Wish they would’ve given us a king cab option like frontier and Toyota not everyone needs a crew cab and certainly not a 5’ bed some people want at least a 6’ bed
I agree, just a little space behind the seats for a couple of suitcases is plenty.
@@1kukini and a bench seat with column shift so that if you had to get a third (smallish) person in a crunch you could do so.
They are selling what sold the most. Over 75% were sold that way so it makes sense to do that.
Agreed. They have payload and towing and seats and other features for work but forgot the 6ft bed? They seem confused on who they are selling to. Daily driver/recreational truck=GM & Toyota. Work orientated=Nissan & Toyota 6ft. beds but the nod to the Nissan with the simpler engine.
Your exactly right. As a tradesman,I opted for the frontier because I need 6’ bed. The last thing I need is a backseat which I find totally ridiculous.
That 2.7 in the Ranger will turn that thing into an absolute rocket. Crazy power to weight.
Yeah well they also are putting a 3.0 twin turbo in it
@@All-Miles-Matterbut that’s with the raptor edition though 2.7 as a choice then a basic tune with that engine it’s going to be overpowered
@@thejavierpa awesome!
@@All-Miles-Matterthe 3.0 though hasn’t been as reliable. The 2.7 is an awesome engine. It should be the standard engine for the Ranger IMO
I can't believe the new ranger doesn't have rear vents. Crazy!! Fire the accountant who told the engineers to remove them.
100%. I'd also like to see a split rear seat bottom so you can have a passenger and use of the floor space next to them. We often use our F-150 this way.
I like how we call mid-size trucks "little trucks." I pull up to an older Chevy 1500, or Ford F150 in my 2022 Frontier, and they're basically the same size. People be commuting to their office jobs and the grocery store in massive heavy duty trucks nowadays.
haha Ikr, It's crazy! I was thinking the same thing about the size. I had a 2003 silverado, and I got into the Colorado zr2, and it felt like the same size 😂
Dude you’re telling me?!? I use my Mazda 3 hatchback more for the outdoors the 99.8% off pickup truck owners driving these absolutely massive trucks. Tbh it’s a little embarrassing as my first truck was my grandfathers 98 little ranger.
There's still a pretty noticable difference between the two separated by 23 years.

@@AK_Rayhey man you’re not supposed to bring up dimensions and specs dude! Just say the trucks big!
The Ranger is now a baby F-150. GM and Food are 2 strong choices in the midsize segment. Great review Steeve 🎉🎉🎉.
Now I am hungry
Love the rear locker availability and wider bed. My biggest gripe is the solid rear bench. I love the split back seats on my taco.
I'll admit the Ranger is the most capable mid size. After seeing Toyota's latest effort this is best in class. I owned a 2014 Ranger overseas and really liked it. Its not so cramped inside like most mid sizes. It the goldy locks of mid size trucks.
Ranger is getting capable enough that they should put a 75” bed on it and call it an F-100.
And it becomes the f150 super cab and about the same price minus the room 😂.
@@robertopics It might not make sense to you, but some of us prefer the driving characteristic of the mid-size segment.
@@robertopics In Canada my fully loaded Ranger is $55 000 all in - my friends fully loaded f150 was $81000 - so not even close in price
Loving the refresh design and simplification of offerings. I think it is a fanatic change all the way around.
We, the consumer, have to stop buying vehicles at these ridiculous prices!!! They keep going up in price because we keep giving them money. They’re laughing all the way to the bank.
Love the new ranger, but I wish they would've offered the Bronco's 7 speed manual
I would drive manuals in the 90's because they were far superior to the autos of the time. But now, I don't see the point of a manual. The Autos have better fuel economy and usually have some sort of selecting a gear. They are also programmed great. I see these comments and don't understand why anyone would ask for this on a modern truck. Manufacturers are not going to add them if it makes up 10% of sales.
I wished they'd put them in the f150s too. I'd much rather replace a clutch over a transmission any day..
