@@lunaazule1899 I have a 94 standard cab... basically like yours. when I look at this it seems like it's the size of an F150 from 20 years ago. all car models inflated over the years (Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, VW Golf, Ford Mustang...) but I still don't get why they have to do that.
@@mr.l2751 yeah, I had to drive the last gen for work years ago. Not a big fan of the trucks themselves, but they didn't really have any competition at the time.
That truck is huge. It is like 4/5ths of an F150. I am tired of being told, "Oh, the Feds say it has to be that big to be safe!" Bullshit, especially when I can go buy a 2,000 pound Mitsubishi Mirage right now. And Ford can't make a Ranger-sized Ranger??
its a mid sized utility, dunno why people keep calling it compact. a low sprung Hilux workmate is closer to a compact. would take a RAM over any mid sized utility though (except maybe an amarok) but the poverty pack ram is 80k here :/
It's all about what sells for the most profit. Vehicles are designed by committees now and the focus groups simply aren't saying Americans want a small truck. You and I do, but their data doesn't and given how much they spend to generate that data I have to believe it over my own opinions of what would sell.
There's a reason a Mirage is a pile of shit and a deathtrap, sizing is the result of that. Plus he already explained that Ford just brought over what was already being sold.
I have always liked small pick up trucks. I would love to get an old Toyota Tacoma as a beat it up and go get stuff for the yard kind of vehicle. Good review, as always Doug.
The sad reality is no company will bring back the manual for small trucks. The modern automatics are more efficient and transfer power more constantly. Us manual truck lovers will have to keep the older ones alive and kicking.
@@twp4603 If we weren't buying smaller trucks anymore how is it immensely stupid? Should Ford just build things and sit on them for years on end hoping for the day they're sold? Seriously, you just have to think about it for 2 seconds lol
Bought a Tacoma in Feb 2018 at 0% interest. I love it more and more every day. I knew the Ranger was coming, but after seeing the styling of the Ranger, glad I went with the Tacoma. I'll take reliability and cool styling after turbo and minivan styling of the Ranger.
I agree Tacoma looks better and holds its value. And statistically, it's more reliable, truck for truck. But wow, the Tacomas are EVERYWHERE. And not that one needs to worry about trendsetting or individuality with a mass-produced vehicle, but yeah, the Tacomas are everywhere. And you can't order one. I mean, you can, but it's a crapshoot if you get it because Toyota doesn't exactly build to order like Ford does. So you're probably stuck with the gray, black, white colors in the same basic trim levels that are out there everywhere or you're driving all over Hell's creation looking for that unique build combination and color that you not only like, but gives YOUR Tacoma a somewhat unique look. Ford? You can build it. You can get the long bed, short cab, bright color, tow package, omit the stupid sunroof or other frills the dealers add, and have the vehicle fit like a glove. But yeah, the Tacoma is a better finanical decision.

@@isaacreinlieb It doesn't really make sense to score the Ranger as an example compared to a McLaren. I'd think he score based on others vehicles in the class.
That and so you know where it is if you ever have to replace it, as it's probably built into the taillight and the parts bloke at the Ford dealer will certainly ask whether or not it's equipped with one.
The sensor/module is right where the print is. I would also guess the print is to explain why there is no "light" in that area of the lens. Same with the F150's, it is dark where the sensor is.

It’s because trucks aren’t actually about utility anymore. The majority of them are used as luxury vehicles, not as a work vehicles. A lot of the people I know who work in traditionally “truck friendly” jobs like handymen or construction workers use old Japanese trucks or compact SUVs. New American trucks are gigantic and usually saddled with BS luxury features, making them too expensive for the demographic that actually uses trucks for their intended purposes.
So deep in the weeds about really silly things. He's perturbed you can't get more than 4 or 5 shades of gray/blue for the background screen? He laughs at needing to keep the truck running for a full 15 minutes after remote starting it?

