We Bought a Ranger Super Duty Without Ever Seeing One!

We bought a Ford Ranger Super Duty XLT to tow our RECONN R4 hybrid caravan full-time — without ever seeing one in real life. This is the moment we saw it for the first time. After our BT-50 was written off on the Duncan Road, we flew from Kununurra to Melbourne to pick up a car we'd bought entirely remotely. We also caught up with our friend Zack, an Advanced Driver Assistance Systems engineer at Ford Australia, who helped us feel confident buying sight unseen. We asked him everything we didn't know — why Ford built the Super Duty, what features, such as the Pro Trailer Backup Assist and Smart Hitch, would benefit us. So why the Super Duty, and not just building up a standard ute? Our answer's at the end. Next episode: the shakedown — 3,861km through the Red Centre, back to Kununurra where our RECONN R4 is waiting. ──────────────────────── THE STORY SO FAR ──────────────────────── We Broke Our 4WD on Duncan Road:    • We Broke Our 4WD on Duncan Road | Wolfe Cr...   Stranded 4,000km From Home — Our 4WD Is a Write-Off:    • Stranded 4,000km From Home - Our 4WD Is a ...   ──────────────────────── MORE FROM US ──────────────────────── Our RECONN R4SE after a year of full-time travel:    • Is This the Ultimate Off-Road Hybrid Campe...   We're Sergei and Louise.
