Speaker 3: Oh good? I can see you still haven't fixed that hair.

18
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 3: It is troubling.

19
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 5: You claim that it was because you went for a swim,

20
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 5: but it looks like you've styled it.

21
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 3: There's like a quiff at the front.

22
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 4: It's really not do you know what it is?

23

Speaker 2: go on, but go on. Well, a bit of a pool,

27
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 2: a bit of a tennis court.

28
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 5: Shut up, mate, right right, all right, right, So.

29

31
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:48,440

Speaker 2: The house mate, he's always he's always pinching my bloody,

00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 2: my bull cream. It's every time I had a lawn

00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: bowls and I'm trying to like make sure my my

Speaker 3: He's come over.

44
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 2: Apparently the new Dyson got released and he just couldn't

00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 2: add himself.

46
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,119
Speaker 4: Construction on this thing.

Speaker 2: Bloody sucked the chrome off a Toba.

48
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:39,680

00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 4: light mold teesers. Anyway, fucking don't run in the house

54
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 4: with that, Trev. You bloody have my eye. This is

55
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 4: off to a great start.

00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 3: This is good.

57
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 4: This is good.

58
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 2: I'd rate this episode if I were you and I

59
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: was listening to my own podcast, right, I'm talking to

60
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 2: the listeners, paplay not to you.

61
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 4: I'm talking to the.

62
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: Listener, I would probably go ahead and just around and

63
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: just just give this thing five stars, because holy this

64
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: is a ship show of just stellar automotive information.

65
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 3: Speaking of which, let's let's start talking about some car stuff.

66
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 4: I'd rather not.

67
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: Let's just before we talk about we are going to

68
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: talk about the Ford Ranger super Duty before we do.

69
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: Is there anything on the horizon it's exciting you, because yes,

70
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 2: tell me tell me one car.

71
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 3: Two things.

72
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 5: Okay, so one that I actually got to see the

73
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 5: other day, the BMW I X three.

74
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 3: Oh, so this sits on.

75
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 5: It's basically what BMW is calling the New Class, which

76
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 5: is an inspiration from the sixties when BMW did the

77
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 5: new Class and it kind of really supercharged the brand

78
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 5: in terms of sales and where it went.

79
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 3: And what they're hoping is this.

80
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 2: I just paused you there because we've seen this design

81
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 2: language of BMW's new Class already yep, and now this

82
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: has seeped into the IX three.

83
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 5: Well, this is the new IX three, So if you

84
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 5: picture the new X three, this looks nothing like it.

85
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 5: So the new class and this modular platform they've created

86
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 5: will spawn something like forty new models, both plug in

87
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 5: hybrid and fully electric, and they're launching with the IX three.

88
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 5: It'll be closely followed by the I three, which is

89
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 5: the electric version of the three series.

90
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 3: And I've got to see this in.

91
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 5: Person and the outside like it's very striking. And to

92
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 5: get the range that they've got out of this, they've

93
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 5: kind of lowered the roofline so it has SUV proportions,

94
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 5: but it isn't sort of really tall like most other

95
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 5: su and it means that they've been able to get

96
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 5: in the model that we saw the fifty basically eight

97
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 5: hundred kilometers of driving range out of a fully electric car,

98
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 5: which is really impressive. Over one hundred kils what hours

99
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 5: of battery capacity. But the thing that blew me away

100
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 5: the most was the interior. This is on another planet.

101
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 5: So they've got the new version of BMW's I Drive

102
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 5: OS X, which is basically OS ten.

103
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 3: Which is cool. But the thing that really blows your

104
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 3: way is.

105
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 5: Over forty inches forty inches of screen on the dashboard.

106
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 4: Oh sorry it is I thought that was a structures.

107
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, from one side to the other. It is huge.

108
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 5: So it basically allows you to fully customize what you

109
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 5: see ahead of you, and it acts in place of

110
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 5: a head up display, so you can actually have whatever

111
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 5: you want up there.

