I just purchased a 21 Tremor and I am very impressed with the the power train. Was next to a 21 taco the other day waiting for the light to change and enter the freeway. I guess the guy wanted to race as he kept gunning his engine while looking in my direction. Well it was very early with no traffic and a long on ramp so I dropped it down to sport mode and basically smoked him like a cheap cigar lol. Kinda felt like a rebel for a second. Great job Ford!
Good luck racing your way up to 100k miles. That Tacoma will smoke you like a Pack of weed.
I have a 21 Tremor also. And it's performance off road is literally amazing. TOYota needs to go eat some rice and shutup.
@DonVerchi700as 2019 ford ranger - 108k Miles with no issues....
Cool flex though I guess.....
Pack of weed? Lolololol

I really like the under hood tour.
Great review Sam, this truck is top of my radar for my next vehicle..........Cheers .......Steve
I have a 21 Tremor now for about a year. LOVE IT!
Outstanding. Ty.
I am 2 years and 70,000 kms into my '21 Ranger, and here's the warranty list so far- faulty passenger door seal- 0 kms. Fuel pump and sender fail at 9500 kms. Rear axle seals (both) fail at 12,500 kms. Headlight lamp- 17,000 kms. Front ABS sensors and wiring harness (both) fail- 22,000 kms. SYNC system processor fail - 40,000 kms. And now, at 70,000 kms the transmission is being rebuilt because of erratic and inconsistent shifting. This truck is a lemon, and the best Ford Canada will do for me is extend my powertrain warranty by 1 year (but no extra kms). Once it's fixed, I'm trading the bastard in on a Nissan.
I have 78,000kms on my 2020 ranger and have had literal zero issues. sorry for your tough luck.
Nissan 🤡
Yuck not a nissan!
Lies
The American spec Ranger is pretty solid. I've had mine for over 50,000 miles and have had no issue so far. Unfortunately the Aussies don't get the 2.3 EcoBoost you guys are missing out
I can't wait to buy one of these for cheap after they have been put through work so I can build the drivetrain to be a beast.
Ford did it right with the 2.3 ecoboost and 10 speed tranny. Great drive train indeed.
You got anymore videos on the ranger
When I get my Bronco I'm planning on the 2.3l. I don't see much advantage to the 2.7 other than edge on acceleration. Testing driving the 2.3 Bronco it's more punchy than my V6 Tacoma.
So for the first time my 2021 Ranger XLT went into reduced power mode(only have 68000kms on it), the dealership now tells me that the Ranger is experiencing problems with moisture in the intake manifold and will have to be replaced as well as the inlet tube and possible throttle body . Their parking lot is now starting a collection of Rangers that don't like the cold ( I live in Canada where it will hit -46c)
Update on my truck- they got the parts in and will be replacing everything I mentioned on Tuesday.
@@careylee5951 Hows it running now?
@@careylee5951 running tip top?
Thanks. I'm wondering how this compares to the system used in the GM 2.7. Which has more tech in it?
Essentially the same engine here: ruclips.net/video/lCFq9renjfQ/видео.html
@@TDTVGarage Thank you.
Watch your coolant closely only a matter of time before the head gasket blows just out of warranty if you see that your coolant has dropped at all take it in immediately as it will start slow and be hardly noticeable until it just gives
How reliable would you say this engine is? I'm coming from a Tacoma but am very interested in the 2.3 in the new Broncos.

Ive had mine for 2 years and there has been 0 issues.
Not sure if you got one, I’m about to drive one for a while, but a 4cylinder turbo pushing a 6k lb vehicle doesn’t sound like it’s going to last that long.
@@TDTVGarage ugh, this website isn't helpful at all.
@@Pez.dem11397 4,441 lbs
I have a 2020 Ranger and for a 4 cylinder has great power with the turbo boost. My upgrade from a sport trac. How often does the turbo charge filter need to be changed? Also cabin filter?
I also got Ranger do u put 87 gas or 91 ?
@@FlyLopez1991 I been sticking with regular 87. Only saw that when I was outside NY. Don’t think it’s available here. But when I first got the truck I was putting super in as prices weren’t as bad as today..(thanks Joe) so been using the 87 for a while now.
@@mercyfaten01 thanks I do 91 but gas prices is crazy I will go with 87 as in the book it says u can use 87 also
@@mercyfaten01 I put 87 this one time and I am going back to 91 I can feel the difference in everything man it’s insane
@@FlyLopez1991 really? It’s not that much higher than 87 but that’s cool. If I come around it again in my travels. There used to be a station near me that had racing gas. Was like 98. Now that you can feel the power. To9 bad it’s not around any more. I used to put that in my Chevelle and burn rubber like mad.
