Got one aug '19. Ranger XLT FX4. 12400mis /1yr nearly. Flawless. Love it! I use my trucks daily, off road, hauling & towing. Its kept up with our '17 F150 XLT FX4 in every way. Ranger is smooth, refined, comfortable & feels best in class powertrain wise in our test drives! Drive one urself when shopping.
@@joshuamelton5132 "with the four cylinder" that's 300hp on premium fuel & 315tq ..BEST IN CLASS powertrain every review said as do I..a happy owner 1yr/14kmis so far.. it tows beautifully. 👍💪
David Klimmek excellent. Debating right now between a Colorado, ranger, and Tacoma. Just sold my 07 ranger xlt. Had a 6 cylinder 3.0. Had no issues with it the entire time I owned it.
My xlt balck out package has all the options that's supposed to be in the lariat , per this video. I've also seen a lot of xlt's with the same options as mine. Furthermore, I absolutely love my ranger and wouldnt trade it for the world. It does amazing with towing for a midsize truck and does outstanding on the trails. Trail control is amazing as well. Highly recommend them to anyone around. With that being said, great video.
I just got that truck,the xlt super crew sport model it’s my third ranger and it’s the best one yet I had 96,98 now a 2020 it’s changed significantly obviously but still a great truck the size is perfect for medium to heavy work this thing is a beast the power is only appreciated when driven
Howdy, great review as always! I’d personally get the 302A package or the Lariat if it was my money, but Ford seems to have done an excellent job with the Ranger!😸😻😸
Indeed. We love our '19 Ranger XLT FX4 crew cab . 1yr/12400mis so far. Flawless. The truck feels stout, sporty an well built. Our '17 F150 XLT FX4 has been sitting in driveway alot more lately . Lol. Keep trucking. Ford nailed it.
I was so excited for this truck but the interior is not up to par for the price. I'm trying to decide between the Ranger and an F150 crew with the 2.7l.
I agree! I love ford and always loved rangers but some of these ranger models are the price of a full size! The one thing I always liked about the ranger through the years was the value for the quality.
The overlap is always on purpose. You can have a high optioned midsize, or it can show people what the same price gets you in a full size. It makes sense from a money standpoint.
The ranger needs a 3.5 V6 twin ecoboost option that can really help it’s sales. I would like to find a plain 2 door ranger to do the twin ecoboost V6 swap
I hope you’re right. I just bought the 2020 ranger Lariat and is my first Ford. Was never a fan before due to reliability issues, that I hope have been resolved. Got a great deal on it and happy so far, but still anxious.
I'm impressed as well. I already have a new Ranger after looking at all in class. 1 test drive is all it too folks! Powertrain is next level as these review guys basically implied. Oh an 300hp on premium fuel is what Ford engineering has said. Nice. I added an AEM dry flow synthetic air filter @10k mis for added 9hp an superior filtering tho i usually recommend Motorcraft filters they are outstanding. Keep trucking! - blessings from Ohio 🇺🇸.
To anyone who owns a newer Ranger with the 2.3 and 10 speed auto: can the shift buttons on the side of the shifter downshift (to use engine braking) WITHOUT moving the shifter down into the S mode?
Well done video, thank you! I’d like to offer my (a Ranger owner) critique. I am trying to exert some influence on FORD. > The relatively new to the US market Ford Ranger is a mediocre vehicle. This is due to the manufacturer’s lack of both ethical and sensible business practices. I speak from first hand experience, having purchased a 2019 Lariat crew cab. There is a great amount of irony associated with this critique because this truck has a lurking potential for greatness. Just look at it, then drive it, it is impressive. It delivers a ride that a full size pick-up just can not match. So what’s my gripe? One engine no options and there should be, even though the stock engine performs just fine. The same applies to having a stick shift available. The rear seat is one piece, a folding seat adds so much versatility. The bed lacks all the extras that make your truck functional, Power plugs and storage compartments and the tailgate just flops down, without the easy access system. Inside the Lariat trim is not a Lariat trim, it isn’t even an XLT. Missing are memory seat function for two, vertical power seat adjustment, heated steering wheel, power sliding rear window. etc. The 2020 model changed nothing. Also consider that the truck was available in foreign markets, did they delete some components to save money? This isn’t the first blunder Ford has made, the scrimpy mentality and lack of foresight that brought us the “Pinto” is still galloping around in the Ford corral. As I stated there is a bit of irony in my critique, I like this truck perhaps if they didn’t call my truck a Lariat I would not be so bent out of shape. Since I first started posting this I’ve had some remarks mostly positive however a few guys said that those options don’t belong on truck. Of course then neither does a nearly $50K price tag. Truthfully todays trucks can come fully loaded with a bed on the back for work and hauling. I once purchased an F 150 XLT that was much better equipped than my current Lariat. I am trying to tell Ford to treat their customers better, they are the reason Ford exist. Ford has recently announced that there are upgrades available to the Ranger most along the lines of the not for sale in US, Ranger Raptor. Also there is a tailgate damper available for 50 bucks. They should have put that on my 46K dollar truck (cheap)
One engine and transmission option sucks! My local ford dealer still has five or six 2019s on the lot. I've only seen a handful on the road since they came out.
