Truuuuuth

Steve is a great addition to tfl. He and his private trail system are a huge value to evaluations of these vehicles.
Steve is the man
You mean steph. Cause he doesn’t spell it correctly.
He's gone now he went to make his own channel
Tyler Schilling What's his new channel called? I'd like to give him a follow.
@@FrankyRedEyes truck king but i think theres a couple hang on I'll get. Alink
Steve makes the best off road videos! Give this man a raise!!!!
Go Ranger! Great little truck.
Steve's becoming my favorite cast member of TFL 👍👍👍👍
Hands down my favorite.👍
Same
He's got his own channel now! Trucks kings
@@dallasmellsop5488
Yup! Already subscribed 😎👍
I don't know his name but this guy is awesomely entertaining
Yep Steve is the best one they have in the TFL group hands down!!
He's cool.
No longer with TFL. Look up the channel Truck King
When he takes these trucks through challenges he cheers them on like he’s watching Rudy getting to play the last few seconds at Norte Dame.
Meanwhile I'd be cursing at it and calling it names until it got through.
Yeah it’s pretty obnoxious isn’t it?
Impressive. I didn't think it would make it through that mud pit. Love the Trail Control. I just ordered a 2023 Ranger Crew 4x4 XLT FX4. Can't wait!
Looks like Ranger handled it just fine! I think the FX4 Ranger would be up to the task of mid-grade off-road duties which would satisfy 95% of the owners. I have a 2019 and really enjoy it.
European TH-cam reviewers who test the Ranger vs Ranger Raptor, say not to waste your money on the raptor.
Got a 2020 myself and I totally agree. There’s a story online about some people who took 2 stock fx4s with rooftop tents on an overlandi g trip across the states and they did wonderfully
Outdoor Layne I don’t have any more panel gap or worse build quality than any other mid size on the market. I extensively test drove the entire segment, minus the ridgeline because it wasn’t really fitting to what I wanted it for. And the ranger was the most comfortable and felt the best to drive to me. I initially went in wanting a Tacoma but the engine was a dog and my head was firmly planted in the headliner.
Outdoor Layne with the amount of off roaring I’ve done in mine so far I’m going to have to disagree with you there, if I had a single qualm about it, the tires would be the biggest issue I had with it. As far as onroad it’s far more comfortable than the taco I drove. It may have been that the tire pressure was absurdly high in the one you drove, as I have seen instances of pdi not being done properly by the dealership and the tires having well over 40 psi in them still
2020 XLT Fx4 here same I'm loving it
Trail control is like using a calculator in math class.
Good little truck! You got the best reviews on YT dude. TFL is lucky to have you. Chatty, informative, you really to test these rigs well, and we can OBVIOUSLY see how much fun you are having. Keep the good work up!
I lucked out and got a 2020 Ranger Lariat as a rental for the next month. I’ve been SO impressed with the Hankook tire’s on-road handling. They stick like glue while I’m hustling on curvy mountain backroads but they’re also smooth, comfortable, and quiet. Now I’m even more impressed to see that they’re actually good in the mud as well.
I’ve been impressed with the Ranger overall, really. The only thing I don’t like is the 10r80’s automatic shifting logic. I even reset the ECU so it could relearn my driving habits but that only made it actually use 2nd Gear for about 20 miles before it went back to skipping from 1st to 3rd and hitting 7th Gear by 40mph and 10th Gear before 50mph. I really don’t see the point in having 10 gears when it only uses 5 of them as a rule. You would think it would kickdown gears aggressively when you toe into it but instead it just stubbornly stays in too high of a gear and bogs like when you accidentally shift from 1st to 4th in a manual transmission. The 10r80 is SUPER annoying 100% of the time.
Either way, I’m glad I got to experience this trans before the Bronco releases. I’ll definitely be getting mine with the 7-speed!
I can't wait for the Bronco, dealers will be giving away the Rangers and that's the time to buy.
Won't affect Ranger sales since those of us who own them like having a vehicle with a bed and the ability to tow when necessary. Bronco is more of a lifestyle brand like Jeep. Vast majority will never go offroad but goes well with the soccer moms and their North Face clothing.
@@frankking439 Ok ok ok ok. I know im a poser, i know...but if its dope its dope 😂
@@frankking439 they want to make a pickup version of the bronco
@@frankking439 I respectfully disagree. Time will tell.
@@brandoncaldwell95 It's a front wheel drive version based on the Bronco Sport. Not a real truck.
Steve, you’re the best!👍
I love my 2020 xlt supercab.. it’s not 4x4 but handles the trails just fine. I especially love that 0% apr 😬
Great video. The Ranger isn’t designed to be a hard core off roader. It did well and it’s a nice truck for daily driving and utility. It has enough trail capabilities for most people to have some fun.

And here's a Jeep trail. It did pretty well
m.th-cam.com/video/_A7BOFV2LZY/w-d-xo.html
I know it's still no extreme rock crawler but gotta admit the 6inch lift with 35s look great.
th-cam.com/video/aifreHR0o8Y/w-d-xo.html
man, you have one of the best jobs in the world 😅!
Love how you get so excited on these tests. Refreshing.
Now only if Ford would offer an extended range fuel tank.
So true!
Hardware stores sell them for about $15.
@@TheBeatenPaths lol!!
@@jimsomerville3924 how many gallons do you need? Mine gets 22-25 mpg. 380 miles out of last tank. Far better than my 2019 f250 6.2 with a huge tank.
tom lorenzen but you could go forever if they’d offer at 25 gallon
That was an awesome review, glad you tested in all that mud, handled great for a small pickup. Well done sir. thank you and thumbs up.
I am amazed how good this truck does off road!! Great video!!! Keep them coming!!!
Deep mud th-cam.com/video/sca0JJAzTQU/w-d-xo.html
Excellent video. Love the honest excitement Steven (Stephen) exudes as he powers through the trails; especially when he urges the vehicle on (Come on Ranger). Excellent job on the trail maintenance!
Steve you make off-roading so fun.
Roman is so Salty
Well done video. Your enthusiasm and enjoyment driving in the mud was contagious.
Love Steve's videos. He pushes the limit and it is appreciated.
That's not the limit lol it can do way more. m.th-cam.com/video/_A7BOFV2LZY/w-d-xo.html
Plus if you add a 6inch lift and some 35s it can look pretty badass and it won't strain with the 10speed it has
m.th-cam.com/video/aifreHR0o8Y/w-d-xo.html
Traded my 2019 ranger for a 2019 power wagon! No regrets, however the ranger treated me very good. Sweet ride
Steve is the best at TFL. His torture test w the 4Runner was a sight to see and sold me on that truck. Big ballz.
Can't wait to see what happens when he gets the Broncos.
If I’m ever in the situation Steven ask to borrow my truck, I’d have to say nope, but where can I drive you, you just know the boy is heading for the mud. As usual great video, you get as excited going thru the mud as Andre does about modifications, Nathan does about drag racing, Roman does about EV’s, Tommy does about old worn out British SUV’s and Mr. Truck does about rodeo trailers. TFL Truck is some sick puppies and real truck folks love it!!!👍👍👍
The Ranger did a good job in the mud. Thanks for sharing TFL & Steve.
The older rangers also did a good job off road on hills and mud
I had a 2010 Ranger 4x4, it was terrible on road, not too bad off road but there was no acceleration whatsoever, passing speed was no good
Deep mud th-cam.com/video/sca0JJAzTQU/w-d-xo.html
Steve is so charismatic... Great video
AWESOME VIDEO!! FX4 owner here, but still hadn't taken it off road yet. its good to see it can handle itself pretty good if needed.
You have such an awesome channel! I really love the fact that you make these trucks work for a review and not just pussy foot around for the companies. Good job guys!
Haha must have had a Red Bull before he started this video.
Nailed it. Stephen ways does an excellent Job given his honest opinions.... Probably why he was hired from TFL. 👊💪👍
I own a Ranger in Australia. Great truck and easily the best in class down under.
Better than the Tacos??
I got a 2019 FX4 at a massive discount and I'm loving that truck. With just a 2" Falcon shock level and some KM3's that little truck is outstanding offroad or On.
If you dont mind me asking how much? I have a 2019 xlt and I'm looking to upgrade the shocks and add a 2 - 3 inch lift
@@Invader501st I got the Falcons for $1300, 5 KM3 32" for $1200. Though this was during the lock down panic selling, same time I bought the truck. The Falcons are realistically a 2" level. I went with 32" tires but I'm confident that a 33" would fit . Unless you want to buy offset wheels you need to keep the tires at a 255 width or the tires will contact suspension components.
How much of a discount? I’ve heard of $8,000 rebates of of selling price? What trim level and pkg, what was your discount or out the door rice before tax?
@@mitchellkasdin1899 I got an XLT pretty loaded out the door for 31K. The original window sticker was still in the glove box and it was listed at 39K. The truck was sitting on the lot for 35K. Also ford was offering 0% financing.
I Ray Out the door which includes tax for $31k. Sounds like an amazing deal! Plus 0% you stole it. This must have been early 2020 Pre Covid. So you saved $11k off of sticker (tax included). Your truck is an fX4 with tech package and tow pkg? That’s what I’ve got my eye on.
I’m still holding out for a second gen Ranger with a bigger touch screen, fold flat rear seats, dampened tailgate, and maybe even a sunroof. They add those features and I’m sold.
After seeing the Bronco interior there's no way Ford can't upgrade the Ranger interior...it looks so blah now
And a bigger gas tank. 19 gallons is puny
Heated steering wheel would be nice too.
I could care less about a dampened tailgate
The second gen Ford Ranger was built from 1993 to 1997, and that's only if you don't include the original Ranger which was a trim level of full sized ford truck.
I think the winner here were the Hankook's all terrains. Impressive for an all-terrain to have virtually no slip in that hydro line, but I wonder how much of it was the system reacting faster than we could sense the slip or if it was really just great grip in the slosh?
Trust me it’s not the tires.. Iv had multiple trucks come with them and they are terrible. Iv had highway tires that outperform them.
Thanks for the video 💪🏽
Since you have done some maintenance on the trail, maybe you should redo the Tundra, Titan, and Ram again through the hydroline.
Damn, Steve is a legit badass. He actually really tests off road in the worse conditions. He is the Best tester in the TFL by FAR ! 👍👍👍
This lad is the best addition to TFL.
Impressive trail control through the mud.
Love the reaction!
Great video Steve. I enjoyed every bit of it
My Frontier has Dynapro ATM tires. I've been on some very rough snowmobile and ATV trails this summer. Steep hills with lots of loose rock, and a few muddy areas. The grip going uphill is amazing. But, I still don't think I'd run them in Moab. The rocks there are razor sharp.
I plan on ordering a 2023 Ranger in August. Can't wait to see your vid on those!!
The ranger is a nice truck. I have the 2013 " budget" ranger. Single cab 2.2liters with only 120 hp. But it is definitively good in any situation. I have street tires with the mud + snow mark. I just have to swich on the 4L mode and if gets out off every muddy terrain. I love it
This guy is the best, great video
I really enjoyed this guys personality in the video. Haha he's my kinda dude to go off roading with. Good video!
Another great video, keep it up.
I have a 19 Ranger with the same BB licence plate, not that many numbers away, funny. Just love my truck. Put a Bully Dog on it and with good fuel and the 93 tune its a monster sleeper. 0-100km/hr in 5.5 seconds. It eats all the other mid-sized truck with the stock tune. Nice to see the mud performance, I haven't had opportunity to try it out.
Whoa this is my new favorite channel
His review of this truck was so enjoyable. He is like an older brother I've always wanted to explain stuffs like this to me. Ha ha
Thanks for the vid...love Rangers!
HIS THE BEST TFL HOST PERIOD.
Like seeing the trail cleared out. Would like to see some of the trucks go back now that you aren't as worried about under body damage
Hi, I saw an XLT with electronic locking rear diff and 4wd....no FX4 package... So aside from the skid plate on the FX4, does the different suspension really make a big difference?
EXCELLENT REVIEW of RANGER in the MUD. TFL OFF ROAD puts it to the OFF ROAD CHALLENGE of the FORD RANGER.I was CURIOUS to see how THE FX4-OFF ROAD PACKAGE handle MUD and DEEP SNOW, IN THE event i find myself in a situation that calls for me to use it. I have the 2022 FX4 CREW CAB(ranger). The TRUTH is that it's NOT as CAPABLE as the ZR2, or TACOMA TRD-OFF ROAD (but, the REALITY is the FORD RANGER still CAN GO WHERE THEY CAN GO excluding the JEEP GLADIATOR BUT, THEN AGAIN THE GLADIATOR COST MORE.
What an awesome video! Great job!
Great video again Steve, beware my friend we had another tornado warning up here last night so you may have more downed trees. Keep it up Mad Moose🍁
Great review, terrific reviewer!
This video makes me want to buy a ranger..nice vid!
If I remeber correctly, this is the same track when you test the Nissan Titan pick up., where in its stock on that mud part. Great video as always Bro.. can't wait to see the new Bronco in action.
Me thinks that you'll be able to get your FX4 Ranger with a manual transmission or a 2.7L V6 soon. Hopefully the next model year.
I’d really like to see how well the FX2 does in some off-road situations with its locking rear diff.
Yes I bought a fx4 with difflock, works fine even on slopes and mud. Great gas mileage and quite different from the old ranger.
Great video! Everytime i see a video of you, you remind of a country singer Luke combs! Y'all look similar.
Steven, Great video as always Where in Canada Do You Live?
Was the diff lock engaged through the Hydroline? Just curious. Great vid, thanks!