112
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,559
Speaker 3: Basically, it is just it is out of this world.

113
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 5: So I think they have done an incredible job with

114
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 5: the interior and the tech. This to me is what

115
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 5: new cars are about. Like Mercedes Benz the other week

116
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 5: launched the new S class Oh yeah, and I was like,

117
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 5: what the hell is this? It looks exactly like the

118
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 5: old one. They debuted heated seat belts. It's like, wow, yeah,

119
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 5: whooped de doo. Like it is just such a low

120
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 5: effort car. And the fact that they had to have

121
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 5: so many like influencer types there like Roger Federer and

122
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 5: all these other people just shows you.

123
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 2: And they were all doing like a happy Birthday Mercedes

124
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 2: or something.

125
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 4: Did you see that?

126
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 5: It was just it really just felt very like just

127
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 5: legacy car company and like them genuinely feels like they've

128
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 5: given up. So to see BMW come out with this

129
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 5: brand new type of vehicle and just so much Yeah,

130
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 5: it is just so cool.

131
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 3: I'm actually excited by this.

132
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 5: I haven't been excited by something new from the Germans

133
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 5: for quite some time. So yeah, really impressed with this.

134
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 5: I just hope they don't go nuts with the pricing.

135
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 5: The previous generation of the IX three came in at

136
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 5: under LCT threshold, so under ninety thousand dollars. I really

137
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 5: hope they can squeeze in the entry level under that

138
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 5: ninety k mark, because if they can, I reckon they're

139
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 5: going to sell sell quite a few of these.

140
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that screen you're talking about, is that part of

141
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 2: the windscreen I don't understand.

142
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 4: Instead of a hare, it.

143
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 5: Basically sits Yeah, it sits on this black panel that

144
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 5: stretches across the entire windscreen and it's projected onto there.

145
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 5: So it basically projects this image onto this black section.

146
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 3: And it's so hard to explain it it's basically real time.

147
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 5: If you open up the infotainment system and move things around,

148
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 5: it follows your finger as you're putting it up there

149
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 5: like it is super high end. They've also ditched the

150
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 5: eye drive controller that's now completely gone as well, so

151
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,679
Speaker 5: it is strictly a touch screen for the infotainment system.

152
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 5: So yeah, it's just full on. You've got to see

153
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 5: this thing in person. It is really impressive.

154
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 2: Wow, I cannot wait. You know what impressed me the

155
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 2: other day? What I was driving a good On two

156
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 2: thousand and four nine.

157
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 5: Six oh go on, like a base carera Yeah, base

00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:03,480

Speaker 4: It was auto.

160
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 2: It was trip Tiptronic, and it was like that was

161
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 2: I think that's the only way I'm going to get

162
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 2: my missus over the line with with me getting one

163
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 2: of these cars, because she she's going to have to

164
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 2: drive it eventually.

165
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 4: She picks me up from the pub.

166
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 2: Every now and then, so she's going to have to

167
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 2: drive this thing, and she doesn't want to drive a manual.

168
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 5: But the problem is a pre PDK nine to eleven

169
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 5: they were a bit ship as an auto, so you

170
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 5: kind of have to get either a manual or go

171
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 5: to a what was it. Did you say nin nine six?

172
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 5: So when did the PDK debut?

173
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was about two thousand.

174
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 4: I think it was later.

175
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 2: So this is a because this is about a two

176
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 2: thousand and four okay, so.

177
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 3: That wasn't nine nine seven maybe nine nine seven. Was

178
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 3: PDC going to google this?

179
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, because my my, my old Porsche had a PDK

180
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 2: and okay, and that was actually quite deep larded.

181
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 5: Okay, So two thousand and eight in the nine ninety seven.

182
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 5: So can you stretch the budget to a nine nine seven?

183
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 3: Yes?

184
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 4: I think so.

185
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, if you.

186
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 5: Can, then I think the auto is fine in that.

