I have a 19 crew cab 4x4 and it’s the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. I have 3 kids and a lot of road time. It’s perfect.
I’ve even had to do some pretty nasty off roading in deer season and I swear I can hear the truck laugh at me as I calmly roll through what everyone else was scared of.
We’ll have some off-road footage soon! Even just a quick suspension change and bigger tires makes it very capable!
Likewise brother great lil truck. Wanted to buy a rzr but for a couple pennies more made sense to buy the Ranger. Great overall truck. Towing, offroad, mpg, and of coarse the turbo. Made it from Albuquerque to Colorado Springs round trip over 800 miles was showing 25.5mpg. I have a bigger air scope and K&N.
Lol my 3rd will be here soon and i just recently bought a 21 ranger; i was nervous about the back seat room thank you for the reassurance!
65,000 on my 2019 FX4, Eibach leveled, 33" and loaded, zero issues =)
Highest mileage I’ve seen yet I think
wow thats impressive. hows everything running? do u happen to have a catch can? i'd love to hear a review..
@@champinsoccer9 No catch can, no gas smell in oil, everything running great...I drive very casually and my brake pads still have 10mm left all around...you can find my build at Ranger5g forum..
awesome.. appreciate the reply.. i will definitely check that out! i am all about keeping my Ranger long term.. any knowledge would be appreciated!
@@KenDavis-uo8kq No issues...as long as certain modifications are done such as a lift kit (mine, Eibach Pro Truck 2.5"), removal of the offset crash bars + FX4 air dams, tucking back the rear felt liners...
Just bought the Tremor model and I love it so far. Ranger has no problems getting on the highway or picking up speed either. But im also coming from a compact car but so far been extremely happy with my truck
Just bought 2021 Ranger. Love it.
If you ever have Oil Dilution problems try and remember to get back to me!
me to... last week bought a 2021 XLT 3.2 Dual Cab... have to wait 3 weeks to get it here... cant wait...counting the days..
Me too!! 3 days ago.
Same here. Love it!
Looking at getting a 2021 FX2 I like the supercab model, hopefully they get in stock soon
I just traded my '19 Ranger supercrew 4x4 xlt. We bought a smallish travel trailer (18' box, 7.5 wide, 22.5' total) with an aerodynamic front with the intention of doing a little traveling. After the last trip from San Antonio to Corpus Christi Texas, it became evident (I loved this truck) that it wasn't going to be a viable tow vehicle. Even though the tow rating is 7500 pounds, towing a camper (total weight around 5000lbs) into a headwind netted about 6mpg. That's right, 6. I could occasionally withstand a 6mpg statistic, however with an 18 gallon fuel tank, I had to fill up at 120 miles. Those familiar with Texas understand that it isn't that far from SA to Corpus. I had to fill up in Mathis. Ok, so I thought on the way home I would have a nice coastal tailwind, so it would net perhaps 11mpg. Well, the morning we headed for home, a cold front blew in so I got 7mpg on the way home. The benefit is however I was offered a stellar trade in, almost what I paid for after owning it for a year. Traded to a 2021 5.0l f150. I loved the Ranger, but until there's an extended Range tank, or unless one is willing to carry several gas cans in the bed, forget about doing any real long distance towing. It's literally the most liked vehicle I've ever owned, but it just couldn't do the job from a traveling/towing perspective.
They really need a larger fuel tank.
Especially for travelling out west.
Give us 26gallons
Good analysis. I guess the 95% of the time when not pulling a camper, presumably getting 22-26 mpg, would make up for it.
I prefer the extended cab that gives you a five inch wider door for easy in/out and longer bed...
Just hit 1,000 on mine. Loving it so far coming from a much smaller car.
Test drove an FX4 a couple months ago and liked it so much I took my 2019 Tacoma TRD back to the dealer, turned it in (lease) a year early and ordered a new Ranger Tremor. I was stunned at how much nicer it rode, how much more power it had, the excellent transmission, much much better driver seat position for me (6'3" 290#) and more room in rear seating too. I've dogged ford for years after having two F series that I instantly hated, but this Ranger seems legit. Have been a life long Tacoma owner otherwise, had 4, kept one until 190k, they used to be solid lil trucks and unbeatable, not so much any more. Was curious on mileage, sounds much better than the 15 mpg (on a good day) with the thirsty sluggish feeling tacoma.
