Aussie Ford Ranger

[Brendon Mills]

Very correct, the Thailand built ranger is not available in the US.
When purchased new it came with better options than a HILUX and was close to 10K cheaper as well.

Out for a beach run with a group of Ford Ranger's and Mazda BT50 owners

And a bush trip

Time for a new look with the Ranger.

That's a good looking Ranger. Never really liked the version available here in the States.

Brandon,

That's a very nice Ranger you have there. It's really a shame that Ford did not offer anything like it in the U.S. It's also a shame that none of the manufacturers produced a "mid-size" diesel pickup here.

I like your truck in both configurations, but I'm curious why you made the changes you did.

I have a Chevy Colorado crew cab 4x4 that I hope to set up somewhat like the way your Ranger was with the drawers in the bed. The drop down fridge slider is really neat, too. That is a great way to go, and would work very well with my Jumping Jack tent trailer.

Thanks for posting.

Thanks guys, the reason for the change in look is because I'm selling the Ranger and have purchased a new Ranger to build up into a touring vehicle, so most of the gear will be refitted to the new dual cab Ranger.
Here's a picture of the new Ranger, it's the run out model from 2011 and was an ex FoMoCo demonstrator vehicle so picked it up for 32K AUD

Good looking rig you got there. Congrats to you on the new acquisition. May it serve you well.

Hi Brendon,

is the newer PX Ranger so much more expensive then the old one in Australia?

Here in Germany Ford try hard to established the new Ranger beside the HiLux, Amarok and
Nissan Navarra ( Frontier in the US) so I get my new one 33% under the official Price...

Good luck with your new Rig:ylsmoke:

Thanks guys.
At that rate I should move over there.
The old model PK 2011 that I just got was $39k plus on road cost, the new PX is around $50k plus on road cost.

 

[Mitubitchy 3.5]

Wow, this is expensive.

I`ve paid 23.000 € for my PX, nearly the same Price as for a two Year old Modell here in Germany...

:26_7_2: NICE!

 

[Brendon Mills]

Up date on the new build up.
Painted the grill black

Fitted the rims & MTZ from the old ute

Fitted cargo draws,canopy & new aux battery.

 

[Brendon Mills]

Then fitted track mount roof rails and fitted the 80watt panel direct to the Rhino Rack feet. This will feed into either the start or aux battery.

Next was to mount up the new Ironman deluxe winch bar along with the old 9500lbs winch along with some new LED lights

 

[Mitubitchy 3.5]

Wow!

Your new Ranger looks very nice with all this new Stuff!

Are you happy with the LEDs?

Regarding your Ranger, I have only one thing to say:

:drool: :drool: :drool:

Also love the scenery.

Touring Australia by 4x4 is on my "bucket list" but at this rate I will have to win the lottery or inherit a million $$ from some rich relative in order to do it.

It's like God made an entire continent out of Moab. :Wow1:
