  • The 2020 Ford Ranger comes without much changes from it's 2019 model but it can now be had with the FX2 package for 2wd models. Overall, the Ranger is a strong competitor in this class and offers a lot of versatility for a midsize truck. This Ranger XLT is a mid level trim without a ton of options to make this one of the better value and more affordable 2020 Ford Ranger models.

    9,555 miles on my Ranger, and I love the truck. I’m seeing lots of ‘back in my day’ comments about the older Rangers, and yes we all know the Ranger’s legacy; the 2019-2020 model is no exception. It’s a good truck, and I have no doubt that it will serve my family well for many years; much like my 2001 Ranger did!

    I've had 2 Rangers from the past. One I had for 11 years...and the next one 12 years. I hope these stack up. My other 2 Rangers were standard transmission, but I was diagnosed with MS in 2009 so it's gotta be an automatic for me for now on. I always loved the Ranger because it got me what I needed. I never towed anything, but could throw something in the back without having to worry about having something delivered.

I had a 2005 Ranger before this new one and there is absolutely no comparison. Watch out Toyota, GMC, Nissan and Chevy. This Ranger is at the right price, has the right features AND turns heads. Feels like FORD finally listened to it's customers and got things right.

    I had a 1995 Ranger, I bought it in 2006, for $3200. It had 79K miles then...
    4cyl., automatic, 2 seat cab, 7 ft. bed, standard 2 wheel drive on the real axle. It did have a ball hitch on the bumper.
    I ran the truck nearly every day, and it had nearly 300K in 2018, when I sold the truckfor $500!
    It was still strong running, didn't smoke or have any odd noises coming from under the hood!
    But I was putting a 100 miles a day on the truck, in my work commute. I knew I needed something newer for that trek. I got a 2011 Escape, 2.5 4 cyl. Automatic with standard 2 wheel drive. "Keep it simple!"
    I still see it go by the house from time to time. They had even installed wood racks!
    The engine was originally built by Mazda! The only real downside I found was having to replace the timing belt. It never went the same way twice!
    Sure there were smaller issues. But what vehicle does not have them?

    Like my ranger still putting it together though still don't think people are crazy when they say the truck is sloppy and bad brakes. Here's a tip factory tires are cheap change them to good ones sloppiness goes away and the braking is better as for fuel mileage, I got 1500 miles on my ranger and 26 mpg. Here is a tip stop going 80 mph and drive it easy and you will get good fuel mileage. Last week I got 30 out of it so a tip don't go over 60. Slow down or leave earlier so you have time.

I also have that slight dash vibration(comes and goes) and one complaint.

The transmission definitely does not behave the same, especially in sport mode. Both are good. All vehicles have issues, and Ford has been using turbos for some time, so they're pretty robust. BTW I drive a lot, has 52000kms on my Mustang, and its worst thimg was the rear brakes, which were ready for the third set. The solid rear rotors seemingly a general Ford issue.

Space wise there's little difference in room between a F150 extended cab and the crew cab ranger in the back seat. I am just wondering where the value is with this. Then I am 6'5.

    Yes, please show the lariat, my wife wants to trade our 2018 f-150 coyote in for one because it’s quite long to park but I can’t see letting it go. I did drive a couple 2019s and not impressed with the small writing on the control buttons and not really fond of all the plumbing for the turbos.
    The price seems quite high for what you get as it is quite smaller than I’m used to. Maybe we’ll just look at an Edge for her or even an Escape. Anyways I still got my TJ Jeep for myself and let her make the decision on her own wheels.

It's also a lot bigger and has a lot more "bells and whistles" than the 2011. I see very little difference between the 2019 and the 2020. All in all, I really like my 2019 Ranger.

      With Ridgeline, Only problem is FWD is 3500 tow cap and you need AWD to get to max tow cap of 5000. It’s tough to get a fair comparison with features and tow capacity vs price.

      FWD is fine if you don’t live in the snow belt or only tow light stuff.This vehicle has no serious off road abilities, it wasn’t engineered for that.For anyone to suggest that it does, misses the whole point of why this vehicle was made.Most people will be quite content with its capabilities.

    I too see a lot of sticker shock in the posts. To be fair, the price is a bit breathtaking to those who purchased Rangers in the past. (I owned two and paid less than 20k for each of them.) But the new Ranger is an evolution in size and capabilities compared to past holders of the name. The "fit and finish" of my 2020 is vastly superior to that of my 2004 Edge and 2011 XLT. My Sport came with fabric upholstery, which I paid my dealer to replace with leather, which in my opinion is an improvement (I hate fabric upholstery.) You can hear and feel the difference by simply closing a door. Both of my earlier Rangers had issues of wind noise through the passenger doors (leaking though the side mirrors (or so the dealership service techs said.) My new Ranger drives as though it has a larger engine than the 4 liter six in my 2011 XLT. The new 10 speed transmission is exceptional. Sure, they cost more, but the extra cost is worth it.

      Funny you would say that. Why? In other markets where Ford sells pretty much the same basic Ranger the engine choices are 3.2 liter 5 cylinder turbo diesel which is being phased out for a 2 liter turbo diesel. The 4 cylinder, in road tests, outperforms the 5 cylinder, and sometimes by a noticeable margin.
      My point being that Ford has a pretty good handle on making small engines work. Reliability down the road? I think I would continue to avoid a turbocharged engine for as long as possible so I would be inclined to go with a F150 with a NON-turbo V6.

    I went and test drove a 2021 XLT today. Unless you’re going with the tremor package,which will set you back almost 50k, it’s a pretty basic work truck experience. It’s fun and zippy to drive, but the handling and breaking is a little loose and mushy. For me the XLT lacks too much for the 36k price(AWD/4WD electric seats etc) and the interior build isn’t all that impressive. A lot of plastic. Should be priced a lot lower than the MSRP. Not bad for a basic work truck at the lowest trim level, but if you’re going to go up to lariat/tremor trim levels you’re better off going with the Tacoma the price isn’t that much different.

      Some of us don't care that the 4cy has more power, fuel efficiency, etc. What some of us want is reliability and longevity. As someone who does main and light repair at a Ford dealer I can tell you Ford's naturally aspirated engines are very good. Their ecoboosts can get the job done but reliability is a question. Anyone who wants to comfortably get over 100K ought not to get a turboed vehicle. The more tech and complexity the more problems, higher cost, and less reliability. Ford makes great NA v6's. They are not the most powerful, fuel efficient, etc, but they do last and get you on your way. As someone who has a 2000 3.0 V6 Ranger (240k) and has driven the new Ranger at work and as a rental for a week I can tell you the new Ranger certainly is more powerful, but there is more confidence in my 3.0 V6. You can feel it. A turboed 4cy has more stress on it and despite how the 4cy in the 2019 has more power, the engine feels overworked and you can tell that you are driving a 4cy. I really like the 2019-20 Ranger but dislike the powertrain. That 10 speed is indecisive as well and is having issues due to how complex it is and how close the metal parts are to actually touching each other so if you have a 2019 Ranger, I would suggest getting the trans serviced every 50k or earlier. Ford's intervals are BS designed to make the cost of ownership look lower than it actually is and is designed to make it past the warranty time so it breaks afterwards so you have to buy another vehicle. One of the best powertrain options you can get is in the base model F150. That reliable 3.3l V6 is great paired with the old and reliable 6 speed auto. I would buy a new Ranger in a heartbeat if they put that set up in the new Ranger.