Yea...everyone can buy a 'smaller truck' for $ 25+++ K! 6 years of payments, and pray the truck lasts as long as the $600 monthly payments. Ford ruined the Ranger!!
“Performance is excellent.” “Performance is fantastic.” “This feels like the fastest midsized truck on the market; it’s really, really impressive.” “The powertrain is fantastic.” “If acceleration matters to you [...], this is compelling” “Shockingly quick” Acceleration: 2/10
It has great performance for a truck. The truck feels very fast. Unfortunately, acceleration in the Dougscore is measured globally, so of course a Compact truck can't compete with the Audi RS3, for example.
When you consider a 918 Spyder is a 10, a compact pickup getting a 2 actually is impressive. It's all relative. Anything slower than 4 sec 0-60 gets a 5 or lower from Doug.
Dougscore acceleration scoring is done the right way. It is vehicles vs vehicles. It makes no sense that a car with 8 point acceleration would be slower than a car with 4 point accelereration. 0-60 mph times are only thing that matters in acceleration.

"Small truck?" This thing looks equal in size to full-sized trucks of years ago. Pretty soon the Ranger will be a giant bro-dozer, and the F150 will be a Cat dump truck.
The ass leaves much to be desired.

@@haiderabid1898 Has nothing to do with America, this Ranger is based on the international platform T6, it's this size because that's what the World wanted.
They only sell the Ford Ranger Raptor to areas where the Ford F-150 Raptor isn't available and vice versa. Here in the Philippines, it would take you alot of paper works and government-dealer agreements to have an F-150 Raptor shipped and delivered to you whereas the Ranger Raptor is readily available at any given time
Its crazy Ford didnt think the US was good enough for it all these years, they only did it because of Chevrolet. If you look the ranger up its the same truck from 4 years ago in Europe and South America
kingg one they didn’t want to abuse product mix maybe. Even though the sport pickup segment is so hot right now. Even here in the philippines, the ranger raptor nearly outsells their wildtrak partner.
@@vicjr.1813 you are the guinea pig for the Raptor , they would not just launch this in the us without testing . Or maybe not, some major tabloids love Ford besides their issues .

These are everywhere in Australia, always in the top selling vehicles. The only time you see them though is when they're 2 inches from your rear bumper trying to intimidate you because you're driving too slow at 5 over the speed limit

These are actually the size of what used to be the Ford F100 before Ford discontinued them and increased the size of everything to gigantic proportions. They need to go back to the smaller Ford Ranger. Not everyone needs something big enough to haul an army tank.
We can thank (or not) safety regulations for it's size. The older Ford Rangers fondly adopted the nick name "Danger Ranger" because of their piss poor crash safety ratings. It was a cute little death box. All the same I do still love those old rangers & see a lot of them on the road today. But Ford had to give the ranger more rigidity & ability to absorb more collision inertia in order to meet today's market regulations. Not to mention the door dinger that everyone must love so much because it is standard in every ford since like 2014.
@@SugaryPhoenixxxIf safety has to do with size then how are they able to make and sell small Fords in the USA like the Fiesta, Focus, C-Max and EcoSport?
@Brent Duggins ok and...? How is this useful information when we have millions of people dying everyday because they are drawing the wrong shapes during sea bear attacks which is becoming worse and worse every year?
This size? The truck is almost as big as a full size. People have been wanting a compact truck for years since this was discontinued and the Colorado switched to the global platform. This truck isn't even in the neighborhood of a compact.
Its nuts/funny. Its actually harder for me to enjoy other channels that review cars now because of how detailed in the most entertaining way Doug's reviews are. In other reviews now, I always expect them to show me the funny colors of ambient mood lighting in the infotainment screen, or where the blank switches are.
Agreed. These reviews are much more relatable and realistic for consumers as well. No need to drift every car around some track telling us how great it handles when that will never be how the car is used
Absolutely. For example Shmee makes very long videos but they lack in terms of featuring all these little things. Mostly majestic shots that you can find in company's site.

