- After years without a midsize pickup, Ford has followed GM and brought back the Ranger. Using its EcoBoost four-cylinder, it's already the most fuel efficient pickup in the segment.
Find us on your TV @ www.motorweek.o...
The Ranger in the intro is cooler.
They shouldn't call this a Ranger... maybe a F100 Ranger. The Ranger was a compact truck. It's like slamming the ECO 3.5 in the Taurus and calling it a SHO. The Yamaha 3.0 and 3.2 was exclusive for the SHO. I've loved Ford since I was a kid, and now I can honestly say I don't. I still like older models, but nothing from around 2010 and beyond.
Google ford lobo truck. I'm a big guy and like rangers. Even have several. Yeah it be easier for me to fit in this truck but it's like the size of a late 90s f150 when they redesigned from boxy truck look to curvy look.
V6 with 6 speed manual needed
I'm kinda bummed that there are really no "compact" trucks anymore, just midsize or bigger.
According to Ford, by 2022 they'll build a compact unibody front-drive pickup based on the new overseas Focus platform. They say it'll be a 4-door model only and will be powered by nothing more than a 2.0 I4. I'm thinking something along the lines of a 4-door Transit with a separated bed from the cab opposed to just chopping off the rear portion of the roof leaving the "bed" integrated with the rest of the vehicle like the Subaru Baja. Would be very interesting and would surely be a big seller if done and priced right. Say, in the $15,000-$20,000 range?
Trance88 There really aren’t any compact PEOPLE anymore, either. Just wide bodies. Lol
Trance88 The Honda is very car like.
@@natehawkins2910
"..wide bodies..". 😀😁😂🤣

I liked your comment but let's be serious for a moment. Those 10 year old pries are never coming back.
I don't understand why they won't bring the Ranger Raptor to the US. The Americans will love that thing.
I would assume it's a slow role... Let's see how the Americans like the mid sized truck, and then we can look into adding the Raptor or others later.
The Ranger Raptor is coming to America.
i suspect they fear it will eat into their f150 raptor sales
Ford is keeping it under wraps...
Ranger Raptor.. what??? I didn't know they made that lol!
This is pointless... We want a mini trucks. Not a "mid" size. It's about the same size as a 97 f150...
I miss the old rangers size ;(
The Maverick is on its way 👀
John Davis is still enthusiastic as ever!
2wd, posi and bolt ons and this will be a sweet sleeper
Alex Youngberg posi is a GM term. Other than that... yes! This thing could be a monster
14.9x's stock!
You can get a locking rear diff from the factory as I did
I remember John Davis saying he still has a Ranger...is that it? Like the way it's outfitted.
Screw the new one, I want the gray Ranger Super Cab that John is standing next to in his intro!!!!! The new one IS AWESOME, but..........just sayin'...........THAT thing is MINT!!!!!!
landyachtfan79 Ya with a durable n/a V6 perfect.
I love the old Rangers!
Ford badge is faded beyond blue. Mint, sure
That old one and the rest of the olds are complete piles of $hit...
Shoot bro, I don’t blame yah, I’d take that old one any day, it’s a fine lookin truck
Ford should stop making vehicles...all they keep making is the same car over and over
I wonder how many viewers got the "Hi-ho silver!" reference. Only Mr. Davis could pull that off, since no one else reviews autos like the Motorweek team.
Lone Ranger
Love that Sabre orange color. Hope it’s an option on the new Bronco.
Why not your usual test track test? None the less, you are the best John Davis and I hope to buy one of the "beasts" but not until my ultra reliable 2009 Hyundia Sonata decides to quite. LOL
The old Ford Ranger was FANTASTIC! Ford did a great job with the new Maverick, but I will always miss the older rangers... They were capable, reliable, and I loved the wide choice of options, glad to see they did that with the Maverick too.
Slightly bigger than my 97 f150
I'd rather buy a Toyota Tacoma because that's what Scotty Kilmer suggested I should do
Yeah I just keep listening the Scotty 🤣
Scotty said the Honda ridgeline was one of the worst 5 trucks you should not buy---kinds proves he is full of crap.
