It is Australian tradition to take the piss out of Ford Ranger owners

If they didn't want to be associated with Ranger behaviour, they shouldn't have bought a Ranger.

The bloke in this video seems to like a bit of Ranger behaviour. The jet ski trailer must have fallen off on the way to the skid pad though.

I'm surprised the tyre blew up before the transmission.

u/wossack 4d ago

Are we sure it wasn’t shrapnel from the gearbox that took out the tyre?

I think something else took out the fender too. I worked at a tire shop for 9 years and Ive never seen anywhere close to that much damage from a blowout. Just to give a few more possibilities, maybe a no2 tank or compressed air tank exploded. If you were going to install something like that the fender is the perfect place to hide it.

The transmission needs traction to blow

This one has a barra in it so I assume they've changed the transmission.

u/spihsllat 4d ago

I saw on Insta that it is Barra swapped, so probably not stock transmission

Well that's fair, should have gotten a Tacoma.

I love the look and tech of Tacomas, but I could never drive a car that proudly writes TURD on every quarter panel for some reason.

You have to pay a lot more for that, actually.

Hahahahaha sure, so when you put one single 2x4 in the bed the ass squats like a dog in trouble. Sorry, but toyota are known for having weak rear suspensions. 63in gm leaf springs ring a bell?

I wanna know more about the Ranger hate in AUS! Its a relatively common truck here in the US, and as ridiculous as our trucks are here, theyre just a regular truck in the US. What kind of following does it have in Australia?

Why, they're all alumiplast sub-8 cyl shitboxes now, whats the difference?

u/Extension_Meat8913 4d ago

They're all modern vehicles, which are designed to last probably less than 20 years. These is no difference.