I bought one in December super cab model with the fx4 and chrome package XLT couldn't be happier with it I've been getting around 25-25.5 on the fuel mileage I love it
Paul Peters Are you still happy with it? Issue free so far? I bought the 2020 lariat in May and this is my first Ford. I got a great deal on it and Tacoma was first choice, but no lots have the 2020 right now. Nervous about having issues.
Me as well! Love my '19 XLT FX4 crew cab. Use a full synthetic SN+ motor oil an always motorcraft filters in this rig is consensus of Ranger 5g an she last forever.
@@christinaborbon4641 Why nervous bout having issues?? Take good care of ur fine truck & it will take good care of you my friend. Ford is the preemptive truck builder for a good reasons. Its very high tech motor/powertrain. As an engineer i will tell you to use high quality fuel! Midgrade OR preferably premium to get 300hp. Yes, u get 300hp on premium fuel! Use ONLY full synthetic motor oils SN+ rated to reduce carbon (in turbo applications) tho Ford has long history building race engines (not Toyota etc). If dealer changes ur oil request or bring ur own Mobil1 5w30 or Castrol Edge 5w30 w/you. Use Motorcraft filters only. Also, as an engineer you see which trucks I choose:). No Toyotas here. I change oil in my Ranger & BMW every 5000mis religiously. Do not follow IOLM. Changing oil at 7500 or 10000mis ludicrous an Toyota has replaced thousands of engines for sludge issues. Fact. Enjoy ur Ford Truck! U made a smart choice. Hope this info helps ya! - from Ohio.
@@Gingigeeee stay off the turbo boost tho its hard these trucks are fun an the Gen2 - 2.3L is robust. It's a 4wd truck folks you won't get Focus or corolla MPGs.
Bought a new tacoma. I’ve been having issues with it. I pretty much hate it. Been looking at these for a few months now. Would really like to know how they perform after 50k miles.
Perform at 50k mis? Well, this high tech powertrain is Gen2 - 2.3L Ecoboost. Well proven an used in rough applications like RS rally race car & Mustangs. So, as with my other Ford truck I fully expect it to run & drive as sweetly an smoothly as she does now w/12,400mis! It is a Ford truck brother. That means durability & longevity. I suggest you trade-in soon while good deals goin on due to Covid-19! I have '19 XLT FX4 crew cab. U def want the FX4 feature! Better suspension & stronger components. The Ranger drives sporty & comfortable. Best in class in tech, features, powertrain, suspension. U won't go back after owning a Ford truck. Use good fuel to get full 300hp. Use only Full synthetic motor oil & motorcraft filters in ur Ford truck & we see ya @ 300k mis. - best 2ya from Ohio.
Best truck in class & good review! We test drove them all & bought a Ranger. $44k before rebates. Well worth it. Last 20yrs with good maintenance like all Ford trucks in my experience.
Thanks for the awesome video, I really enjoyed it! In Canada you only get the Ranger in 4x4, which works in my favour, the XLT super cab would be my choice too, and due to our low dollar in comes in at $42, 000 and change. For now I am waiting on the 2021 Ford Bronco/ Bronco Sport features and of course pricing, very soon we all will know.
Nothing fake bout the power an killer 10spd automatic. Sports car truck of class! BMW augments the sound too brother. A Tacoma don't sound better & def doesn't run as strongly as the Ford. 2.3L Ecoboost is gen2 , proven an been in RS rally race car & Mustang for 3ys (Gen1). Facts.
@@ernestochavez5106 Yea, bad ass 2.3L 300hp (on premium fuel) w/10spd tranny. Smoothest & fastest powertrain in class. Read an test/ review. I drove em all & bought loaded '19 Ranger! Love it.
If by nothing new you mean best in class towing, fastest, a turbo, push button start that neither the canyon nor colorado offer (still in 2020 seriously?), then yeah, sure.
The ranger looks outdated. It’s like they planned on bringing this back way sooner than they actually did, and for whatever reason waited years to release. Aside from the technology, this looks like this could’ve been the next generation without a discontinue. I don’t know when they stopped making them, but this looks like it would’ve been the natural progression for back then.
