Hello from New Zealand

[NotBudule]

What's the weed laws in NZ I wonder ?,

recreational cannabis is still illegal, following the narrow defeat of a referendum in late 2020 that would have legalized adult-use cannabis in the country.

Welcome Richard, nice to see another Global model Ranger on here, there are a few of us but you have to look. You got the 3.2, 2.2 or 2.0 diesel?

OK, here's my understanding of it. There's the 2011-2022 Ranger (model code P375) based on Ford's T6 platform, and the Australian model designation was PX. PX2 was the first facelift, and PX3 the second (it has a some mechanical differences too).

IIRC we got 3 trim levels back in 2015, with XL, XLT, and Wildtrak on offer. XL was the base work truck, XLT the mainstream model, and WIldtrak got some extras like leather interior, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, etc. I've linked a copy of the Aussie brochure, but in NZ we didn't get the option packs and had to buy WIldtrak to get the extra features.

HI Richard,
I have a PX1 XLT but I think you will find (judging from being a member here for a while) the PX3 facelift is the closest to the US model. In Australia we had an XLS model as well it was like an XL trim model but with XLT features.

Robert,

Canada’s not a bad option - grow it, possess it, smoke it wherever you can smoke cigarettes, put it in edibles, drinks, whatever you like.

But, like I’ve said to others, you have to really, really, really like taxes.

Hi all

My name is Richard and I've got a global market Ranger Wildtrak PX2 from 2015, over here in New Zealand. You might ask why I'm on this site then, and it's because I spotted this thread about using global market leaf springs in the US market Ranger. Confirming what I'd seen about spring geometry being compatible, I got to thinking that maybe some of the US market options could be worth checking out for my truck. So I've been lurking in the suspension forum, having recently swapped out my Bilstein shocks for some Öhlins but the PX3 rear leaf spring I fitted is still bugging me.... Anyway, it's been good reading the threads and seeing what you guys are doing with your rides.

Cheers
Richard

It's mostly a daily-driver but sometimes gets out to play.

Welcome! I love seeing the rides from overseas. Closest I have come to New Zealand is South Australia. I lived there for a couple years...

Welcome fellow Kiwi. My old stomping ground was West Auckland until I moved to Arkansas.
