Excellent review, Steve. I like the fact that you chose to review the base model. Other reviewers like to review the high end models which could cost near $50,000 bucks! I bought a XL with the backseat deleted and am loving it.
Thanks for the feedback Gary! I'm getting ready to put together a video on the next model up (the XLT). Good to hear you're loving your XL right now! Are you a first time Ranger owner or have you owned a previous generation model?
@@CarsWithSteve I am a first time truck owner.
@@snoopyGQ This is a great entry level truck! I'm sure you'll end up loving it long term
@@snoopyGQ was it under 25,000 with the seat deleted
Your reviews really sealed the deal in me purchasing an XL trim+fx4. Thanky our Steve!!! :)
-Mikey from BC
Thanks Mikey, glad the video helped! Hope you enjoy the new ride
Great review👍
Finally someone showing what it is like sitting in the back of the SuperCab.
Cheers
Thanks Patrick, appreciate that!
I just purchased a 2020 Ford Ranger XL STX FX2 with less than 10000 miles on it and the first thing i did was watch your video. You could not have done a better job. Im still learning all the bells and whistles my new truck can do but your review has made it a lot easier to learn about this thing. Another thing you mentioned is a 2008 Ranger. I bought one of those in 2014 and traded it in for the new one after 8 years of no problem driving.
That's great! Glad the video was able to help you learn some things about the new ride. Those old school Rangers were great, hopefully this one treats you well too!
I am picking up a 2020 Supercab XLT in two days. Took it for a short test drive yesterday and was impressed by the response, handling and power. Have previously owned several trucks, many makes/models, from 1/2 ton through to an F-250 depending on my need at the time. Future needs are for a daily driver living in a rural area with very occasional towing, usually
That's great Lorriana! It really is a solid truck. Different than the previous generation but still a good ride. This thing can tow up to 7,500lbs so you're ok there! Glad you were able to learn a thing or two from the video.
It was all improved as I went from feature to feature! Appreciate the feedback
Great review Steve!
Thanks Fernando, appreciate that!
Good video Steve. I have a STX on order, and the explanations certainly helped. On, and BTW, the noise when you first start that little 2.3L is the radiator fan. It's clutched, and when it catches up with the rpms of the engine it quiets down.
Thanks for the feedback Jim! And great point on the starting noise. I've had a few people mention that to me when test driving but you're right.. it does take a bit to catch up and drives really quietly after it does
Awesome video!
Thanks! Appreciate the feedback
A well done review!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it
Great review
Thanks Southie! Appreciate the feedback
Thanks for the awesome review, being Canadian also it's great to have a Canadian view, on a Canadian specked Ranger (only 4x4 in our country). This XL close to what I am seeking, even less options for my tastes, I live in northeastern Ontario where the streets are rough, with mediocre snow removal, but hundred and hundreds of miles of bush roads and this truck fits this forever Ford fan who has owned six Ford 4x4s but no Ranger.
Glad you like the video Frederick! The new Ranger is definitely a change for the old 3rd gen (3rd and 4th facelift) but it's been a popular truck for folks who don't want a full size! Would this be your first Ranger or have you owned a previous gen one as well?
I'm in Southern Ontario .. wish I was in northern these days.. just bought the STX dealership by me was selling these like hotcakes.. I love mine after owning a 2008 Ranger I long await its return and believe me it doesn't disappoint.. fast truck smooth ride you won't regret it
A good look at the new Ranger, thanks for uploading. I liked how you explained the screens and the controls for them. I also appreciated your honesty when it comes to the rear seat in the Supercabs. I don't think you mentioned it, but there is a rear seat delete option for the Supercab. I'm about to order one and rear seat delete will be one of my several touches added to the truck. I used to have an '86 Ranger a long time ago and I gotta say Ford did a good job with the new version. Not too big, not too small. A lot of good features and a nice Ecoboost engine with more than enough power.
Thanks for the feedback! There were a few things I realized I missed after shooting so I’ll have to do a follow up video.
