New 4x4 Take 2- 2013 Ford Ranger Wild Track 3.2

[Dave..]

General Grabber AT3’s. Must be 25k hard miles on them now of which about 20k is with a twin axle trailer on tow and they’re holding out very well. Definitely recommend them as a great all round tyre...

Update,
New tyres 4 x General Grabber AT3`s, they make it much nicer to drive.

@Nicky do you know where I could get underbody protection plates?

Depends what you’re looking for David. There’s a few online shops selling them, such as 4x4AT:

Ford Ranger T6 2012 On 4mm Alloy Under Body Protection Kit

No one that I know locally stocks them as I’d say it would cost too much to have them sitting for the full range of pickups available now and to have such a small market for them.

I’ve seen 1 of those kits on a DMax and it looked to be very good quality. Apparently a very good fit too.

Thanks Nicky I will take a look.

Been driving a 2.2 Limited for a while now, didn't want it when i got it and now i don't want to give it back! By far the best driving pick up out there and the interior is a genuinely nice place to be.

 

[Dave..]

Ready to hit the fields.

 

[Nicky]

You tested those AT3’s yet?

Yes, very good tyres with plenty of grip.

I didn’t notice any increase in road noise with them either which was a bonus. A lot of AT’s can be noisy or cause a bit of vibration which isn’t the case with these.

If we get any snow you’ll be really impressed

I had Insa turbos mud tyres on my defender and they were very noisey and tracked on every ripple on the road BUT off road they were awesome.

Only update is fitted waterproof seat covers and have the design approved for the graphics on the rear canopy.

Bodo is the man

Love these, awesome but have heard they're extremely thirsty as mentioned

And famed for oil pump failure unfortunately from what I’ve seen.

What modern engine doesn’t have issues though?

I had AT2s on my last Range Rover sport and it went places it probably shouldn’t have with ease.

I hear the AT3s are a great tyre too

Something to look forward to

What you put that poor RRS through... lol

 

[suckindiesel]

Put AT3's on the Patrol and their road manners are excellent.

@Nicky
What do you think?
I am going to add a tuning box to the Ranger, have been advised to get this one;
TDI Tuning | Ford Ranger 3.2 TDCI CRTD4 TRIPLE Channel With RPM Diesel Tuning Box Chip

Look like good gains. TDi Tuning have been going a long time, so should be a decent chip. Have never used them myself, but I’d say there’s plenty of reviews online of their products.

Have driven a couple of pickups and vans that have TorqueTronix tuning boxes fitted to them and they were very impressive, but who to use is a personal preference.

 

[Dave..]

Ford Ranger has been sold, far too bouncy and very hard on fuel. Itch scratched.
Back to something I can get more use out of and does 45mpg.
2016 Vauxhall Vivaro, just done 100 miles and averaging 50mpg.
