    The Ford Ranger has a very strange history. It came orignially from the Edsel Ranger all the way back in the 50's, and then was a truck in the 80's to the 2000's. With the 2.3 liter Ecoboost, is this thing fun and a hoot or just a slow rebadged truck? Let's talk about it. Thanks for watching!

      The Bronco and the Tesla trucks (Yes, ford is looking to release a Bronco with a bed in a few years to take on the gladiator) will be some eye catching trucks coming out soon. Down south, unless someone does it up tacky they all blend together.

      Honestly here in Canada it makes no sense to get these small trucks. F150 has more capability and it's not that much larger, for similar prices. I got my used Ram Rebel for 33k CAD, V8 4x4 and some off-road goodies.

    I'm in Canada. I have 20,000 km on an FX4 Lariat. Love the truck. Faster than any other mid size pick-up and just as off-road capable as the benchmark Taco. The FX4 has crawl control and a locking rear diff. with a multi terrain management system. Highest towing capacity too. If you throw on a 5 Star tuner, they are faster 0-60 than a stock Raptor.

    Excellent review. Of course, I watched this AFTER I purchased my 2020 Ranger. I've had it for 2 weeks now, and I love it. I thought my '04 Ranger was great, but a year ago someone decided to run a red light and total it for me. I was leary about the i4 in the new Rangers, in all honesty. However, I am HIGHLY impressed with the results. I think Ford knocked it out if the park this time!

    Bought mine in that exact color and spec but with fx4 out the door for $33.5k having put 6816 miles on it in the last month I’ve got some pros and cons. Pros: good pickup and go, phenomenal off-roading, comfortable interior, pretty good gas mileage, beautiful taillights. Cons- I would spring for the leather if you plan on doing 3+ hours of driving. I have the premium seats and it gets uncomfortable after 3.5 hours driving. I don’t understand the 4 cylinder hate the v6 in the Tacoma straight up blowssss it’s under powered with no enjoyable driving experience. If you want a truck and used to cars this is the perfect vehicle. I went into this from an excursion and am still very happy with it. Overall I’d say with a redesign this truck could be a king in the world of midsize trucks. Overall 9.2/10

At first, I just wanted a plain truck. Glad this truck made me go into the contemporary truck age.

    ThatDudeinBlue, David, I completely agree with you.
    Like you I currently own a 2013 Mustang GT CA Special which I dearly love but I am moving to another state and starting a new biz and the Ranger is perfect for my needs.
    It is fast/quick, lots of tech, is very good looking IMO, is extremely comfortable to drive and can haul/tow a pretty heavy load if needed.
    I test drove all the rest. Did tons of research and decided on a silver Lariat supercab 2wd with 500a, nav package and tow package.
    You can't find one of these built like this anywhere. I was forced to order it.
    Ordered mine from the factory and with rebates, xplan and dealer incentives I'm looking at a tad over 32K tax and licence out the door.
    I'm super excited waiting for it to arrive but at the same time I am going to dearly miss my GT.
    BTW I love all your reviews. Keep up the good work!!!

    I've had my '19 Ranger XLT Supercab 4wd with 302A package for 6 months now. It's my 4th Ford truck. The other three were F150s. Traded in a 2013 F150 STX for this. That truck had the V8 engine but this Ranger is quicker and more responsive. The Ranger is by far my favorite of them all. There's nothing I dislike about it. Just did a 390 mile round trip with it mostly on two lane countryt roads and did over 26 mpg with it. It's really comfortable , handles well, rides solid and quite and has a ton of convenient features. I also don't have to circle parking lots looking for a wide enough space to fit in any more. Think of everything I've owned through the years this is my favorite, and I'm 71.

The US will not add things that cut into the F-150 sales. No diesel engine, no Raptor for now, no Wildtrax V6, which is available in other countries. The Ranger is always going to be Ford's entry level truck in the USA with cosmetic upgrades.

    “New” Ranger, even though it’s been out for years in other parts of the world

    Ford never stopped making the Ranger ! They just stop in north america. so its not a revival.
    But i do like them alot.

    The ecoboost is great for daily and a little towing, but I have a 90’ XLT Ranger with a 4.0 V6 and that needs to be an option in rangers today

    My 96 Mazda B2300 is all ford ranger with the exception of the sweet teal/turquoise paint.