The rear seat delete is an interesting choice! What made you want to do that? I agree on the size of the new ones.. they’re bigger but it’s not full size like the F150
@@CarsWithSteve We're empty nesters. My stepson is 21 now, in the USAF and has grown way too big to fit in the back of a XL Supercab when he comes to visit. :) The lovely wife has a 2017 Escape and it has 4 doors, so we have the extra space in her vehicle when needed. My current vehicle is a 2001 Bullitt GT and the rear seats are not practical, just like the Ranger XL. I'm ordering mine next week. It'll be a two month wait at the least to get it.
@@Bullitt3401 Sounds like you're a Ford guy through and through! That's great! Make sure to let your selling dealer know about your son being in the USAF, they may be able to offer some added discounts for his service! Would love to see a pic of that Bullitt GT! Feel free to reach out to me on Instagram @RealSteveGrey
Cars with Steve I didn't even think about a chance of a military discount. I will make a note of it. I noticed your dealership is in Canada. I went through that stretch of Canada between Michigan and Upstate NY in the early 1980's and I remember how clean it was. No trash on the side of the road, stuff like that. Judging from your driving footage, Canada still looks great.
@@Bullitt3401 If I was down your way I'd help ya out. When you're ready to go to the dealership, bring up any association that you, a spouse or child are a part of. Your employer may also have discounts available!
Plus there's about $1,200 (depending on the trim of the Ranger) in wiggle room a dealer could take off the MSRP if you're buying from the lot or as a factory order! I'm in more of a suburban area, but like most places we do have cities that aren't the greatest. It's been a few years since I've been down that way but there are some great stretches on both sides of the border
Good video as I'm looking for an XL now.. My only beef is that you should have used an actual base XL model and not the top of the line FX4 model as they are very different in ride and price point.. You showed features the FX4 has that the XL does not which is misleading and as a salesman you should know that..Tires are an upgrade, but are not the main difference by any means.. The upgraded off road suspension and locking diff are the difference and 4 low is not primarily for boats especially with the FX4 package...4 low is an amazing off road gear range for off road use.. Would have been better to title it FX4 review.
The sales person I spoke to didn't know the difference either, but was very quick to try to upsell....
Hey Steve, I'm very familiar with the differences in options for the vehicle. The FX4 is an add on package, not a trim level, that is available in the XL, XLT and Lariat trims of the Ranger. The point of the video isn't to upsell people uncessarily as the FX4 package is one I wouldn't recommend if it's only used as a daily driver.
There are a ton of things to cover on any vehicle, so thanks for also pointing out that 4 low is great for folks who off road in this thing! When there's an XL without the $1,400 (CDN) FX4 add on package on the lot I'll make sure to shoot a video on it so people can see the difference!
one more question would you know what the Diagonal dementions of the 6 foot bed of the ranger is? need to know if my rc airplane will fit in the bed? thx
Hey! Just saw this comment, it's 90" max workable room in the back of the SuperCab Ranger
I have a 2019 ranger. When I stop the tach freezes and the screen says it’s in charging mode. The tach doesn’t go to zero like in the video
Hmm that's a weird message you're getting. Usually when you see a charging message there could be something up with the alternator or battery. I'd have your local dealer take a look when you bring it in for service next
well i bought one but not the xl but the xlt... i alos learned from a friend that instead of buying the harness for 90 bucks that disables the auto stop start, you can get a fuse(6-bucks) and when you plug it in it tricks the truck in thinking you have the tow package on.. when mine comes in i will try it out and see if he is right? if its right 6 bucks is alot better than 90.
Let me know if that fuse trick works instead. Have a few other people who have messaged asking about how they can disable to auto start/stop feature
@@CarsWithSteve fuse things works but will void the warranty, atleast that what my dealer told me... im still waiting on an answer about the auto stop eliminator if that will void my warranty or not... i have had my truck for 3 days and i love it.. ppl complain about the smallest little things on this ranger xd lol. the heated seats work tooo damm good even on the lowest setting.
@@1976axerhand Kinda figured that a "fix" for the Start/Stop would void the warranty. I watched a video a few months back of a guy in an F150 installing a switch to kill the feature.
Hah people will find a way to complain about just about anything
@@CarsWithSteve im getting used to just pushing the button to turn it off. lol if i forgot the 1st stop will remind me of it xd. i do know one thing the stero in it is very nice, its not the high end one but wow. makes my stero in my old 2016 escape sound like it came from walmart!