This is not a Ranger. It's too big to be a Ranger. You can barely reach over the side of the bed, much less reach across the bed to get that thing that slid to the other side. As an American, that likes pickups, What is the deal with American pickups getting larger and larger?! This "ranger" is almost as big as an F150 ten years ago. I'll stick with my 20 year old beater Ranger, at least it is sized appropriately for a *small* truck. (You are not suppose to need a step ladder to get into the bed of a small pickup.)
Us Americans have a size obsession. Food portions, beds, weight lifting. If it isn't big, then it's not American enough apparently. The reason why the general population will will stay unhealthy for years to come . That's also what she said.
Well, I just compared overall lengths between the new and old one: 2011: 203.6" 2019: 210.8" (also applies for the Crewcab) You won't likely notice that difference whenever you go or park your truck.
@@luisinhoens90 Overall length is not a very good indicator for truck size. Perfect example is that my 1997 Ranger has an overall length of 198.2". Much smaller truck right? Well not where it matters. I have a 7' bed, which is not even offered on the new truck. The 2019 tops out at 6'. The max bed size for the crew cab is 5'. So right there mine is more useful as an actual truck.
@@punnequraq the thing I noticed after driving the new one and having driven the old one is the new one feels far taller maybe a foot and a half higher but isn't much wider and probably not much longer either
Fords been doing this for years. Remember that sedan that didnt sell like 10 years ago? Yeah they slapped Taurus on it and it sold. Just another junker that they wont stand by when customers have issues with quality control
pinfarmer I bought a Nissan Frontier. Get the Desert Runner. $24750, 2WD. I love mine. V6, crew cab, off road tires and suspension. Never need 4WD since it’s a weekend warrior truck and daily driver. 46k miles, no issues.
It would never pass emissions regulations. Thats why they had to discontinue the ranger in the first place. Emissions based on vehicle size and weight. The 2011 ranger would have had to get around 30mpg in 2012 to continue production in the US and EU. It got 15.
BASE F150 territory. In my area where these are in limited supply, a Lariat is about the same price as a 300a XLT F150. That's quite a lot of equipment for the price if you don't need a full size truck. The base just isn't really cheap which is a bit surprising.
complain, but why don't you price out other trucks? ranger starts at $24,000, tacoma starts at $25,700 and Colorado starts at 22000.. yet a fully loaded all bells and whistles ranger is $45k, Tacoma loaded... $45k... and colorado loaded is also $45k. So say what you want about price, but you're going to pay the same no matter which one you buy. as for "f150 territory" again, go shopping... fully loaded f150 lariet is going to cost you around $65k and up... if you get just the xlt f150 4x4, you are at 50k... ranger xlt 4x4... 35k... do a little research... thats the msrp pricing... look it up.
@@iPlayDrums4You the difference is, rebates. Huge rebates on the F150 but not the ranger. I bought my 2017 F150 4x4 with the 302a package, nav, and a ton of extras for 34k. MSRP of 49k. You won't find a ranger with 15k off.
@@herefishyfishy6907 because the ranger is new and shiny and selling quicker. The ford lots around here have tons of f150 so it only makes sense that there would be more rebates.
Seriously, I can't believe people actually think about fixing vehicles these days. I've put hundreds of thousands of miles on modern vehicles, and almost never have I needed a repair. The few issues that did pop up were done by trained technicians. It really shouldn't even come to mind anymore.
Ford is not bringing Raptor to the US because they want to keep selling the more expensive version of the F150 and they think that a Ranger Raptor will cut into its sales.
You can get it for 24k buts just a base XL. The electronics suck. They suck in all new vehicles. More stuff to go wrong and possibly kill you or make you to broke
We have had the Ranger here in Australia for ages, so popular here Ford decided to bring it over to the US.. Now what do you think made it popular here?? Probably the 4 or 5 Cylinder Diesel options and the 4x4.. So what do Ford do to market it over in USA.. get rid of the only reasons it actually good.....
Good to know. Bought mine about 2 months and 3k miles ago. I love this little truck. I got the 2021 xlt sport. Didn’t get the 4x4 cuz I don’t need it. Only thing I was worried about was if it would stand the test of time. If I can get 10 years and 200k miles out of it without too many problems I’ll be happy.
@@mattgeiger9988 wow. I drove a 99 Ford escort for 10 years, traded it for a 2012 Ford Focus for 10 years, now just got my 2021 ranger. Kind of a trend to keep my cars 10 years and 200k
@@Xdev1lG00D yeah but Doug (as typical not doing any research) used the reasoning that "Ford doesn't want to develop a raptor for a chassis they're about to update"
Agreed, but bigger doesn't necessarily mean the trucks weigh more than the older ones. That's where the market is going, since people are buying more trucks/suvs than cars for some reason. That high seating position really turns customers on.
An acquaintance of mine who was an engineer at Ford said that Americans have gotten so fat that they have to make vehicles larger to make them comfortable.
It's definitely an arms first, push your body weight up kind of thing. I had a Biology teacher in Middle School that would jump up on desks like Doug did there. But, the teacher was also a track instructor, trying to impress people.
Nah! you need a flat tray top where you hop up and sit on the tray with your legs hanging down and realize your feet are too close to the wheel when it rips your boots off!!
It's a truck. The old Ranger was square, this one is rounded like all the rest save the upcoming Jeep. It's a bit smaller than the Tacoma. Exactly what is your point?
Yeah it’s really lame. Had a 94 ranger before. This thing is a joke. Stupid fat people making everything super sized. Eat less food you fat pieces of shit.
It's not, barely. It's 9in shorter, has a 1 foot shorter wheelbase and is half a foot narroer. But the 1980's F150 has a .75 foot longer bed in the same SuperCab model. Btw, the 80's F150 had a 8 foot bed option, God Damn!
A 15 minute remote start time is nothing in northern Canada, where it's pretty common to need a second 10 minute re-start to get heat moving in the cab. I think calling any of these trucks "compact" is ridiculous. Co-worker's new Colorado is larger in all dimensions than my 98 full size GMC Sierra. It's taller, longer, and if it's not wider, we're talking fractions of an inch different. They're not compact, they're only less "full size" than the behemoths that full size trucks have become. You want to call something a compact truck, bring back the size of the OLD Ranger - or the old S10/S15s. THOSE were compact trucks. The new Ranger/Colorado/Canyon/Tacoma are full size trucks. Not a compact thing about them. (And yes, I realize I'm saying compact instead of "mid-size" but since there is no actual "compact" option in existence, that makes this the de facto compact. "Mid" implies that it's in between two other sizes.)
despite them no longer being in production, those compact trucks still do exist. That being so these are midsize out of trucks, not out of production trucks.
New safety regulations coupled with general consumer's needs/wants means any compacts of any kind are gone. Even something like a Mini, Fiat 500, or MX5 are massive compared to what they used to be
I blame it on the Dodge Dakota!! All the downsized trucks were similar, then came the “”Dakota “”,,,,,,,,,, the first mid size truck! The rest followed suit eliminating the compact truck market for new sales. As such, and I actually own a baby midsize, 2007 Colorado Crew 4x4. They were pretty small for a crew cab then. As such I don’t care about the older trucks, they are the past. I agree midsize, compact, they are so similar it doesn’t matter. You wanna call them compacts?? Go for it!

