We are being spoiled with trucks line up this year. Thx for the review Joe, keep em coming👍.
The Ranger might be the best looking midsize truck currently. Pretty sweet ride!
The new frontier is miles more aesthetically pleasing to look at than this Ford
@@santiagoluna3599 that’s a 2022 model that isn’t actually out yet. Plus it’s reskinned. Same truck and capabilities under it all. Same with the Pathfinder and Armada.
@@rustlesee It is the same platform, but I think it is more than a reskin, guess you could say the same for the new F150, next Ranger will be modified T6 that the Bronco is built on, so that will be close to a reskin also.
I appreciate you showing the mid-size trucks.Love your channel.
The tocoma will always hold a place in my heart
For 47k, they could of spiced up the interior.. looks like it's relatively low quality
Well it’s like a $42k truck with $5k in suspension/tire upgrades. If you want a fancy interior, maybe an off road Ford isn’t for you.
Rather have a TRD Pro. It will hold its value way better than this overpriced Ford.
Thank you joe for another honest review and mentioning the Honda Truck 🛻 and the great 👍 Jose Canseco baseball player as always looking forward to your reviews
An old school n/a V6 TRD PRO would still be my preference if I needed one
I owned a 2012 Tacoma TRD Off Road. My primary issue with it was I am 6'3 and it was the most uncomfortable siting position ever. When I looked straight ahead I was looking through the very top of the windshield. I bought Ranger and the powertrain is just so much more responsive...night and day difference especially at altitude. Not bad mouthing Tacoma, but for me it wasn't a hard decision to leave Tacoma.
That's the Ranger FX4 Max out here in Asia/Australia. Took it off roading a while back, and it is a highly-capable offroader. It may even present a better value than the Ranger Raptor.
Just bought a 21 Tremor in black. Beautiful truck. Paid 41 flat new. I don't know if I'd say it's 'better' than a trd pro but the drive quality is WAAY better in that the turbo charged engine doesn't lag like the Tacoma. you really do zip around town in this. the other thing I prefer over the tacoma is the leg room and seat position. The trd pro has more premium features but for a truck, yeah this thing is awesome. no regrets.
In the refection of the truck I can see Lori looking like a cat stalking it's prey. She is really "Doin' the business!"
Good luck to everyone trying to find this as MSRP. Thanks again for the overview!
I feel like Joe is your racing inspired uncle who will give the zero to sixty times for a Prius. Which he has 😂😂. Thanks Uncle Joe! Great video!
Nice looking Ranger. Yes, definitely needs more Tremor badges. I still prefer the 'Blue Oval' to the blackout badging, though. Overall, a good mid-sized truck. Thanks for all the work you do for the channel, Lori!
Like the history at the beginning! Actually learned a lot since watching your videos
Great video! I bought one in Race Red! I absolutely love it-
Oh yeah!! Been waiting for this, I personally think it’s a nice truck and the color combination is cool.
You can can actually see the ground moving under that truck 🙃
Thank Joe and Lori !
o have a lariat and love it. this looks like my truck with different paint and a skid plate. oh and switches. I put better exhaust and cold air intake 3" front lift oh mud flaps and side steps. I get loads of compliments and 27mph hwy
The new Ford truck nose is sublime. Best I've ever seen on a pickup.
A-Team paint scheme! Mr. T got a new ride!
I love my 2020 FX4 Ranger, but this one though… I want it 😩
I love this Ford ranger my friend have the same 2021 model when USA didn't had the Ford ranger line we still had it in my country the rebulic of trinidad and tobago 🇹🇹🇹🇹 even the model before this one
That red stripe on a black car reminds me of the van from the A-Team.
Best reviews ever great camera work. Love the extra mustard comment on other reviews lol.
That Maverick looks more like what would work best in my life with my budget. This is nice tho
I basically have the same truck. 19 mpg city is about right. Closer to 23 highway though. I love the truck. Zero complaints! 👍🏻
I bought the exact same truck a month with 12 500. The ranger lariat tremor is my dream truck until the raptor comes out.
Just 10 horsepower less than a new Ford Focus ST.
Keep in mind that the new Ford Focus ST is not available in the States, but it is in Europe and Australia.
The Focus ST weight is around 1510 kilos; the Ranger weights 2030 kilos.
I just bought a new FX4 and absolutely love it. I think the biggest criticism I have is the dash is outdated but it is stuffed with new electronics. I’m that odd guy who is a Ford guy but love GM pickups. I have a full size GMC for towing and stuff. I traded an Edge for the Ranger. The Ranger does everything the Edge did for me while giving me more use. The power is amazing and the 10 speed keeps it perfectly in the power band. Highly recommend a Ranger.