@@chadhaire1711 actually that proves hes right. The ridgeline isnt even a real truck.
EVO: A. Stop being an idiot. B. The Ridgeline is a REAL TRUCK--look it up in the dictionary. C. In fact in the Scotty video it says "five TRUCKS you should not buy", so Scorry himself said it was a truck in the title. D. The Ridgeline has proven to be the most reliable truck on the market--even better than Toyota.
3rd Gen Tacomas arent what they used to be.
¿ Y la Ranger 3.2 Diesel Made in Argentine ?
No, not made there
People who know nothing about new Rangers: "bla bla bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla, bla"
Those of us who own them: "One of the best vehicles I've ever owned"
I LIKE THE NEW FORD RANGER I WOULD LIKE TO SEE FORD TO HAVE A CLASSIC PANT JOB I THINK PEOPLE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE FORD RANGER CLASSIC LIKE TWO VERSIONS OF THE FORD RANGER CLASSIC THE FORD RANGER CLASSIC 1983 VERSION AND THE FORD RANGER CLASSIC 1993 VERSION
Meh.....gotta 00 and a 90......and this looks like some kinda metrosexual thing a coffeeshop owner drives
Big disappointment. I owned 9 different Rangers and this will never be one. The FX4 I have now is my last one. I love this old truck has 63000 miles now.
They've been building this very same truck in Australia for years now. It sell predominately in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Now in those countries it has a 3.2 liter I5 diesel engine. Its got decent power and its very torquey, but best of all its robust. This 2.3 turbo I4 just seems problematical. Getting 270 hp out of an engine that size is really going to hurt the durability and longevity of the engine, especially if you use it as a truck. Putting that I4 under constant stress by towing is really going to wear it out. I see lots of Rangers broken down on a long hilly stretch of freeway in our future. Its a great truck it just needs a better engine. Either a V6 gas or the I5 diesel.
Allen Portz b/s Ford has been an international company for decades, they even imported Model T's from Canada. As for engine differences its a matter of what customers want. Ford exists to sell a product, not to stroke your ego!
@@roberts459 Stroke my ego, what the fuck does that mean? If Ford wanted to sell a product they would offer it with a wider range of engine, transmission, cab, and other such option. Instead you get one engine, transmission choice and two cab choices. You sell products by appealing to every niche in the market.
This is why I'm buying a Toyota Tacoma instead because that's what Scotty Kilmer suggested
People said the same thing about jet engines and lower displacement V8s. As time moves forward, so does technology and engineering. Look at integrated circuits, they're one of the greatest examples. I bet consumers had the same thoughts you're having now when turbo diesels came around.
in Scotty we trust
North America should have get the 3.2L I5 CRDi Turbo Diesel engine. Its the best engine offered here in Asia, and lots of torque. I know you use lb-ft, but it is rated at 470Nm of torque, and 200hp for a Diesel. I know Diesel engines is quite different in terms of strict emissions, but it is possible to meet North American emissions standards. It might just get a bit detuned. But it is the perfect engine there. Just renamed it as the PowerStroke there from its name here as the DuraTorq. Also it has an available 6 speed manual transmission, paired with the 3.2L engine. It is the best combination you can get here.
The 3.2 I5 diesel in the USA is only in the Ford Transit vans and it's branded as a Powerstroke. It is possible because the Ford Transit vans uses the same engine.
Back then in the 60's my late grandfather used to tell me that having a car made in America is highly desirable. He used to have a Chevy Bel-Air. It is perceived as something better compared to those Japanese offerings. Now though Ford is no longer perceived like that, it is now made in Thailand and Malaysia, and used to be made here in the Philippines.
@Allen Portz Ford started building cars In Manchester England in 1911, 3 years after the Model T debuted. Your anti globalization argument is a little late.
@Allen Portz apparently, Ford is also Australian, Asian, South American and European. It's not just the American Ford we love dearly.
