Re: Sport V6 or Wildtrak Bi-turbo?

I'd go with the V6. Mate traded his bi-turbo in one one. Reckons it's heaps better, especially if you're towing heavy loads.

I'd love to get one but they're as rare as rocking horse doo-doo.

Re: Finally upgraged to a new ranger!

Nice rig.

When you take photos can you do one of the dash, please? I hear that the newer models have a different layout. And have a look at what the centre display shows.

Thanks.

Re: Transmission Temps How low is to Low

Here's one opinion on ATF temps.

I suppose that you'd need to refer to the ATF supplier's datasheet and the specs on the fluid in question.

Mostly around town and to work and back (10km there on 100 and 80 kay roads). I use an iOS app called Road Trip to record f...

Re: Ranger 3.2 litre vs 2 litre tow test.

That was an interesting video. I watched it before I made my decision to go with the 3.2 engined Wildtrak. A couple of interesting points. Where they clipped the brakeaway lanyard - on one of the safety chains. Aren't they supposed to be affixed to somewhere separate to the towbar assembly? No towin...