I just purchased this truck (2021) and I'm trying find out more about this engine and how it works. Would you suggest a aftermarket BOV?
I installed a Boomba Racing unit, sounds and works great.
Do these 2.3 engines use an electrical or mechanical water pump?
Mechanical
I’m at 75k miles ford ranger 2022 no issues just oil change transfer oil change
Dual overhead cam on a 4cylinder?
Most modern 4 cylinders are DOHC these days..
Uh yeah. What modern 4 cylinder doesn't besides Fiat?
@@MrCherrygrovedude oh I'm sorry I guess I should have known that.
Fords been doing that for over 20 years in the I-4.
All this complex ecoboost....with problems...and i own a 1.5...i pay extra for say a 3.3 v6 non turbo and direct injection....even with less power...dont need power...need realibity....btw...does is have rubber timing belt or metal chain and if so replacement intervals?
I don't know where you're at but the American spec Ranger with a 2.3 EcoBoost and 10 speed is pretty solid. I have over 50,000 miles on my 2021 model absolutely no issues right now. Taking it on some pretty hardcore off-road trails and I've towed very heavy with it
@@Dobbs6651 I got a 1'5 Ecoboost in 2017 escape classe action lawsuit with block and heads common problems Google it
@@Dobbs6651 50,000 not many miles....i have a 2017 Ford escape 1.5 Ecoboost...think same engine family as 2.3....issues galore...one is block and head....that leaks antifreeze in oil...ruins engine...class action lawsuit on that one...google it....i like simple engines...like the old 3.0 pushrod Vulcan....i owned three all over 175,000 plus one has 269,000....no rubber timing belt to worry with....simple reliablie engine....i pay extra lot extra if they still made it ...
Need to know about the high pressure fuel rail fail that will rattle and drive you crazy.
New RANGER 2022 STX experiencing loud noise @ 1400 miles. Reading forums looks like fuel rail/ injector related. Never would have considered this purchase If this sound was heard during test driving.
@@notimetofakeit completely agree... I stopped mid vacation for an emergency oil change because I was worried about my valves not getting proper lubrication.
Sounds like a 90s chevy without oil.
That and the terrible low speed chug... will never purchase another 10 speed.
@@fasfgasdfagadsf mine is 2021 STX SAME PROBLEM
Sat on a 2019 with a check engine light already. Couldn't believe it. Definitely more comfortable than a taco but not as durable it seems like
lol, a check engine light can be tripped by the most simplest thing and has nothing to do with durability.....Thanks for the laugh tho...
@@MuhName Yep, typical Jap lover. "jap cars never break" , yeah right.
You’re wrong about oil filter location
How so?
@@TDTVGarage driver side, behind the tire.....
@@TDTVGarage I agree with m9; It's not really under the vehicle. When you said that I shook my head too. It's accessed from the side.
Semantics. Our point when we say it accessed from underneath means it's not accessible from above. Whether you have to go through the wheel well or from underneath, it's not accessible from the top of the engine compartment as you stand and look down as some vehicles have when the filter is at the top of th engine. That's the point.
@@TDTVGarage Some people have a hard time admitting when their wrong. LOL
Sealed transmission? No thanks.
You're welcome!
They'd have better luck selling these if they had an electric engine! There's so much crap in the engine compartment that it's hard to say which component will go bad first! Since most of the parts are outsourced to other country's there's going to be no quality in the manufacturing of the part's!!
How about talking about reliability issues with this engine instead of reading material from ford. This was a pretty much a waste of time.
We don't recall the title of the video being called "Negative Bitchy Hit Piece On Ford Products". We think it was called "Engine Explained". Maybe you should be watching Fox News.
At my work we got a 2022 ford ranger 40k miles on it an it idles 24 hours a day I’m surprised it runs great with all that idling they hardly change the oil on it I wonder how much longer it will last but I wanna buy one
You lost me when you said "sealed transmission" , you lost any credibility you had when you said that ... Anyone with any legit automotive knowledge knows there is no such thing as a sealed transmission regardless of any make.. That's just a term manufacturers use to make you think that you don't have to spend extra money on maintenance.... In reality you really do if you want your vehicle to last more than 100.000 miles
Point of term "sealed transmission" in our context is to convey there is no dipstick for the average customer to check fluid or top it off as in the old days of cars. Indeed, manufacturers don't want customers monkeying around with fluids in automatic transmissions as 98% will screw them up by over/under filling and/or with the incorrect fluid - and cost the manufacturer warranty claims. That is why they are "sealed".
It's a little screw cap on top of the transmission tray where the long dipstic used to go. Replaced and looks like a small engine dipstick.
