2012 Ford Ranger

[A-OK]

Hello again guys!

Which Ford branch can you guys recommend me for test drives ng Ranger MT/AT? I wanna test drive it in real road conditions like for example our crappy cement highway EDSA and the like. I want to compare the ride to my shaky Hilux. If it is significantly better I might really get the Ford na if not i might go for an SUV for real comfort driving + FC .

FC input of the 4x2 AT in pure city driving compared to the MT would be greatly appreciated.

My Feedback on ranger ride, sa front comfortable. But rear passengers commented bumpy ride. Maybe due to my tire inflation at 38psi. Dapat lower Kung no load. Hope others can comment sa ride especially sa rear.

How about getting innova? I know it has comfortable ride. I just find the design kinda plain.

Thanks for the feedback!

The Innova? No thanks ;) I really dig the trucks especially the ranger because it is like a 3 in 1 vehicle. A sedan,van and suv! Haha and the macho look. Thanks! Will go for after market suspensions

I chanced upon this product called the Sport-Rite Air Bag Kit for 2010-11 Ford Ranger (4X4 & 4X2) by Firestone. I do not know if local owners of the previous generation Ranger have tried this. It is said to "enhance the ride while empty or loaded." Here's the website: [2531 Firestone Sport-Rite- REAR KIT 2010-11 Ford Ranger (4X4)(4X2) - See Description] It's not far-fetched that one may also be produced for the new Ranger.

Thanks a bunch! Doubtful lang ako sa durability ng mga ganyan but worth checking out!

3 days lang po. Nitong Sunday(October 21) ko lang nakausap Ms. Jackie, released na agad last Wednesday pero actually, nasubmit na ni metrobank ang bank PO ng tuesday morning na. Salamat Sir Yggy at kay Ms. Jackie. Tuwang tuwa ang father ko, feeling binata na. . Unlike nung sa QA, 2
Months akong waiting, walang nangyari.

Ung sakin arangkada palang ako 5kph nag lo lock na door ko, mine is 4x2 matic

Same here.

after the second attempt i was able to do it right.. i mean the driver config mode..

On page 31. It is mentioning about driver configuration mode to activate this feature. This will be done in a period of 30 secs.!!!
1. Ignition off to on then press lock/unlock button 3 times within 3 secs. then 2. Ignition on to off (horn will sound,short beep)then press again lock/unlock button 3 times withis 3 secs. and then lastly 3. ignition off to on again. ( horn will sound 2 short beeps) and that's it!

Sir jx290 and duramax,
thanks for your swift reply. Il do this po.
Some clarifications lang sir,
1, do i need to turn key from off to start engine or till mag on lang lights sa instrument panel?
2, Dapat po ba close all doors when doing the procedure?
3, yun pressing lock/unlock button sir. 3x lock then 3x din unlock button po or either of the button lang press 3x?
4, after driver configuration mode, does it automatically goes into autolock by speed or i need to do it separate procedure?
TIA

700 kms is like the distance from Zamboanga City to Butuan City?


I talked to a technical guy at Ford yesterday. I asked him why many MT owners have trouble with shifting and often experience engine stalling. He revealed that Ford Ranger 2012 went back to SINGLE MASS FLYWHEEL system. Yung mga lumang ranger had the Dual Mass system. suggestion ng technical is to get used to it.. I search online and found out there is a conversion kit to solve the issue:

Clutchpro Single Mass Flywheel Conversion Kit for Mazda BT50 & Ford Ranger - The ClutchPro product range

The new Ranger as well as any other pickup is not really built for comfort, especially pag dumaan ka CDO-Iligan highway.
That is understandable especially if you're coming from an SUV. Heck my 10 year old Trooper is still more comfortable than my new ranger..
Pero IMHO, i tested the new 2.5 Hilux, Chevy Colorado, and 2012 Strada and i would say halos parehos ang Strada at Ranger on the top in terms of comfort..

Sir duramax,
You from butuan-zamboanga area po? Parang sukat na sukat mo po yun distance ng area hehe:-)

Answers.
1, do i need to turn key from off to start engine or till mag on lang lights sa instrument panel?

ANS. You don't need to start engine, only ignition on yung pangalawang click ng key. Iilaw lahat nasa instrument panel.

2, Dapat po ba close all doors when doing the procedure?

ANS It doesnt matter if you close or not,

3, yun pressing lock/unlock button sir. 3x lock then 3x din unlock button po or either of the button lang press 3x?

ANS. No. Pressing 3 times means, as in 3 times lang talaga hindi 6 times (3 sets of lock/unlock) don't be confused.

4, after driver configuration mode, does it automatically goes into autolock by speed or i need to do it separate procedure?

ANS You don't need another procedure when you have done setting this up in 30 seconds time. You can turn off the key and leave it or if you wish, you can try starting it and drive to see if it works.

That's for the US Ranger, which is a completely different truck. It may or may not fit, or may need some modification to fit, depending on the shape of the frame rail on the global Ranger.

mga sirs, does anyone knows if nagnormalize na ang supply ng units? im speaking of the 2.2 variant. parang nakakuha na lahat ng unit yung mga dating naghihintay dito. hanggang ngayon wala pa ding AT according to my SA.

thep-00 just got my unit last November 30 (nagpareserve ako ng August) and still mahaba pa ang pila lalo na sa 4x2 A/T.
In Thailand... more than 25,000 pa ang demand according to Ford report below.

Thanks for the info sir teeyoh. Hintayin ko na lng tutal naghintay naman na ako ng matagal tagal. 2months na ngayon so most likely next month ko na makukuha unit ko. Kinukulit na kasi ako ni esmi kumuha na lng ng iba kaso decided na talaga ako sa ranger. Frustrating lng kasi pinaasa lng kami ng SA. After ibigay ang PO saka naglahong parang bula ang SA namin. Hindi magtetext kung di pa kukumustahin.

AT ba unit niyo sir? mayroon din po bang issues sa transmission?