The Tacoma desperately needs an update
@@blueovalboys6096 Hey boss, so your 25K review was 2 years ago.....how many miles on it now? ....any serious issues?
Finally a review with some real world experience and opinions. I have two kids and need a truck to hall them and my video production gear around for shoots. I don't really want a full size truck so this is a great option. Again thanks for the real world view. Most reviews are a bunch of hipsters "off roading" and complaining about the lack of USB ports.
Just got my new 2021 xlt still learning about it but loving it
2019 Ford Ranger XL Super Cab with the STX and FX4 packages. The only thing I regret on my truck is not getting the Super Crew, although the extra foot bed length has definitely been used so not too much of a regret.
I got supercrew, and 1ft extra in bed is a big deal, you barely fit 6.3 ft fishing rods diagonally.
I've had a 2019 ranger xlt fx4 since they came out. I've put 41k miles on it and had absolutely no issues. I never understand why people say it rides stiff because I've never experienced that. Mine rides very smoothly and it makes me love it. I do have a 2021 ranger lariat tremor on order which upgrades the shocks/suspension and adds 32 inch tires. So I guess I will see how different the ride is soon.
Off-road ride was my biggest complaint with stock suspension.
A stiff ride is a 2012 Chevy Silverado LT. I owned such until I traded to a 2020 Ranger XLT. Big difference.
About 6 weeks ago I picked up a 21 Crew Cab Sport 4x4. Over time this will be the 4th Ranger I’ve ever owned. I’m holding it to some high standards. So far I love it. Just rolled over 3k.
I still have the last brand new truck I bought which is an 02 Dakota Quad Cab 4x4. That one is lifted with 33s on it. When I sit them side by side the stock Ranger is almost as tall and it only lacks 1 inch of ground clearance. My Ranger stock and that’s the way it’s going to remain.
Enjoy it!
Just bought 2021 XL supercab 4wd . Seems like a great truck .
I've got a 2019 4WD XLT - EcoBoost 2.3. I've had it a year and have no complaints. I was shopping for a Tacoma, but after test-driving and comparing the two, the Ford won out. Quieter, smoother, more comfortable, roomier and has much better mpg (23 day-to-day and about 26 hwy @ 75 mph). Surprising power and acceleration too with the turbo. I'm wondering about intake valve deposits with the direct injection cylinders, but with full synthetic oil changes (Mobile 1) every 4,000 miles, I don't expect much trouble.
I'm in the mountains of New Mexico and the Ranger handles all I throw at it with no problems. I was used to a longer PU box, but the Ranger 5-footer suits my current needs. Only thing I'm going to change is to switch out the factory tires for a more aggressive tread. No regrets here, and I would definitely recommend considering it when looking for a mid-sized PU.
Good set of all-terrain tires will help considerably off-road and still be smooth and quiet on road
I bought the 2019 ranger, and honestly I’ve pushed it probably to the limits. I have pulled a f350 dually and 5th wheel camper out of a snow bank, and pushed a 2011 freightliner with the same 5th wheel trailer fully loaded up a slick hill. There’s only one thing I wish it had.....a manual transmission!
I didn’t mind the ride at all on the move from Alaska to Florida, even with my bad back.
Honestly I'm curious if the new broncos manual transmission could be swapped into the ranger seeing it shares the 2.3
I was gone from Alaska when I got mine but I am sure it was a blast to have up there. I drop a Subaru Outback that I did similar things with, not big trucks but small cars and SUVs that got stuck pretty good. I miss Alaska in a few ways
You can get it manual in South America.
I purchased a 2021 Ranger Tremor in black in November, sold my 2006 dodge 5.9 cummins 6 speed 4x4 original owner with 218K . I find the ranger has plenty of power and has a comfortable ride. Tows my 20ft Alumiweld Blackhawk ocean boat fine and the wood trailer equally as well. Used first gear and tow/haul mode while bring the fire wood off the mountain, rpms hit 4,000 but didn't heat the brakes. Wish the fuel tank was bigger as my Tremor averages 19.4 MPG and has about a 350 mile range. Fits in the garage with room to spare as the dodge pretty much filled half the garage from front to back. Ford offer a $1000 rebate and 0.0% financing for 5 years who could pass that offer up! I like lots of power, so the Ford performance chip will be order soon and maybe a complete cold air intake and Cat back exhaust system. Gas is $4.49/gal at Costco were diesel runs $5.25 and up in my area, Arcata,CA. Gotta love California and its fuel taxes and regulations ....LOL
Awesome honest review. Thanks so much. Own the 2009 Ford Ranger sport 4.0L 4x4, bought it brand new. love that little truck but got my eyes set on the new one.
