@@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.
“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.
I made the mistake of saying that one time. I personally think this statement is true, the douchebag I told it to though had to bitterly argue with me for two days like I had insulted his mother's honor and actually went and compared wheelbase sizes. 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.
@@iwillbuycocainefromyou ....the type of guy to call out people with unoriginal Doug jokes... And doesn't have an original joke of his on to back his ridiculous comment

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!!
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?
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.
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
@Rick C It's a ute. Truck starts at tow truck or box truck and goes all the way up to B-Doubles. After that it's a road train. That's my understanding of larger vehicles but if someone knows better then feel free to correct me.
"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.
Why can't they make small affordable trucks like they did back then? My 94 Ford ranger splash is still kicking and is all I need. Tired of the massive trucks that cost $50k.
Trucks costing $50k? Well, get ready for year of our Corporation. Cause trucks are going to hit the $75k+ or more price margins. Btw, in this same year...Ford is coming out with an all new Ford Courier that will be a small compact unibody truck.

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.

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.

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?
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.

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

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
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.
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.
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.
@@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"
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.
15 minute auto start is perfect! I live in northern Canada and we frequently get -40 to -50 weather in the winters, it honestly can take up to 10-15 minutes for the cab to get nice and toasty
He is in San Diego and you can see, from how incredulous he was and how he laughed about it, he doesn't "get it." It doesn't occur to him half the country is freezing to death in winter and needs to dethaw the truck in blizzards and freezing rain.
Jesus that's huge. Isn't Doug like 6'4" or something? This looks like it's going to compete directly with the F-150. Bring back the small Ranger, Ford.
This Ranger originally was designed in Australia, The NA varient isn't changing much. just the underpinninings and a facelift. Also youse don't have the understressed 3.2 Litre I5 diesel.
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!
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!
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
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.
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.
Try that with muddy feet Doug and dirty, muddy, wet bed floor. Most people who use their truck for actual work are going to step in from the side. One foot on bumper then step up in using the bed corner for stability.
The same goes for Cleveland and the other Great Lakes cities. I wouldn't expect him to know anything about winter in the U.S. or Canada being from the Peoples Democratic Republic of Californication. If it snowed in California, thousands would die from snorting up their driveways.

Base price for the new Ranger starts as low as $24,300. It is available in 4-wheel drive. The Ranger may have been a compact when it left us, but has come back as a midsize... and a midsize with best-in-class (gas) towing and payload at that. The price is not outrageous for what you get. Literally every other currently available midsize pickup can also have an msrp over $40,000 depending on trim and options and the Ranger and Nissan Frontier are the only midsize trucks that cant get over $50,000 msrp. Not bad for a truck that boasts best-in-class performance all the way down on the base trim.

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.

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?
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
its nice to know where it is when there is ice and snow on your vehicle. it bitches a lot at you about not working when its covered up on Toyotas
It’s the blind spot monitoring for the trailer
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
Do they call them trucks or utes, though?
@Rick C It's a ute. Truck starts at tow truck or box truck and goes all the way up to B-Doubles. After that it's a road train. That's my understanding of larger vehicles but if someone knows better then feel free to correct me.
And ours dont have that weird front bumper and the visible exhaust
Rick C uterus.
Do you need a truck license? Do you sit over the engine? If neither it's not a truck.
"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.

Why can't they make small affordable trucks like they did back then? My 94 Ford ranger splash is still kicking and is all I need. Tired of the massive trucks that cost $50k.
Trucks costing $50k? Well, get ready for year of our Corporation. Cause trucks are going to hit the $75k+ or more price margins. Btw, in this same year...Ford is coming out with an all new Ford Courier that will be a small compact unibody truck.
Because inflation. Also technology. 94 cost plus inflation and quality. $100 in 1994 is equivalent to $170 today.
My 17 Colorado has none of the technology of most new vehicles and it was nearly 40 grand.... so I'm not buying all the tech mumbo jumbo price increases.

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.

Joseph Brogna why don’t foreign markets have full size pickups
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.

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.

