With all due respect, in what world is 9k miles a “High Mileage Review?” 😂
Did you watch the review?
Brian Makse I stopped at “Ford gave me this press Ranger with 9k miles.” Dislike click bait.
Indeed. We’re all about click bait here. 😝
1K more miles and it might be broke in
@@redneckchevy82 Indeed.
I bought the 2019 FX4 Lariat this past October and immediately went on a road trip from Idaho to Minnesota and back (3,300 miles round trip), 90% of the time on the back highways and two-lanes and averaged 25.1 mpg
I just averaged round trip orlando to Chicago at roughly 80mph
24.0
Timothy, how's the MPG in city driving, or stop and go traffic?
@@KenDavis-uo8kq None whatsoever. The only odd noises I've experienced is on particularly cold mornings when I fire it up there is a whining sound, slightly grinding sound. It goes away after a few miles or it gets up over 32F. Could be related to the defrosting system. Haven't pinpointed the source of the sound
Do you drive off road??
@@Chiefab22 A little bit
My 98 f150 has 335k and towed a trailer almost every day for 22 years.... thats high mileage
Got a link to your review?
It’s high mileage for a truck supplied by Ford to the media.
4.6 or 5.4
Yeah and 20+ years older. Fuck off
Lol, my 2004 ranger 4.0 4x4 has 412k and aside from standard maintenance the only issue was a rusty bed.
Older Rangers have always been the best mini-trucks on the road 30+ years of reliable service.
True. I'm trade my tacoma for a bronco or ranger
LOL...I have over 33,000 miles on my 2019 FX4 and happy to report that it runs and looks like new...
Nice.
You probably don’t drive off road??
Do you experience any engine shudder?
good I just bought a 2021
With respect to you 9000 miles isn't a"long term high mileage" review. I tested the XLT 4x4 and the XLT FX4 before I purchased the FX4. The ride in the FX4 is a stiffer more rugged ride. My wife preferred it and at 55 years old she didn't think there was a need for a dampened tailgate she could pick it up and lower it with 2 fingers. It tows our camper great and pulled it up a 7 percent grade at 70 mph. Great truck
Is this review posted on a forum somewhere? Who said anything about “long term”?
I bought one on black Friday and I've been getting around 23.5 as an average it's a super cab with the chrome package and fx4 and couldn't be happier with it. hats off to you and your review keep up the good work
Glad you enjoyed this. Congrats on your truck!
I wish that they would have put the fox shocks on with the fx4 package
@@paulpeters5199 I think that's what's on the Raptor Ranger in the markets where it's available.
Yeah it is I think it would be a better ride with the fox shocks ii can't wait for the ranger raptors to get here in the USA
Peter, how's the MPG in city driving?
Thanks for the review from a new sub. You deserve a lot more views.
Thanks, Ryan. This is *definitely* not our best work. Check out the channel, there’s some stuff you’re bound to enjoy.
I drive a 2019 FX4 XLT Ranger SuperCrew. 24,123 Miles. No issues. Combined 19.7 mpg.
Good to hear.
Seriously dampening tail gates what kind of girls need that. Man it's an amazing truck. If you really need spend 30 bucks and buy the kit. Tired of the tailgate nonsense who cares. It's a truck not a luxury sedan. I'm 8k in on my 2019 and it's been flawless. Plus I sell them for a living lots of happy clients trading there Tacoma's and some folks trading there full size trucks as well. Value to the dollar in comparison it's a great value.
What kind of girls drive Rangers rather than F-150s? Seriously, I’m curious to see how they hold up in the long run.
@@BrianMakse Me too highest mileage I've seen is 40k on a used rental looked an ran fine.
Do tacomas and colorads have damped tailgates? Get over it. $30 and 15 minutes of time solves that
Exactly,everybody complaining about dampening tail gates when they cost less than $30..Later on you'll hear them complain when a manufacturer charges them $200 for adding dampeners.
@@westwood3286 I never complain about money well spent.
I'm shocked how a 2020 Ford Ranger felt brand new in 2020 with 9,000 miles! Never would have guessed. 🤔
It’s like nobody has ever seen “automotive journalists” drive and how much they abuse test cars ffs.
I’m so excited to buy one!
Traded my 2009 2500 Chevy in for my 2020 Ranger. The ranger is more truck than the 2500. Love it! No issues
bet you notice a big difference at the pump lol
@@1234cnl 40 a week compared to 150 lol
@@tylercunningham3398 lol nice
What's the best type of snow plow to hook up to it?
