That 2.7 in the Ranger will turn that thing into an absolute rocket. Crazy power to weight.
Yeah well they also are putting a 3.0 twin turbo in it
@@All-Miles-Matterbut that’s with the raptor edition though 2.7 as a choice then a basic tune with that engine it’s going to be overpowered
@@thejavierpa awesome!
@@All-Miles-Matterthe 3.0 though hasn’t been as reliable. The 2.7 is an awesome engine. It should be the standard engine for the Ranger IMO
Wish they would’ve given us a king cab option like frontier and Toyota not everyone needs a crew cab and certainly not a 5’ bed some people want at least a 6’ bed
I agree, just a little space behind the seats for a couple of suitcases is plenty.
@@1kukini and a bench seat with column shift so that if you had to get a third (smallish) person in a crunch you could do so.
They are selling what sold the most. Over 75% were sold that way so it makes sense to do that.
Agreed. They have payload and towing and seats and other features for work but forgot the 6ft bed? They seem confused on who they are selling to. Daily driver/recreational truck=GM & Toyota. Work orientated=Nissan & Toyota 6ft. beds but the nod to the Nissan with the simpler engine.
Your exactly right. As a tradesman,I opted for the frontier because I need 6’ bed. The last thing I need is a backseat which I find totally ridiculous.
I'll admit the Ranger is the most capable mid size. After seeing Toyota's latest effort this is best in class. I owned a 2014 Ranger overseas and really liked it. Its not so cramped inside like most mid sizes. It the goldy locks of mid size trucks.
Now, I am looking forward to the presentation of the Ford Ranger, as you stated in your presentation. Keep up the good work, young man.
Thanks so much for the video. That XL side mirror should be an option for all trim levels. It is so much more practical. I was expecting to see at least a little offroading?
Plenty of off-roading coming in a couple days with our complete Ford Ranger Raptor review. And then of course when we can get one on home soil, we'll be sure to get it muddy.
@@TruckKing I have a question. I’m 6’2 and I’m weighing in at a measly 265. We are relatively close in size. Were you able to get in and out the drivers seat easily, and what was your overall comfort and fit in the truck? FYI: I am getting a Raptor version that is built and waiting on shipping. I’m a little concerned about how I’ll fit in this truck
He seamed to have answered that in the video..@@RRAPTOR24
@@michygeorg thanks for your input. But I asked for more detail. He briefly mentioned his size and weight. But I was personally asking for more details. Thanks again
I’ll wait for the creators response
@@TruckKing Thanks for the reply. I have to say that Ford is letting the public down by only showcasing the Raptor offroad. I feel like there is a serious lack of hype for the non Raptor models of this truck.
Too damn expensive still. Great review, the base model looks fully featured.
It's the tiny fuel tank that made me get rid of my 2021 Ranger. I upgraded to a 2022 2.7 with 36 gallon tank. It's been amazing towing our 6X12 tandem axle utv. It's around 4600 lbs. The towing range with a Rangers 18.8 gallon tank was just plain ridiculous
Yeah that’s a really good point I hadn’t considered! Rats…
That is the biggest drawback on these. A 30 gallon tank would make it almost perfect.
I bought a Black XLT about a month ago put a deposit down and waiting for it to be started made at the factor just for me. It’s going to be a while for them to be produced because they had a strike
Hello do you know if Base truck can have a trailer backup assist feature added?
I like it. 2.7 range sounds like a good idea.
Im really curious about the bed being wide enough to haul 4x8 materials without having to stack 2x4s in little slots. I really hope you TH-cam guys perform a proper comparison between them all.
44.8 inches between wheel wells. I don’t think any midsize will fit plywood flat, it would compete with full size
Nice job, man
I do like the blue paint.
@truck king, so the new 2.7l motor is for this summer, does it mean i can order now or it means this summer i an order it then?
The days of 12 foot beds are long since over
40k for a base package truck is insane
Agreed
Facts
i like this channel
Other than the screens and LED lights this thing looks like it could be 5-10 years old. Ford is even more conservative these days than Toyota was in the '90s. There's nothing about this truck that gets me excited. It would be like buying an appliance.
Rear AC Vents are lacking and just get a hot whining 2 year old back there and see if Ford decides to add them like the overseas Rangers do
The 'mids' are getting bigger and bigger; and that's too bad in my opinion.
It's only 2 inches bigger on the side lol. And the ranger is still smaller than the canyon. Also, for those that use it for work you can now put a whole sheet of plywood inside.
I think you should look at this ranger as just a truck rather than a midsize. It’s got great towing, payload, and practicality while not being gargantuan. I think the ranger makes way more sense than an f150, if you want smaller you can get a maverick. It is too bad the true small trucks aren’t here anymore but I like this ranger as just a truck
Best new midsize is King Tacoma. It is what Marty Mcfly drove. This Ranger is what Biff drives. Hopefully the ride of the new one don’t get you sea sick 🤷♂️
Best new midsize is King Chevy.
Tacomas All speak Spanish!
Tacoma is nice, but it's a way overpriced Ranger knockoff.
Sounds like an intelligent decision making process
@melvin… Tacomas are bilingual for years. 😃
Good morning Steve
Why do they always show case the new style trucks in other countries first and not here
Because this is the "F150" of the world. Designed, tested, and refined in Australia, not here. It's way more important to them than us. Ford won't even sell 100K a year here.
My '21 Ranger already has 315HP and 375TQ with aftermarket tuner. And an electric rear locker. Don't need a bigger, heavier truck with basically the same power to do what I need. Not to mention it cost 10K more than my '21. Hard pass.
Who cares, you do you.
@truthserum5310 You must care, otherwise you'd have kept your idiotic remark to yourself.
you should never be at MAX towing
You better buy a utility trailer to haul your gear! This is no more than a car with an open trunk! Millennials Genzyme!!!
No push button start? That's a basic luxury I expect today. At the premium Ford charges, that is simply unacceptable! I'll take my money elsewhere.
It just looks outdated already. I just can't see it selling well in Canada.
lmao, copied a chevy Colorado design language and threw a Tesla giant iPad screen on the console
We, the consumer, have to stop buying vehicles at these ridiculous prices!!! They keep going up in price because we keep giving them money. They’re laughing all the way to the bank.
I like how we call mid-size trucks "little trucks." I pull up to an older Chevy 1500, or Ford F150 in my 2022 Frontier, and they're basically the same size. People be commuting to their office jobs and the grocery store in massive heavy duty trucks nowadays.
haha Ikr, It's crazy! I was thinking the same thing about the size. I had a 2003 silverado, and I got into the Colorado zr2, and it felt like the same size 😂
Dude you’re telling me?!? I use my Mazda 3 hatchback more for the outdoors the 99.8% off pickup truck owners driving these absolutely massive trucks. Tbh it’s a little embarrassing as my first truck was my grandfathers 98 little ranger.
There's still a pretty noticable difference between the two separated by 23 years.

@@AK_Rayhey man you’re not supposed to bring up dimensions and specs dude! Just say the trucks big!
I think society needs to get away from the throwaway and upgrade regularly mindset.
A carryover engine is not a big deal. I'd rather have them support an engine for 20 years making small improvements over time, only making reliability better. (King quad, brute force, grizzly 🤔)
Sadly people think old is boring and bad.
And I get it, they want to make people want new. But the industry has a normal cycle. Rich get new every 2/3 years, middle gets mildly used and own for 5+ years. Poor pick up what works.
And the whole income span gets something.
It's 100% about making EPA and other government regulations.
The Ranger is now a baby F-150. GM and Food are 2 strong choices in the midsize segment. Great review Steeve 🎉🎉🎉.
Now I am hungry
Ranger is getting capable enough that they should put a 75” bed on it and call it an F-100.
And it becomes the f150 super cab and about the same price minus the room 😂.
@@robertopics It might not make sense to you, but some of us prefer the driving characteristic of the mid-size segment.
@@robertopics In Canada my fully loaded Ranger is $55 000 all in - my friends fully loaded f150 was $81000 - so not even close in price
I can't believe the new ranger doesn't have rear vents. Crazy!! Fire the accountant who told the engineers to remove them.
100%. I'd also like to see a split rear seat bottom so you can have a passenger and use of the floor space next to them. We often use our F-150 this way.
Love the rear locker availability and wider bed. My biggest gripe is the solid rear bench. I love the split back seats on my taco.
Love the new ranger, but I wish they would've offered the Bronco's 7 speed manual
I would drive manuals in the 90's because they were far superior to the autos of the time. But now, I don't see the point of a manual. The Autos have better fuel economy and usually have some sort of selecting a gear. They are also programmed great. I see these comments and don't understand why anyone would ask for this on a modern truck. Manufacturers are not going to add them if it makes up 10% of sales.
I wished they'd put them in the f150s too. I'd much rather replace a clutch over a transmission any day..
Isn’t Toyota offering a 6 speed in the 24?taco? I prefer manual myself. You can put it in the right gear instead of a sluggish slow automatic when you really need it for the fellow saying no need for manuals in new modern trucks, boy people talk before they think…lol
Modern Automatics are not sluggish. In fact, you cannot shift as fast as a modern auto. It is just not worth it any more.
No thanks. I love my weekend Sports cars to be manual, but not my DD truck.
Be cool if the shifter was on the column to free up that space on the console for cubby storage. My 17 F150 has a column shifter and I much prefer it.
NOOOOOO!!!! I HATE column shifters. Only bare bones vinyl seat and floored work trucks have column shifters.
Yea I have no idea why everyone got rid of them, they are so functional.
Thanks TruckKing! I really enjoyed the video and I love the truck. I personally would go with a 2.7 V6 in the XLT trim with the FX4 package. I cant wait to see your off road videos in this.
Congrats! This is one of the best reviews I've watched yet. You covered more pertinent info than many of the other reviews including TFL, (sorry Andre).
I like the new look and glad it has a little more room in the back seat. I wished they would offer two tone colors on the exterior.
Ford said they’re listening to their customers and still put a 100/0 rear seat…..
Will they come out with a Tremor trim?
If they do, I’ll get it with the 2.7 ecoboost.
You get a ruler on the tailgate?!!! Well I was on the fence, but not anymore 🤣🤣🤣
Would love to see that generation of ranger with the 5.0 coyote motor as a factory option. Since you know that somebody will offer a swap over implant kit for it eventually and I think it would be right at home in that little truck.
Trying to purchase a Ranger Raptor; dealership told me that it will take months to get the color I want! Pathetic that ford rolls out a model that they cannot even manufacture in a timely manner.
I'm really liking what ford did with this new truck for the money.
i dream of the day i buy this truck with thhe 2.7... Im saving and waiting... HURRY UP FORD!!
I was seriously thinking about getting one but then I found out that they do not have Auto 4wd like my Colorado. Just 2wd n 4wd hi n lo
Wet asphalt is super slick plus driving on patchy ice n snow
The True 4wd system is actually better. Auto 4wd has a clutch in the transfer case that can fail. Also, the oil for an Auto transfer case is crazy expensive.
@@GYPSY400 but on on patchy slick roads where you cannot run true 4wd as you will tear up diffs u-joints and transfer cases. The Colorado and Canyons transfer case which has 4wd-auto 4hi and 4lo takes 2 quarts of sexton vi. $7 a quart
Getting more for less? So this truck is less than last year's model? Or is it like the F-150, paying more for features that were added to lower trim levels?
I love this truck. However I would not tow a 5,000lb camper, 3,500 max
Primary issue is it’s still too damn expensive. The XL STX trim shown as the “base” Ranger is the same price as a Nissan Frontier Pro 4X. Sure the Ranger may have more tech, but I don’t want a tech laden truck, especially with how crappy Ford’s quality has been since Farley took over.
If I really wanted a Ford in that price range the XL F-150 is the same price, but comes with the 5.0 V8!
I'd buy one if they were reasonably priced
I like that base model. They seem to give you a lot of features. I'm curious how much of a difference there is between the LED reflectors on the base model there, and the LED projectors on the Lariat.
Those grey panels from the sport appearance package do wonders for the front end, it just doesn't look right to me with one color over the whole front. I wish it still had a real steel front bumper like the previous one, though, the ones on my previous gen have saved my truck not once but twice when people hit my parked truck.
I'll be interested to drive one of these new ones and see how the ride compares to my 2020 on Blistein 5100s, which were a huge upgrade and transformed the truck IMO, especially for towing.
One thing that bugs me is seeing that those huge running boards are stock on the FX4. Even with a bit of front lift from the Bilsteins and slightly oversized tires, nobody's ever had an issue getting into my truck, not even my 5'7" 77 year old dad or a 5'1" female friend who's been in my truck a bunch, and those steps are just gonna get in the way off road.
With Ford's recent quality wors, I trust this truck will be a first-year nightmare.
Love your style of presentation, Steve! Very natural and easy to listen to.
XL trim all the way. I'm definitely a fan of the vinyl floor, standard features, and rear legroom of the new Ranger. My family wouldn't need any more than that.
Loving the refresh design and simplification of offerings. I think it is a fanatic change all the way around.
Great review Steve.
I like my 23 canyon elevation in and out compare to that ranger , maybe in 5 yrs ranger will be more attractive for me
Are you sure there is an actual trailer brake this time lol 😂. You know the last ranger never had one right? Even though you had said it did right?
Nice ride!!
Nice. I pickup my 2024 Ford Ranger XLT, 3 litre V6, 4 wheel drive in acouple weeks. Rangers in Australia have a different design. Free tub liner, side step on the tub. Keyless start. Towbar, Side steps. Rubber floor mats. 360 lights and camera.
52k for a ranger is insane. No way
Not that it should cost this. But when am equilavent f-150 to that lariat Ranger is 75kish it kinda makes sense. It’s all priced 10-15k too high. But price wise it lives up.
Lot's of bean counter cost cutting, no rear vents or 3 zone temp control, cheap bench rear seat with no split for storage with a passenger, would be a perfect platform for the flat floor and split fold like an f150, the off the shelf tailgate assist, some cheap looking plastics on the interior especially the center console area and knobs, no convex mirror because you can't have it with bliss? Just not as nice as I had hoped for, especially for over 50k on the lariat.
If I were to trade up to the new Ranger my pick would be the XLT model, with the new 2.7 V6, tow package, FX4 package, and heated seats, block heater. Living in a northern state these are essentials IMO.
Love the new Ranger but it's hard to step down out of my F150 lariat especially fuel mileage.
I hate the vertical screen 😬😬😬
Ford did the 1 thing it said it would never do. They gave up on the full size bumper and appeared to use plastic like others. Looks rather nice and looking forward to actually seeing them in person and especially the Raptor version with the bigger ECO boost !
Work purchased a 2019 for me back when it for came out. I absolutely love everything about it.. BUT this new 2024 model took care of all the little tweeks it was missing. My truck now has 62k+ miles on the odometer and I NEVER once had a single issue with it and I drive this thing like I stole it, HARD. Their looking into this '24 model now for me, and I hope it's as reliable as my current '19 Ranger because I can vouch, this babynwas built on a Wednesday for sure! Haha👍
Bought one 9/9/24 and I ❤IT .. Still figuring out all the bells and whistles... Automatic dimmer on lights is nice ..lights are bright makes night driving better
Unless you like a smaller truck for maneuvering and what not, the F150 2.7L costs about the same for the same MPG. No, thank you.
You said “it’s gonna be crazy”about reviewing the 2.7… that was over 3 months ago now. Why has no one shown the 2.7? Town of is out here don’t want the Raptor but we also are tired of seeing everyone and their grandmas with the 2.3.. it’s great, sure, but we wanna see the 2.7 PLEASE!!! Cheers..✌🏼
Great review! Always enjoy your content.
Great review as always. I was hoping to get one of these when I was looking to replace my old truck last year... but the delays in getting it to the US market were too much for me. That blue XLT you were driving was basically exactly how I would have spec'd mine. I really like what Ford has done to it. I just wish they would have hurried up a little lol.
If the 2.3 is a mechanical carry-over, does the tuner from ford still work on it? 2.3 with 310/370 vs a 2.7 with 325/400 seems like a marginal improvement.
The instrument cluster For the XLT is awful! it looks like a phone app. It just looks just cheap! it's a deal breaker for me!
I'm very curious what the next gen Tremor will offer in North America. Considering prices of the XLT FX4 vs the Raptor, it has to be a $50k truck.
The biggest drawback of this car is that it doesn't have the 4x4 Auto on any of the trims, which can be a massive headache up north during the in-between seasons.
My truck has auto and I've never used or even imagined what it would be good for. I'm glad you commented, and now I know
@@teddonley9594 I had the "pleasure" of finding out the hard way what it's for when I switched from an AWD car to a 4x4 truck without the Auto option, and almost ended up in a ditch when I turned left from a high traffic road to a side road with a decent snow cover. My previous car wouldn't even care in such conditions because it would engage all wheels instantly and the new one struggled to recover, because you obviously don't have time to enable 4x4 manually when trying to stay on the road lol. It is also a massive headache when you're parking a heavy truck in an area where there is a partial ice cover and it's a bit of an incline, because you need to turn 4x4 on and off depending on the surface and if your turning or not.
@cymerus2 we don't get a lot of snow but if it starts I just put mine in 4 hi but the roads are mostly gravel anyway lol
Well I guess if you don’t know how to drive that could seem like a set back
@@jeffreybrown530 All you need is a bad day when you zone out or a moment of distraction, and you have a problem. We all mess up sometimes and 4x4 Auto helps quite a bit when the driving conditions change from location to location, which can surprise you. I personally know a few professional long haul drivers who ended up in problematic situations many times, Mr "master driver" ;)
Over priced for what you get ,Ford can keep it ,i can aford anything just about ,but most prices are to high .
Fot the same money i can get a very nice restored older truck
And be way happier.
My Ridgeline has a payload capacity of 1,509 pounds; so not all midsize are that weak- Not a fan of any 4cyl turbo for a $60K truck!
$60k usd? You must be confusing Tacoma pricing with ranger pricing. This is $40k

Base Truck... sheesh 40k is a base midsized truck price now? It does come with a lot standard, but don't kid yourself, you are paying for all of it, hence 40k. Don't show me vinyl floors and try to say it's low end with it's 10 inch an 8 inch screens a powerful turbo engine, trailer back up assist etc. etc... but hey, I guess it's what everyone is buying.. maybe we should just start calling them "how much money can we charge and get away with truck" and all the brands are doing it now, not just picking on Ford.
Why aren't any TH-camrs reviewing the '24 compact/midsized Ram truck?
I don’t think there out yet are they?
Ram hasn’t built them yet
Another Ecoboost garbage from Ford. Come on guys, whatever happened to naturally aspirated engines. At least put in your 4.0 V6 from the 90s Explorer.
You say wind, but it's really Mormon God
I’ve watched quite a few reviews on the new Ranger and yours is by far the best. Thank you.
Best midsize truck on the marketplace is the Ranger!
VW Amarok has different, more comfortable, front suspension. Buy that one when much asphalt driving is what you do!
what's the fuel capacity, my 2019 only has a range of like 350 miles when topped off? tank should be bigger
Much prefer the old school key; they pretty much never malfunction. Unfortunately I don't like that great big screen they all seem to have now. Fuel economy could be a bit better.
Please note the Ranger is the ONLY Midsize Truck with Amber Turn Lamps on the Tail Lights ….thats important to me and not one review yet has mentioned it….
Way better looking than the last cat fish looking one
Not including a basic cab option is a miss for fleet sales and those of us who would like more bed space and don’t need to put a family in the back seat.
Watching this again, I really like the lariat. This truck is very high on my list. It has great towing capabilities for our small travel trailer.
I agree with the big man. 4000lb TT for a smaller truck. 7500lb TT for a 1/2 ton.
This was a really really good thorough review, through and through. Thank you Sir!
It rides kinda trucky......LOL,
You're driving a truck.
Ford should have put the built-in bed steps on their base trucks too.
Not so great looking... look's kind of cheap inside out🤷♂️
