Had it done about a month ago... absolutely brilliant.

All the screaming chimes are gone. If it matters, like a seat belt
reminder/warning, pax door open etc, it still appears on the dash
screen; press a button on the steering wheel, alert is gone.
Now comes with DPF status, so you can tell when your car is going to
stink, i guess.

Had the smart charging system turned off, would love a volt meter in the
menu, but have resorted to a cig lighter fast charger that shows
voltage. Poorly. One of these on order..

Other than that the Ranga is still doing what its advertised to do..cant
believe how cheap it is to run vs the Navara... Whilst diesel has been
around 2.40 per litre, i'm getting near 850k out of a tank. Navara
would be 600 at best.

Nice.

Looking forward to getting mine, but February looks to be pushed out to
March/April now if I want to stick with my original order of the V6
Wildtrak with premium pack option.

The wait doesn't bother me as I have other cars, but in the mean time
Volkswagen has released teasers of the new Amarok, and it looks like a
pretty nice bit of kit. Same engine/trans as the Ford, but different
body and interior.

Decisions decisions.....

Happy I bought mine when I did.. ordered Nov 2020, delivered Feb 2021.
mate next door is still waiting for his D-max (12 months?) whilst his
wife went and ordered a little toyota suv (can remember the name of it )
and was told 18 months delivery...

We were going to give my wifes Hyundai IX35 awd to the son and buy her a
new chariot.. It's done 85k? since new, but fuck him. He can walk! :-)

8.4 average, with 10 for Urban and 7.5 for Extra Urban. Little too early
to tell how well that relates to reality as while a few of the first
batch of buyers have collected their cars over the past week, they'll
need to get a few miles on the things before they can tell.

My Navara averages 9.9, and if it gets somewhere around there I'll be happy.

Some here would be impressed with their morning pissfat...

I did have a crack at a Ranger in Kangaroo Is as a rental for the day,
and yes, it was red.:-) Enjoyed it's drivability, which is one of the
things that sold me. To me, it drives much like a sedan, just a larger
turning circle. Performance was excellent (it had the 3.2l/6 speed auto
Wife wanted me to get a red one, but I've always liked the dark colored
ones with black wheels and trim. obviously which is what mine has. The
2.0l/10 speed works well, and performs even better. 16,000k and no
serious issues. Maybe remove the capital "R", and just call it "anger" :-D
