Ford Ranger 4x4 snow traction test : 2WD, 4WD, Diff Lock and Terrain Management system!

The new Ford ranger can be fitted with a terrain management system! This advanced technology provides an added measure of control, on or off the road. The available Terrain Management System (included in the FX4 Off-Road Package) has four selectable drive modes. Choose Normal, Grass/Gravel/Snow, Mud/Ruts or Sand. The system, shifting on the fly, automatically calibrates engine responsiveness, transmission gearing, and vehicle control systems to provide optimum traction, drivability, and performance. Our new Ford ranger was equipped with the FX4 Off-Road Package! This off-road package features a unique off-road-tuned suspension, all-terrain tires, a frame-mounted heavy-gauge steel front bash plate and skid plates, rear locking differential, innovative Terrain Management System with four distinct drive modes and Trail Control! Just lock that rear diff and: just send it! This Ford Ranger off-road is a beast when it comes to winter fun and snowdrift! ( Even if it's not the Ford Ranger Raptor )

So check out our video of our traction test in the snow with the Ford Ranger Fx4 Off-road!

Ford Ranger test note, with all that ice and no proper winter tires, considers this test was made just for fun!

[ianlogan]

I think a lot of people missed the point. Everyone is an expert. Great vid, exactly what I wanted to watch. To see the difference between 4wd and 2wd with a locker (for my next purchase) .
Thanks

I had an 85 Ranger, 2wd with an open differential. I lived in the Appalachian foothills of Kentucky. I took that truck everywhere under every type of weather condition one could imagine. I had no fear and I could drive it. In my opinion ground clearance, tires, and experience will get you out of a jam 99% of the time. The great equalizer is ice. Marketing has convinced people that the need 4x4's to go to the store in the rain. All so the manufacturers can charge you more money for it.

LoL, people say it’s more like a sedan or suv just because it drives better than the old truck? It is a truck, it is body on frame, it has more torque than the na v6, it pulls more, it is faster and handles better, it has better fuel efficiency and a smooth ride. You can keep your old-school way, but those are the facts and most people like them.

[CharmelionZard]

Instantly one of my new favorite videos on YouTube. It shows you exactly what each system helps do and the video makes it’so damn simple to understand.

[pablomoreno]

Good electronics, impressed with the difference the terrain management made

[jonsworkshop]

Well done, one of the most informative videos on the Ranger on YouTube, and not a word spoken! I have just bought one of these and thought I had an issue with intermittent drive to front wheels in low box, I now see this is as designed and can understand why. Superb video! Cheers, Jon

[robertwieczorek]

Now this is a video on truck capabilities. Best on youtube. Keep this style of content please!

[willie]

good demo showing rangers capability on ice

[ebnhahn]

Excellent test. Ranger performance was great.

[alaskasfinest]

Honestly can’t wait for winter ❄️ my Ranger is totally ready

[andreasm]

Impressive, and doing that with a AT tire was very good. I wonder how it would've done with a dedicated snow tire but regardless a very informative video.

[albinogator]

It takes a driving experience for one to understand that the 4 banger in this thing is ACTUALLY SOLID. 100 mph is easily achieved on the freeway

[victorr.cortes]

Love this pick up, American Version of course!!!!😅👍

[brothercolby]

Thanks for making th is video. I have all these features on my truck and it just iced here in Louisiana. Now I know what to put truck into to drive in the ICE...THANKS

[Travster]

Can't afford 600 a month on an f150, will definitely be going the ranger route next year for around half the price

[BetaRacer]

The diff lock only works up yo 23MPH i think, or even lower than that. So ones one wheel spins faster than that rpm it disengages. So a slow start is needed

[pensforgts]

it looks like 2wd and good at tyre is enough for me. I am sur it can handle some basic off road too.

[bfwaring]

So in that kind of snow, should I leave the 2WD truck home? Looks like you still got up that hill 👍🏻

[Lon]

Looks like the Diff lock works against TCS a bit especially in 2WD (not surprising since not much TCS can do other than cut power when both wheels slipping together)
