The 300 000 km Ford Ranger Common Problems

This guy is a legend. Straight to the point reviews without any bias. thank you for helping ranger owners

Mazda BT50, 320,000km and no mechanical problems. I have owned this car since new, a much under rated brand

I've rebuilt at least 10 of the P5AT's in the last couple of years. Most common cause of failure is overheating from egr and oil cooler leaks followed by oil pump failures. I've done one rebuilt due to an injector failure at 280k. I remove the egr cooler completely and replace the oil pump with a gear style pump. I still think these are the best Ute's in Oz based on price, power, tow capacity and availability of parts.

This video has added some faith in owning a Ford Ranger

Hey bloke, it looks like I’ll be changing my fan. My ranger did the same thing when I was towing a loaded trailer the other day. Well done mate, you just saved me some time and money, thank you. I love my ranger.

Thanks for the Video mate was really informative and gives me the heads up on what to look for having just brought a 2012 Xlt ranger with 190kms on it. Seems to have been well serviced and looked after. Time will tell. 👍

Great Video - I have a 2014 Px GXL with 245, 600km, I can relate to your list of issues.. firstly the air intake hose - replaced, then the drivers door actuator, replaced, then the starter motor, replaced, then the alternator, replaced, need to do the engine mounts, aircon pully, rotors it is nice to see that there are other with the same sort of issues.

We run a wildtrak 3.2 here in U.K. it’s had a fifth wheel conversion fitted with air bags and rerated to 7 tons, that was at 17k miles and now 117k so far she’s been a tank of a truck the other day I took off the rear brake drums give a clean grease that’s it shoes good for another 100k can’t believe it, it’s a bloody beast, when she’s running lite it’s known to pull 120 mph, and blow the carbon off the exhaust valves, when treated like a lady it give good mileage, your vlog has been very helpful 👍👏👏👏👏

You are a genius mate. Smart and capable mechanic.

What a fantastic video. Thank you so much for uploading this.

Good commentary, straight to the point and with costing.

I bought the new released XLT model in 2012 with auto trans. I I drove that thing everywhere, black top, dirt, off road and beach. After 8 years and 360,000 klms i started to have some issues with the transmission and she started to blow a little smoke so i knew i had injectors to deal with Andy an auto which i was advised would be around $8k for auto plus injectors, so sold it off to a wholesaler. I did have the auto serviced at around the 150k mark and always had the car serviced by a dealer or mechanic every 10,000 klms during the time i had it. That thing never let me down. So i bought another XLT in 2020, this time the biturbo version; at currently 75000 klms its going well, fingers crossed this is as good as my last one.

Thanks for the good information from someone who is actually using the Ranger for heavy duty stuff. I am not quite a city slicker but still far from day by day off roading. My Ranger will be a used one , that's why this clip is important to me. Thanks

This is very helpful, thanks for your attention for detail videos, I currently have my left headlight low beam not working I have replaced the bulb with no luck, can you do a video on how to fix reset the BCM and how to fix BCM if reset does not work. once again excellent videos.

Great video, mines on 245,000 miles in the UK and most of the same issues. EGR cooler just went down and the garage couldn't find the issue. Found your other video on the EGR bypass and fixed it my self within half an hour. Thanks.

Nice to see an old ranger to be still of good service with mostly wear and tear repairs after all these years on road.

Great tips thanks for the video, its helpful just for the sake of going through some of these issues and making sure bolts and things are torqued up and everything's in place. Shot a lot.

Great video mate have a 2014 px 1 that's just clocked 301 thou bypassed my egr at 180 apart from that only done brake pads mine is auto.

I have a 16 3.2 auto PX2 with 150,000 on it, 3in lift and 305's. It's been a brilliant car. Been around Australia and towed a heap of mx trailers and car trailers. Breakdown wise all we have had is an intercooler hose on fraser Island. Taped it up got it back to sunny coast for a new one. Otherwise just the usual brake replacements (we live near mountain ranges, coupled with the auto proablly bit hard on the brakes), 1 set of tie rod ends, and replaced the stock battery. We are really happy with ours.

I've got a 2019 Wildtrak, it's at 75k kms now, bought it a few months back. Plan on doing the works on it, getting an oil catch can, upgraded intercooler, transmission intercooler, as well as your usual outback accessories so I can enjoy some outback adventures and holidays solo.