Isn’t Toyota offering a 6 speed in the 24?taco? I prefer manual myself. You can put it in the right gear instead of a sluggish slow automatic when you really need it for the fellow saying no need for manuals in new modern trucks, boy people talk before they think…lol
Modern Automatics are not sluggish. In fact, you cannot shift as fast as a modern auto. It is just not worth it any more.
No thanks. I love my weekend Sports cars to be manual, but not my DD truck.
Congrats! This is one of the best reviews I've watched yet. You covered more pertinent info than many of the other reviews including TFL, (sorry Andre).
Thanks TruckKing! I really enjoyed the video and I love the truck. I personally would go with a 2.7 V6 in the XLT trim with the FX4 package. I cant wait to see your off road videos in this.
Great review! Always enjoy your content.
I think society needs to get away from the throwaway and upgrade regularly mindset.
A carryover engine is not a big deal. I'd rather have them support an engine for 20 years making small improvements over time, only making reliability better. (King quad, brute force, grizzly 🤔)
Sadly people think old is boring and bad.
And I get it, they want to make people want new. But the industry has a normal cycle. Rich get new every 2/3 years, middle gets mildly used and own for 5+ years. Poor pick up what works.
And the whole income span gets something.
It's 100% about making EPA and other government regulations.
Be cool if the shifter was on the column to free up that space on the console for cubby storage. My 17 F150 has a column shifter and I much prefer it.
NOOOOOO!!!! I HATE column shifters. Only bare bones vinyl seat and floored work trucks have column shifters.
Thanks for the trailer app and assist demo; appreciated.
Excellent review and episode as always!!! 😁
Great review Steve.
I like the new look and glad it has a little more room in the back seat. I wished they would offer two tone colors on the exterior.
Awesome review man. You covered alot of stuff that other reviewers don't cover!
Glad it was helpful!
Nice. I pickup my 2024 Ford Ranger XLT, 3 litre V6, 4 wheel drive in acouple weeks. Rangers in Australia have a different design. Free tub liner, side step on the tub. Keyless start. Towbar, Side steps. Rubber floor mats. 360 lights and camera.
Great review as always. I was hoping to get one of these when I was looking to replace my old truck last year... but the delays in getting it to the US market were too much for me. That blue XLT you were driving was basically exactly how I would have spec'd mine. I really like what Ford has done to it. I just wish they would have hurried up a little lol.
Steven, GREAT Review ! Iv been waiting for it ...I have the new Ranger on the way... Looking very forward to it !
Nice ride!!
XL trim all the way. I'm definitely a fan of the vinyl floor, standard features, and rear legroom of the new Ranger. My family wouldn't need any more than that.
Hello do you know if Base truck can have a trailer backup assist feature added?
Good video, thanks. Is the interior wider, or feel wider, than the previous generation?
Great review, thanks.
Does any package have heated and cooled seat? enfinces on “cooled”
Very cool little truck.
Ford did the 1 thing it said it would never do. They gave up on the full size bumper and appeared to use plastic like others. Looks rather nice and looking forward to actually seeing them in person and especially the Raptor version with the bigger ECO boost !
Nice job, man
If I were to trade up to the new Ranger my pick would be the XLT model, with the new 2.7 V6, tow package, FX4 package, and heated seats, block heater. Living in a northern state these are essentials IMO.
Great review, I like this truck and hope that next year they bring out a hybrid version with more power in the back for camping and better fuel economy
How is the brake pedal feel? Is it still mushy like previous generation?
Nice spot to do your intro 🔥
@truck king, so the new 2.7l motor is for this summer, does it mean i can order now or it means this summer i an order it then?
I like that base model. They seem to give you a lot of features. I'm curious how much of a difference there is between the LED reflectors on the base model there, and the LED projectors on the Lariat.
i dream of the day i buy this truck with thhe 2.7... Im saving and waiting... HURRY UP FORD!!
