Thread: Rubber for ranger?

Quiet, OK for grip, not that shite off road and quite good on gravel/rock back area roads in terms of longevity (this is where the Coopers for one fall down - they seem to get knifed and sliced to bits on gravel/rock roads and as we found out this is specifically excluded under their warranty).
@Philipo, is your Wildtrak the bi-turbo? Mate has a few Rangers and the bi-turbo eats boots like licorice compared to the 3.2L's. Dunno what it is as well, same drivers swapping between vehicles and same useage. He's not going to replace the bi-turbo with anything other than either a 3.2L or one of the new v6's as the bi-turbo is nowhere near the tow vehicle.

Nar mines a 2016 with the 3.2, I drive it fairly hard on the road & found to get the best out of that engine you need to use the tiptronic & keep it on the boil, that big arse turbo has plenty of grunt but the power band is tiny, like only 1500 revs so if you drop off ( especially over taking on hills ) ya fucked.