Wouldn’t your “pen” clip be where to put a tire pressure gauge? I’ve seen other reviews where you talk about pen holders and I always think the same thing. Tire pressure gauge!
Midsize pickups are pointless. The whole point of a Ranger is that it's small and economical to run. When it starts getting big and expensive...whats the fucking point? Buy an F-150.
RealityIsTheNow right? If it’s mid range model starts to creep into the $30,000 price range... just buy a damn F150. The limited model or platinum, whatever it may be, should be no more than $35,000.

You're gonna keep missing them, they don't have the economy of a 6 or 10 speed auto and new truck buyers don't want them.

Bought a Tacoma in Feb 2018 at 0% interest. I love it more and more every day. I knew the Ranger was coming, but after seeing the styling of the Ranger, glad I went with the Tacoma. I'll take reliability and cool styling after turbo and minivan styling of the Ranger.
I agree Tacoma looks better and holds its value. And statistically, it's more reliable, truck for truck. But wow, the Tacomas are EVERYWHERE. And not that one needs to worry about trendsetting or individuality with a mass-produced vehicle, but yeah, the Tacomas are everywhere. And you can't order one. I mean, you can, but it's a crapshoot if you get it because Toyota doesn't exactly build to order like Ford does. So you're probably stuck with the gray, black, white colors in the same basic trim levels that are out there everywhere or you're driving all over Hell's creation looking for that unique build combination and color that you not only like, but gives YOUR Tacoma a somewhat unique look. Ford? You can build it. You can get the long bed, short cab, bright color, tow package, omit the stupid sunroof or other frills the dealers add, and have the vehicle fit like a glove. But yeah, the Tacoma is a better finanical decision.