If the 2.3 is a mechanical carry-over, does the tuner from ford still work on it? 2.3 with 310/370 vs a 2.7 with 325/400 seems like a marginal improvement.
Best flavor of the week
Will they come out with a Tremor trim?
If they do, I’ll get it with the 2.7 ecoboost.
Would love to see that generation of ranger with the 5.0 coyote motor as a factory option. Since you know that somebody will offer a swap over implant kit for it eventually and I think it would be right at home in that little truck.
Thanks Steve... Great review! From this review Ford looks like they did a good job and that's coming from a GM guy.
You get a ruler on the tailgate?!!! Well I was on the fence, but not anymore 🤣🤣🤣
I was seriously thinking about getting one but then I found out that they do not have Auto 4wd like my Colorado. Just 2wd n 4wd hi n lo
Wet asphalt is super slick plus driving on patchy ice n snow
The True 4wd system is actually better. Auto 4wd has a clutch in the transfer case that can fail. Also, the oil for an Auto transfer case is crazy expensive.
@@GYPSY400 but on on patchy slick roads where you cannot run true 4wd as you will tear up diffs u-joints and transfer cases. The Colorado and Canyons transfer case which has 4wd-auto 4hi and 4lo takes 2 quarts of sexton vi. $7 a quart
Looks like a winner
Accoustic side glass? Is it laminated?
what's the fuel capacity, my 2019 only has a range of like 350 miles when topped off? tank should be bigger
52k for a ranger is insane. No way
Not that it should cost this. But when am equilavent f-150 to that lariat Ranger is 75kish it kinda makes sense. It’s all priced 10-15k too high. But price wise it lives up.
Ford made sure to give the Ranger a high payload rating because in some markets like the UK, if a pickup has a certain amount of payload, it's classified as a commercial vehicle, which are less expensive to register and Ford made sure the Ranger satisfied that criteria.
You guys miss out on the 3L V6 Diesel we get in Australia. Its a pretty good tow vehicle with that engine. We get no Petrol engine options in Australia
The SecuriCode Keyless-Entry Keypad is a $95 option on all trim levels.
Ford has always done a good job with the Ranger. Currently on my 4th new Ranger (1988, 2001, 2006 and 2019). Excellent experiences with every one. I like the 2024 update, but my 2019 Lariat isn't going anywhere. The optional Ford Performance Tune is a definite Plus. Want a powered, inbuilt moonroof? There are 2 aftermarket units available. My Lariat has the Signature unit. What would it take to put me into a 6g Ranger? A Coyote V8 motor of course!
Strange to remove the spot mirrors as I really like how ford did them but I guess blind spot monitoring probably takes care of that
I bought a Black XLT about a month ago put a deposit down and waiting for it to be started made at the factor just for me. It’s going to be a while for them to be produced because they had a strike
Hey Steven, great video as always. One correction. You no longer have to take and input any measurements when you set up pro trailer backup assist. Just set the sticker down, the truck uses AI to figure out the rest. And while I'm at it GM towing stickers are no longer VIN specific they have not been for over a year now.
Thanks. I asked a Ford rep about Pro Trailer system setup for Ranger and was told you still needed to input the measurements. No excuse though, I should have verified. It's now a simple calibration procedure done by executing some tight turns.
As for the GM towing information sticker, it still states the VIN on it for 2024 models (I checked our 24' 3500 HD and a 23' GMC Sierra) and the payload perfectly matches what is on the door jamb sticker. So I'm not sure what you mean on that one.
@@TruckKing Thanks for the reply. I could be totally wrong about GM. I've been watching a bunch of videos about GM trucks over the last year and I've seen it (Andre) repeatedly said that GM have changed the towing sticker from being VIN specific to now state the max that the trim level can tow. The individual now has to work out their specific truck max towing.
@@TruckKing Maybe that’s the dealer installed accessories and/or AEV packages?
Those grey panels from the sport appearance package do wonders for the front end, it just doesn't look right to me with one color over the whole front. I wish it still had a real steel front bumper like the previous one, though, the ones on my previous gen have saved my truck not once but twice when people hit my parked truck.