Just picked up a 2023 Ranger XLT FX4 crew cab. I love it. So far it hason been on the road and it rides great. This truck will be my daily driver. My wife even likes it because it is easier for her to pull into and out of parking spots.
It’s fast man I don’t even need to go in sport mode
Hey, thats cool to have Frank Caliendo in the passenger seat!
Great job on the review. Really informative
Thank you!
The ranger changes personalities depending on a lot of things. There’s ways to get leather where the plastic bits are like on the dash but that’s pretty much only in the lariat version. I’d say if you have the money to fit a lariat out with whatever you want. If I had the money I would get the tremor package which comes with a bunch of exterior features along with some interior features. The 2.3L engine is perfect as well. I used to drive an old turbocharged vw that had a 2.0L in it but produced 25 more horses and 40 more ft/lbs and it got me over 200k miles without any major issues. I imagine a newer engine with less pressure and better materials could get you close to or past 300k if taken care of. I’d recommend the ranger.
I would recommend as well!
Goodness! I do love my 2022 Lariat! I would never have thought a 4 cylinder would have been so satisfying!
Time will tell. Driving a 2014 Tacoma now, 2022 Ranger XLT Supercrew is now on order. Impatiently waiting for it to come in.
They should still have some out there with 100,000 now would love to see those reviews
Cool new channel! I bought a 2020 Ford Ranger XLT trim Super Cab 4wd (non-FX4) brand-new mid September 2020 in beautiful lighting blue! Love this truck in most ways. Sits up as high as some fullsize 1/2 ton models. I love having 4wd having come from recently 2 different "AWD" vehicles that wouldn't allow you to change modes etc. I do like the updated Ford Sync 3 in my Ranger, much better than Sync 1. The front seat interior room is great! The backseat in my Super Cab model is a bit lacking with its "bolt upright" seat backs, but still better than Rangers of the past & I certainly do get out of providing rides to folks, lol. I do love the efficient 2.3 liter EcoBoost 4 cylinder!! 270 horsepower from only 138 CID! That was supercar territory not that long ago. Also class leading beefy 310 lb/ft of torque, only "diesel" midsize trucks can beat this! I've gotten as high as 27 MPG on the highway + routinely get 21-24 MPG in mixed work commuting. The 10r80 10 speed automatic is great too. Nice to see a nice big, brawny automatic transmission in this midsized truck as well as the heavy-duty "fully-boxed" steel frame. I fully agree that a few of the interior trim bits/pieces could be of better quality, but literally ALL of todays midsized trucks are like this. Even the aging, but sales leading Toyota Tacoma looks "industrial" to me in the dash & cluster. I also noted the Rangers ride can feel a bit bouncy + "jittery" at times on certain road surfaces. But then again it's a "truck" that can also tow up to 7,500 pounds (some 1/2 tons could barely manage this not too long ago) as well as haul up to a 1,600 pound payload. But there are numerous suspension upgrades & leveling kits available for the Ranger that will vastly improve its ride/handling! I do love how all the Ford EcoBoost motors respond to power upgrades & this one is no exception. I've already got an AWE Tuning 3 inch exhaust system along with a Mishimoto cold air intake kit with "dry" filter. Very noticeable "seat of the pants" feel + power gains even on the stock Ford engine tuning! Heck there's even a Ford Performance "tune" by Livernois that even carries a warranty available! Great review of the Ford Ranger + am loving mine!!
I just installed Eibach 2.0 suspension today so I’ll post a updated video about the ride quality
@@blueovalboys6096, look forward to seeing the updated video!
Why I installed Bilstein 5100 , you can level with ride height adjustment, the ride is far superior
Ride quality related. I traded my 2012 Silverado LT single cab for a 2020 Ranger XLT. The ride quality is so much better. Seems to be a lot more dampened so you don't feel bumps as much. Main reason for the trade was MPG.
Nice review - fair and objective.
We leased a 2019 Ranger Lariat Super Crew Sport FX4 with 501a pkg 18 months ago and have 13k on the clock. All stock truck. My two biggest complaints are that there are no memory seats (I am 6’1” and my wife who is seven inches shorter never moves the seat to where I need it when she is done driving. Drives me insane. Other thing is the sliding rear window is not power sliding. The MSRP was $45k, how can these two features be missing? My 2017 Escape has memory seats.