I'm guessing that blind spot monitor is printed on the tail lights so you don't cover it with a brush guard.
That and so you know where it is if you ever have to replace it, as it's probably built into the taillight and the parts bloke at the Ford dealer will certainly ask whether or not it's equipped with one.
The sensor/module is right where the print is. I would also guess the print is to explain why there is no "light" in that area of the lens. Same with the F150's, it is dark where the sensor is.
Also so people don't smoke the tail lights

I made the mistake of saying that one time.

As I recollect he was right, and no, I don't talk to this guy anymore unless I absolutely have to.
It’s because trucks aren’t actually about utility anymore. The majority of them are used as luxury vehicles, not as a work vehicles. A lot of the people I know who work in traditionally “truck friendly” jobs like handymen or construction workers use old Japanese trucks or compact SUVs. New American trucks are gigantic and usually saddled with BS luxury features, making them too expensive for the demographic that actually uses trucks for their intended purposes.

“Performance is excellent.”
“Performance is fantastic.”
“This feels like the fastest midsized truck on the market; it’s really, really impressive.”
“The powertrain is fantastic.”
“If acceleration matters to you [...], this is compelling”
“Shockingly quick”
Acceleration: 2/10
It has great performance for a truck.
The truck feels very fast.
Unfortunately, acceleration in the Dougscore is measured globally, so of course a Compact truck can't compete with the Audi RS3, for example.
When you consider a 918 Spyder is a 10, a compact pickup getting a 2 actually is impressive. It's all relative. Anything slower than 4 sec 0-60 gets a 5 or lower from Doug.
That's why some of his reviews are BS. Makes no sense at all.
Exactly, the Doug Score with acceleration is useless. You have to score based on competitors, not against a $2MM Bugatti.
Dougscore acceleration scoring is done the right way. It is vehicles vs vehicles. It makes no sense that a car with 8 point acceleration would be slower than a car with 4 point accelereration. 0-60 mph times are only thing that matters in acceleration.

Right?I fell in love with the old ranger because of its size. A humble Ford, man. We need more of those.
These are actually the size of what used to be the Ford F100 before Ford discontinued them and increased the size of everything to gigantic proportions. They need to go back to the smaller Ford Ranger. Not everyone needs something big enough to haul an army tank.
It's so big compared to the previous generations...
We can thank (or not) safety regulations for it's size. The older Ford Rangers fondly adopted the nick name "Danger Ranger" because of their piss poor crash safety ratings. It was a cute little death box. All the same I do still love those old rangers & see a lot of them on the road today. But Ford had to give the ranger more rigidity & ability to absorb more collision inertia in order to meet today's market regulations. Not to mention the door dinger that everyone must love so much because it is standard in every ford since like 2014.

