    • 2019 Ford Ranger XLT -...
    • The 2020 Jeep Gladiato...
    The #FordRanger has always had such a loyal following for years that most were shocked when #Ford let the #Ranger die nearly a decade ago here in America. Thankfully, a new resurgence in the compact truck segment has forced Ford to bring back the Ranger for 2019. It returns with probably the best gas powertrain in the segment, actual small truck dimensions, and handsome styling. Unfortunately, it has two big flaws that keep it from being a top pick in the segment and Ford could easily address it with a mild refresh.

      Depends on how you drive it and where. You will easily get 24 if on slower 2 lane hwy and drive it properly. I got 30 in a 2019 over 40 miles going to work. However I know I can't count on that every day, depend on wind direction and speed, and how fast traffic is going. I did a 200+ round trip today on interstate 75-80 mph and some in town driving and averaged over 22 with the dash lie-o-meter so it may be closer to 21. Still I've been impressed. Yes my F150 could get good MPG too on occasion but the Ranger just makes it easier to obtain and more consistent plus its much easier to drive and park in the city.

    Great review. I love the outside looks but agree that the interior was a missed opportunity. I think this vehicles Achilles heel is the fact a new is coming out in a couple years which is why I don’t think we’re getting a vehicle you can actually get choices (like engine and moonroof, etc). I think this was a decent band aid to hold over until the new one arrives. But if you can wait then wait. The next gen will be the one to get.

    I am 5'11" and my son-in-law is 6'2" and he both fit well in the rear seat (behind me). I test drove the Toyota Tacoma and the Chevy Colorado prior to ordering my truck, both of them felt cheap in comparison the the Ranger (that is why I purchased one). I test drove all three trims of the Ranger before getting the Lariat SuperCrew. I would recommend the fully loaded options, mine is loaded and I paid 42,792 before tax and license. If you order from the dealership you can get it for less (if you can wait).

      This generation's Tacoma was listed as one of the worst reliable cars for the first 2 years its production. Not just "bad", like one of the worst. Even today, people are returning those things to the dealership due to bended frame issues.
      I hate dumb just randomly give Toyota a pass because ONCE UPON A TIME they made something reliable. They make shit cars, usually are "reliable" because they are using 20 yr old platforms, while everybody else is innovating. Congrats bro, you just bought (overpaid) for a 15 yr old truck that happened to be made this year.

    I drove one and almost bought it last Saturday. It's a simple truck with high quality. It pulls good at low engine speeds but takes a dive at higher RPM. That's not too bad considering it has a 10 speed. Would be nice if there was a tow mode for transmission shifts to allow for later shifts when on the throttle. The one thing that made me not buy it, and I am picky, is it sounds like a groany 4 cylinder. Smoothness just isn't there, but don't get me wrong, if you aren't looking for a midsize truck to drive as quiet as a V6 or V8, it's a great truck. It's very comfortable and the extra cab has a good long 6ft bed. If I wasn't doing a 140 mile a day round trip that demanded a high comfort level for a 50 year old to conquer, I would definitely buy one. It's a lot of truck for the meager price.

If you accelerated hard it seemed to shift fine, but normal stop and go driving it was horrible.
