pack etc. Really looking forward to it because we don't get an offroad pack here at all unless you jump up to a Raptor

I've had my ROW version Ranger XLT for 3 weeks now, it has been working hard during that time carting all sorts of stuff. Here I was towing a load of redgum (8ft slabs as well as some firewood lengths) It has the 2.0 Biturbo diesel and 10-speed auto. At first, was a bit apprehensive of the...

Just watched all your instalments; amazing videography, scenery and ute. Oh and the husky is gorgeous :) Can't wait for part 4!