Hi Brian I have the 2021 Ranger STX 2 wd and absolutely love it. Only 3100 miles but no problems.
It's a good thing, enjoy!
Just bought a new 2021 Ranger FX4 crew cab and really like it.. This is my third Ranger. I only hope that the Ecoboost engine holds up as well as those four liter V6's did.
What are the forums saying about longevity?
I have a 019 XLT FX4 ... I found the stock suspension to be too soft/floaty, mine has the FPP Fox 2.0 coilover lift/level kit and an 18” wheel and Nitto AT’s tire pkg... huge improvement over the stock FX4 set up...
Not surprised that Fox is doing good stuff. Why the Nitto, though?
Brian Makse the dealer installed those upgrades which also included a MagnaFlow catback exhaust, spray in bed liner and tailgate dapener. I got it at the end of the year and after rebates and various discounts I got it mid 30’s out the door. Only parts I added was a hard tonneau/running boards. Having driven with the Nittos and a Ranger in stock rubber... the Nittos even felt better on the street very quiet. I’ve done some light off road trips camping, back packing ... they feel pretty good off road too.
@Gingerbread Man I have a 19 fx4 as well with the 3” eibach coilover kit and what a difference. I actually went with 33” Yokohama G003 m/t and they ride amazing. Very fun , truck just hit 10k last week !
How's your truck holding up? How many miles now?
@@Champ_Urrado haven’t any issues, only one recall (an ABS issue) that’s it. I’ve had the FPP ECU tune installed. I have 14K miles’ish on it.
First off, the reviewer was driving a 2019 Ranger, not a 2020, which is why it has 9K miles on it. New 2020 Rangers do not have the word "Ranger" stamped into the front seat leather. Second, the truck he was driving had the FX4 package. The FX4's are known to have a bouncy ride. Yes, everyone knows that it doesn't have a tailgate damper, gee whiz. Much has been made of this. Not sure that this 10-speed trans is the bee's knees, Ford replaced the one in my Ranger with only 5k miles on it. Time will tell. Still love the truck and Ford did make it right. Agree with the reviewer about the gas mileage. My Ranger has rarely gotten over 18MPG.
First off, the commenter is wrong because the paperwork Ford gave me said 2020. Second, dear commenter, not everyone knows they don’t have a damped tailgate, but on the other hand I review more supercars than small trucks.
I also thought 2020 do not have the stamped “Ranger” on the seats. Hope I’m wrong because it’s a cool detail.
I would bet that bouncy ride is due to the single graduated leaf spring in back, there are fortunately aftermarket leaf springs available for this truck.
Sometimes a small truck sounds appealing, but I’ve got a 2018 SCREW F150 FX4 3.5L Eco and it routinely gets north of 19 mpg and it’ll tow 11k+. So, it’s a big beast in parking lots. Oh well
It’s an off road suspension so it’s a bit floaty. So is the off road Tacoma. I test drove one and noticed the same thing but it was comfortable and I thought it drove nicely. It’s on my short list.
This is a street suspension with single chamber dampers, no bypass of any kind, no external reservoirs. The ZR2 and Taco TRD Pro have off road suspensions. Keen to see the Ranger Raptor when we get it.
@@BrianMakse The FX4 does have different shocks than the base Ranger, which is what I believe the other person was referring to.
I'm not sure what the exact differences are, but Ford does claim they are tuned for off road use which might would likely explain some of the bounciness. I'd be interested to see how the default suspension compares to the FX4 suspension. It might alleviate some of the issues you had with the truck.
Overall great review though, very thorough and well put together :)
I have a 2021 XLT and yes it’s a very straightforward vehicle not a lot of fuss I like that. But one major dislike is the steering. It is very loose and all over the place if you’re not constantly adjusting the vehicle. Unlike other trucks it feel disconnected with the road surface like it could veer off the road at any moment if you don’t have strong control on the steering wheel. Also making very sharp turns has a feeling that it might flip. Second dislike is the tailgate it’s super light weight,removes very quick and easy with a screwdriver. Highly recommend a locking model if you don’t want it stolen.
Got a 2019 XLT FX4 Ranger with 7k miles on it. I love it. Average about 20mpg. I’ll probably level or put a small lift on and I’m definitely gonna put new shocks on it. I wish they would bring the ranger raptor to the US!
Agreed! That Raptor needs to get here soon! Better shocks should make a huge improvement to your truck. Stock ones leave a lot to be desired.