187
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,719
Speaker 5: Then what on earth is what are you? Was a

188
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 5: protein bars? Getting my protein in coming from you? Mister

189
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 5: three caramel?

190
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 4: I think thank you? Fucking went for a.

191
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 5: Fourth no comment, but yes, I reckon nine seven he's

192
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 5: going to be the way to go.

193
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 2: I'm aboud to do an ad because we need a sponsor,

194
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 2: and this is the sort of ads that we could

195
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 2: do for you.

196
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 4: If you've got a company or a bus.

197
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 5: By the way, if we need a sponsor, we probably

198
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 5: need to tell them to email us at the right

199
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 5: place because in the ad it's for the wrong email address.

200
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 2: Oh fuck has it really, I'll tell our Bozz, the

201
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 2: guy who does our bits and pieces out and stuff, Bozz,

202
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 2: fucking can you get that right? That's costing us thousands

203
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 2: every single episode, thousands of yen.

204
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 4: Thousands and thousands of yen.

205
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 3: That's what it admits.

206
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 2: Jam and Maw have really tried to contact us many times,

207
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 2: have hacked into my iPhone, but they can't send us

208
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 2: a fucking email because of you anyway.

209
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 4: So can I just tell you one thing.

210
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 2: It was so refreshing to jump in his car and

211
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 2: just to smell a fucking car from the early two

212
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 2: thousands that has clearly probably done some sort of like

213
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: executive cocaine and all sorts of stuff in it, but

214
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: the plastic, that shitty kind of early two thousands pluses

215
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 2: that the Porsches had.

216
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 4: He could hear it creaking, and it was brilliant. I

217
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 4: loved it. Not a fast car by any stretch.

218
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 2: Fuck it was slow, but it was so refreshing to

219
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: be driving along in a car that was so well

220
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 2: engineered and no warning systems whatsoever on that thing.

221
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 4: Zero, Just fucking delight those.

222
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 2: I would love to have a chat to the people

223
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 2: at an CAP and the people who represent an cap

224
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 2: and the people who make up the fucking criteria for

225
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 2: selling you what they call a safe car, because the

226
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 2: amount of safety systems that I would argue till the

227
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 2: day I die, these are not these are doing anything

228
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 2: but fucking keeping you safe. I just think like, when

229
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: you're getting that many confusing warnings and you don't know

230
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 2: what the fuck is going on, it is absolutely pointless

231
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,319
Speaker 2: and it does more harm than good. I wonder if

232
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 2: let's quickly ask chat GPT one question, right.

233
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 4: Hey there, Gordy bitched it.

234
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 2: Can you tell me if the safety systems on these

235
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 2: cars have made any difference to the road tolls in

236
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 2: the last ten years.

237
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 6: I get you on a straightforward answer, and I'm happy

238
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 6: to help. The safety systems on modern cars, things like

239
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 6: autonomous emergency breaking, lane departure warnings, and stability control have

240
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 6: definitely contributed to reducing road fatalities over time.

241
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 4: But it's not I'm sorry, I keep dying means no worries.

242
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,719
Speaker 6: As I was saying, the drop in road tolls over

243
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,599
Speaker 6: the last decade is a combination of safer vehicles and

244
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 6: other factors that are road design, stricter laws, and public awareness.

245
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 6: So yes, those safety features have helped, but they're part

246
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 6: of a bigger picture.

247
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 2: Do you know what I do love about chat JP tay.

248
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 2: I'm going to show this to my wife because when

249
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: I talk.

250
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 4: She stopped.

251
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 7: The floor.

252
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 4: Sorry, please don't interrupt my show. Thank you got it?

253
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 4: No interruptions for me.

254
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 3: Say later, good lucky with that. Yep.

255
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 2: Oh Ford RNA, super Judy, she a big super Duty.

256
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 2: Go are you gonna buy one of these?

257
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 4: Yes or no?

258
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 3: Yes? I have bought one, did just waiting for yet delivered. Yep.

