2012 Ford Ranger

[timykoo]

Hindi ko ma gets kung bakit naging, " International Pick Up of the Year " ang Ranger. Bummer.

Maybe some features that aren't present with other competitors? Like the air intake box, height, bed capacity, features like cruise control etc? Interior space and seats are much better as well at least for me.

Mga sir nabanggit ko lang at nacompare. Navara 4x2 matic gamit ko dati, pag sinagad ko gas pedal umiiyak siya. Sa xlt matic ko ngayon, hindi ko pa nagawa. Kaya nasabi ko na baka mas malakas arangkada yung old pick up ko. Pero again satisfied ako sa t6 overall.

Yup. Sa dmax jx1 ko noon matic din. Lakas n arangkada. Hehe. Mahina talaga t6 sa arankada due to smal engine and turbo lag

Hi, nakapila ako sa Ford Commonwealth for a WT 2.2 A/T. They're asking for 80k D.I. tapos required din ang in-house insurance. Does this sound right? Sino dito kumuha ng unit sa Commonwealth? I appreciate your help! Thanks!

For the 2.2 it does not sound right. Daming stocks ng WT pahirapan lang talaga kasi gusto nila ng DI. Ask sa Global City branch nalang

Thanks Cyferion, sige i'll inquire with Global City tomorrow. Hopefully, meron silang stock!

Try mo ford manila or global.

Haha sir, napakamot ko naman ang gulong ng Ranger ko. Hndi nmn sya hirap. Hndi lng me marnong nung una. Hahaha gusto ko nga upload sa youtube then share dito. Hohoho.

XLT. MT Akin.

Amoy sunog na goma lakas hahah

Hndi ko na gagawin at mauupod agad hahaha

Hahaha sarcasm aside, there's no denying the Ranger's supremacy against other pickups once the bigger picture is considered. I knew very well that a Strada or Navara would've been a better choice if speed was the concern, but despite the so-so performance, the Ranger's looks and features are just unbeatable for its class.

Besides, mid-range power is great naman. On the way home I had no trouble keeping up with my friend's 2.5L Rav 4 along EDSA. Kung 60-100 lang ang usapan, di naman lampa ang Ranger

[jut703]

As for FC:

9.34 km/L
Mixed (30% city, 70% highway)
Odo is at 381 km.

Medyo malakas pero break-in period pa naman and sobrang hindi economical yung driving ko sa highway so I guess it's not that bad.

Interestingly, the trip computer's pretty accurate. 10.3 L/100 km or 9.7 km/L yung display, so 4% variance lang.

Mga bro, you can find your answers from the internet. In summary, lumalabas Ranger is the best in the categories of what a pick up is supposed to do.....on- and off-road prowess, strong engine line-up, payload and towing capability, and safety.

Case to case basis ata sa value because for me Ranger has better value than Colorado. Colorado is much expensive here than Ranger then very basic feature lang entry level ng Colorado.

Check out where Ranger has been in this video. This is what Ranger can do.

I think that's the price we pay for wanting a truck that has a robust and masculine appearance, especially the front. There's no way that can be in any way aerodynamic. The wind noise is very noticeable at speeds beyond 130 kph. All cars are aerodynamically limited. The amount of horsepower you need to get a few more kph exponentially increases depending on the aerodynamics of the car. For a bugatti veyron for example the exponent could be 1.5-2 because of its low profile but for a truck it could be twice or thrice that number. In fact at a certain point wind would offer more resistance than a vehicle's dead weight.

Personally, I'm thankful that it is "limited" to 175-180. If it goes any faster I'm pretty sure idiots will end up wrecking the truck. At higher speeds the truck will lose control with even just a little twitch.

BMW's, Jags are in fact most of the time limited electronically (not just through aerodynamics) because if you allow it to go any faster, bits and pieces would come off the body of the car.

Somebody uploaded video of their top speed at 182kph. Sports car na kunin nyo if u want anything faster. =) sa Autobahn nyo na paliparin truck nyo haha joke lang ha. Wag Sana mapikon. Peace

Immature moment but the driver's name is Hardy de Kock. Mean parents hahaha

BTT: Try Ford Global. Only inquired about the XLT MT but unlike the three other dealers I consulted, sa kanila no DI, and hindi inhouse insurance. Ford Commonwealth too competitive ang quote pero slightly better sa Global. Sa Ford Cwealth, 8 DI ang Matic, don't know ano sa Global.