@3:18 the money light (CEL) is already on haha! I know I know - it's because the truck is in 'Run' and not actually running. But, I had to because...well...I couldn't tell you any Ford that I have ever owned where the CEL was on for no good reason - normally the damn EGR system (except my Thunderbird - because it doesn't have one 🤣🤣). All kidding aside, it's a nice looking truck (even though it's been selling worldwide for a long time). But that engine is way too small. It needs a 6-cylinder naturally aspirated, not a turbo-4.
s_reilly you are a idiot
So check engine lights do stay on on newer fords until you start the engine. So can you prove that the truck is running and not in accesory mode?
@@chadharmon5716 Ooooo aren't you smart. It was a joke buddy. Just like I said in my post regarding the vehicle being on 'Run' but not actually running. Any car when it is placed in 'Run' will illuminate the CEL/MIL until the vehicle is actually started. So being that you cannot understand a simple joke - just as I mentioned in my post - you may want to reconsider who the idiot is....
Did you see how much movement that truck did when that man got in the backseat and adjusted himself?!!!!
With the ton of incentives the F150 brings, you can get a full size cheaper. And with more engine choices. I love the old Ranger. The new one makes me sick to look at it. The price is even more sickening.
$about 5 K cheaper with incentives for a F150.
Yeah I worry they’ll keep the prices up with the rangers, maybe by not building as many and “creating” more demand. OTOH, when I bought the Ford Escape a few months into its first year some dealers where charging a few $k OVER sticker. Just, because. So with time maybe the rangers will have better incentives.
Why is it so hard for yanks to admit that’s its Australian designed and engineered. Your welcome.
no 0-60?
Thus far I think they are only allowed to drive them around and look at them. I'm guessing that they are not willing to lend them out for track testing just yet.
@@billgateskilledmyuncle23 youre right.
0-60... eventually...
You don't buy a truck to do 0-60 at stop lights
I've seen 6.9 seconds. Pretty impressive for any 4cyl.
Never been a Ford guy but that is a really nice little truck.
@2:52 That's pretty sad that Ford needs to put a sticker on the shock so that their workers don't install it upside down
It helps remove the human factor. A lot of companies do these things.
Sure, but the sleeve around the shock already indicates the installation direction. If you put it in upside down it would create a cup which would collect water and debris.
Makes you wonder how many unmarked parts are installed upside down in the vehicle.
I’d prefer to have a NA V6. It’s not like Ford doesn’t have a new V6 engine.
I like this truck! I hate the Buzz Lightyear, door open reminder.
ranger is for daily commute, f150 is for big boys, yeah...
Where are these being built? I think about all of them are made in Thailand. Are they being sent to the states as a kit for assembly?
Adam N The US version is built in Michigan, as per Dave’s intro.
Built in US or assembled in US! There too many outsourced parts to call it made in USA. That goes for most cars. At least Ford is keeping Americans employed, shame on GM!
Another comment that didn't age well. Rangers are the highest US parts content vehicle here in 21. Made from scratch in Wayne MI.
I Drive test on forza HORIZON 4 the ranger raptor
Wait till that turbo blows up then your fckd. I have a 1999 Ranger I bought new and I’m still driving it with over 200,000 miles on it but my next truck will be a Tundra unless ford sells the Ranger with the Diesel engine in it, they sell in it in South America
All diesels have a.......yes turbo.
Sexy looking truck.
Yeah right
Who in the hell still says, "..hi-ho silver, away.."? And please, shut the door while the truck is running. I hate that annoying door chime. Lol.
Just cause you don't get the joke makes it stupid?
My man John lookin orange
I am WAITING for a Ford Everest 4x4 in xl trim with rubber floors like my buddies Toyota FJ.
I have a feeling the everest is going to be the new bronco.
The new Bronco is supposed to be body on frame using the Ranger platform
@@Shakerhood69 you just described the everest.
@@thomaswalkerjr
Ford Brazil Troller.
You will like it.
the new ranger is better than the old ranger
That 2.3 liter four banger is rated to pull a 7500 lb trailer? Seems it would make more sense to get a low end F150. That turbo four cylinder is not going to last long if you work it like a truck.
Not enuff truck nor space nor payload nor mpg ...might as well get the F150 2.7 and get more of everything ...and better mpgs!
