Ford Ranger 2.2 XLT 4x4 (A) (2017) User Reviews

During my two year ownership, I have learned a lot from the mistakes I made and advice I heard from experienced owners that made me change my overall perception of authorised service centre. There is a lot of TLC required for this Ford Ranger as it is very sensitive and requires a lot of care to make your car more durable and long lasting. I stopped sending my Ford Ranger to the Ford Service Centre and went outside to a friend's workshop to get my Ford Ranger serviced as I felt more secure knowing my Ford Ranger will be more durable and reliable. For example: the recommended ATF oil change from Ford Service Centre is every 100,000 km, but a lot of Ford Ranger owners end up having transmission failures before the 100,000 km or transmission jerking at low speed. I was slightly lucky as I changed it at 40,000 km (with Ford Service Center) but apparently my transmission experienced a very bad jerk when it was trying to change gear. I found out that the ideal time to change the atf oil was every 20,000 km. After this incident, the next service I started going to my friend's workshop as he also owns a Ford Ranger and the oil (Penrite) he uses are designed for Ford Ranger. Therefore to maintain a Ford Ranger, the ideal parts to service are engine oil, ATF oil, transfer case, front and rear differential oil, engine filter and diesel filter as this would make the ranger perform very well. Also I recommend adding a catch tank which helps to reduce the amount of oil vapours that re-circulate into the engine intake which aids in performance and durability  

In conclusion, given the Ford Ranger 2.2 XLT T6FL's price and spec, I do not regret buying this car. I chose this car because it does everything I need it to do. Eventually this Ford Ranger has become more for overlanding/camping and travelling long distance instead of a daily driver because of its size in town.
