"Extra Urban"

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

You don't have to go "Extra Urban" for the snakes and spiders, they love suburbia, kangaroos not so much, although sometimes seen in outer suburbs. It's not the teeth you have to worry about it's the center nail on the back feet - can be lethal.
Yes I agree it's a silly acronym, it used to be just called city cycle, and highway cycle, then someone in government obviously thought that was too easy to understand.

But keeping a vehicle more than a handful of years puts you in the minority of vehicle owners.

No matter how many of us keep our vehicles until the wheels fall off, there are hundreds and thousands for each of us that keep their cars for a few years and get the next new thing.

And I love them for it because that's usually how I get my almost new cars at a discount!

I am with the band on the big touch screen. For as many "too outdated" comments I see about our 5g Ranger - the interior of the 6g Ranger is what rushed me into a 5g. Didn't like screen city. Anyway, cool story Strangelove.


What does this control do? I see it featured all the time but can't get any information on it.

Trailer brake controller! woohoo, we need that!

Also, on the pic of the V6, it the alternator at the bottom?

It's a Holden Ute (at least it looks like a Holden) made by GM.

Yep that's also what it looks like to me. Based on the holden commodore sedan. Every second yard over here used to have one. The V8 and the old 3.8 V6 versions were the best. The newer alloytech V6 was a fragile crap engine.

What's the 4A drive mode, AWD?

Yes automatic AWD. We already have it on the Everest wagon, but never on the Ranger- until now.

What is the plus/minus slider thingy?

Let's them talk in American slang when it's moved to the right.

So what's the gas mileage in MPG?
Man, that thing looks like what every Ranger owner is trying to build!

You can read all about it here:. https://www.ford.com.au/showroom/future-vehicle/next-gen-ranger-raptor/

Basically yes, 4A is an AWD.