259
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 5: So the I didn't get the Taliban Tanna and I

260
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 5: got the dark.

261
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 3: Green whatever it's called, but it is.

262
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 5: I'm getting the style side versions of the one with

263
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 5: the tube.

264
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 4: Good choice, yep.

265
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 5: But yeah, we just drove the Super Duty and you

266
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 5: know what I came away with mixed thoughts. And I'll

267
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 5: start off with probably the first thing, which is what

268
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 5: I said to them back when we first looked at

269
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 5: the car. I said that for this to work, it

270
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 5: needs to be reliable, like it needs to be a

271
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 5: lot more reliable than you know, you go to a

272
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 5: range of forum and yes it's going to have problems

273
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 5: in it.

274
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 3: But if people have problems with.

275
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 5: This and it is meant to be a heavy duty.

276
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 5: You know, it's in the name super duty. It is

277
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 5: not going to have the reputation of something like a

278
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 5: seventy series.

279
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 3: So I say that from the start.

280
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 5: Then I watched a video by four Wheel Drive twenty

281
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 5: four to seven where they were testing super Duty.

282
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 3: And now, these guys probably go.

283
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 5: Beyond what a normal person would do, but in this instance,

284
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 5: I think it was at the start of their test

285
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 5: they didn't really sort of do anything, and basically they had.

286
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 3: The car start shutting down on them.

287
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 5: And Ford's rationale was that the alternator was clogged up

288
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 5: with mud, and as a result to that, once the

289
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 5: alternator clogs up, you end up training in twelve volve

290
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 5: battery and then all of the car systems gradually stopped working.

291
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 5: Now that's a normal thing for any car, right in

292
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 5: terms of what happens when an alternator stops. But you

293
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 5: shouldn't have an alternator stop on a range of super duty.

294
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 5: It should be designed in a way that that doesn't

295
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 5: become a problem. Second, the failure mode of this was

296
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 5: just catastrophically bad. While the host of the channel, I'm

297
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 5: I'm not sure what his name was.

298
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 3: But while he was driving it.

299
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 5: It had all these warnings on the screen that he

300
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 5: obviously just ignored for some reason, but he kept driving

301
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 5: and when he went to pull over, he lost power

302
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 5: assisted steering, power assisted brakes, and then the car truck

303
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 5: to put itself into. This is like just insanely bad

304
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 5: failure mode for this type of vehicle.

305
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 3: So and then just before we filmed our.

306
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 5: Thing, one of those raffle companies that was giving one

307
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 5: away switched their car on and the thing had like

308
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 5: a diesel runaway, which happens if you overfill a vehicle

309
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 5: with oil. And they threw someone at this dealership under

310
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 5: the bus because the car was delivered to them on

311
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 5: a tilt tray, and then when they switched it on,

312
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 5: it it had this diesel runaway event.

313
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 3: Even in that regard your.

314
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 5: Car, they should have systems in place that if the

315
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 5: car is overfilled with oil, don't start the thing, you know,

316
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 5: don't let it get to the stage where it'll have.

317
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,800
Speaker 3: This runaway event where you know, it can just be dangerous.

318
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 5: Like it's just a simple stuff like that. So if

319
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 5: you put that to one side, we did a lot

320
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 5: of testing with the car. We hooked it up to

321
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 5: our trailer, dine and instead of testing at three killing uons,

322
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 5: which is what normally what we test all the dual

323
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 5: caveats and SUVs, I thought, let's just double that to

324
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 5: six because this is the super duty. And basically it

325
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 5: sort of did reasonably well. But what started showing itself

326
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 5: was that this thing has quite a lack of punch.

327
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 5: They've basically tuned the emission system to meet European emissions

328
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 5: requirements and as a result of that, it is basically

329
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 5: starved of power. It has quite a lot of emissions

330
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 5: control equipment on an including ad Blue, and you can

331
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 5: really feel that this thing weighs, you know, more than

332
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 5: a wild track. And that's before you put the tray

333
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 5: on it. You put a train accessories on, you're looking

334
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 5: at five or six hundred kilos more than a WildTrack,

335
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 5: with less power than a V six WildTrack. It really

336
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 5: starts showing itself as being underpowered for what it is.