This is the base model, the higher trim levels have more tech. My 2015 F150 is an XLT, but it had the FX4 offroad package which included a lot of the tech package added.
Not at all. It's proven. Its stout. Sporty. Built strong (over engineered parts) as any Ford truck. Not sure what ur insinuating. I think it's trolling myself. Anyone owns or drives new Ranger is very impressed!
"You might be surprised that it doesn't have a mini F-150 appearance and instead, is more rounded..." I am surprised by that, because it looks like a soup sandwich. I have heard that they just used the design of the world market truck and dropped it here in America. The problem with that, is it already looked dated when it debuted.
Mason u need to go to the gym.the fold down arm rest part was hilarious This pick up is too basic not at all luxurious or high tec features the dash is horrible Drew looking good
$38,000 is to high, I'd rather buy a F-150 that is a couple years old, The gas mileage , Not that great either at 22mpg , F-150 gets you 18mpg. just my opinion but, would rather go a used F-150 with V-8 Engine.
@@Aceinfinity-le8zc Exactly, I don't see really any advantage in a Ranger other than it is smaller , You can get it in your garage, Parking is easier, Better turning around on some of these dirt roads. But, $ 38,000 ? Wow I will pass.
@@najthesavior4286 I’ll be interested in the review whenever they release the new model. Didn’t know about the complete makeover. Should definitely be better than the previous model. I still like the Ranger.
No, time to start making pickup trucks again. All the mid-size pickups look like crap. The bodys are way to high over the wheels and the beds are useless.
This is a piece of sh%#^#}t truck. One of our granddaughters recently bought one of these found on the road dead trucks. She is already having problems with the oil pressure pump. She’s taken it back several times and they can’t fix it. They want to give her another truck either. She talking a lawyer now. Ford sucks.👎👎👎👎👎😡
I drove both recently. I've never owned a Toyota or Ford. The Ford was hands down superior. The only negative IMO for the Ford was the suspension might be too soft and wallowy, which can be fixed with various aftermarket kits fairly reasonably priced. The Toyota has several negatives. The seating position (and over hood visibility) was uncomfortable for my 5'11", 160 lbs body. No way to fix that with aftermarket stuff. Then there was the engine and transmission, which were just annoying, and slow. Again, no way to fix this with aftermarket. The Toyota was much hard to turn and park. I gave up and returned it to the salesman parking diagonally over two spots, lol.
Electric power steering---garbage. Halogen headlights in an LED era---dumb. Short power train warranty---poor value. Ranger is still a turd. Toyota wins again
Throttle sucks on it tho, you’re really forced to get a pedal commander when you get the Tacoma. Rangers throttle was a whole lot better. Enjoying that on mine, my bro has a Tacoma so already have best of both trucks in the family
@@Aceinfinity-le8zc Well, its the second and pretty soon the oldest design in the midsize truck class. This design and look for the ranger has been around all over the world for the last 12 years, only the Frontier is older and its got re design coming finally. Boosted applications do not have the longevity of non boosted ones. This being a small boosted 4 cylinder leads me to believe theses truck will not have much longevity pass 75k miles cause its entire life is under boost. While under boost the gas mileage goes south fast. Towing in the ranger with a trailer and any kind of decent weight you get about 10 miles to the gallon in that small 4 clylinder pushing max boost most all the time, Due to all the boosting we are now seeing more and more Rangers that have fuel getting into the oil. The truck is over priced for what it is and its cost to build. They sell same truck all over the world for a good bit less money than they do in USA. The keep oooing and ohhing over the new over priced re designed F 150 meanwhile the ranger hits year 13 and cost almost as much as a f 150 . V6 NA motor would have been much better option for the ranger to me. I am looking for a truck and all the mid sizes, really wanted to the ranger but for these reasons its a no right now.
For that price might as well spend a VERY little bit more and just get the full size F150. Ford designers suck IMO they need to be all fired. This truck has a bla - eh - nothing special - generic look and feel.
A similarly optioned F150 is a lot more expensive. For an XLT Ranger you can get an XL STX F150. For an XL STX Ranger you can get a base F150. They are by no means the same price!
An XL STX F150 blows this lil ranger out of the water. The only thing worse than this rangers pathetic design is fords new bronco. The fan concepts are far superior to these lame rollouts. Major fails and missed opportunities by ford imo.
hippo potamus Please elaborate on how it is blown out of the water. Until you order 3.73 gears with a 2.7L, a 5.0L, a 3.5L EcoBoost, or the diesel an F-150 can tow within 100lbs of the Ranger. Unless your requirements are some heavy hauling, interior space, or bed space. This little truck is up to the task. And the Bronco is a great modern take on a classic design in my opinion. But to each their own!
