It's ironic all the kaka press Ford SA is getting lately & here the Ranger pops up in number 1 spot.

Backs up what I have been saying in the Kuga thread. The bad Kuga press will not affect the Ranger and Ecosport's sales. The products are brilliant and that's why they have been selling so well.
Blood money FTW (side eyes at Roux)
Side note for those not aware, I am biased AF with regards to those 2 Ford models

Yo @FlashSA hows the sound system in your new MY2017 Ranger?

Glad you asked. Also a massive improvement over my previous pre-facelift. I can now crank Tiesto Clublife with zero door speaker distortion. On my old bakkie the speakers started to distort and I had to turn the bass way down. I am very happy!
My wife and I swapped cars today as her Ecosport needed to go in for a rear door adjustment. She never liked driving my previous Ranger, but today, she is now saying she is not giving me my new Ranger back!
I have never experienced a facelift that has so many improvements in!

So I have been playing more with Sync 3. It can read your sms's and whatsapp messages to you. It can also send a new sms or whatsapp message all via voice commands. Android Auto really is amazing and works very well with Sync 3. Google maps are as good as they are on one's smartphone.
I am thinking about doing a walk through video which I will link in here if I do finally get to it.

Only thing I wanted, but can't have in the XLT (not bothered with auto cruise control and lane departure warning). This is so handy for charging a laptop. At least the 2 USB ports up front pump out at 2 AMPS for charging a phone or tablet.

How to make Ford's Ranger kula than a Kuga
We’ve all had our fill of jokes about hot Fords, but it is true that all engines, even turbodiesels, battle to breathe in very hot conditions at altitude.
A diet of cold, dense air is what any engine requires to perform at its best but this is often in short supply in South Africa - which is why Strydom Park-based RGM has developed a bolt-on larger capacity intercooler for Ford’s muscular 3.2-litre, turbodiesel five.
Many owners of Rangers and Everests fitted with this engine have noted a loss of performance and increased turbo lag in very hot conditions, especially at high altitudes.
So the cool dudes (sorry, couldn’t resist it!) at RGM imported a thicker, more efficient, core blank and fitted custom-designed, locally made upper and lower tanks to make a larger-capacity, more efficient all-aluminium intercooler that bolts straight on, in place of the factory unit and delivers significantly more air, at a lower average temperature, without causing a drop in inlet manifold pressure.
How much is ‘significant’?
Enough to improve peak power by 7-8kW and torque by 12-15Nm on RGM’s in-house dyno, with a corresponding gain in mid-range drivability.
An RGM Supercool upgrade takes just one day to install on your Ranger or Everest and will cost you R8500, which includes a six months’ or 20 000km warranty.
