Items you missed --> REAR SEAT Folds FLAT (nice for Dogs...and Coolers, etc). BED (Wheel Wells) is WIDER...Plywood Sheets now fit between them. Also, the CABIN SOUND is "quieter" due to the new "Sound Barrier" auto-glass being used in the 2024 Ranger. The RIDE is better due to the additional 2" WIDTH and additional 2" WHEEL BASE...plus the placement of the REAR SHOCKS on the outer portion of the Frame.
My only complaint for the new one is when the 2019-2023 model came out they bragged the steel front bumper. They went away from that. Raptors have one, put it on the normal one
It’s confusing when you compare the 2024 Lariat with the previous model XLT because some of the items being pointed out in the new one (push button start for example) was available in the previous Lariat model.
I don't think Ford has the capacity to exceed the Tacoma. The Ranger is only built at one plant in Michigan and shares production capacity with the Bronco. The Tacoma has full production at a plant in Mexico and I think can be built with the Tundra in San Antonio if needed.
The market is so different these day. In many markets in the U.S. the Tacoma is being discounted by dealers and NO additional sticker. I think/hope the Ranger grows in market share as the F150 has gotten more expensive and is a bit too large for many.
The older model is still pretty nice. As for mid-trucks my personal preference is the Nissan Frontier. That was actually a funny comment: keeping your foot warm from the exhaust pipe!
I like the old ranger! When it came I thought it reminded me of my 1997 f-150. But the newest is still alright. P.S. plus I like that the 2019-2022 ford ranger is thinner.
The new Ranger is way better looking. I don't care for the new extended vertical center stack screen. Half that size with some physical buttons and controls for the hvac would have sufficed. I love the addition of the 2.7 especially if you tow and haul cargo and people often. The biggest issue is the scandalous asking price 😮 ✌🏽🇺🇲
@@JamesThomas-dn6ee I do! So do many people in the South. Summer’s are brutal down here. I’m a 2004 Toyota Tacoma owner looking to upgrade to a GMC Canyon AT4 which has the rear vents.
Would love to own either if i has the money. I say the old one for me would be more worth it. Love both in extior design, however the interior of the older one is nicer due to the smaller screen i hate big screens and that every new vehicle is over the top with tech. The old one being a little smaller wouldnt bother me as i want a smaller truck anyways. For the price and size of the new one you might as well buy an f150
For the price I'd go full size but it's definitely game on for mid-size pickup truck wars. Winner going away with it: Ford Mavericks soon to be the best selling truck and possibly vehicle ever. Ford Maverick has a hybrid option as well.
I think they both look good! The only design que I qustion is the antenna...Why a sharkfin and a anntenna sticking up? I expet once they get production ramped up the new Ranger will do quite nicely and give Tacoma a run for top selling mid sized truck.
2019-2023 had the same 2.3L 4 Turbo as the new ones and same as Mustang, but there is an option for a 2.6L V6 with the new. It's $2,195 upcharge for the V6, but only in 4x4.
LOL I have a new Chevy Colorado Trail Boss, these are midsize trucks, I’m 5’9 and have plenty of room, this guys 6’2 and still has good room, are you 7 ft, I use to ride in the back of my new 02 Silverado extended cab that I still own and my Colorado is way way more roomier, way better to have a very roomy rear seat than a longer bed that won’t hardly get used,,it blows my mind when people complain how small the rear seats are, they aren’t small at all! These are big midsize trucks, compare these trucks to midsize S10s and 80s 90s Rangers!
The new one is a whole lot bigger than the original, the bed is shorter and the price tag is in the $45,000 range. Why did ford abandon the 1990's version that was a great truck, and sold like crazy because they were affordable?
Competition. If they start making larger mid-size trucks (Tacoma’s, Xterra, Canyon, etc) with more features and amenities, Ford is bound to do the same. However, with the popularity of the F150, which was selling like crazy every year, Ford just decided to put their resources in that so the Ranger just languished and discontinued for a time.
EPA regulations are largely responsible in USA. Vehicles get judged on different standards based on wheelbase and size. I've read that in order for a truck the size of the old Ranger to meet modern regulations, it would have to be capable of getting something like 45-50mpg. Which of course isn't possible with the tech we have.
@@seruresto1386 Reading between the lines, the compact truck market has been screwed up by the bureaucrats who were never voted into office and have no accountability, but tax paying citizens get to suffer. Sounds about right. .
@@ItsAlive111 Thanks for the suggestion. I am struggling with that because the Maverick only have a 4-1/2 foot bed (and no frame) the old Rangers were 6 foot for the short and 7 foot for the long, and they had frames. I would however, love to have a 1972 Maverick Grabber coupe 😁
That model is 50K US before any dealer convenience fees where I live. It seems like a lot for what it is. While they are two totally different classes of vehicles, my challenger RT SP 1320 was cheaper, but it's a hell of a lot more fun than a 4 door car with an open trunk. I think vehicle manufacturers are starting to run into the limits of their greed. Inventory is piling up and they don't understand why.
The ridgeline is an accord with a bed and a max towing rating of 5k. The full frame Ranger can tow 7500 lbs. for those who actually use a truck for truck reasons towing and the tech, the Ranger is a home run.
Because Ford is #1 in Truck sales. Ford makes mostly better looking trucks, they usually offer more technology than the competition, usually more power than the competition as well. They also fair better in accidents.
@@taurussho86 and they’re also unreliable and catch fire (transmission failures less than 30k miles isn’t normal) just saw a new maverick on fire on the freeway a few days ago
No long bed. Crew cab only. Huge disapointment. Annoying that midsize trucks are just mall crawlers now. Wide enough for a 4x8 sheet in the bed is pretty nice tho
It will fly when the 2.7 engine is available.
It’s available now, but only in 4WD models
@@devontucker1572 it hasn't hit any lots. I want to drive it.
ford needs to put the manual transmission from the broncco into the ranger
Better? Yes. But at what price? I will stick with my 2019 XLT FX4. It does what I need it to do.