My main point was that for 38K this truck does not offer that much value when compared to the full size and imo is a total rip off. Do you honestly think that the ford bronco "modern take" as designed by the ford engineers looks better than the on line concepts designed by Mr. nobody-other-than-a-bronco-fan-joe-schmo? NO fuckn way man. The new bronco is hideous and most everyone I know is pissed off that ford would roll out such an ugly looking designed and ruin the bronco name. The new bronco is akin to the all female ghostbuster film.

Just weird that in 2020, it still doesn’t have a key fob unless you get the highest trim. So many cars have the fobs standard
It has a key fob at lower trims, just lock/unlock only
Do these 2020 Rangers have both Direct injection and Port injection in their engines? Thinking about longevity and carbon build up on the valves.
Ranger came back late to the midsize truck party and it doesn’t give you anything new or revolutionary

The ranger looks outdated. It’s like they planned on bringing this back way sooner than they actually did, and for whatever reason waited years to release. Aside from the technology, this looks like this could’ve been the next generation without a discontinue. I don’t know when they stopped making them, but this looks like it would’ve been the natural progression for back then.
This is the base model, the higher trim levels have more tech. My 2015 F150 is an XLT, but it had the FX4 offroad package which included a lot of the tech package added.
Nice review! Love the red
I like Ranger Wildtrak, it is Lariat version
#1 - Ridgeline
#2 - Ranger (armrest killed me)
#3 - Tacoma
Both ahead of a Tacoma haha
Ridgeline lol.
Great review!
But wow that build quality. That’s seriously concerning.
Not at all. It's proven. Its stout. Sporty. Built strong (over engineered parts) as any Ford truck. Not sure what ur insinuating. I think it's trolling myself. Anyone owns or drives new Ranger is very impressed!
Très beau camion ont l’adore
When I test drove a ranger it was very bouncy and I did not like that. Taco and Colorado do not bounce like that so Ford needs to fix the dampers.
Good video report!
Thanks!
It looks like a stiff breeze would blow it over
38k is nuts. Car companies are crazy. But idiots pay that money that’s why they are that high
Good review
Rather have 1999 ford ranger
No you don't. I have a 4 banner and is very under power to be truly utilitarian.
"You might be surprised that it doesn't have a mini F-150 appearance and instead, is more rounded..."
I am surprised by that, because it looks like a soup sandwich. I have heard that they just used the design of the world market truck and dropped it here in America. The problem with that, is it already looked dated when it debuted.
I really want one of these
Anyone else notice that he changed his shirt?
Wondering if the birds shit on his shirt like they did on the tailgate
There’s no replacement for displacement
For a low cost, a tune will have this truck faster than any stock pickup on the market.
I think the interior needs work
Mason u need to go to the gym.the fold down arm rest part was hilarious This pick up is too basic not at all luxurious or high tec features the dash is horrible Drew looking good
Hahaha 😂
No RPM gauge on the lariat?
It has that option on the instrument display.
Scotty Kilmer's outro.
$38,000 is to high, I'd rather buy a F-150 that is a couple years old, The gas mileage , Not that great either at 22mpg , F-150 gets you 18mpg. just my opinion but, would rather go a used F-150 with V-8 Engine.
You get 18 with the ranger too ! I know haha
@@Aceinfinity-le8zc Exactly, I don't see really any advantage in a Ranger other than it is smaller , You can get it in your garage, Parking is easier, Better turning around on some of these dirt roads. But, $ 38,000 ? Wow I will pass.
Nissan Frontier 2021
No comparison. Ranger destroys Frontier in every category.
@@marcmaz21 The new one??? Are u sure about that?
@@najthesavior4286 I’ll be interested in the review whenever they release the new model. Didn’t know about the complete makeover. Should definitely be better than the previous model. I still like the Ranger.
Ranger and value for money - not 2 things I consider in the same sentence. They're overpriced.
Compared to?
SPOILER ALERT!! TURBO CHARGED ENGINES WEAR OUT FASTER BECAUSE THEY STRAIN THE ENGINE MORE TO MAXIMIZE HORSE POWER.
STFU TAMARA
No, time to start making pickup trucks again. All the mid-size pickups look like crap. The bodys are way to high over the wheels and the beds are useless.
38k? Not even come with power driver seat, overpriced.
inside of FORD's looks like public transport. Get a tacoma which will outlast this truck.