337
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you could have probably would have known

338
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 2: that from the moment and jumped in though, right.

339
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 3: No, not really. I knew the power figure.

340
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 5: I just didn't expect it to be as sluggish as

341
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 5: it is, even with no load in it.

342
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 3: It feels really sluggish the second you loaded up.

343
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 5: We loaded it up to eight thousand kilos gcm, which

344
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 5: is the vehicle's maximum carrying capacity, and at that stage

345
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 5: I didn't feel comfortable with that much load, and in

346
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 5: terms of its acceleration like it felt like, yes, yes,

347
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 5: it can move from A to B, but the second

348
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 5: we got to our hill climb, it felt like it

349
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 5: was really struggling. So I think that they've gone a

350
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 5: bit too hard with the emission stuff and also probably

351
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 5: detuned it so you get longevity out of it. And

352
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 5: as a result of that, it just feels like it

353
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 5: lacks punch, which is a shame because the rest of

354
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 5: the car is absolutely bulletproof and we stuck it up

355
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 5: on the hoist and had to look under it.

356
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 3: This isn't just a tartt up ranger.

357
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 5: They have really gone to town on this huge load,

358
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,360
Speaker 5: control arms, a massive diff out of a full transit.

359
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 5: You've got parabolic leaf springs, bigger dampers, quite incredible underbody

360
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 5: protection all the way through.

361
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 3: Protected fuel tank.

362
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 5: Fuel tank is bigger and it needs to be because

363
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 5: this us pretty much as much.

364
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 3: Fuel, if not more than a raptor.

365
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 5: So it is a big, sturdy, vehicle, So certainly from

366
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 5: that point of view, it's excellent. I just think they've

367
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 5: potentially missed a trick there with the engine.

368
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:12,959
Speaker 2: I wonder who's going to buy this. I mean, I

369
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 2: feel like this is very much a farmer's car. It's

370
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 2: positively like a trading car or some sort of a

371
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 2: like a trade fleet sort of car, if you know

372
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,199
Speaker 2: what I mean. But yeah, I'm due to jump in

373
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 2: this next week, I think, and I'm looking forward to it.

374
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 2: I had a bit of a quick go the other

375
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 2: week and nice. It's it's almost like I did feel

376
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 2: how sluggish it was, and I didn't toe anything obviously,

377
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 2: but yeah, I feel like they got ninety five percent

378
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 2: of this car right, But there was just like some

379
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 2: really fucking obvious, obvious bits and pieces that stood out

380
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 2: and you're like, ah, guys, what what are you doing? Wow?

381
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 3: And it's expensive. It is a big old chunk of change.

382
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 5: So I think that when you put it in the

383
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 5: context of how much work you have to do to

384
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 5: a seventy series to get it to the level where

385
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 5: it can carry this load and even carry this.

386
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 3: Load, but to get it to a level where it's

387
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 3: it's useful.

388
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 5: As a as a vehicle that is going to be

389
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 5: taken out to the bush and used by some of

390
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 5: these industries like fire industries and load carrying. I think

391
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,199
Speaker 5: that's where you really start seeing the advantage of the

392
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 5: super Duty.

393
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 3: But you know, it is a narrow use case.

394
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 5: I think that their sales are probably like, we're already

395
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 5: starting to see discounts on super Duty, so it just

396
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 5: tells you that private. Yeah, look, they may have sold

397
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 5: a few to start with, but I think most of

398
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 5: the sales are going to be in the sort of

399
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:33,199
Speaker 5: passenger version with the.

400
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 3: Normal tray in it.

401
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 5: So I think that's what we're going to see this

402
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 5: sort of uptick, because you're going to get people buy

403
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 5: it for the sake of buying it it being a

404
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 5: useful tool.