The ride on the FX4 is not great on the road with nothing in the bed, the truck will bounce around. I am okay with it but it may bother some folks. The drivetrain is good, plenty of power and smooth shifts. The interior is a little tight when four of us are in the truck. It’s fine for short trips but I won’t be driving it to Tennessee this year from New York while we vacation.
I looked at Tacoma and I liked it but as you said the seating position was awful and the rear seat space was not as good so I passed. Overall, we are happy with our decision and look forward to the next 18 months of the lease. Would like to go to F-150 next.
My biggest complaint was the soft suspension especially for anything that is even mildly off-road. I wish the truck had memory seats also for the same reason!
4 months in 2,500 miles on my 2020 XLT 4x4 and loving it
Also I live in Florida and have never seen snow. How do you deal with that weather??!We cry down here when the temp dips below 65
Congratulations!
Tennessee isn’t so bad snow wise. One or two decent storms a year and that’s all.
I had 71000 miles on my 2019 shadow black sport traded it in for a 2022 Sport 4x4 love these truck's
I have a 2019 super cab model with the fx4 package and chrome package got 20,000 miles on I couldn't be happier with it it's the best truck I've ever owned the only way I would get rid of it would be trading it in for a ranger raptor
Hey guys, I'm on my second Ford Ranger 2002 XLT Super Cab 4X4 and it still looks in showroom condition with 176,000 miles. A Salesman asked how I kept the truck finish in its original condition. My reply was two coats of wax in the Spring and two coats of wax before a Pennsylvania winter. I had two rustproofing protection with two checkups in between. It went into retirement with me in 2012, and since I put only 3.000 miles on it a year. I did have the front seats reupholstered to their original material that I had purchased in the truck. Anything the truck needs I have it done. I want a New 2023 Ranger, but Dealerships are not offering me money for my trade in, so I won't buy new until they do! I'm a Ford Customer for a long time, and I bought a lot of New Ford Model Vehicles over the years for family members too.
I got 14,000 Miles on my 2019 Black 4x4 crew cab ..comes in handy in Chicago winters, no problems so far ..I enjoy my Ranger, I get a lot Compliments on my Ranger ...I was out in Tucson 4/10/21 and rented a Tacoma ,that's what Avis had available..it had 26000 on it looked great but ,you can tell it was beat up ,I thought it was going break down on me , luckily I just needed it for Aday & half..When I got home ,kissed my Ranger ...lol
It’s the best midsize truck on the market
23k on my 2020 FX4 crew cab ranger. 3” Eibach is completely worth the money. No problem to date with my truck. I also have a ARB with a warm 10s winch.
By far my favorite vehicle I’ve owned!
Would like to see your setup with the winch
28000 miles on mine and no complaints. i just put a SCT tuner on it and that made the little 2.3 wayyyyyyyyy quicker, very noticable power increase
I’ve debated back and forth about doing a tune.
How has it affected your mileage?
@@bracefrederick5525 my xlt supercrew 2020 4x2 is getting 25 mpg doing 70 on highway 🛣
I have a 2019 Ranger sport crew cab. I have been quite happy with the truck. Power, ride & reliability is great! My wife thinks the power seat doesn't go back far enough on the passenger side when there is just two of us. The manual controls are low and dark for blower and ect. I get in a lot of arguments with voice command lady when using the navigation.
Apple CarPlay is the way to go
We tow a 20ft bass boat or a Polaris general on a 14 ft tandem trailer. Pulls great and gets impressive fuel mileage while towing.
20 plus mpg while towing. My only complaint is that it should have a factory brake controller with a 7500# towing capacity.