I have a 2020 Ranger STX 2wd it’s a great truck gets 20mpg around town 26 on the freeway ! This guy must be a lead foot.
That guy is a lead foot. He's a racing driver.
I have an ‘11 right now, I cannot wait to pay it off an upgrade to a NEWer model...I’ve totally gotta carve out some time to test drive one of these NEW BEOUTCHS! 👍🏻
Savagegeese did a 2020 Ranger review worth watching.
What is that?
How did you manage to get the gas mileage down to the 15's? I've owned one of these for over a year and a half and never have seen gas mileage that low. The worst I ever got was 17.4 towing a 17 foot boat. The best was 25.9 on a long trip, and I average right around 21 in mixed driving. Also, what is the big deal about a non-dampened tailgate. A lot of full size trucks don't have them either. It's a $30 add on you can do yourself if you want it.
I drive flat out. Tacoma has a damped tailgate...from the factory.
Most shift computers will adopt the driving habits of the driver(s) - to reset disconnect battery. Will return to factory setting.
In this case, there would have been dozens of previous drivers, of widely varying abilities and habits.
I have 36,000 on my 2019 ranger and it still drives the same
@@KenDavis-uo8kq not the engine it's the transmission. There are so many gears sometimes slowing down then taking off again it will get confused for a second. You get used to it and isn't really noticable
@@KenDavis-uo8kq you're welcome enjoy to test drive!
@@KenDavis-uo8kq You can turn the engine off at stops option off. When you do, there is zero shudder. With it on, you experience some but its very little.
What is your advise for the four wheel drive? Do you like it?
Never tried it in low traction situations. I'm sure it's solid.
One day I will have 1!
Worthy goal. Nice truck.
I like that Ranger in orange.
I liked it, as well. Distinctive for a small pickup.
Brian where would you rank the Ranger within its competition? Tacoma, Colorado, Ridgeline, Frontier, Gladiator
Great question. Ridgeline and Gladiator are outliers because they're totally different things. The trouble for me is that I already know what I'd buy in the category, which is ZR2. Taco is probably the one to get for retained value, but the ergonomics are a disaster and I couldn't live with that in any trim level. Thus, for me, it comes down to Colorado/Canyon or Ranger and TBH it's six of one, half dozen of another. Realistically, it'll always come down to personal brand preference.
I def see your viewpoint. Thanks for your analysis.
@@BrianMakse i own a 2019 Colorado and a 2019 ranger. I had the same option as you at first. After some time in both the ranger is the winner. The seats in the ranger are next level for ling trips. It has better power curve. The Colorado v6 has lifter noise on startup. The shick issue you had was due to fx4 package. Try a non fx4.
@@dav6973 I know old comment, but the chevy 3.6 is now long lasting near bullet proof whereas these turbo 2.3's have had some gas in oil dilution ....like Honda's turbo in the CRV...but not as bad as them.
2019 Ranger XL Supercrew and getting about 22.6 MPG but I love my truck.
Gas is basically free now, so it’s all good!
Brian Makse lol that is a good point
Get the factory transmission fluid of it, get something good in there (like Amsoil), and keep it changed. You'll see a mpg improvement. Not to mention no future transmission issues.
my 2020 has the same issues as that transmission always trying to upshift and every now and then a clunk where it upshifts about the same time i let off the gass pedal but itonly has 3300 kilometers yes i`m in canada so i`m sure when it gets driven more it will level out some my canyon did well till it died
Interesting to hear. I miss that truck.
Lol, how its holding up after 9000 miles??
I am currently driving a real "high mileage" vehicle: a P71 with 165K miles. In my book, a not quite 1 year old car with UNDER 10K isn't high mileage, but being a press vehicle I guess I can forgive the use of the term.
My biggest concern with Ford's newest vehicles is the company's (over)reliance on EcoBoost engines. Between turbocharging and Direct Injection I am not optimistic that these engines will make it to 6 figure mileages without major repairs.
BTW, driving my car at just under 50 mph I can feel it switching back and forth between 3rd and 4th as I ease up on the gas and/or barely add pressure to the gas pedal. 50 mph/2000 rpm must be THE spot with Ford at which you are switching between "city and country" driving.
What's a P71?
Ford crown Victoria Police interceptor
would you recommend it as a first car?
Absolutely.
From a Lambo to a Ford, i guess someone needs to do the dirty work!
I was genuinely curious about the Ranger. It can't all be Lamborghinis all of the time.