I'll be interested to drive one of these new ones and see how the ride compares to my 2020 on Blistein 5100s, which were a huge upgrade and transformed the truck IMO, especially for towing.
One thing that bugs me is seeing that those huge running boards are stock on the FX4. Even with a bit of front lift from the Bilsteins and slightly oversized tires, nobody's ever had an issue getting into my truck, not even my 5'7" 77 year old dad or a 5'1" female friend who's been in my truck a bunch, and those steps are just gonna get in the way off road.
Thanks so much for the video. That XL side mirror should be an option for all trim levels. It is so much more practical. I was expecting to see at least a little offroading?
Plenty of off-roading coming in a couple days with our complete Ford Ranger Raptor review. And then of course when we can get one on home soil, we'll be sure to get it muddy.
@@TruckKing I have a question. I’m 6’2 and I’m weighing in at a measly 265. We are relatively close in size. Were you able to get in and out the drivers seat easily, and what was your overall comfort and fit in the truck? FYI: I am getting a Raptor version that is built and waiting on shipping. I’m a little concerned about how I’ll fit in this truck
He seamed to have answered that in the video..@@RRAPTOR24
@@michygeorg thanks for your input. But I asked for more detail. He briefly mentioned his size and weight. But I was personally asking for more details. Thanks again
I’ll wait for the creators response
@@TruckKing Thanks for the reply. I have to say that Ford is letting the public down by only showcasing the Raptor offroad. I feel like there is a serious lack of hype for the non Raptor models of this truck.
Ford said they’re listening to their customers and still put a 100/0 rear seat…..
Way better looking than the last cat fish looking one
I do like the blue paint.
I agree with the big man. 4000lb TT for a smaller truck. 7500lb TT for a 1/2 ton.
With Ford's recent quality wors, I trust this truck will be a first-year nightmare.
I like it. 2.7 range sounds like a good idea.
If Ford offer the 7 speed manual in the Ranger like they do in the Bronco I would have bought one. Ended up with a 2024 Taco 6 speed and driving is enjoyable again.
40k for a base package truck is insane
Agreed
Facts
Ooh that’s the old style gear stick. The new one here in aus has the stubby one people complain about
I'd buy one if they were reasonably priced
3.0 V6 diesel is my daily ute. smooth as
It’s a good looking mid sizer. I think all the manufacturers need to make a midsize full frame SUV! I would buy it as soon as they have one!
A WDH would help tremendously on the feeling of that trailer he is towing, ford recommends using one over 5000 lb anyway
Ford should have put the built-in bed steps on their base trucks too.
Will come back when the v6 review drops
I love this truck. However I would not tow a 5,000lb camper, 3,500 max
Im really curious about the bed being wide enough to haul 4x8 materials without having to stack 2x4s in little slots. I really hope you RUclips guys perform a proper comparison between them all.
44.8 inches between wheel wells. I don’t think any midsize will fit plywood flat, it would compete with full size
Was hoping for less tech in the base model, also needs to be available with a longer box option.
If we can get heated seats in the lower end truck I’m sold, I’m poor with a bad back
It's the tiny fuel tank that made me get rid of my 2021 Ranger. I upgraded to a 2022 2.7 with 36 gallon tank. It's been amazing towing our 6X12 tandem axle utv. It's around 4600 lbs. The towing range with a Rangers 18.8 gallon tank was just plain ridiculous
Yeah that’s a really good point I hadn’t considered! Rats…
Not including a basic cab option is a miss for fleet sales and those of us who would like more bed space and don’t need to put a family in the back seat.
Does Ford offer a headlight switch, unlike the GM twins
So overflippin blown. Who cares about a stupid mechanical headlight switch when the vehicle has auto headlights on/off? You'll NEVER, EVER have to manually turn on your headlights.
Too damn expensive still. Great review, the base model looks fully featured.
