Nice truck, thanks for posting! The steering wheel is on the wrong side! How did they let that leave the plant that way?

I am digging the upfitter switches in the overhead console.

No it's not, looks perfectly correct to me! Great photos, there are a few reviews over here on these already. Most reviewers are left speechless. All I can say is Toyota , Nissan, and Isuzu must be shi**ing in their boots, they have nothing, nothing, to compete with these units, even the V6 diesel standard Ranger tromps all over them, even the poverty pak 2.0 litre bi turbo diesel unit gives them a scare. If they fit these engines into the Everest wagon version it will be all over for Toyota Prado.

So what were you doing over in West Australia my commonwealth friend? It would be starting to warm up a little over there by now.

Awesome pics, I was there in 2021 for work , love Australia, I'll come back for vacation next time around. I was in Adelaide area and Sydney. I had to stop by Jarvish Ford dealership and checked out some Ranger.

What is the plus/minus slider thingy?

What is the plus/minus slider thingy?

Appears to be an integrated trailer brake controller.

I may be in the minority here, but I love that center stack.

And just to be nitpicky, that ceiling console just looks plain, even with the up fitter switches up there. I'm not a fan of having switches in the ceiling, something about having to pull a pillars and headliner to run wires (yes, I know up fitters are pre run)... As I said, nitpicking....

That massive screen, with everything in it. Drool.

That thing is looking fantastic. Thanks for the pictures!

I ain't gonna lie...I'm still on the fence about having something that size for an infotainment setup.

I'd reckon I would need to sit in the vehicle first and see for myself.

Love Aus. everytime I go. Gorgeous country..

Spring is perfect time of year to visit WA, before it gets stupid hot. I'm in engineering and was visiting some mine sites down in Kal..

I didn't get to drive it but will say it made my 2020 Lariat feel...small. The 2023 are def wider..

Cheers..?

Yet another design flaw. Just like the high ass end.

I don't care for it either. I like the horizontal design like the 12" screen on the Bronco much better. This looks like someone just stuck an iPad on the dash. lol

"Extra Urban"

Is that where the snakes are big, the spiders deadly, and killer kangaroos with sharp teeth call home?

I think there is just so much more opportunity to have a screen like that in a vehicle. Just like an all digital dash panel.

You want a tach, have a tach, you want a giant speedo, have a giant speedo.

You want to have every gauge possible, have every gauge possible.