I've had my 2019 Lariat Supercrew FX4 for a year and my mixed mileage always averages out between 20.1 and 20.5 in the DC area (a lot of traffic) and I don't baby it. Highway has been as high as 27mpg (fill up, drive, fill up with very little traffic and if I do baby it). Usually around 25mpg for road trips. Don't understand why yours was so low. My adaptive cruise control shuts off between 14 and 16.
Everybody says they don’t baby their ride when they roll into my channel. It’s not you, it’s me. I’m not afraid of using the throttle.
Why would there be flutter in the front brake rotors at 9,000 miles? That seems like a stretch.
Did you watch the entire video?
My 2020 ranger has 5000 miles on it and your gas mileage seems very off. I recently did a 9 hour drive with about 800lbs of cargo including a tent on a rack over the bed. A nice wind block and still managed to average 17.8 mpg.
Anything over 16 is impossible.
Brian Makse. I just checked my truck again and I got 18.8mpg not 17.8 going from Death Valley area back to Boise. Overall since new is 18.8 with snow Tires removed just 2 weeks ago.
If I’d known fuel consumption would have been a sore spot with you lot of Ranger owners, I’d have approached it differently. For better context, have a look at the kinds of cars I normally review on this channel.
Brian Makse hahahaha😂😂😂 this response had me rolling
People in the rest of the world Ford Ranger its the most common brand of ford trucks!! And this model of Ranger with diesel engine are the most used by users, from the jungles of Indonesia to the Pampas of Argentina...
15.7 mpg. mostly city and freeway. I've been averaging 20.5 mpg. How did you get this average mpg?
I drive flat out, of course.
I’m getting 21.5 mpg average. At first it was horrible but as it broke in it slowly climbed to where I’m at now. First thousand miles I averaged about 17.5 mpg. Takes about 5000 mile to completely break in. I was about to jump on lawsuit band wagon.
i test drove one then came back and asked the salesman why do the shocks suck lol he didnt have an answer. didn really matter to me i would of lifted it and threw fox coilovers on it anyhow. but the main complaint of mine was the engine, if it had any f150 ecoboost on it i would of considered it more. maybe after another year they will add another engine option or a raptor version but imma stick with my f150 till i see anything going on with the ranger
Hope that Raptor is coming soon...but don't ever rely on a car salesman!
Just bought the 2020 Ranger and I do feel the jerkiness between 2 and 3. I also feel shaking when you first get going. The brakes have a lot of travel.
Interesting that you found the same things.
No power sliding back window or sunroof ?
No flux capacitor, either.
mine has 18,000 on it and is still doing great
Miles? Where the heck are you driving?
@@BrianMakse I bought it last April, I race bikes and climb 14ers here in Colorado so a lot of travailing to play.
@@erichouck9487 just curious.. what is the miles on your Ford Ranger now?
@@joshuakarlsen1377 24,896
I dont have any patricular thing to say. This particular comment might be pointless but I do like this particular video about this particular car. particular.
My 2019 fx4 ranger averages 22.4 in the city if you drive it easy.
I don’t drive anything easy.
That's pretty good Victor, I'm thinking of getting a 2020 FX4 and half of my driving will be in city driving, thanks.
What is that Ranger color called?
Orange?
@@BrianMakse Ford calls it Saber
9,000 miles is 'High Mileage'?!? My Tundra got 311,000 miles...That's high mileage!!!!
I bought a 2018 Colorado diesel. If I hadn’t bought the Colorado and I knew the Ranger was coming back. The Ranger would be the truck in my driveway now. I had 4 Rangers in a row and I would definitely purchase the new Ranger. The Colorado has been very impressive over the last 2 years. I been getting 30 mpg and use it to pull my travel trailer in the summer. 6000 lbs.
Glad they brought it back but pisssed they didn’t want to because they didn’t want it taking away from F150 sales
You hit the nail on the head, Rob. Bet it’s still pulling from F150 sales. Impressive mileage with your diesel. I could never get that with any past testers.
yeah 9k isnt high mileage that isnt even broken in...typically break in is around 25-35k
Does anyone actually pay attention to what I said? Clearly, this is a rhetorical question at this point.
Why does everyone complain about no tailgate damper?. Had pickups without for 30 years and never missed them. My 94 Ford had dampers which worked OK but often got jammed so removed them. And 9,000 miles is not high milage, that's 4 months of commuting.
Why is the engine compartment so dirty?
