I got to say - it's refreshing to hear someone who knows what they are talking about. You know this truck inside out. That's great!
Thank you I appreciate that
I am getting the Ranger because I want to downsize from a full size truck. Full size trucks have just grown to monsterous proportions. They are too big any more. I am tired of having to use a ladder just to wash the hood and windshield. The Ranger is more maneuverable and has a nice ride IMO, yet still has good towing capacity and payload for what I will use it for. So it is the best of both worlds for me.
Congrats and thanks for sharing
So you dont want to buy a cybertruck 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You may still need a small step ladder if it's a FWD, but they are a little easier to maneuver in a parking lot than a full-size truck.
Don't worry you'll pay the same price 🤣👌
@aarsenalfan - same price for what? The truck? I have already looked and to get a comparably loaded full size truck is at least $10K to $15K more.
I wish XLT had push button start
This one is keeping that retro style inside 😁👍
Me too. It is ridiculous actually nowadays when base cheap cars have it. Also the Ford flip ignition key is prone to break and it is very expensive to replace.
On the other side of things the push button starts kia/hyundais were huge targets for easy thefts because the system was easily faked and people were just driving off with the cars in under a minute. If one manufacturer can be hacked so can the others. A key at least slows them down a little.
That and rear vents
@@ivy_404_ 2024 Austrailia model has rear vents
I loved my F-150 Super Crew but I needed something smaller when I took a job in a downtown area. Yes, I know a F-150 can be had at the same price but for some size is benefit.
They are both great vehicles 👍
Those in the know (Ranger fans) consider this model the 6G and the 2019-2023 the 5G for the US.
I have a '21 and love it but may trade for the new models.
I may have missed it, but is this the standard XLT or XLT High package?
Another note, the 2.7V6 is only available in 4x4, as of now anyway.
This has the sports appearance package
Do you think in the future they'll offer heads up display and heated and ventilated seats? These are two options that I've gotten use to and love them on my current vehicle.
Because the Maverick doesn’t have them it may take a couple years before Ford adds it as this helps push buyers to the F-150. They have heated seats on the Lariat though.
Doubt they will add those. They didn't change the last gen ranger through its run. The way the economy is going people can't afford full size which is why mid size is selling well. However, even mid sized at $40-$50k is still crazy $ especially with the high interest rates. I would be surprised if we see an economic bounceback in the next 4-5 years (expected time between model refreshes) and I expect we are going to see the car market suffer and have to shift back to econobox cars again. I don't think they will make changes that would jump the price on the ranger and as haykeyerides mentioned those would be features that push someone (who could afford it) into a luxury priced f150.
Thank you for sharing! I’m thinking about an XLT Technology RWD myself, so thank you for the comparison. I’m curious to see an Active Park Assist demo on it.
Next time around I will show it, my camera broke due to heavy wind 👍
Parking assist 😂😅
I need it with a 6 foot bed.
The payload and towing is really good 👍
put me on the 6 foot wish list also!
Tacoma and nissan frontier are your only options for 6ft bed at this point. The majority of mid size truck buyers are buying family haulers so that is where ford/gm have decided to draw a line.
No vents in the back is a huge miss imo every new vehicle should have them standard nowadays at these prices but overall love this new ranger and seriously considering one
They are nice 👍
There are vents, they are under both Passenger and Drivers seatS, pointing back. How do i know, just looked at a '24 XL and saw them with my own 2 peepers!
@@chrisfrank8413 under the seats? Lol useless
@chrisfrank8413 floor vents but not vents in the rear middle 👍
i just bought one and I love it. The way the front vents are positioned gives plenty of flow to the back. I mean really the cab isnt that big so it cool or heats pretty quickly.
@HawkeyRides great video! I'm in the market for my first truck. I'm coming from a 2017 Honda Accord and in the Honda they have the ability to tap the "sync" button for climate control which will make both dual climate controls the same temps. In the Ford Ranger, is there such an option. For example, it's set at 70 degrees but now I want to drop the temp to 68 degrees. Do I need to adjust both controls to drop it down to 68? I'm really hoping there is a way to do it together as adjusting two temperature controls will get old fast. Also, I'm pretty disappointed with not having rear vents. I feel like my kids will hate it back there. Do you think it matters much? In your crystal ball, do you foresee Ford including that in a future year, such as 2025, 2026, etc since overseas have it?
For the dual climate control you can adjust one and it will automatically adjust the other. If you change the temp on the passenger side it will only change the passenger side temp. For the rear vent they might add it on the top trim this seems to be what everyone else is doing but nothing is confirmed. Thanks Jeffrey
@@HawkeyeRides awesome, thanks!
I bought one 3 days ago, has already blew a coolant hose at 36 miles. Got it back again and checked my coolant at 81 miles because temp was going up, completely empty again. It is going back to the dealership tomorrow and I’m getting out of the deal as the engine has overheated twice before 100 miles
Sorry to hear that and thanks for sharing
@@HawkeyeRides truck is amazing in all aspects when it’s working, I loved it lol
@@devinrankin7072 The powertrain is the same proven powertrain as the last gen. Sounds like you went to a bad service dept who didn't diagnose the truck properly. If you like the rest of the truck I'd take it to another dealership and see if they get you straightened out.
@@spyder000069 they took the original ranger back, got a silver one now from another dealer and loving it
Did you get the 2.7 ecoboost?
I have a 22 ranger and had a 19 ranger. Did they fix the spongy and unresponsive brake system?