It would never pass emissions regulations. Thats why they had to discontinue the ranger in the first place. Emissions based on vehicle size and weight. The 2011 ranger would have had to get around 30mpg in 2012 to continue production in the US and EU. It got 15.
THE #1 PROBLEM with this truck is the price. It starts too high and after just going to XLT and 4x4, you're already in F150 territory.
BASE F150 territory. In my area where these are in limited supply, a Lariat is about the same price as a 300a XLT F150. That's quite a lot of equipment for the price if you don't need a full size truck. The base just isn't really cheap which is a bit surprising.
complain, but why don't you price out other trucks? ranger starts at $24,000, tacoma starts at $25,700 and Colorado starts at 22000.. yet a fully loaded all bells and whistles ranger is $45k, Tacoma loaded... $45k... and colorado loaded is also $45k. So say what you want about price, but you're going to pay the same no matter which one you buy. as for "f150 territory" again, go shopping... fully loaded f150 lariet is going to cost you around $65k and up... if you get just the xlt f150 4x4, you are at 50k... ranger xlt 4x4... 35k... do a little research... thats the msrp pricing... look it up.
@@iPlayDrums4You the difference is, rebates. Huge rebates on the F150 but not the ranger. I bought my 2017 F150 4x4 with the 302a package, nav, and a ton of extras for 34k. MSRP of 49k. You won't find a ranger with 15k off.
@@herefishyfishy6907 because the ranger is new and shiny and selling quicker. The ford lots around here have tons of f150 so it only makes sense that there would be more rebates.
That's not really what I think of when I think small truck.
I know that "ranger" is bigger than my 1500 Silverado full size
Because, it's not. It's midsize. most of us cannot afford it.
Come on it's a great truck. Stop trying to shit on Ford.
@@Galactis1 it starts at 24,000 msrp, that's not even bad.
It's worse than you think. Remember Doug is like 8 feet tall.
We wanted a small, cheap, easy to fix truck
NOT a redesigned F-150
LOL, easy to fix. No modern car is easy to fix and all these small turbo engines have crappy reliability.
Protector of the Republic
Exactly
Seriously, I can't believe people actually think about fixing vehicles these days. I've put hundreds of thousands of miles on modern vehicles, and almost never have I needed a repair. The few issues that did pop up were done by trained technicians. It really shouldn't even come to mind anymore.
You do realize that this model of the Ford Ranger has been being sold in Ireland for years?
Not sure you can get one in USA but in México you can get a nissan np300
there is a raptor version overseas
The Ranger Raptor is in Australia.
Ford is not bringing Raptor to the US because they want to keep selling the more expensive version of the F150 and they think that a Ranger Raptor will cut into its sales.
Plus the Ranger Raptor's engine was a 2.0 biturbo diesel with only 210 horsepower.
Maybe it should say turn signal. People might use it.
Micheal Henderson more for the old farts that forget they need to turn it off after
Is it just me or do Ford truck drivers tend to have broken turn signals? I mean, I am sure they are using them right?
*Buh dum tiss*
@@GangStarr4life96 so true my van driver for school he never turns it off
Here in Oklahoma, people either never use their turn signals or they leave them on for MIIILLEESSS!!
Over priced with a bunch of electronic crap no one needs cannot believe anyone would pay 35 grand for a two wheel drive 4 cylinder
You can get it for 24k buts just a base XL. The electronics suck. They suck in all new vehicles. More stuff to go wrong and possibly kill you or make you to broke
Sounds alot like a supra
@@CaptainFALKEN They're making the Supra with a inline 6 twin turbo option. I get what you're saying tho. The base Supra is 35k with a 4 banger.
We have had the Ranger here in Australia for ages, so popular here Ford decided to bring it over to the US..
Now what do you think made it popular here??
Probably the 4 or 5 Cylinder Diesel options and the 4x4..
So what do Ford do to market it over in USA.. get rid of the only reasons it actually good.....
Wonder why the 2.3 Ecoboost only has 270 HP in this rig...it gets 310 HP in the Mustang!
After 2 year of ownership and 84k in miles, its been a good truck. I've replaced tires and thats it, I'm glad bc i drive alot!
Good to know. Bought mine about 2 months and 3k miles ago. I love this little truck. I got the 2021 xlt sport. Didn’t get the 4x4 cuz I don’t need it. Only thing I was worried about was if it would stand the test of time. If I can get 10 years and 200k miles out of it without too many problems I’ll be happy.
@@lesterparker1594 i doubt I will get 10 years but I will get 200k easily. Unfortunately I kill vehicles quickly
@@mattgeiger9988 wow. I drove a 99 Ford escort for 10 years, traded it for a 2012 Ford Focus for 10 years, now just got my 2021 ranger. Kind of a trend to keep my cars 10 years and 200k
There's already a current Ranger Raptor, we have tones of them in Australia.
MrRandomnoodle he’s talking about in the US
@@Xdev1lG00D yeah but Doug (as typical not doing any research) used the reasoning that "Ford doesn't want to develop a raptor for a chassis they're about to update"
@@Xdev1lG00D I realise that, but Doug sounds like he is unaware that's it's available in other regions, so I felt it was worth mentioning.
@@Xdev1lG00D www.caranddriver.com/news/a16740549/2019-ford-ranger-raptor-officially-unveiled-news/
Fernando Salazar old article and it’s not even confirmed
It blows my mind that they’re trying to to make these trucks more and more fuel efficient but they’re getting bigger and bigger
Agreed, but bigger doesn't necessarily mean the trucks weigh more than the older ones. That's where the market is going, since people are buying more trucks/suvs than cars for some reason. That high seating position really turns customers on.