It's a high mileage press car, Ross.
says it wants to" hold 2nd gear"" funny its designed to skip second gear in slow driving lmfao .I have a 19 also. 11k miles no complaints.no gear upshift he speaks of .but my traded Tacoma .thats a upshifting truck!!
I actually don't think I've ever seen my 2019 Ranger shift into second gear while driving normally, I'd be surprised if this one was constantly in it. It's possible what he thought was 2nd gear was actually 3rd, and when shifting from 3rd to 4th the 10-speeds do tend to hold the gear longer and (in my experience) can make the shift from 3rd to 4th feel more drastic than most other gear shifts on that transmission.
I’d like to see how it holds up at 300,000 miles not 9,000 I’m used to Tacoma’s 323,000 miles & up
You talk about 9000 miles like it is 90,000 miles ,I would hope the truck is holding up well it's still new !
great review as always , have you driven any Toyota Tacomas ??? if you had to pick between 2020 Ford Ranger FX4 vs. 2020 Toyota Tacoma TRD offroad , which would u go with ? , IMO hard to trust Ford built quality for long term ownership
Thanks! Excellent question. I’ve only driven the Taco TRD PRO in recent years. What I don’t like about the Toyota is the old school seating position. Would drive me nuts during ownership. Still a big fan of Colorado ZR2 as you’ve probably seen here. Based on this 9k-mile tester, this Ranger was holding up well. Long term? TBD, I suppose.
@@BrianMakse yes exactly in 2019 models , but 2020 Toyota fixed that problem on Tacoma with driver side seat height adjustment etc.. 👍
@@Slickpete83 that'll be interesting to see. The issue I had was the relationship between the pedals and the wheel. Hopefully that helps, but at this rate, it'll be much later this year before I get into one.
I bought a 2019 tacoma trd off road and my only complaint is that the throttle takes 25% to start working and couldnt hold much wheight in the bed. The 2019 ranger fx4 i also bought can hold alot more weight in the bed and not squat but it seems that the bed dents very easy on the inside also has alot more power then the tacoma and blows it away in a street race. I would pick my ranger 500 miles over my tacoma 7k miles at this time
I traded a 17 Tacoma for the ranger. drive both is all I can tell you .(buy the extended if you not feeling fuzzy about the ford but ive owned them before solid trucks in the past.
The Diesel version bi-turbo Ford ranger Wildtrak would be a better buy
Why would you use Adaptive Cruise Control in city driving??????
Of course it will not be effective!!
ACC is for highway travel!
Chuck...sometimes on freeways traffic slows. Like in rush hour.
9k is nothing, my 2019 ranger is at 37k and about 10 months old. No problems other then the Bridgestone dueler tires need to be replaced
Got a link to your review?
@@BrianMakse I can make a review with the the ranger I OWN, but at a REAL HIGH MILEAGE. Maybe like 200k in a few years
Let me know!
this truck needs a diesel and a bigger 21 gallon tank.. then i would trade in my Colorado
9k is way short for a pile of miles and high mileage. It needs a few hundred thousand to make that claim.
Welcome to the past.
I do 9000 miles in four months.
Any manufacturer will go through a press unit with a fine toothed comb before it gets sent out on a review. Pity you guys can't do a review on the 3.2 turbo diesel and the 2.0 biturbo diesel versions we get in the rest of the world.
LOL no, manufacturers don’t.
@@BrianMakse Well i worked for many years with Toyota SA and we had a press department that did exactly that. They wouldn't dream of sending out a car on a press launch or test before making sure it was in perfect condition and free of any problems.
The need to add a V6 to the power train
Agreed. Doubt that'll happen.
i already have almost 30,000 km on mine lol
How it going? Any issues?
I dont see paying the money they asking for these and all the dealer fee add on BS of course. But besides that. Its a 10 year old design that Ford offers as something new in America when the same truck has been all over the rest of the world for a decade. A boosted 4 cylinder? I just prefer a N/A v6. Boosted stuff wears out faster. I prefer a motor that can do all this 4 cylinder does, but with out the need for forced induction to do it. A ranger raptor in rest of the world cost the same as a standard equipped XLT here in America. There is an investigation into the gas mileage. I like that the ranger is back, but I will not consider a new one till there is a V6 option and a redesigned body. Current looking ranger like I said is decade old.
How is it a decade old design?
@@BrianMakse This same truck has been on sale in the rest of the world for the last 10 years. Slight variation to the motors, but the look, overall design is that old.
9k miles high mileage wtf ????