Fernando Salazar old article and it’s not even confirmed
I bought a 2020 XLT. It is an excellent mid sized truck. I'm impressed with it.
FINALLY! Someone tells right away that this isn't a "new" truck
God I hate that you cannot buy a new mini truck. They are all oversized and over priced now...
There's rumors and spy shots of Ford coming out with a mini truck based on the Focus chassis.
Nissan frontiers arent too big
Check out the fiat toro we have in latin america, that's a proper small truck!
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.
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!!
15 minute auto start is perfect! I live in northern Canada and we frequently get -40 to -50 weather in the winters, it honestly can take up to 10-15 minutes for the cab to get nice and toasty
He is in San Diego and you can see, from how incredulous he was and how he laughed about it, he doesn't "get it." It doesn't occur to him half the country is freezing to death in winter and needs to dethaw the truck in blizzards and freezing rain.
Jesus that's huge. Isn't Doug like 6'4" or something? This looks like it's going to compete directly with the F-150. Bring back the small Ranger, Ford.
someone watched the dialbo review video .
Have you seen how big the new f150s are? The rangers a good amount smaller, pretty much identical to the tacoma.
Have you seen a new F150? This is a Colorado/Tacoma competitor, not Silverado/Tundra
My 18 f150 is waaay bigger than my 02 chevy 1500 I had back in highschool.
This Ranger originally was designed in Australia, The NA varient isn't changing much. just the underpinninings and a facelift.
Also youse don't have the understressed 3.2 Litre I5 diesel.
*DOUG IS A TYPE OF GUY TO GET A SPEEDING TICKET ON A RACETRACK*
**Gets pulled over**

*OH OK*
Dougs the type of guy to use the trunk lid release button from inside the trunk on a daily basis!
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!
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
Wow thats terrible. Should have just called it an F-140
Nah. *The new F-100.*
No f1Useless
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
F-100 would be more appropriate.

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.
Ford coming out with a smaller truck than ranger, it’s focus based

Saddest part is hes taller than the damn truck lmfaooo
Try that with muddy feet Doug and dirty, muddy, wet bed floor. Most people who use their truck for actual work are going to step in from the side. One foot on bumper then step up in using the bed corner for stability.
lol , you haven't seen me, carry a small step ladder
@@tenhundredkills Those with big Trucks are just compensating for something.
Doug, if you lived in Calgary or Edmonton during the winter, you'll understand why a 15 minute idle time after remote start-up would be so desired.
Yeah agreed. I love in B.C. its bloody cold
The same goes for Cleveland and the other Great Lakes cities. I wouldn't expect him to know anything about winter in the U.S. or Canada being from the Peoples Democratic Republic of Californication. If it snowed in California, thousands would die from snorting up their driveways.
Pulsatyr it does snow. Smh. Northern California. But I would except you to know that.
Why not remote start and it can run all day? Count on the auto industry to micro manage your vehicle usage.
@@Pulsatyr, U nailed it, for the coastal counties. However, in the Sierras and far north, it snows, big time---where the patriots still rule the streets (the Trump counties).
Ranger? More like F-150 early 2000s edition.
That's a serious insult
Nooooo
Naw it doesn't look like a 2000s f150 dawg
Its really not that big, Doug just makes every car look bigger than they really are 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

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.

I like how he makes it seem like remote starting your truck for 15 minutes is a big deal. Try warming up your truck for 5 mins in -40 weather lol

Unbelievable $35000 for a compact 4-cylinder pickup with only 2-wheel drive.
Dan Carlton Yeah. I paid less than a grand for my 2000 Ranger. Granted, it has 286,670ish miles. But it still runs and goes into each gear ok. Mine’s a 2WD V6, but I still wouldn’t pay that much for a pickup that butchered what the Ranger is about.
Base price for the new Ranger starts as low as $24,300. It is available in 4-wheel drive. The Ranger may have been a compact when it left us, but has come back as a midsize... and a midsize with best-in-class (gas) towing and payload at that. The price is not outrageous for what you get. Literally every other currently available midsize pickup can also have an msrp over $40,000 depending on trim and options and the Ranger and Nissan Frontier are the only midsize trucks that cant get over $50,000 msrp. Not bad for a truck that boasts best-in-class performance all the way down on the base trim.
These are the days!
Considering what other similar trucks are priced, $35K is a very good price. A similar Chevrolet Colorado would be over $50K.
Gonna cry or
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.

I had a 2003 Mazda B2300, which for all practical purposes was a Ford Ranger. One of the best vehicles I have ever owned, easy to work on, reliable, very basic truck. Very glad Ford brought this one back to the US market.

In Australia, the dual cab versions are cheaper than extended cabs anyway.

@@gyneve The whole entire point of this truck existing was for it to be smaller than the f150, and it appears to be a lot larger than the old rangers
@@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.
gyneve - The ranger has always had some competition. S10, Frontier, Tacoma not sure if the Mazda B 2000 would have counted.
If its NOT an Electric Pickup truck , then its Garbage.
That's not really what I think of when I think small truck.

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.
I just bought a 2020 Ford Ranger XL as a replacement for my 2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and it’s very good as a small truck. It gets better gas mileage than my FeST and feels pretty good too. I do like the 15 minute auto-start feature as well.

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.
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
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