Amazing those Bologna skins made it through that
Good to know we don't have waste money on more agressinve AT's
How about put those rocks back and do it again?
Right like the other trucks did. Drive it man. Drive it!
Do those new Off road packages raise the overall ground clearance or just the front? Love the Hydroline videos!!
I'm pretty sure they do.
My F150 with the FX4 definitely looks taller next to a regular one.
@@teop7887
Not in the 2015 2016 xlt models
@@shitloveaduck you gain half an inch actually. It has bigger tires than the non Fx4. 31s instead of 30s
Good video!
Trail control looks like a great way to get too confident and break stuff. Solid overall midsize truck though. Can't wait for the Ranger Raptor to finally hit North America. Good vid.
Sure is a nice pickup that Ranger. Wish it could be had with the Coyote V8.
Yeah, a Ranger Raptor version with a 5.0 would be a beast. They would sell a ton of them.
This is the Ranger test I've been waiting for!! Thank you!
P.S......you guys who want a Ranger Raptor. Why?!. If you're doing more than this in a factory pickup truck, buy this guy's tractor!!
Now there is a man who is enjoying his work.
This dude is like the Canadian Stacy David the way he drives through mud.
I had a 01 edge great little truck , I been thinking getting a another midsize, my full size is harder to trail run
I'd like to see you get a hold of one of the Rangers with the fox shock package from Ford and see how much the difference is. Great content as usual. 👍
Doesn’t the fx4 already come with fox shocks? I think I saw fox logo in this video when he showed the underbody
@@shitloveaduck I don't have the ranger but I do have a 19 Nissan frontier 4 by 4, I also changed out my struts and shocks immediately but I couldn't afford Fox shocks so I used Bilstein 5100's and I added BFGoodrich tires (285-60 x18's)also. it made a giant difference.
I have the fox shock package (upgrade from FX shocks on the Fx4 package) and I added the dealer 2 inch level/lift in the front w/32inch Nitto Ridge Grapplers....Does great off road and for towing both
I have the ford ranger wild track witch is the top of the range in Australia absolutely love it the 3.2 diesel is suck a reliable engine goes so well have about 120000km on it now with no problem just putting lift and Tyers on the thing changes the Ute off-road great Ute 👍👌🙌
That tractor performed very well. Might have to get one of those bad boys.
I've already got one!
And it is possible to get one stuck, especially if you have equipment on the back and try to cross a steep sided creek. :-(
The fx4 4x4 (either the mt and at) in my country has no rear or center locks. Is it necessary for these types of trails? Not doing some rock crawling just maybe some stream crossings, dirt/gravel roads, essentially some light to medium off roading (or heavy if needed but those hardcore)
Can say from my own experience with my ranger that the Fx4 is one bad mamma jamma. Have yet to find a true challenge for it yet
Good shit
the hell with off road trucks get a tractor lol
I hope you guys can review a Roush Ranger soon😀
Awesome tractor. I think the 4wd goes back to Ferguson and was used in F1 amont others...
You da man Steven
It's gotta be fun to do this for a job 👀
Get a tune on the Ranger Eco. Game changer
That turbo motor sounds like a great fit for a truck. All these other modern V6s don't make much low end torque, it's all at the top end which is exactly where you don't want it in a truck type vehicle. That's the worst thing about my Toyota 4Runner, the 4.0 doesn't make any low end torque. Very sluggish at low RPM.
I like this truck.
After watching this vid... I’m just going to buy a tractor for off tossing cause it handled that mud really well.
If the ranger was at the level of those other trucks it would cost as much as 20k more. You can get FX4 on the base models for just around I think 2-3k Canadian. Which puts you around 36k before taxes. A tacoma with TRD package is over 50k, same with the ZR2 Colorado.
Maybe we will see the Ranger take on the Bronco looks. Also possibly a standard cab regular bed/short bed ranger would be amazing. The ONLY thing I hesitate on for trucks is the length. I deal with crowded parking lots on the daily so that's an issue for me.
Dude I love your videos but you said the base bronco wouldnt be better at off roading than this ranger due to have a touch less ground clearance but clearly the approach and departure angles of the bronco would provide a huge advantage.
When you testing the Ford Tremor on the hydro line?
Hey wrong channel!? 😂 nice video
Sweet tractor. May be do a video about tractor benefits with they 4 we and power etc.
I wanna try it.
TFLOffRoad make sure to correct the ground clearance measurement. The Bronco says 11.6" but that is below the rear diff only. Measure it at the front diff, then at the breakeven point between the wheels. I think it is over 16". Much higher then a Wrangler or a Defender.