I agree
41,000 miles 2019 Lariat 2wd. I’ve modified it quite a bit its Full Bolt on E30. Intercooler, charge pipes, turbosmart bov. Spd ss catted downpipe with a borla s type exhaust. Airaid intake, and 180 degree performance thermostat. I absolutely love my truck. It spanks those 392 Chargers. Only problem i have encountered is when you tune one of these the remote start function is funky. It starts the truck from a distance sure. But the truck doesn’t run like it’s supposed to with my tune. Only happens using remote start function to start the truck then drive. If i just push start, perfectly fine up to 434whp and almost a 500 wtq 4 cylinder at 489lb ft of torque! These rangers have Focus Rs Bottom ends with a Mustang Ecoboost top end and is a really fun truck to daily drive with a 10r80 10 speed automatic transmission! I recommend this truck far more than any tacoma or Colorado! Also if anyone is looking into tuning their Ranger or any Ford. Oz Tuning is the best tuning by far! (With my personal experiences of 4 different tuners including 5 star tuning,MPT,and Palm Beach Dyno. Oz tuning has the absolute best tuning capabilities for how i use my truck)
Fun truck to drive I love my 2020 supercab sxt
Just bought a 2021 FX4 crew cab...great truck imo. Only annoyance I have with the truck is at slow speeds around town it will shift to the highest gear possible, then lug the engine to 1K rpm. Drives me crazy. So I've started using sport mode at low speeds.
I do the same thing sport mode until I hit an interstate. This truck doesn’t like going slow.
@@raymcarthur3870 It certainly does not.
Yep. When 30mph range it will bog down -lug. Then as it slows, press the accelerator and experience the turbo lag... It lurches forward an takes you way over the speed limit... pita... gonna have to start using sport mode,,,
@@brianlane9534 thanks 4 sharing this info
I'm glad you pointed out the seating position of the Tacoma. My friend has one (base V6) and I'm only 5'6", and for the life of me I couldn't get comfortable in the truck when in the driver's seat. Can't see over the hood, and felt like my knees were up to my chin. Ordered a Ford Maverick XL Ecoboost in November '21 and received April '22. PERFECT SEATING position with a commanding view of the road. Considering the Ranger for next time around only because I want something with a bit more "ass" behind it, which I probably could have gotten if I'd ordered the Maverick with the FX4 towing package. Didn't realize my driving needs would change so quickly one year into ownership.
I have a 2021 xl stx. I wanted the base model for the vinyl floors because I have kids. Owned it for 6 months only 2k miles. I plan to level it eventually. Maybe around 15 20k miles when it's time to replace the tires. Honestly the nest thing about it is putting it in sport mode and smoking f250 in drag races lol. I love everything about except 2 things. 1 you touched on the suspension is rough unless you have a few hundred pounds in the back. But my biggestest thing I hate which is easily avoidable is the auto start stop feature. I would pay to have that turned off automatically and then be able to turn it on when I wanted.
Can the auto stop start even be hacked to stay off? I didnt think this was possible.
@seemeburn I did find 1. On the battery, there is an extra wire on the negative terminal. If you disconnect that it's always off. Only problem is If you tow the trailer lights won't work unless you plug it back in. I found that hack on TH-cam don't remember the og creators video. But just search disable auto start stop ranger
I owned a 1999 Toyota SR5 V6 Auto loved that truck. Now I own 2022 Ford Ranger XLT FX4 Crew Cab so far very impressed.
Thanks for the info! Great video
Thanks!
Hey you got the channel up!! Congrats!!
Thanks!
I have 31k miles and I'm super happy. Great gas mileage @ 25 to 27 combine driving.
Kinda caught in between a Tacoma and ranger at the moment , I have a Tacoma right now 2015 crew cab , it’s great off road and the ride quality is good just transmission has a hard time figuring out where it wants to be , but looking forward to getting a Ford ranger instead maybe . I just ran my Tacoma 24 hours straight just stopping for gas and I exceeded its payload capacity and it did surprisingly great but rpms where around at 3-4 rpm for hours .
Both are good trucks and both have their own quirks, I had the choice and chose the Ranger
Getting a 2023 XLT with the Fx4 package. The only issue I'm seeing is the GDI carbon buildup issue due to the direct injection. Likely gonna blast seafoam into the intake every 10k and maybe a walnut blast at 100k.
I have a 2021 ranger xlt FX4 with the Chrome package in black I love my ranger have no complaints have 10,756 miles on it now I’m 7 months into it now and so far I have no dislikes about it
I love my 2020 Supercab 4x4 Ranger... It is a beast..by the way I towed a Toyota Tacoma out of the mud and took me like 5 seconds to get him out.
Good review, thank you. Really wanted a Ranger. Could not find a good deal on one. Ended up with the Colorado. Good truck but that Ranger is a head turner.
A Colorado is solid
Have a 19- I fixed don’t likes - bought much needed tailgate dampener fixed tailgate flop. I Put wet okle seat covers -highly recommended makes seats way more comfortable.. The infotainment also freezes up and is somewhat difficult to use. Back seat release also had to be adjusted..to stay up after release. Other than that … best overall truck I every have driven. I had 2 tacomas so that’s says a lot.