405
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 2: I felt the interior was a little lacking in parts,

406
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 2: like you're really getting basic cloth seats, well launched with.

407
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 3: What they launched with was the base model.

408
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 5: So what is coming is the XLT and that picks

409
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 5: up your sort of headed in cooled seats and a

410
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 5: few other sort of bits and pieces. They launched with

411
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 5: the base model to start with. But excel T will

412
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 5: bring some of those creature comforts that some some industries

413
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 5: may want.

414
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 4: Mmm, so would you get them one? The green one?

415
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 3: Yeah? I know what the color is it?

416
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 4: And when do you get it?

417
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 3: April ish.

418
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 2: You can put some little bits and pieces on it,

419
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,679
Speaker 2: some fluffy seat covers or something.

420
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 3: Like that, just a little exhaust. Yeah, nutholder, nutholder salted nuts.

421
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 4: Oh okay, I was going to say a nutholder for

422
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 4: a year.

423
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 3: That wouldn't be much.

424
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 2: Get a little tea speech, they'd be salted speaking about

425
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 2: big utes.

426
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, Cherry, Yeah.

427
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 3: Cherries popped their ute.

428
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 5: Cherry, Hey, not even hello. So Cherry has unveiled the

429
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 5: basically their unnamed yute. And this thing looks bloody sensational.

430
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 5: I'm going to show you a picture Gordy.

431
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 4: Looking at a silver one. Jesus, it looks there.

432
00:20:58,359 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 3: You haven't.

433
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 4: Oh look at that.

434
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 2: Oh god, it's got the same headlights in it as

435
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 2: that that other thing.

436
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 3: It's kind of like a Bronco.

437
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 4: No, it's like a Bronco.

438
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 2: Stop the headlights. Okay, the headlights the car. It gives

439
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 2: another one of the front squeezy squeeze. It's not bad.

440
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 4: It actually looks all right.

441
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 5: So yeah, they're they're going pretty hard with this and

442
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 5: they're kind of late to the party, but I think

443
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 5: deliberately so because they're looking at what everyone else has

444
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 5: done and they want to try and fill the gaps

445
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 5: where those others haven't worked out how to do what

446
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 5: they're doing. So I'm talking about a half ton YEP

447
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 5: that's one of them, three and a half done break

448
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 5: towing capacity, diesel and petrol plug in hybrid from my understanding,

449
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 5: which is pretty crazy talking about a thousand kilos of payload.

450
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 5: The interior looks absolutely next level. So they've got auxiliary

451
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 5: switches similar to Ranger. You've got headed and cooled seats, front, center, rear,

452
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 5: deer flock. It is like a rocket ship here in

453
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 5: terms of the equipment you have inside the cabin.

454
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 3: And it's big as well. So they didn't talk dimensions.

455
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 5: Today, but you know, this appears to me like a

456
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 5: vehicle that sits bigger than a Ranger like it is.

457
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 3: It is a whopper of a thing. So this is

458
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 3: huge for.

459
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 5: Cherry because you know, this this is a brand that

460
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 5: has poached a lot of people from other car companies

461
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 5: and they're really trying to build this stable of vehicles

462
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 5: and having driven some of the recent stuff like the

463
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 5: T nine.

464
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 3: I mean the value that you're.

465
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 5: Getting out of that car, three electric motors, explosive acceleration

466
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 5: on thousand k's plus of driving range is really impressive

467
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 5: there in terms of what you can do with it.

468
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 5: So yeah, I'm excited to see what this is like.

469
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 5: Launching in Australia late this year. It's just crazy to

470
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 5: me that they can take what is a rolling like

471
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 5: clay slash wood model that they showed us to a

472
00:22:55,840 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 5: production car within a matter of you know, twelve months.

473
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 3: It's pretty pretty awesome.

474
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 5: So yeah, I'll be keen to see what it's actually

475
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,239
Speaker 5: like and how it drives, because it's easier to come

476
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 5: up with a concept, but executing it and making it

477
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 5: work that's the hard part.

