Our Ford Ranger XLT 2015  - Here is My Review of the Ford Ranger XLT 2.2L Auto 4x4 6Speed

Here is my review , my thought after using Ford Ranger XLT. I am not a big fan of 4x4WD or truck car since I am more into sedan or family car like MPV or SUV. 

But. when mr.Husband intend to buy a truck car, and after making some comparison with other brand of truck car, he eventually end up bought the Ford Ranger XLT, and of course we prefer to have auto car since our experience driving the manual car during crowded congested peak hours in the city. Ouch! you know what I feel right? How switching gear, standby on the clutch pedal is not a joke!

I am not a good reviewer when it comes to car. But, here is what I feel , my experience driving the Ford Ranger XLT. And I will not compare this XLT with other trucks since I never drive any other than this. There is no apple with apple to compare with.

The reason why we bought the XLT , first because of its performance and the price. That is what mr.Husband told me. Ok, this one is not matters to me since I am not the one responsible about the payment, but yes I am a driver too, so performance is important especially when I have to drive along the hilly / bumpy road. The car need to pick up fast when there is a change of incline road or bumpy road, still the truck maintained its momentum and easy to maneuver. Thanks to its electronic power steering, I guess.

The interior design. I am not bothered either it is touch screen at the dashboard or either it is leather or just some fabric upholstery for the car seat. As long as the seat is comfortable, I am ok. And yes, the driver's seat has height adjustability. This is a plus mark for the XLT. 

And the back seat has center armrest for extra comfort and 12V power socket for recharging gadgets / smartphones and abundant space for the leg, elbow and head as well. 

This Ford Ranger XLT has no reverse camera installed but it has the rear sensor to aid the driver for easy parking / reverse movement.

Have you tried Ford Ranger XLT ? I wonder how the 10Speed feel like? hehe. 

Looking forward to try the Ford Ranger Raptor or maybe the Ford Ranger Wildtrak. Tak nak belanja sis drive ke?

Anyway, thanks for reading.

cheers.