This is a piece of sh%#^#}t truck. One of our granddaughters recently bought one of these found on the road dead trucks. She is already having problems with the oil pressure pump. She’s taken it back several times and they can’t fix it. They want to give her another truck either. She talking a lawyer now. Ford sucks.👎👎👎👎👎😡
Niceee
I like it, kinda, not a lot though, definitely would buy a Tacoma before this
Why is that?
I drove both recently. I've never owned a Toyota or Ford. The Ford was hands down superior.
The only negative IMO for the Ford was the suspension might be too soft and wallowy, which can be fixed with various aftermarket kits fairly reasonably priced.
The Toyota has several negatives. The seating position (and over hood visibility) was uncomfortable for my 5'11", 160 lbs body. No way to fix that with aftermarket stuff. Then there was the engine and transmission, which were just annoying, and slow. Again, no way to fix this with aftermarket. The Toyota was much hard to turn and park. I gave up and returned it to the salesman parking diagonally over two spots, lol.
Id rather have the Colorado. Im not a fan of the Ecoboost and I like the interior on the Chevy a bit better. Plus, Im a Chevy guy.
Colorado is so slow. That Ecoboost moves
@@torquesoftware the ecoboost is an unrelaible junk motor. The V6 isnt that slow.
Andy's Shop The Colorado has torque converter issues but neither trucks have major issues. The Colorado used to but that was at release
Chevys usually have the worst interiors
Nah I rather drive a ram than an unreliable pile of trash gm product
I want to like this, but it just looks ridiculous. It's too tall.
Man I what one so bad
Trop rond je te garantie que sa ce vent 1000 fois mieux on en veux des truck carrée
Not a good looking truck at all even in its most expensive form.
Electric power steering---garbage. Halogen headlights in an LED era---dumb. Short power train warranty---poor value. Ranger is still a turd. Toyota wins again
38K? get a tacoma
Throttle sucks on it tho, you’re really forced to get a pedal commander when you get the Tacoma. Rangers throttle was a whole lot better. Enjoying that on mine, my bro has a Tacoma so already have best of both trucks in the family
BTW.
Vanlife -_-
Truck is boring man
Make it more unique this product is garbage
Thats just just a chevy Colorado with ford parts lol
Good review! bad product.
Why is it bad ?
@@Aceinfinity-le8zc Well, its the second and pretty soon the oldest design in the midsize truck class. This design and look for the ranger has been around all over the world for the last 12 years, only the Frontier is older and its got re design coming finally. Boosted applications do not have the longevity of non boosted ones. This being a small boosted 4 cylinder leads me to believe theses truck will not have much longevity pass 75k miles cause its entire life is under boost. While under boost the gas mileage goes south fast. Towing in the ranger with a trailer and any kind of decent weight you get about 10 miles to the gallon in that small 4 clylinder pushing max boost most all the time, Due to all the boosting we are now seeing more and more Rangers that have fuel getting into the oil. The truck is over priced for what it is and its cost to build. They sell same truck all over the world for a good bit less money than they do in USA. The keep oooing and ohhing over the new over priced re designed F 150 meanwhile the ranger hits year 13 and cost almost as much as a f 150 . V6 NA motor would have been much better option for the ranger to me. I am looking for a truck and all the mid sizes, really wanted to the ranger but for these reasons its a no right now.
For that price might as well spend a VERY little bit more and just get the full size F150. Ford designers suck IMO they need to be all fired. This truck has a bla - eh - nothing special - generic look and feel.
Test drive it first b4 u .make comments. U might be surprised.
A similarly optioned F150 is a lot more expensive. For an XLT Ranger you can get an XL STX F150. For an XL STX Ranger you can get a base F150. They are by no means the same price!
An XL STX F150 blows this lil ranger out of the water. The only thing worse than this rangers pathetic design is fords new bronco. The fan concepts are far superior to these lame rollouts. Major fails and missed opportunities by ford imo.
hippo potamus Please elaborate on how it is blown out of the water. Until you order 3.73 gears with a 2.7L, a 5.0L, a 3.5L EcoBoost, or the diesel an F-150 can tow within 100lbs of the Ranger. Unless your requirements are some heavy hauling, interior space, or bed space. This little truck is up to the task. And the Bronco is a great modern take on a classic design in my opinion. But to each their own!
My main point was that for 38K this truck does not offer that much value when compared to the full size and imo is a total rip off. Do you honestly think that the ford bronco "modern take" as designed by the ford engineers looks better than the on line concepts designed by Mr. nobody-other-than-a-bronco-fan-joe-schmo? NO fuckn way man. The new bronco is hideous and most everyone I know is pissed off that ford would roll out such an ugly looking designed and ruin the bronco name. The new bronco is akin to the all female ghostbuster film.