I LOVE MY RANGER... TOWING .... RIDE ....PERFORMANCE...COULDNT ASK FOR A BETTER VEHICLE
lollll honest and unbiassed review , your channel is BLEU OVAL BOYS, thats a good one.
I have a 2022 ranger splash and I love it so far.
Got snagged me a 2021 Ranger Lariat and I travel for my job (161k miles in 2.5 years in my Titan) so I'll definitely double the miles you got here in just a year. I'll come back and comment any issues I run across.
How’s the tuck now
I bought a 2021 Ranger Tremor xlt,, got 23k on it already, I love it!
Great Review thank you 👍👍🗽🇺🇲 The Vermonter
More coming soon!
Anyone else have that annoying vibration on drivers side dash? Otherwise I love my Ranger. It’s a 2019 got it new and no issues so far. Enjoyed your review, thanks!
I didn’t have the noise
Ricky and Julian doing reviews now, who knew, lol.
You’re smoking all my good dope Julian
I have a 2019 ranger love it I have 19000 miles on it no problems
I’m about to break 30k no issues
That front end just kills it for me
Refresh is coming 2023
Cool video, Thank you. Rockin a '21 Supercab Lariat FX4.... Love it! Shrockworks armor installed, looking forward to a bumper or two. Some Mountune goodies with a Turbosmart plumbback BOV. Just received the Roush cai box cover, lookind forward to probably a magnaflow exhaust and the FORD Performance tune in the future. I thought the FX4 suspension was not too shabby. Am now on Fox 2.0's with Deaver HD leaf pack in the back, Nice... Planning on carrying a camper shell, hence the hd leaf pack. Hidden gem installed are the RCV axles up front, Thanks to APG. Lots of research and work and saving to get this far, so far so good. ..... Dig your sport edition, lookin clean (in the good way). Thanks for a great video. Keep on keepin on
Gonna make a video soon about my 2020 Ranger. Got King Shocks, Camburg upper control arms, and KO2 tires with Black Rhino wheels.
I want the black rhino wheels pretty bad but last I looked they’re on backorder forever
Also if you changed your tire size in the computer you'll notice your MPG didn't change much at all. Even though it's only 33s it still alters your revolutions per miles which affects your speedometer and your mpg gauge. I'm on 35s with a 6" lift, and still get 21mpg at 70mph. Just change your tire size.
The sport is my favorite model of those leave it as a sport but put the skid plate package on it and that's all a person needs
Has skid plates from the factory but not as nice ones as an FX4
Thank you.
Just added a tune and exhaust to my 2020 fx4 lariat, whewwww what a difference.
What difference do you see now?
@@ia6980 Alot more power, transmission remapped is no longer "second guessing". Feeling the gears and giving your truck a new tone was also a plus. SInce then I also added a Injen PF Cold Air Intake system, CVF Aluminum Intercooler Hot-side + Cold-side Piping Kit, and CVF 3" Stainless Steel Catted Downpipe. Have yet to install the downpipe. The CAI gave me a little more power, nothing like first adding the tune. And probably only the hot side piping showed any performance gains. That pipe was the most restrictive. All in all super happy with eveything, truck rips now.
Getting a 2021 ranger today i'm hoping. Or possibly tomorrow. been waiting 3 months for it cuz this chip shortage. Thank you for the video!
Thank you for watching!
@@blueovalboys6096 they built my truck wrong so i have to wait another 3 months. Womp. lol
A lot smoother than my Jeep but that’s a hole different animal,actually in the process of getting my ranger tomorrow.
I love my 2019 Lariat. I agree about the ride roughness.
I have the same catus gray truck in a '21 Tremor package and I too live in Tennessee... have a few suggestions..... get a tailgate damper....cheap and easy to install. Another really good add-on is a set of door entry guards (keeps from scratching up the step area as you get in and out). you can get Ford Ranger black chrome guards or you can get various universal guards. You may also want to look at a Ford or similar toolbox that fits over the bed tire hump. It swings out and is very handy. It's about 2.5 feet by 10 inches or so so. Ford makes one that is about 100.00 dollars more than one identical without the Ford oval decal. The generic one is available on Amazon or aftermarket truck sites. Next, add on outside rubber door guards and mount them low on each door...they look great mounted low and are more efficient placed there as well. When you install those make sure and use emblem adhesive so they will stay....the stick-on adhesive they come with doesn't last. (run by your buddies at the body shop.. they got that particular adhesive so no need to buy a tube just for that.) There is also a plastic tray available for the console...very handy to put stuff where you can get to it.
