Thread: Ford ranger 2 litre bi turbo

Observations of PX2/3 vs PX 4: slightly more bottom end grunt but the auto 6 speed was still a bit laggy in the torque converter. The 2L biturbo with the 10speed is only marginally worse on the standing takeoff with a heavy trailer, but in every other way I'm happy with it. Sips slightly less fuel when not pulling the trailer than the 3.2 did, not that I'm paying.

Company provided vehicle, so not my maintenance costs or overheads. Lots of forestry and off road use... None of my field utes have had a gentle life. Would I buy a trade spec ranger for myself? Yes, but not a high km second hand one!

Nice !
Yeah I was talking to mate that works for brandt carries half a ton of tools on the back and tows a 3.5 ton digger done 500k in the bi turbo, that basically made the decision for me.
The real world reports are what really matters rather than the horror stories.
Actual engine failures on this model compared to numbers sold came back to 0.03% puts the stores you hear in perspective.
