    The 2019 Ford Ranger is the revival of the Ford Ranger name. The Ford Ranger is back in the United States, and today I'm reviewing the 2019 Ford Ranger to show you if the new Ranger is good enough to square off against close pickup truck rivals.

      It’s because trucks aren’t actually about utility anymore. The majority of them are used as luxury vehicles, not as a work vehicles. A lot of the people I know who work in traditionally “truck friendly” jobs like handymen or construction workers use old Japanese trucks or compact SUVs. New American trucks are gigantic and usually saddled with BS luxury features, making them too expensive for the demographic that actually uses trucks for their intended purposes.

      It has great performance for a truck.
      The truck feels very fast.
      Unfortunately, acceleration in the Dougscore is measured globally, so of course a Compact truck can't compete with the Audi RS3, for example.

      Dougscore acceleration scoring is done the right way. It is vehicles vs vehicles. It makes no sense that a car with 8 point acceleration would be slower than a car with 4 point accelereration. 0-60 mph times are only thing that matters in acceleration.

    I own a 1995 Ford Ranger. I have owned it since 1998. It has the old 2.3 liter 4 cylinder engine with the 5 speed manual transmission, and 2 wheel drive. I still get about 27 miles per gallon around town or in the mountains, and 35 miles per gallon on highways. I keep up with regular maintenance, and have replaced some things like the brake lines and the radiator that have gone bad just because of age. It is completely reliable and serves me well. I really like it. I have looked at the new Ranger. It is much bigger now, and way more complicated electronics wise. It has a 10 speed automatic transmission, forsooth. an over complicated piece of crap just waiting to give you major problems. The same goes for the turbo charged engine, which they are pushing to the limit, and won't be nearly as reliable as the old version. I won't buy a new one. It is WAY too expensive, too much complicated crap to break, and they don't have the manual transmission any more. Where I live in the mountains of Tennessee, I won't own a vehicle without a manual transmission, which helps augment the braking going downhill.

Other than that nothing been replaced besides typical upkeep for 14 years. It has some squeaks and creaks but still drives great.
    This new Ranger isnt a compact, and the mileage is horrible. Was so excited when I heard there was a new one coming out and I can retire my 2005 and get a new truck that would replace it, not going to happen with this thing. Sometimes we just need a truck to haul stuff in the bed and get descent mileage for daily driving, dont think anything like that on the market anymore, maybe never will be again.

So say what you want about price, but you're going to pay the same no matter which one you buy. as for "f150 territory" again, go shopping... fully loaded f150 lariet is going to cost you around $65k and up... if you get just the xlt f150 4x4, you are at 50k... ranger xlt 4x4... 35k... do a little research... thats the msrp pricing... look it up.

As an American, that likes pickups, What is the deal with American pickups getting larger and larger?! This "ranger" is almost as big as an F150 ten years ago. I'll stick with my 20 year old beater Ranger, at least it is sized appropriately for a *small* truck. (You are not suppose to need a step ladder to get into the bed of a small pickup.)

It was a cute little death box. All the same I do still love those old rangers & see a lot of them on the road today. But Ford had to give the ranger more rigidity & ability to absorb more collision inertia in order to meet today's market regulations. Not to mention the door dinger that everyone must love so much because it is standard in every ford since like 2014.

For example, you buy a fridge or a dishwasher, it goes in the bed. Yard waste goes in the bed. The truck goes easily into partially unplowed parking spots. I don't think you'd have an easy time finding a person with a truck who has owned it for a full 5 years, the average duration of a loan, who would say they've driven it strictly as a commuter vehicle or Sunday driver and never used any truck features.