@@brad4527 I wouldn’t call it floaty but definitely not firm. I’ll probably never do this but it seems like the suspension would be well suited for things like a Mojave Jeep would do.
@@lightningblue648 Thank you very much, I like the tremor , but next year if the price is lower I'd consider it, but I'm looking at the Supercab and I'd level it with upc arms.
what else could point out if you don't mind, I'm a 3x Nissan truck owner 1989,1993,2005.
what is the mpgs on the highway if you drive at a medium speed of 70 per say etc. I would buy the FX4
Thank you,
Brad.
@@brad4527 I’ve put about 4k miles on mine so far. Around town I’m getting 19ish, interstate I can easily get 24, but one time I tried just feathering it on a country road at 55 max and got about 27. That’s not the norm though. Mine is a crew cab so it might weigh just a bit more than a super cab. I find it really fun to drive with all the low end torque. Just my thoughts.
@@lightningblue648 That pretty awesome! I bet with the cruise control you could get close to 27 mpg . I hope they put in a sunroof next spring, or when I get mine I will have to get 1put in from my goto shop.
I think the (less expensive) Ford Maverick is going to steal some of the Ranger's thunder, but if I’m not mistaken I think the Ranger is due for a 2022 update. It needs it because this truck was only “new” the US market when it returned a couple years ago.
Way too many zonks at that price point. Keep trying Ford,, seems like you mailed this one in. Great and honest review as always, Joe!
I have a Ford Ranger Tremor in the Dark Grey color and loving it...
That is one sexy looking ranger and I'm sure the off-road capability will be right up there I'm going to have to keep an eye out for that in my Las Vegas dealerships
biggest problem with this Joe is the price...for a few thousand more I can get into a full size F-150...now under 40k I'd be buying one of these
I'm glad i got my 2020 ranger xlt sport supercab for 32k. Decent 32" tires, eibach suspension and tune cost me another 1k. Total.
I DO want the rear leafs from the tremor though
Love this ranger, I have the regular 4x4 but it works great
Don't watch these videos if you're on a diet, you will relapse into you're candy 😂😂
@5:57 I already know I’m going to laugh when I hear the MSRP.😄
The red on black looks reeeeeal nice!!!
these trucks look cool but i just dont get why you would buy this over a full size for what they cost
"The steering wheel is very easy to use. It turns left easy, it turns right easy." LOL! Joe fantastic observation. I though I was going to need the owners manual. But on a serious note, great review and I agree, $47k, it should have more features and I agreed with all your zonks, including where you called the Ford Designer boring for the steering wheel design.:D
at the end of the filming you should show Joe and Laurie at the end when Joe is closing the show, sometimes Laurie should do the hosting of the show, that's what i think, we love Joe of course, just a thought of both of you being seen at the end of filming when you are closing
Thanks for making me feel good about my 8 inches ... Of car infotainment screen.
Jose Canseco signed baseballs, LMAO!!
I love it my boy Joe keep up the work and I love the video lot real true and funny 😄😆🤣good 💯
Beautiful design nice interior
Great looking truck Joe, and as always stellar review. I pretty much have the same zonks as you have with it. Side steps and the antenna on the exterior for me. Also would have be cool to highlight the stamped in Ranger somehow but I guess with the red accents that might not have worked. Still a pretty truck overall. Thx Joe and Lori.
I think so, that's why I bought a Tremor instead of a Tacoma. My fully loaded Lariat Tremor was cheaper, gets better mileage, has more power, and was actually available.
I love your video. I think I was laughing most of the time. I agree with your missed opportunities
I 100% agree on this with you just wish rear window was automatic like the honda ridgeline and wish the set up for the buttons under the screen was done different like the gmc canyon it looks better and cleaner
The things you complained about I 100% agree… I wonder if FORD even listens to what their customers want. I don’t think they do at all. They need to go out and ask every day people who like FORD products what they need to improve on and what they (we) would like to see. And I’m not talking about these focus groups they get cause they can’t be listening to them, or them are not getting anyone that wants a modern updated quality nice product.
I have this color in the EcoBoost version...... I love it
I saw a used one in Jacksonville for 43k I almost died. Like bro this is a FORD Ranger. Crazy
Hey yeah, I would love some new trim.
Color is awesome 👌 👏
Keypad is a Ford CLASSIC!
Just a few things to consider when comparing vs. a Tacoma: Yes the reliability of the Tacoma is legendary, but the resale values on the Ranger may be closer than you realize. So why would you buy the Ranger over the Taco? 1) It has a superior/much more comfortable driving position. 2) The Ecoboost in stock form already smokes the Taco's V6, but when adding in Ford Racing's own Performance Tuner, which carries a warranty to match the original factory warranty when installed by a certified tech, you can instantly boost output of this mill to 315 hp and 370 ft-lb tq on 93 octane (little less on 91) without worry. 3) The payload capacity is ~300-500 lbs more capable, depending on the Tremor/no Tremor option, which if you are planning to use your truck either for hauling or building an overlanding rig, is pretty significant.