478
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, do we know about off road equipment on the set?

479
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 3: Look, it's the car they had on display.

480
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 5: It was kind of like a bit of a demo car,

481
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:21,719
Speaker 5: so it had beef Goodrich Ko three tires, external reservoir suspension.

482
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 5: You know, it was pretty sort of meety. I suspect

483
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 5: this is like a hardcore off road version, perhaps just

484
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 5: a concept. I think the standard one will have a

485
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 5: more sedate setup, but the car that we did see

486
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,479
Speaker 5: had switches for front, rear and center diflocks, which is

487
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,360
Speaker 5: a pretty impressive sort of repertoire of off road equipment

488
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 5: to be able to get around in.

489
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, what are they pricing this at.

490
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 5: We don't know yet, but I think logically they'd have

491
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 5: to be starting at about the fifty thousand dollar mark.

492
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 5: If you want to compete with a Shark, which is

493
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 5: high fifties, you'd want to be within that fifty to

494
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 5: sixty price bracket. So I think that's going to be

495
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 5: where they need to be, And it's just going to

496
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 5: be interesting if you're a mid to be issue with

497
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 5: the Try or a Nissen with the new Navara, which

498
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 5: bizarrely they've priced much higher than Triton even though it's

499
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 5: the same car. I just think that you're going to

500
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 5: be struggling if you're one of those brands. These guys

501
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 5: are really just going to be taking a lot of

502
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 5: sales from legacy car brands.

503
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:14,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

504
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 2: God, even the Bloody We didn't really talk about it

505
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 2: last year, but even though fucking High Lucks debacle, I

506
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 2: actually think this looks way nicer than the Highluks.

507
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's not hard.

508
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, looks better with a giant bullbar on it.

509
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 2: But yeah, actually I saw a really good looking twenty

510
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 2: twenty six high Lucks. It had crashed into a tree

511
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 2: and it was it was burning. There's no one in there.

512
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 2: I just lit the thing on via myself. A big

513
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 2: shout out to Toyota. If you're listening, thanks for Stars

514
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 2: five Stars podcast, five Starts podcasts.

515
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, run out of cars, I don't have anything? Yeah

516
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 4: what else?

517
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 3: What we did say? This was going to be quick

518
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 3: and dirty.

519
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, just like you, Just like me with my stupid hair.

520
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 4: I'm gonna get my hairself a haircut.

521
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 2: I'm going to book myself as soon as we're done

522
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 2: with this, I'm going to book myself in a fucking haircut.

523
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, do it? Do it?

524
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 4: Actually, I've got some you know what I'm excited about.

525
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 2: I'm about to jump in my first.

526
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 4: Jacu Oh who Jacob?

527
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 3: Get it? Which one?

528
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 4: I don't know?

529
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 2: The one that's probably like this, not the smallest SUVs

530
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 2: like the five J five J five BB.

531
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 4: They look good, don't they? They really do look nice?

532
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 3: Yeah?

533
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 5: Jake, who is under that sort of Cherry umbrella and

534
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 5: it's kind of their sort of more premium brand. Cherry

535
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 5: is the sort of entry level JKU and a motor

536
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 5: and then the sort of more premium things. So yeah, look,

537
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 5: I think that I've seen a few of these on

538
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 5: the road down They actually look really decent and they

539
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 5: offer a really good range of colors as well, so

540
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 5: you kind of you really have a fair bit there

541
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 5: to choose from.

542
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm to bring this up really quickly. There's going

543
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 2: to be like a mid year release of the Ranger

544
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 2: Wild Track. They're phasing out the four cylinder we're getting.

545
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 4: They're saying a.

546
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 2: Slight face left, so I think we'll probably just get it.

547
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 4: We'll get a different grill. I reckon.

548
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 5: It's very minor. The changes they've made are almost insignificant.