An acquaintance of mine who was an engineer at Ford said that Americans have gotten so fat that they have to make vehicles larger to make them comfortable.
@@georgeklimes7604 I'm sure they are getting larger vehicles to compensate for other shortcomings that they have.
Bigger trucks with better mpgs sounds awesome to me!
George Klimes that very well could be the motivation.
So many fat asses in America now-
The original Ranger just wont cut it.
My fat self couldn’t fit in the back seat unless I use butter or crisco... 😢
In Australia, the dual cab versions are cheaper than extended cabs anyway.
So just get in the trunk bed you whale
Lose weight then
I think it the butter was meant as bait. Throw a stick back there and he'll find a way in. @@_baller
It's a cab extention not a fu-ton!
Anyone else catch the classic Ranger at 19:33? Lol
I did and I was scrolling through the comments trying to see if anyone else noticed lol. "LOOK AT ME I'M STILL RELEVANT TOO RIGHT??? RIGHT?!?!"
Matthew Foster no, because that’s not a ranger. It’s a Mazda truck.
Something Hank Hill would drive. I tell you what.
Maybe if his current truck had something happen to it. Like get hit by a train or something.
😂
hwhat?
I tElL u HuWat
But he got a f250 after his ranger got destroyed lol
Doug the type of guy to not know how to get in the back of a pickup
It's definitely an arms first, push your body weight up kind of thing. I had a Biology teacher in Middle School that would jump up on desks like Doug did there. But, the teacher was also a track instructor, trying to impress people.
You have to be "country" to do it correctly. Js
Nah! you need a flat tray top where you hop up and sit on the tray with your legs hanging down and realize your feet are too close to the wheel when it rips your boots off!!
The Ranger looks bloated for a "small truck". Acres of sheet metal, shaped like a barn, chock full of expensive gewgaws.
It's a truck. The old Ranger was square, this one is rounded like all the rest save the upcoming Jeep. It's a bit smaller than the Tacoma. Exactly what is your point?
NotaBRZ NotaMiata his point is that ford completely missed the market they were aiming for by choosing a poor design for the truck
It's too damned big. Let's go back to the 90s. (Not sarcasm.)
Yeah it’s really lame. Had a 94 ranger before. This thing is a joke. Stupid fat people making everything super sized. Eat less food you fat pieces of shit.
This is very close to the Tacoma. It looks exactly same
I swear this Ranger is bigger than an F-150 from the 80s.
Nah man. Drive an 03 f150 and this thing is much smaller. Been split between a Ranger and an F150 for awhile.
It's not, barely. It's 9in shorter, has a 1 foot shorter wheelbase and is half a foot narroer. But the 1980's F150 has a .75 foot longer bed in the same SuperCab model. Btw, the 80's F150 had a 8 foot bed option, God Damn!
Fry, Phillip J modern f150s have an 8foot bed option too
A 15 minute remote start time is nothing in northern Canada, where it's pretty common to need a second 10 minute re-start to get heat moving in the cab.
I think calling any of these trucks "compact" is ridiculous. Co-worker's new Colorado is larger in all dimensions than my 98 full size GMC Sierra. It's taller, longer, and if it's not wider, we're talking fractions of an inch different. They're not compact, they're only less "full size" than the behemoths that full size trucks have become. You want to call something a compact truck, bring back the size of the OLD Ranger - or the old S10/S15s. THOSE were compact trucks. The new Ranger/Colorado/Canyon/Tacoma are full size trucks. Not a compact thing about them.
(And yes, I realize I'm saying compact instead of "mid-size" but since there is no actual "compact" option in existence, that makes this the de facto compact. "Mid" implies that it's in between two other sizes.)
despite them no longer being in production, those compact trucks still do exist. That being so these are midsize out of trucks, not out of production trucks.
New safety regulations coupled with general consumer's needs/wants means any compacts of any kind are gone.
Even something like a Mini, Fiat 500, or MX5 are massive compared to what they used to be
Get a single cab 1500 then. Pretty small, easy to work on
thank you sir
I blame it on the Dodge Dakota!! All the downsized trucks were similar, then came the “”Dakota “”,,,,,,,,,, the first mid size truck! The rest followed suit eliminating the compact truck market for new sales. As such, and I actually own a baby midsize, 2007 Colorado Crew 4x4. They were pretty small for a crew cab then.
As such I don’t care about the older trucks, they are the past. I agree midsize, compact, they are so similar it doesn’t matter. You wanna call them compacts?? Go for it!
You should totally review a 1998 Ford Ranger
Regular Car Reviews did
@@marklion315 back when Regular Car Reviews was good. It bums me out because I've really loved the channel since the early days, but I feel like the quality has gone super downhill after the New Zealand trip. It's all lowest common dominator weirdness for the sake of weird and it doesn't do anything for me. In the Supra video released on Christmas, a video that's 12 minutes and change.... A full 45 seconds is literally completely devoted to saying 'hot dicks' followed by a good thirty seconds of giggling about it....I get that the joke is that it goes on but it's just awful for me. This got longer than expected. Like hot dicks.
My dad had the 98 ranger with the 4.0l v6. That thing rode for over 600k before he finally got rid of it. Even than it still ran..
@@freightking2670 those were tanks, for sure. The 4.0 especially with the manual. Up north here they're really susceptible to rust along the wheel wells and rocker panels and tailgate and.... Well... Everything really, lol, but other than that they really did run forever. We had a couple over the years, great little truck.