One last thing.....on Amazon, you can find covers for the radio knobs that have a red accent strip..they simply stick over the current plain knobs..they are cool as heck and. cost less than 10 bucks, I think. (search Amazon for: ruihe 2pc Red Aluminum VOL Tune Condition Button Trim Fit for Ford Ranger 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020). I have also bought..but not yet installed .....covers or overlays to all the interior door latch covers, dash panel, and console....mine are carbon fiber style but you can get red...carbon fiber looks best in my opinion. Those overlay/covers are available at most online aftermarket truck parts sites and are a bit pricey. I haven't decided to install them yet. Anyway, enjoy that truck...it is fun to drive! I am 68 years old and this truck is "just too cool for school" as we said in the 60's.... BTW. aftermarket dark chrome letters over the RANGER on the tailgate look great and I have done that as well. Those are about 50.00 and you can get them at your ford place or Amazon....really makes a difference!
I have same truck. Whats your mpg on yours?
@@Daddy_and_Bo was 20.8...now after 23k 19.4 mpg
@@lordkitchner4924 really. Mine is only 13.8 😭 since i drove it out from the dealership
@@Daddy_and_Bo dern...well I'm now down to 17mpg....and getting worse...by about .2 a week
wonder whats up???? ...if ity gets worse I'm taking it in soon
Thinking about leveling out my ranger and I was wondering the specific tire specs you run? Good video boys
It's designed to be that way so when towing it levels out
I bought mine level from the dealership as it has the bigger rims and tires on it. It was their upgrade version but it is still only a sport model 2 wheel drive crew cab. I only get 14 miles to the gallon, I'm thinking because it is level and the bigger rims and tires on it have a lot to do with that, what kind of mileage do you get?
What change in ride would you expect to see with the Eibach rear shocks?
I got a Ranger in March 2019. The only complaint I have is Ford made the engine really tasty for squirrels. Damn things chewed up some wires and the battery cover.
Squirrels are almost as bad as geese.
Plant base wires my Subaru had over 5k in damage
Great looking truck, mods really highlight the great styling, very good well done video!!!
Thanks! More mods to come!
I have a 2020 xlt sport crew cab only thing I hate is the small ass buttons to control the Ac!
Thank you
ok you mentioned turbo lag, on my 2020 ranger XLT super-crew i have the Fx4 my throttle response is like 3-4seconds thought it was a turbo lag but after doing some research installing a throttle monster or throttle commander helps increase throttle response
Does it affects mpg?
@ia6980 didn't see and info on that part but probably in you drive it like race car 1or2mpg but shouldn't be much 🤔
I’ve had my 2020 XLT super cab iconic silver now for 3 months. So far I’ve added a hood deflector and side window deflectors and have on order a Snug Top Rebel with Yakima Rack coming. :). I’m seriously considering a new suspension. My plan for my Ranger is to be my camping rig. I live in the Pacific Northwest and really enjoy camping in remote places. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated ;)
Eibach 2.0 suspension is what I just put on my truck and it completely changed the ride quality on and off road
Because of the Ranger's DI, have you installed a catch can?
Does the Tremor version have a better suspension like you where talking about like the Ibox or fox suspension thanks for your help
FORD PERFORMANCE GROUP CAME OUT WITH A PROGRAMMER WHICH UPS THE HORSE TO 320 AND TORQUE 38O, JUST LIKE THE MUSTANG WITH THE SAME MOTOR.
I had the dealership where I bought my 2020 Ranger new put on the Roush tune and CAI. If it wasn't for the traction nannies I wouldn't have any tires left lol. Also tows great with the Roush package.
@@jukeboxsteveinindy WHAT DID THAT INCLUDE?
Thanks for the video. I’m in the market for a ranger but can’t decide between a standard 4x4 or hold out for a fx4 package. I’d only use 4x4 on trips to Colorado or Arkansas plus helping my parents on their acreage. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
FX4 is nice for the terrain management, and skid plates.
If you’re planning on putting aftermarket suspension like Eibachs or Fox’s skip the FX4 and instead spend the money on good tires and suspension.
