Confused sa mga sales agent.
what is the difference between the engine of XL and XLT? both are 2.2L both are duratorq engines.

Ang xl ay non vgt and less power 110hp. Xlt is vgt.

How is the ride in the back seat? I'm thinking of getting a pickup but when I rode my friend's Hi-Lux, the ride in the back seat was jarring. Is it the same with the Ranger?

get a strada if backseat comfort is your primary concern. sya ang pinaka carlike ride among the pickups afaik.

Much better than a Hilux but not as soft as the Strada.

Ranger's more spacious than a Strada though.

How is the Ranger's clutch ? Based on your comment, I assume its heavy (like the Patrol's) ? Or is it bec. the clutch has a very high "bite" point ?

Allow me to chime in. I havent driven a patrol so i cant compare, but yes, the clutch is very high in my 3.2 WT. I used to ride both the clutch and accelerator on my honda city since it didnt do anything, now i had to relearn everything.

One thing ive read and seem to agree is that the manual has some sort of rev compensation. If you have the habit of adding a bit of revs when you downshift to ease "gearshift shock", the ranger tends to "buck". If you just release the clutch fully and only then accelerate, its better. I still cant say its smooth tho, but have eliminated some jerkiness.

Also, since the clutch is very high, i position my seat further away so that i can only step half of the length of my clutch. Bottoming it out also makes it jerky.

Hope this helps.

Is there still a waiting list for XLT ?

Looking to trade in my "other brand" pickup for a Ford Ranger XL model - anybody with any recommended contacts? Preferably Ford By the bay but any dealership that's not too far north it fine.

Thanks

Sirs,

Ano ang turning radius ng T6? Galing ako sa Strada na 5.9m ang turning radius. Nakita ko sa ibang sites na malaki ang turning radius ng ranger, pero di nila nababanggit yung value.

Thanks!