Theres already a Ford Ranger Raptor Doug but its not for the US spec model its for the Asian spec search it in google.
I swear they kibashed the ranger raptor in the US as to not mess with the f150 raptor sales... Who knows. The ranger raptor in Australia is a joke. 2l diesel which is slower then Geo metro. GG.
Here at Philippines there is already a Ranger Raptor.
(REAL!!)
The article he shows at 6:42 clearly says "Ranger Raptor won't be sold in US", not "Ranger Raptor won't be built", along with a massive picture of it. I refuse to believe he doesn't know about it, but why would he pretend he doesn't know it exists? Why couldn't he just say "They'd be stupid to not bring it over" instead of "They'd be stupid not to build one".
@Capsyzable It's a retarded thing,2.0 Diesel engine? They put Raptor name only to sell it.Funny thing is that the Ranger in this video (2.3 ecoboost) is faster than the "Raptor"
Here in Australia we get the ranger raptor too, however i dont know how well its selling though
Doug, if you're surprised about leaving the truck running for 15 minutes with the remote starter, you've obviously never lived somewhere cold.
Do you remember when Doug lived in Pennsylvania? Pepperidge Farm remembers
@@nickdohle Pennsylvania doesn't get that cold. Never below 0F unless in the mountains. It doesn't really go below 20. I live in Maryland so I get pretty much the same weather.
NatoriousGamePlay even ct gets to the single digits
Yah when it get to literally -30F in the Canadian Prairies, leaving a vehicle running for 15, even 20 mins, is actually very normal. Only people who have lived in a cold climate would know.
It gets below 45° & I start my car 15 minutes in advance.
Why can't they make small pickups like the 2011 Ranger or S10 or Dakota. These are the size of full size trucks 10 years ago. Not everyone can afford 30,000 for a new pickup.
Haha yea cause your Poor and stingy and i know this account is a spam cause i see random comments by this account everywhere
With ya buddy. I want a new no bells and whistles small truck
I have both an older Ford Ranger and a newer Chevy 2500HD diesel. Guess which one gets drove the most? That's right! My old Ranger. I am 100% with you. This new Ranger is completely un-feasible for a LOT of people. I would love to have a new, small, no frills truck. They are so damn expensive anymore. The old school Ranger I have is easy to fix. Parts are cheap. It's much cheaper to run and maintain overall. Not to mention it's much easier to park too!
@@ppipowerclass My Brother had a 4cyl 98 Ranger that he bought new and put about 350k miles on, we called it the zombie truck because it just wouldn't die.

FINALLY! Someone tells right away that this isn't a "new" truck
That's not a small truck....
For outside of North America, yes that truck is fall in to mid size truck
The Ranger is pretty big for us in the Philippines.
Midsize pickups are pointless. The whole point of a Ranger is that it's small and economical to run. When it starts getting big and expensive...whats the fucking point? Buy an F-150.
RealityIsTheNow right? If it’s mid range model starts to creep into the $30,000 price range... just buy a damn F150. The limited model or platinum, whatever it may be, should be no more than $35,000.
Thank god full size trucks aren't a thing in europe and asia