@@kenshaw338 it is the same, in the drive part of the review I touch base on the rear feel and brakes 👍
You can get 315 HP in the Nissan Frontier with no turbo and we know turbos can have problems… but Ford did well looks good
They are nice trucks
Frontier is a nice truck. I wish they had more payload.
With way less torque. A pickup needs the power down low and the eco boost are good at that
I've looked at the frontier several times and I like the idea of the old school powertrain. However, as mentioned the torque and payload are much better in the ranger. The infotainment/camera system in the frontier are not great quality, its lower to the ground, the rear seat is almost verticle, and there is no integrated brake controller. Also nissan slaps you in the face by making a $500 off road recovery backpack with an amazon first aid and tow strap mandatory on pro4x models. The ranger ticks a lot of boxes but the powertrain of the nissan is pretty reliable and ford's recall situation has been out of hand over the last couple of years.
Personally I love the turbo engines in these midsize trucks. You can get a simple tune and gain 30hp and it can be a fast truck. When you’re towing something you can switch to the tow tune. When you’re driving on a road trip you can choose the eco tune. Plus with the 2.7 you can tow more and it has a lot more torque.
Love the Ranger, but the new Tacoma looks way better. That cheesy front grill on the Ford kind of kills the vibe. Still like the Ranger though, just not my first pick.
@@tntshuffle-9799 the good thing is each vehicle always leaves room for a refresh
Just add the 7 speed manual from the Bronco and it will be a great truck.
They are nice 👍
They sell a 6 sp in Aus and worldwide allready. also have an Extened cab Ver, not here in the US.
Make a cheap single cab Ranger work truck. They make it in the UK
It’s a great overall truck 👍
@@HawkeyeRides two too many doors and 10k too expensive. Ford can do better but chooses not to because of profits.
I never thought I would buy anything other than Toyota when it came to midsize, but damn… ford really knocked this out of the park. I’ll be purchasing an xlt soon, and what’s even sadder is I can get a fully loaded xlt for the same price as a BASE SR5! Toyota has really priced their own customers out.
That is a great point 👍
@@user-tb7rn1il3q as have I, granted the only domestic car I’ve ever owned was a jeep grand Cherokee that was a complete POS. I am really disappointed in the direction Toyota is heading, but the prices are what is driving me away. They have lost their minds by increasing prices like 40%! I refuse to pay 50k plus for a tacoma, that’s ridiculous. Literally just pricing the new ranger compared to the tacoma was literally a 7k difference lol. I’m going to take the ranger and give it a shot.
Agree Toyota prices are ridiculous. People are buying the name.
Get the 2.7 twin turbo!!
I swapped from toyota this year. I’ve been driving Tacomas and tundras since 2010. I just did t like the 24 Tacoma.
2:33 Those who have a T6 will see that change in T6.2, which accommodates 255 65 18 tire Stop video a few times, you will see.
It's a 17 inch you can play it back to
02:08
and see it on this clip too 👍
@@HawkeyeRides 255 65 18 and 255 70 17 are both used in 2024 XLT - BOTH 31.1 DIAMETER. Something omitted in 2024, Ranger owners will see.
Fuel injection turbos will be the downfall of all these small trucks
Nothing perfect unfortunately 👍
I'm leaning towards F-150 over this Ranger, but it's a very close call.
They are both awesome, I am working on a comparison review of the two now but like I say on this review don’t add too many features otherwise go F150.
If you tow wait until the 2.7 liter rangers become more widely available. That is when the ranger will pull ahead of the f150 for most people. It doesn't increase the tow numbers but it will tow with less strain and should be a fun truck.
Where are you going to get a new F150 for less than 45-50k? Decently equipped they are going for 60-70k+!!!
They start at 36,770 and right now have the lowest apr and mark off deals so check and see for yourself. This review was done 2 days ago so this is all up to date information.
@@HawkeyeRides xlt 4wd 2.7 are all at least 50-55k which is what an xlt ranger would compare to with the ranger probably better equipped. Good chance the ranger will have better build quality but we’ll see on that.
@theoutdoordad7395 it’s 47,620 which this Ranger was not a 4x4 and the upgrade to the Ranger, the sticker is within the first 2-15 seconds newly 50k
It’s nothing to me as I do not sell vehicles but put spec to spec and you will see. The Ranger has went up both or great vehicles but I would go up to the F150.
Here is fords website:
www.ford.com/trucks/f150/
@HawkeyeRides you aren't gunna pay Ford's internet price you gotta add all the fees and markups from the dealerships for what you actually ate going to pay. Xlt rangers in my only ford dealership start at 59k a far cry for the 32k ford says the ranger goes for. Now I know that's the xl base model but that doesn't matter if the only trucks the dealership will buy are these kitted luxury mansionmobiles
@@joshtrue467 like I said I was there 2 days ago, maybe where you are that’s the case but not everywhere
Useless bed. Needs a 6ft bed with crewcab.
That would be nice
Needs 6ft bed,
Nice trucks 👍
I cannot view videos on the screen
Why
@@HawkeyeRides is it possible?
@@howardcoronel7240 it would be a code but I’m not aware of it for use of features not listed
@@HawkeyeRides other pickup has video but Ford Ranger not, but thanks. Have a nice day!
4G outshines 5G
To each service it’s different 👍
Crazy expensive. Get rid of all the frills give me power windows and air conditioning, four-cylinder, fuel injection only! They should be able to make an engine that will do 200,000 miles without a hiccup! Too much technical crap I would never buy one
Overall it’s a great truck but they have gone up