Expected better MPG
I’m not afraid of using the gas pedal.
9,000 miles is not high mileage 🤣
Great speaking voice and good background music for your video. By the way, 9000 miles is “barely broken in miles” . . .
Glad you enjoyed. As for the 9K miles, "automotive journalist" miles are 10X regular driver miles, as I mentioned. Perhaps, I should have stated 90,000 miles, but that would have been massively click baity.
9K miles? That's all. I have an 05 Expedition 175K miles. Talk when it hits 175K plus
Watch my recent Lamborghini Aventador SVJ review.
I dive a 95 Chevy Blazer so anything is an up grade lol
Loved my 95 blazer
You dive bomb bro?
Get back with us at 100K miles.
I’ll wait for your review. I have other cars to drive.
Are we just not gonna talk about that check engine light?
Was the truck running at the time?
Brian Makse lol I guess not... 😅
I was guessing 80k, w t frack
Are you just learning to curse?
Whaddya, some kinda Icehole? Dimmscum FARGIN Bastage
Well miled. 9000 ain't squat my does ranger has 328000, and it's a 1990. Still going but is wearing out. Not garage kept was a everyday driver for 28 years. 2.3l now it's my beater hauler 5 spd.
That's well miled.lol
You're two years too late.
Sorry, as much as I like the truck, it's just too expensive. It costs the same as an F-150 and the only thing it does better is being smaller. It should top out at about 35k.
This is a common refrain, regardless of the vehicle I'm reviewing. Fords. Lamborghinis. Porsches. I don't understand.
@@BrianMakse Not sure what you don't understand. They cost too much. I would never buy a new vehicle. They depreciate to nothing before the loan is paid. Why? Because they cost too dam much for what they are.
Everybody complains about the tailgate not being dampened are you kidding me it probably weighs as much as a shovel
Try it with a broken wrist and get back to me.
@@BrianMakse or a limp wrist
Would you buy this truck over a tacoma?
Better ergonomics.
William Harrison no
i bought a tacoma first .but then tried the ford now driving the xlt in 4x4
I was really disappointed with the new ranger. Way overpriced. Needs more drive train options!
9,000 MILES IS ALOT ON A VEHICLE???"
For me it is and this is my channel. How about you?
Dude, the miles were put on by the media press. They are abusive to say the least.
@@BrianMakse 9,000 miles is less than a year of driving...lol
Not a very good review imo. 9k miles is not a viable review point....ever. We won't have a solid review point for a few more years. Still have to put 50k+ on these new rangers, to really know how they hold up. 9k is a JOKE
Well, that one flew right over your head. There's nothing stopping you from miling up a Ranger and filming an episode.
9000 is high for a Yugo
Lol
I guess if you want to shut people up change the title to "high" miles. Crazy they cant get over that. Anyways thanks for the review! Just bought a 2020.
Nah, this is a year old now, I think. I'm not changing it for people who get angry about failing to understand context. Which model did you get?
@@BrianMakse I ended up with the Lariat 4x4 fx4. Such an easy driving truck. Love everything about it so far.
Good stuff. Enjoy!
I have seen this same truck featured in other auto-media videos, and have seen the way they have abused it off-road and on at the hands of way more drivers than most vehicles will ever have to endure in a lifetime. It appears to be holding up well, but let's check back in about another 50k or so under that same kind of abuse.With that said, I like what I've seen so far of this new Ranger; enough that I recently purchased a 2020 XLT FX4. I had a Lariat model as a rental for a few days back in January and didn't like the all-digital instrument display of the Lariat trim. The XL and XLT both use a more user-friendly analog display that is easier to navigate while driving. I will say the 4wd control knob does not present a very positive feel. It's very vague and difficult to tell what drive setting you're in by looking at it. Fortunately it also comes up on the instrument display as to which mode you're in. Hopefully Ford's engineers will go back and correct this issue for future models. The 2.3 Ecoboost has plenty of power, and does deliver decent fuel economy for the size/weight of the truck, thanks to the 10-speed automatic. Honestly I've never been crazy about turbocharged engines ever since a very bad experience with a turbo-Chrysler from the 80's. When I saw the discounts on this truck during the midst of the Covid-19 shutdowns I decided to take advantage of it. We shall see how it holds up over 100k or more miles in the coming years.
Given your comprehensive comment, I’m looking forward to your review here one day.
My F150 is 75K and I do not consider high mileage....
Out of warranty?
Brian Makse yes but runs like a charm.
9000 miles is high mileage?