So I didn't read through all the comments and I'm not positive, but that switch on the side of the shifter isn't for manual shifting. At least that's my take. I think it's a mode for overriding the overdrive. For example if it's a 10 speed and you're towing a boat you set the transmission to shift no higher than 7th gear. That's what I use my wife's Cherokee for anyway and it's the same type of design.
Gonna need more than one emergency Snickers after spending that much. I had no idea Florida has freeway underpass roundabouts, wheee.
Which would you prefer. ford ranger or gmc canyon?, I don't car much for power
The tremor package seems like it's almost totally a suspension upgrade. Also includes a few design and appearance zu zu's, but without a more capable engine option, it's really just a better off-road suspension and stance. Just my opinion, but I think you'd be better off getting the FX4 package, and then adding an after-market suspension kit (including better tires and wheels). Could do this for half of the $4K+ cost of the Tremor package. I wish Carli made a kit tuned for the Ranger.
The 2.3 turbo is VERY capable offroad. Tons of reviews and testing has shown this
For $47k, I'd rather get an F-150 to be honest. This truck may be smaller but you'd expect the price to be cheaper as well.
That's the thing, most people shopping this aren't just looking for price but the size of it, and Ford would prefer you buy the F150, it's definitely bigger gateway to enter than the Ranger, this is for people considering buying a TRD pro or Pro4 off road etc.
47k? That would be a big NO for me. The exhaust tip looks like it came off a 1986 Buick Regal. 🤭
Lol right? I have an old 2000 Buick in my driveway. It’s dads work commuter. It’s a beast though
If you have 8 inches, use 8 inches. Words to live by.
Great review! Can you please do a Test model y performance?
Joe, can you reach out to these manufacturers and Zonk (tm) their factories and get them ramped up? There's literally no inventory! Then, go to Asia and Zonk (c) the chip manufacturers....
I think they'd listen to you!
I agree with more Tremor Badges.👍
FOOOOOORD RANGER BABY!
That’s a SWEET looking truck!!!
Here in the Philippines, it's called FX4 Max. It costs Php 1,689,000.00 (12% VAT and other taxes included, but not the safety bond).
Php 1,700,000 = USD 35,494.50
The Raptor is at Php 1,998,000.00.
Less payload due to the the choice of coils over leaf springs at the rear.
Personally, this is a better choice.
Things we miss out on:
- B&O sound system
- The keypad
- Heated seats (it's a tropical country)
- Leather on the dash. Ours is plastic.
- Gasoline engine option
- Rear sliding window
- Door lock and unlock button for the rear
- Ford TowPackage
- Rearview camera
Things you guys miss out on:
- A 2.0liter Bi-Turbo diesel
- A sports bar at the rear
Nice! Can’t do 47k though. 😬
Am not feeling the A-Team stripe. Or the side steps. A few good specs tho
Love this Ranger Trimmer but if there was no such thing as mistakes in the Ford line up, if Ford has gotten a masters degree in making perfection always how cars, trucks, and SUVs look? Love the cars you reviews Zonkman but wish perfection was the name of the game and I think Ford should never miss any opportunities or make mistakes at all.
Will Sales go up if care were perfect or will Sales decrease if these car people made not 1 single mistake? Still love this Ford Ranger Trimmer but Ford was short from building perfect cars.
One of the nicest things about the Bronco is not having to look at the ghastly big blue oval badges. When is ford going to tone it down. Understated is better. The Ranger Raptor in Oz is much nicer, such a shame they don't bring it over here.
Blue oval is tradition! Nuff said lol
Wish they offered the Tremor in Supercab
If my son starts acting like Henry Ford, he gets no Snickers until he becomes a billionaire.
That's a nice looking truck but the f-250 one I like a lot better.
Anywhere south of Illinois, between the east coast and west coast, Ranger 4x4 XLTs are consistently listed between $39-44K, up from $31-33k just 4 months ago. I'm ready to buy but refuse to pay the huge mark-ups dealers and manufacturers are putting on their trucks. In Oklahoma, where I live, F150 4x4 XL models with the STX package (base model with sport package) are priced between $45-54K. Ridiculous price gouging.
I like the Tremor, but people have reported the auxiliary switch panel has came up and looks really ugly
I think the biggest zonk are these dealership markups!
You are so right!
Stealerships. There, corrected for ya.
how much?
Ain’t nobody buying any cars during the inflation bubble. Just wait for the market to crash.
@@donkedic1 are you kidding? Car sales are at all time highs right now. EVERYONE is buying cars, which is good news for me because I have a brand new Tremor going up for sale