549
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 5: But the biggest one is that the end of the

550
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 5: full cylinder. That is huge, because you know, the full

551
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 5: cylinder was kind of people's go to.

552
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 3: They're now forced into the V six.

553
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 5: A lot of this comes as a result of the

554
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:34,719
Speaker 5: ENVEZ the tax. It's forcing manufacturers to start culling their

555
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 5: ranges and it is disappointing because it really reduces options

556
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 5: for customers and it means that you are forced into

557
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,360
Speaker 5: a V six now if it's not what you.

558
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 3: Wanted and ironically, that is just going to emit more.

559
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 4: I had a V six, I had the wild Track.

560
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 4: What do you call it? The fucking hybrid? Oh, it's such.

561
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 2: A Again, this goes back to like they nailed it

562
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 2: ninety five percent of the way. But why they Why

563
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 2: you're paying extra for this hybrid that does forty five

564
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 2: k's and that's generous, It's silly. I mean, the only

565
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,879
Speaker 2: thing is the only good thing I was thinking of

566
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 2: the positives is maybe the outboard power that you've got.

567
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 5: I mean, that stuff is fantastic because you can then

568
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 5: run the engine as a generator. Yeah, the problem is

569
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,280
Speaker 5: the generator is going to kick on pretty early if

570
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 5: you really sucking the juice out of it, because the

571
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 5: battery is so small. So it is just a bizarre

572
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 5: choice to design it the way they did, and I

573
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 5: think that they probably made a mistake. They didn't know

574
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 5: what the rest of the Chinese competitors were going to

575
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,479
Speaker 5: be doing, and I think they've been caught napping with this.

576
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 5: It is expensive, it's under resourced in terms of battery.

577
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 5: It's just a weird choice.

578
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,439
Speaker 2: And doesn't really serve too much of a purpose. Like

579
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 2: to put it in perspective, I took this up to

580
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 2: Port Macquarie started like, I'm driving out of Sydney within

581
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 2: twenty five minutes half an hour that battery and I

582
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 2: wasn't going on full evmode at all.

583
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 4: I was just going in full hybrid mode. That fucking

584
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 4: battery had drained the time.

585
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 2: I was just I'm not going to stop and pull

586
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 2: over and charge that pissy little battery. So most of

587
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 2: the time I was just getting around in whatever was

588
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 2: left of that engine. I mean it was great. I

589
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 2: drove it on the SAD. I had fucking lots of

590
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 2: fun in that car. I love I love the Rangers.

591
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 2: But again, just a weird, weird choice. I'll tell you

592
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 2: what's bloody good. You know the little flexi brackets that

593
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 2: that one has and it comes in the oh yes, premium.

594
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 2: Those flexi brackets are great.

595
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 5: They were designed and engineered here in Australia, which is great,

596
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 5: so an Australian engineer basically designed them. They have the

597
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 5: patent for it, and I think that system is sensational

598
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:39,719
Speaker 5: for people who don't know what it is. It's basically

599
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 5: a sports bar that using one hand you can pull

600
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 5: to the back of the vehicle and it will act

601
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 5: as effectively a ladder rack. So it means you don't

602
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 5: need to have this ungainly hoop at the back of

603
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 5: your yout. You just pull the sports bar back for

604
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 5: whenever you need it. It is just a genius system

605
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 5: and it's so cool to see that we are still

606
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 5: innovating with these things here in Australia. It's not all

607
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 5: just you know, importing stuff from China.

608
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I reckon it's worth whatever it is twenty

609
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 2: a half grand extra.

610
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 4: You pay you.

611
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 2: But hey, we're going to wrap contact at the driver

612
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 2: show dot com dot you. He questions, Sorry, what was that?

00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,800

Speaker 4: Okay. Now can you give me the English translation as.

Speaker 6: Pavle from the streets. Small things are cool, but my

00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 6: voice is big. You hear it to the pool. I

Speaker 6: rhyme without fear. The rhythm rolls on. Pavele is small,

632
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,920
