  1. Hybrid Ranger

    Looks like we are getting a hybrid Ranger in 2025. They're using the Ecoboost engine too. https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/2025-ford-ranger-plug-in-hybrid-revealed-and-confirmed-for-australia-142584/
  2. Yet another 10 speed joy

    https://www.vehiclerecalls.gov.au/recalls/rec-005759 Looks like 10 speed owners have yet another fun issue to deal with. Not sure if you had this issue over there. Our Rangers come from the Rayong Thailand assembly plant, but I think all the 10 speeds come from Livonia or Sharonville, so...
  3. Well we're off too!

    Hi peeps. Tomorrow we're off to the far west of Queensland to Birdsville on the edge of the Simpson desert. Every year they have an event on "Big Red" which is the first (or last depending on whether you opt for an eastern or western crossing) dune you cross when doing a Simpson crossing. I...
  4. Entering Ranger 5G land

    Well tomorrow we make landfall in Hawaii after traversing the Pacific from Sydney. After this we will wander up the coast to Alaska come back fora couple of days in LA before flying home.

  5. A warning for unmitigated, unplanned, E-car silliness

    I believe you have already had a taste of this over there in California, this guy is one of our better independent motoring journalists, is actually a qualified automotive engineer, not just some pen jockey on corporate kickbacks, and has a bitterly sarcastic wit as well...
  6. New Ranger

    Not sure if this belongs in the 6G thread but had a chance to look / comparison at a new model the other day when one pulled up next to mine at the rail station car park I use. Looks like Ford intend to merge the global and US models going forward. Overall a similar size and shape but every...
  7. Traditional cooked foods

    Well Aussie traditional anyway, having my son's almost father in law, over for dinner this afternoon. Our next door friends (well 70 meters away - we live on acreage) are also coming over for a few beers as well. I've decided that some traditional cooking is in order. There is a stump...
  8. New Ranger review in Australia

    For those interested a detailed review of the V6 mid spec model. Hopefully will be similar to what you get.
  9. Sold Out

    Saw this posted (or similar post anyway) over on 6G forum. Ford Australia has sold every new Ranger, Raptor, and Everest wagon imported this year already, off the plan, - without a single car being test driven. Such is this vehicles reputation over here. Toyota must be hopping mad...

  13. Valvoline Max Life ATF

    Anyone here tried Valvoline Max Life ATF for it's allegedly sealing properties? The front driveshaft on my transfer case began to weep slightly for the last few months, and after returning from a recent camping trip I noticed it had actually developed into a drip - not a lot, but annoying none...