I've read about a few issues with Ford's current 10 speed transmission. What are your thoughts on their 10 speed transmission? Thanks!
It’s been very successful in Australia and is the not only the best selling pickup but car as well.
What's the payload on that pretty Lariat with the off-white leather interior? Still over 1500 lbs?
And no HVAC ducts in the back of the center console for the rear seat occupants?! 😞
Yes I think it was 1551 on the tfl video I watched. Way better than the sr5 at 1200 lbs
Id be fine w the STX. The 10 inch screen looks great. Now as long as the dealerships dont mark up the truck $10k because of BS reasons I might trade in my bighorn.
Only buy if you get a minimum of 2-3k off MSRP + tax, w/no other fee's. If they refuse, tell them to POUND SAND, and walk TFO of the Stealership. This is the ONLY way to stop this madness.
Getting more for less? So this truck is less than last year's model? Or is it like the F-150, paying more for features that were added to lower trim levels?
Please note the Ranger is the ONLY Midsize Truck with Amber Turn Lamps on the Tail Lights ….thats important to me and not one review yet has mentioned it….
Is there any word on Ram building a midsize?
We have these at an airport i work at. They are the same size as our early 2000s gmc 2500 single cab without any of the utility. The bed is too small to fit anything longer the cabin is tight af for 2 men and their winter coats and gear in the backseat. The funniest part is the gas mileage is on par with our full sized f350 4 door 8' reading beds with cranes and lift gates. We idol alot and routinely i get into rangers with 6-8 mpg averages. Just get the 5.0 f150.
Not all of us work at the airport. Most of us just go to the grocery store with our kids.
No
So get what we don't want? It needs to fit in a garage. This does. Should someone getting a Porsche also get an F-150? I mean the F-150 is bigger than the Porsche. F-350 is bigger. Should everyone get that?
Thanks for the real world feedback ,you summed up my opinion exactly
Well they aren't making full size trucks that size anymore, but I agree. I did some comparisons a few years ago and the previous gen Colorado crew cab with a 6' bed was longer than a 2004 gen F-150 crew cab while having a lot less cargo and passenger volume, not to mention towing and hauling.
Best selling pickup and car in Australia.
Why aren't any RUclipsrs reviewing the '24 compact/midsized Ram truck?
I don’t think there out yet are they?
Ram hasn’t built them yet
Lot's of bean counter cost cutting, no rear vents or 3 zone temp control, cheap bench rear seat with no split for storage with a passenger, would be a perfect platform for the flat floor and split fold like an f150, the off the shelf tailgate assist, some cheap looking plastics on the interior especially the center console area and knobs, no convex mirror because you can't have it with bliss? Just not as nice as I had hoped for, especially for over 50k on the lariat.
For the third year running, Ford has issued more recalls in a calendar year than any other US automaker. As reported by Automotive News, partial NHTSA data reveals that Ford issued 54 recalls in 2023, affecting almost 5.7 million vehicles. This represents a 21% decrease from last year. In 2022, Ford issued 65 recalls affecting over 8.6 million vehicles, so things are certainly improving.
I give any manufacturer the opportunity to fix their problems rather than sweeping them under the carpet.
I appreciate Ford recognizing problems and offering a recall to fix them.. unlike Chevrolet trying to hide problems until people get killed, and then being FORCED to do a recall. Funny how idiots judge quality by recalls.. especially voluntary ones. Means that Ford cares, numbnuts.
The days of 12 foot beds are long since over
You say wind, but it's really Mormon God
Good morning Steve
Are you sure there is an actual trailer brake this time lol 😂. You know the last ranger never had one right? Even though you had said it did right?
Did I hear correctly that the side step is only available in the Lariet trim?
I hope it's an available option in the other trim levels.
It is. Go to the configurator and see for yourself.
Another reviewer drove an XLT and it had the step
I wish it was a wide screen and not a tall screen. With the tall screens you have to look down lower...
Did they add port injection to the 2.3 with this generation ranger?