@@1976axerhand It really isn't too bad to have to manually turn it off, just a bit of a pain that it doesn't have a factory option to do it. Hah that's such a good comparison for the speaker system!
I love the color of that truck. You're a nervous wreck when driving like me 😂
Is 4 WD standard on the Ranger? How about auto shut off?
The bright colors draw me in as well haha! 4x4 is standard on the Ranger in Canada but you can go 4x2 or 4x4 in the US. Auto shutoff is standard in Canada and the USA
@@CarsWithSteve , I just sold my 97 XLT (it had nothing but the alloy wheels 😂) I miss it ☹️
Maybe I can get a new one next year if I get my credit cards paid off 😳
@@classic287 Wow a 97 XLT that's wild! Keep your eyes out on the Ford Maverick over the next few months. More in line with the size of the older Rangers and has a better price point than the Ranger!
@@CarsWithSteve, Really? I didn't know the Maverick was smaller. Maybe it's just what I need. 😊
@@classic287 Few inches shorter height wise and almost a foot shorter looking at length! Keep your eyes open for them, should start hitting dealer lots in the next few months
What is the payload capacity for this model ?
Didn't take a pic of the door sticker but I think it was around 1,600 lbs based on the configuration
Hold off if you can folks. This truck is really a 10 year design just brought to North America a few years ago. An all new from the ground up design will be out later this year. This is an old truck design.
For a second there I thought you meant the 2021 was getting a redesign! It does look like the 2022 model will be in a redesign year so it's exciting to see what concepts will be released over the next few months.
Thanks for sharing this!
That’s ok I still like my Xlt super cab ranger so they can redesign it all they want.
hi, does this trucks come with manual transmission??
Hey Lazaro! In North America the 2020 Ranger only has an automatic transmission. It doesn't look like Ford has any intention of changing that for the 2021 model but if there's enough demand you never know what could happen. If it's something you really want to see I'd recommend reaching out to Ford Canada/USA and let them know!
@@CarsWithSteve do i have to write to ford or how can i do it? thanks
@@lkkjkl5566 Reach out to Ford and let them know your preference! Like any company, if they don't have feedback from customers they'll have no idea whether a feature is wanted.

That dude just staring at you was really weird.
Haha you have no idea how many times I run into that when shooting videos
You can't change the voice to a male voice? Deal breaker. That would be too annoying to me.
Interesting feedback. Do you know if there are any car makers that offer different voice options?
auto lights what a joke... i cant count how many new cars/trucks have burnt out headlights !! if you need headlights during the day to drive if should not be driving..
I don't think the auto lights are a feature. Is it hard to turn lights on and off every time? Not at all... but it's a convenience feature.
I'm curious about the headlight burnout you're talking about though. Can you point me to an article or study showing that auto lamps can cause early burnout? Would be great to do a video talking about that if it's the case
@@CarsWithSteve i dont need a news story, i see it every day.... cars less than 1 yr old with one of the headlights already burned out. i ask alot of people when i see the headlights burnt out how old is there car and 90% of them tell me less that a year old. what do you think would happen when you leave the lights on all the time??? im sry but if turning the lights on and off is to hard maybe people should not be driving in the 1st place. and all this safety crap on the cars is rubbish, i think it makes people drive worse. its called pay attention dont tail gate , if i get one i will turn off all that stuff off. i have been driving for 25 yrs not one accident.. also the saying headlights on for safety? who came up with that bullschit.. just my 2 cents.
@@1976axerhand A burnt out bulb could be tied to so many things though. Is it a manufacturing defect with the bulb? Has the person kept their night lamps running non stop?
Agree that we rely on technology like crazy now with cars.. park assist, lane keeping and now self driving. It's the way tech is going but there will always be enthusiasts for classic cars!
@@CarsWithSteve yes the people did say they had the lights on all the time. I thing with all the safety things ppl will get to used to them and when they don't work that is when accident s happen
@@1976axerhand 100% agree about safety on future cars! I think self driving cars will be great ... unless safety systems fail. But if it works as it should.. traffic will be a thing of the past