Test drove one and it’s really not bad at all. It drives like a small suv. Ride quality is not bad either. The Colorado seems bigger even though they are similar in size.
The first Ranger John is next to would be nice with a detuned version of the new 2.3, geared more towards 30 mpg. 220 hp would be fine. A daily driver that I can use for weekend projects or hauling furniture. The new Ranger is almost the size of an older F150...
Whatever happened to a road test? I would like to see 0 to 60 and quarter mile as well as slalom, moose test and braking. Does the truck flip over in a slalom test is that why we're not seeing it?
Have a 2021Ranger STX and I love it , smooth and very powerful, no problem merging onto the highway, this really goes.
Big shame they don't offer the 3.2L inline 5 turbodiesel which is available in Australia New Zealand.
2.3 is not a good motor, i did not hear what actual mpg you got in your testing.... Pictures and video of a truck and telling us what the government says is no actual review at all.
0:33 "Booming small truck sales..." Heh? Is he talking about used market? There are no new small trucks.
This is great! Hey MotorWeek! There's a dealership called DK Ford in Leduc that stuffed an early ecoboost into a Ranger. It's still there!
oh and the truck is too big and too close in price to base F150
Demand for the new Ranger is so strong that Ford is adding more employees and shifts to the factory to try and keep up with demand. The new Ranger is already a huge success.
Great truck and size. Not sure what’s the long-term durability of the turbo 4 tho. A base truck with V6 would be perfect.
I refuse to buy a 4cyl truck, especially a turbocharged one. That motor will wear out in no time. If they put a NA V6 in it I'd be interested. Also needs a manual transmission.
Saw an Ecoboost f150 with 210k miles on it and it was used for some towing... They aren't the best engines but they can be decent
@@W0RLDSSMALLESTVI0LIN I am 3 years into mine. When is it supposed to "wear out in no time". I drive it at elevation in Wyoming all the time and off road. Zero issues. My 2012 Tacoma had 3 warranty repairs before 36K. You are an idiot,
Ford Rangers are also available in Southeast Asia especially manafactured in Thailand.
I just test drove one and I loved it! I plan to buy one soon! I am not a fan of most new vehicles, but this truck fits me perfectly!
Looks like a Tundra
4:26 If I don’t know I would say that some serious engine is in it.
This thing is either under tired or over lifted but it looks goofy as hell. So much fender gap
They got it priced nice...
Really hurting on back passengers space
really isn't much difference between the f150 and this.
Seen a couple of these on the road already, they look about the same in person as in video
FORD....put the 2.3 eco and 10 sp in Transit
I heard a rumor that Ford was designing a smaller pickup for the U.S. market as well. Something for the people that want a PU truck, but also want to save on fuel.
Now, this, id buy for sure. No touchscreen, or any other this junk needed. Id be down for paying less than $15k for a new pickup.
That would be great if they do so, and keep it a simple regular old pickup truck without all the safety nannies, touch screen, and all that crap that nobody needs, and give us back our manual transmissions and at least a V6 and no turbo garbage to fail.
It's gonna be a unibody based on the new Focus platform, so it won't be as capable as the old Rangers but similar in size.
No TRUCK THIS SIZE SHOULD BE UNDER 300HP STANDARD/BASE MODEL. that incl: Tacoma, Frontier, Colorado, etc etc
NO TRUCK THIS SIZE SHOULD BE UNDER 300 FT LBS OF TORQUE IN ANY MODEL....well that would only be the ranger then.
The Jeep Gladiator has the highest towing capacity.
Black or chrome appearance package?
A Jeep Gladiator
Actual fuel milage is 20% less than advertised. I do not know how Ford keeps getting away with these claims with these Ecoboost turbo 4s.
Not sure where you got that because I am getting awesome mileage with mine. Right at the number listed. Next time to be more dramatic say like 40%. And a little more whining also would make you seem more like a victim.
The Pinto motor is back! It’s dejav
Put the 6.2 in it not the mazdaspeed3 engine.
The best thing to ever happen to the Mustang is the Camaro. Hopefully, same thing will happen between the Ranger and Colorado.