And if it has good low to midrange power, that's more than good enough for us. Mostly QC/Manila lang naman kami so top speed isn't a priority. Fuel efficiency, bigger bed space and pogi look, yes!

[jut703]

Ano ba FC niyo with the Ranger? 8-9 km/L ba sa city? Just so I can manage my expectations

[mavgp]

Mga sir hingi ako ng advice. Should I go for 18" or 20" black rhino Sidewinder? Masmaganda kasi tingnan yung 20" kaso ayaw ko ng lift dahil hirap ako maghanap ng parking sa mga mall mabababa mga vertical clearance eh, saka po compared sa stock wheels ng WT, mastatagtag ba mga sir kung magpapalit ako from 18" to 20" o depende rin sa tire size. Also, what tire size po ba mairerecommend nyo? TIA

I agree with you Sir, I can also hear the wind blowing towards the vehicle and it gets noticeably louder when cruising along NLEX with speeds between 120-140kmh. Maybe that's one reason why it affects the vehicle reaching a certain speed due to wind resistance, another factor din sa aerodynamics was the cargo bed as well. Definitely hinde masyado nag-focus ang R&D division ng Ford interms of aerodynamics with the new Ranger because it's a pick-up truck not a race car.

Hindi ko ma gets kung bakit naging, " International Pick Up of the Year " ang Ranger. Bummer.

For me interms of value and looks, winner talaga ang Ranger. Though I wouldn't be too concerned now with it's title, kse the award was given to the Ranger last year pa, "2012 International Pick Up of the Year". Not sure though if they've already crowned a new winner this year, pero based from available articles online, the new DMax has been bagging awards just when the year started.

Mag-iimprove pa yung FC nyo Sir. Ganyan din roughly FC nung XLT MT namen nung break-in period. Got it also from Ford Global. Went to Baguio with just 3++kms on the odo, and the best reading I got for highways was 7.4L/100km. City driving was between 9.2-9.6L/100km. Just last week when we went to Pampanga, best reading was 6.3L/100km on highways, and city driving was between 7.6-9.0L/100km. Nagbago ako ng driving style compared to when we first got it, then I kinda experimented with the diesel fuels we're using. So far mas fuel efficient kapag pure Unioil Euro4 diesel ang laman ng fuel tank. Tried mixing it with big 3's diesel fuels and may increase in FC na 1.5L-2.8L/100km sa reading compared sa pure Unioil. Matagtag talaga siya for a pick-up and tire pressure somewhat contributes to that. So nagbawas ako ng tire pressure, pero nung binaba ko from 38psi to 33psi or 35psi yung tire pressure, hirap siya reaching 130kmh-140kmh. Nung nagreach na ng 120kmh, feel ko na parang nanginginig na yung dashboard and it took time for it to pick-up speed. Still using the stock wheels, so tiniis ko na lang yung tagtag and retained 38psi tire pressure para hinde sacrificed yung engine also pati yung FC.
Interms of speed naman Sir, palagi naman ako sa fastlane/overtaking lane sa NLEX. Not that na may kinakarera ako na kapwa motorists ko pero it picks up speed really fast when I want it to. Hinde ko na napapansin 140kph na pala takbo namen. I once tried catching up with a Fortuner who'se been driving above the speed limit, 2.5 engine ata nun na AT, had a hard time catching up until the turbo starts to kick in, then naabutan ko na. Though it didn't really bother me, basta fuel efficient and with a big cargo bed, ok na samen. Fuel prices are starting to soar again this past few weeks kaya malaking bagay na din na fuel efficient ang ranger for us.

EB na nga tayo tsikot.com T6 owners. Kahit meet up lang sa isang gas station along NLEX or SLEX to show-off and appreciate our rides....

Down ako s EB.

Bro, just to set the record straight, the Ford Ranger is the "current" i.e. 2013 International Pick up of the year.....
