2012 Ford Ranger

[glenn manikis]

That's like saying a tricked-out Civic with fancy race parts is better than a sleeper Civic that's just as fast but looks close to stock.

Ang akin lang bro, hindi porket mas maraming mods, mas maganda. I respect people who mod their Rangers (or whatever car) to high heavens. Yung iba maganda naman, pero ako kasi (and I know na there are others like me) yung tipo na gusto ng kotse na mukhang stock with a few subtle upgrades to differentiate it from the average stock unit without straying too much from the OEM look.

At the end of the day, it's a matter of respect and understanding that each person has different tastes.

when it comes to car's, mas gusto ko pa talaga stock look... kesa may mga side skirts, spoilers, et.al.

pero pag pickup kasi.... like our ranger... the tires look so small from its wheel wells... IMO "parang may kulang" tapos 4x4 on highway terrain tires? a 20" with 275 55 tires may looks sakto... imo perfect fit should be 285 55r20....

Bigger mags and Tires talaga ang naglalabas ng Porma sa ranger...

then yung sport bar.. its a pickup dba? more of a utility.. dapat ang nakalagay rollbar, hindi ka man lang makapagpatong ng mabigat na bagay... kasi baka magasgas or mabasag... pero kung naka rollbar ka ppwede dba? kahit upuan mo pa cya...

dont get me wrong ha... magandang maganda yung wildtrak... " in my opinion and taste mas nagagandahan ako sa ranger WILDTRAK MAN YAN o xlt na may simple mods. 120-180k worth... kesa sa stock look..

pero sabi mo nga... at the end of the day its a matter of one taste nalang...

and budget... parang ako... i find it parang mahal yung wildtrak sa price nya... compare mo sa xlt... pang upgrade ko nalang yun...

pang bile ng Gwapong mags and tires... rollbar... and bed cover...

practical lang sir.... with may kasamang kunting WOW factor..

and lastly.... ang deal breaker sakin why i choose the xlt over the wildtrak is.. the long waiting period ng wildtrak......

ano ang stock tire size ng Wildtrak 3.2L 4x4 MT?

For me deal maker naman yung 1.5days waiting ko sa WT3.2L. Hindi nga ako maniwala nung sinasabi nila na before holy week malalabas unit ko(3days togo). And I did not pay any DI or vkool tint. Insurance ko 48k. A bit high but ok lang

Guys any of you here had transmission problems with their ranger? Mine is at the dealer now ... It gets stuck in first gear and eventually the powertrain light came out. 8 month old palang 9500km

Ang swerte nyo sir, pero baka may d.i. yun kasama na dun sa loan nyo. O baka naman cash kaya walang d.i.

Nag limp mode? Nagkaron din ba ng mild shift shock before it happened? How about the CEL umilaw din ba?

Nangyari kasi sa akin may mild shift shock siya after 3500 km odo reading, i was observing kung lumala pa. Then while driving biglang umilaw ang powertrain warning lamp and it could only go up to 3rd gear. I tried turning the engine off and on saka umilaw ang CEL. Pag uwi ko ng bahay and reversing to park the vehicle ang lakas ng shift shock going from D to N and R. I tried all, P, R, N, D and grabe ang shift shock tumatagilid talaga ang pick up. Pero after maybe 5 minutes with the engine off (i got down to check the oil level and look around the engine and tranny for any obvious signs i can report later to the casa) i started the engine again and all the alarms were gone. I test drove it and all was ok. Idadala ko sana sa casa for a check up but meron ako lakad so i took the chance using it. Ok naman na siya, even went off road a bit, using 4H on the gravel and 4L on some mud, then sa hiway went up to 180kph (just to test). Nawala na din yung shift shock, smooth na shifting from P, R, N, D. So di ko na dinala sa casa for diagnostics. 3900km odo nya now.

mazda bt50 3.2 a/t yung sa akin, same engine and tranny as wildtrak 3.2 a/t.

Yes! Sakto!! Nag shift shock siya muna thrn eventually ito na the gears get stuck at 1st gear. I have to turn off the engine, and turn it on again para maging normal but nung huli ... Hindi na kinaya talagang limp na.. The shift shock happend to me months ago oa pero once lang then the 2nd time 2 mos ago? Then ito na yung 3rd instance with the shift shock eventually leading to the tranny failure.

Called up Ford Libis, they still dont know the problem daw??

Palagay ko software issue e kasi nawawala pag off ang engine. Saka yung shift shock nya kung mechanical ang cause dapat di na sana nawala, kaso nawawala pag nag-off na din yung powertrain alarm. Hopefully it will be something that they can fix with a simple software update. Yun lang nga ang fix na yan will come from ford/mazda, not just from the casa.

Ausie ranger and bt50 forums both report a possible miscommunication between the ecu and tcm, could be a loose connection or wrong signal. Some also reported a possible low voltage/electrical power issue that causes a fault in the tcm. Looks like we are not alone. Both 2.2 and 3.2 engines and both manual and automatic trannys suffer from this problem. Sa manual tranny syempre wala yung shift shock issue, limp mode lang na naka ilaw ang powertrain warning lamp and cel, and sometimes traction control. Now the problem is that in most (like in mine) the problem disappears when the engine is switched off and the ecu does not log the problem code. So if this happens we MUST all take a photo of the dash showing the warning lamps that are on. And maybe even record a movie that will show the shift shock happening.

I will drop by thr service tomorrow to get an update. It has been 2 days na pero no feedback yet. I think they should have had known the reason na agad since when i left the service nung saturday, the powertrain light is lighting up.
Haaaay

Actually same din sa old cars. Auto transmission nagloloko din. The difference is now a days a light tells us something is wrong. Where as before no light.

Like yung first starex namin 1mnt old nawawala drive pagmainit na. Tapos yung korean importer ayaw iwarranty-SAD

[glenn manikis]

Limp mode and shift shock happened to my focus.. The next day ok na.. So far months had passed hindi na nanaman bumalik...

Ask mo kung aware sila na hindi lang sa unit mo nangyari yan, na madami na same cases sa australia and thailand rangers and bt50. Dapat meron na software update and ford/mazda since 2012 pa yung earliest case na nabasa ko.

Spoke to service yesterday, nag software update na sila so the powertrain light is not coming out. Problem, may jerking parin ... Sabi it might be mechanical na ...

[yebo]

I doubt kung mechanical. Sabihin mo sa kanila mine had severe shift shock, like as if the pick up was being bumped from one side but it disappeared after the powertrain warning disappeared. Most probably software lang, or wrong/missing signal between ecu and tcm (loose connection?)

Sana walang issue ang Manual ng 3.2L WT