Chevrolet still sucks
no no Chevrolet does not suck; their team that does their marketing and decision making sucks.
omg! - what happened to Johns skin!?
Call dodge. Ford copied the dodge ram!
The sound mixing on this video is off.
I hope ford sells one with just two doors
oh phew it s John doing the review
Love the looked this new Ranger
hey...wheres the 0-60mph ect?
its a good looking truck i'm really liking the styling on this model
The good old ranger is back
The jeep Gladiator has more towing at 7650 lbs.
So does the Colorado/Canyon deisel
Wow is this ALLyou chevy or fiat fanboys can say against the Ranger? ha! They have to put stupid, complicated and expensive diesel engines in colorados and glads to get 100 to 150 lbs more towing than a gas Ranger. laughable.
I like this comeback!
40 grand for a Ranger, are you shittin me?!
This is a world where people will pay over 50K for a brand new Jeep Wrangler so don't be surprised.
....dejavu all over again.
You guys should look into the Ford Ecosport Storm, pretty nifty worldwide version the US market should get too
InsertFlashyName the only 'Storm' I recognize is a Geo. Your ecosport is a pile of shite.
The belt line is too high and I hate the looks of the rear end with the massive stamped Ranger in the tailgate that isn’t damped and slams down if you let it go. The truck looks too much like the global version.
Why a short bed ?((
I want it!
5’ bed... nah...
Poor fuel economy.
0:22 lol the Ford logo paint is gone. Built Ford Tough.
Sergiu Puscasu that truck is at least 10 years old. Pretty good when the only thing you can pick apart is a tiny emblem.
@@beefstew5608 salty Ford fan boy alert! It's not just Ford logos that are peeling their color off. That award also goes to GMC, Chevrolet, Alfa Romeo and BMW. Trust me, I lived in the Middle East, and there were A LOT OF Ford and GMC vehicles with colorless logos.
Also, that Ranger is 7 or 8 years old maximum. I would say that it was used as a work truck, but it looks pristine, so what could be the explanation for the colorless logo?
Built Ford Tough.
EXACTLY,@@beefstew5608!!!!!!! FFS, get some touch-up pant, & that emblem will be good as new, would ya please?!!!! That truck looks MINT, otherwise!!!!!
@@Hiluxtaco yeah but we're talking about the Ranger here, not other vehicles.
Ok then, state the other cars you've seen with chipped logos, apart from the ones I've mentioned.
Saab’s were notorious for this. Hardly see any with paint on the logo unless it was replaced...
I've heard it doesn't have a brake controller, which dented it's tow rating to 3000lbs. Is this accurate?
Having one or not, you can add aftermarket units. Ive got one and i just adjust the gain dial to make the brakes desirable
Dealer installed option.
This is the worst car channel on the web--all fake fake shill crap.
Why such crappy MPG?
Turbos. Anytime you turbocharge an engine your fuel economy goes to shit as soon as you mash that skinny pedal and the turbos are called for. Expect very dismal economy in the real world the way people drive and the higher speed limits people will quickly realize they're not that powerful when you drive them in a manner that doesn't call for turbo boost.
@@wildbill23c It sint the turbo. it is weight. And it does it damn good fuel milage as I have one and I live in WY. I am getting 5 MPG more than my 2012 Tacoma I sold to replace it. However no matter what a truck will never get great gas meltable because they are heavy. Hell this is basically the same size as an F-150 from 2000. People act like a kid size is some super small vehicle. It has a fully boxed frame and is a beast.
Awesome spec sheet reading motorweek...
It’s got too soft of a look. Just Like their escape.. not a fan.
I don’t like how you have to essentially disassemble the right wheel well to change its oil. I hope that changes later on.
Not defending them, because I agree it's dumb, but oil changes generally occur at tire rotation intervals, so at least you can knock out 2 things at once.
That was a Fake News story that was retracted a week later, Ford said you simply turn the steering wheel to the side to access it.
Shakerhood69 Thanks CNN... 😒
"Disassemble the right wheel" huh. Never been accused of being a car guy have you. First of all its the left side, and second all you have to do is turn the wheel and the filter is accessible behind a flap. No big deal.
Make John retire.