If you absolutely have to you can always add skid plates.
I’ll have a video out someday about what a non FX4 Ranger with good suspension and tires is capable of.
@@blueovalboys6096 That’s awesome. I’m looking forward to that video.
Okay so I have an FX4 and not driving extremely crazy or fast off-road, I'd say mine handles better than expected. Yes it could use better suspension but what truck couldn't from the factory. I got basically close to 34's with a -12 offset rim to match an aggressive look stance and match up with the fender flares. I do have to say that I did have to replace my crash bars with aftermarket to have wheel clearance. Haven't taken her off-road after the lift and bigger tires but I expect that she will handle very well. O mine is an STX version 2019 an yes the short bed sucks for having the super crew cab.
If I could’ve got a 6ft box with the crew cab the truck would be that much better
Hell, after warranty goes out. I might try to bold a 6ft bed on mine but with a little modification here and there.
Get a tray like they do in Australia.
I've thought about that as well but haven't decided I I really want to go that far or not.
I have a '19 STX supercab. I took the back seats out. Nice highway vehicle. Getting 20/25 mpg. Accelerating from a standing start is not impressive. Jerky shifting when cold. All in all not bad for the money.
Definitely accelerates harder from a roll
just a suggestion, most people that watch these kind of videos, Are wanting prices like how much did you pay for the truck? How much was your level and tire kit? How much do those other suspensions cost?
I have a 2020 XLT F4X BDS 6" lift on 35x12.5x20. It's an amazing truck. I have 25k on mine also.
Nice video guys but I do have a question ? What is the soundtrack you're using in the background?
Have the 2019 fx4 lariat with the fox2.0 coil overs on 285/70/17 Nitto Ridgegrapplers, and the Ford motor sports power pack tune with the roush intake. She loves to desert run and eat tacos
These trucks are a lot quicker than people realize
@@blueovalboys6096 i just got my 2021 stx. and i can tell you. is like a SUV with a bed in the back. is fast. drive nice and i love it
Great review.. Wish i could get the US version with the steel front end! I'm interested to know what your truck chassis(frame) condition is like as here in the UK there prematurely rusting out. The european version of the Ranger is built in South Africa and curious to know if the American built ones suffer with the same issue..cheers
Supposedly the frame is coated the same way as the F-150 frames so I haven’t had any rust issues yet.
@@blueovalboys6096 thanks for the reply.. I've a 2018 done 12,000miles!.. and it's in worse under body shape than our 20yr old farm workhorse defender90.. Check out the "Ford Ranger T6 Rusty Chassis Group" on FB
I mean there's some rust but that's just being forced to drive it in the winter when your snow beater wants to quit on you
@@dracodrake45 heres the latest.. Ford UK seem to have done a U turn and are taking the issue more seriously.. and after a vehicle inspection, are offering one of two fixes!.. a sticking plaster spray over the top "military grade coating!" Or the full strip down body off frame.. sandblast and powdercoat.. Mines due for the inspection in a few weeks..
@@smw738 You should not be having ANY of these issues. FORCE Ford to buy you NEW TRUCK!
Bought a 21 fx4. Just turned 1k miles. Ordered an Eibach pro truck kit today. Can't wait
If people are only going to do one thing to the truck I recommend new suspension. Completely changed the character of the truck.
@@eddonahue2756
Like I said up top, I ordered the Eibach pro truck. Hasn't come in yet
Do you still own the Ranger? How’s it doing? I’ve worn out many a 90’s model. We used them as service vehicles and put 200,000 on them.
would like a review from someone who's put 200k on one of these trucks
Hop in the Australian Ranger Forums, truck has been there for years!
I love my 2020 Ranger crew cab 4x4. Mostly use it for commuting. Great power and milage. I would prefer a split rear seat. Center arms rest needs more padding. Manual transmission would be nice. Plastic steering wheel is awful.
How many mpg on highway?
2019 ranger xlt full size crewcab here at 44k miles so far i love it. However i feel the difference when i go premium fuel compare to regular. I feel like a sport car on premium. Anybody else?
thinking about buying one thanks for review. I am a bit skeptical with you both wearing the hats and name tags for ford tho lolll
Almost all new mid size trucks come with a 5’ or 5 1/2’ bed try putting a tool box in the back now you have a trunk .
Unfortunately you are correct
how did you just level it and fit 33's? not possible without serious scrubbing
