caeser Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 I know 2 people that have got them. Both are the 3.2 litre diesel Limited versions. I've driven one and I was mega impressed. I've driven the older 2.5 litre diesel model too, and to be honest wasn't impressed with it. (Sorry if I've upset any owners, just my personal opinion.) There is no comparison with the new one, it's a different animal in every way. Much nicer to drive, smoother , quieter , obviously more powerful. Doesn't feel anywhere near as agricultural as the older one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matone Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Surely a pickup truck should feel a little `agricultural` ! The demands of the posuers of the world are turning every 4x4 on the market into totally impractical vehicles. The 2,5 was/is a very practical working vehicle.

Having seen both the Rangers mentioned above and knowing what they are used for they are certainly not owned by posers they are ont he other hand incredible trucks and i seriously considering buying one myself Edited November 3, 2012 by beeredup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishingtex Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 I've got an 11 plate Ranger Wildtrak. does what it says on the tin. Good on road abet a bit loose back end when wet and accelerating. Not done serious off road but copes well with the deep rutted muddy lanes on the farms I shoot. Inside is comfy, the new ones are a lot nicer and more car like. Fuel economy is good for a big lump I get 30 - 32 on average. Got a Pegasus Twentyten back on it and it looks the business. Wouldn't be without it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