Drop in the hybrid setup from the Lincoln Nautilis and you have a winner. Hopefully the PHEV makes it to the US.
Interior dimensions virtually the same. Check out the specs. That being said, I'll probably go to the 2.7 l Ranger next year. Love that engine.
My only complaint for the new one is when the 2019-2023 model came out they bragged the steel front bumper. They went away from that. Raptors have one, put it on the normal one
Sorry, my 2004 Ranger has a 6 foot bed. The new ones have wheelbarrow handles in the tail lights, and mine is paid for.
My 2023 Chevy Colorado Trail Boss is also paid for and I only have 3k miles on it!
It’s confusing when you compare the 2024 Lariat with the previous model XLT because some of the items being pointed out in the new one (push button start for example) was available in the previous Lariat model.
Not sure this will surpass the Tacoma in sales however this generation of Ranger will compete much better.
It won't. Tacoma is Toyotas F-150. However Ranger is really good.
I don't think Ford has the capacity to exceed the Tacoma. The Ranger is only built at one plant in Michigan and shares production capacity with the Bronco. The Tacoma has full production at a plant in Mexico and I think can be built with the Tundra in San Antonio if needed.

Doesn’t look like it. The Nissan Frontier looks to be the model people are looking into if they skip the Tacoma.
The older model is still pretty nice. As for mid-trucks my personal preference is the Nissan Frontier. That was actually a funny comment: keeping your foot warm from the exhaust pipe!

Why not use the same trim package
Broo major Upgrade!!!!! Trade in your older Rangers. The height the tires the deisgn the size all upgraded wow!
Tell Ford they need a 6’ bed option. That would be my next truck but the 5’ bed is a deal breaker.
The new Ranger is way better looking. I don't care for the new extended vertical center stack screen. Half that size with some physical buttons and controls for the hvac would have sufficed. I love the addition of the 2.7 especially if you tow and haul cargo and people often. The biggest issue is the scandalous asking price 😮 ✌🏽🇺🇲
The new Ranger may be better in every way, except looks, in my opinion. I prefer the older, more sleek version of Ranger.
Interesting
I think they wanted it to look more like the F150.
Yea you’re in the minority on that take
@@nokoolaid and the maverick
The old Ranger's looks are insanely plain and uninspired.
Still stoked on my 2011, the best era of the ranger (subjectively speaking)
Is there a sunroof/moonroof option?
No
The new Colorado has rear Ac heater vents, the new Ranger does not!
Who gives a shit lol
@@JamesThomas-dn6ee I do! So do many people in the South. Summer’s are brutal down here. I’m a 2004 Toyota Tacoma owner looking to upgrade to a GMC Canyon AT4 which has the rear vents.
@eddierodriguez3472 the vehicles are not that big the front vents will cool the whole vehicle no issue
Bro the rear heater vents are located under the front seats.

Replace the shocks on the old ranger and ride becomes awesome
And will it rack up the dozen recalls the hybird Maverick has ?

Upgrade now to increase sales both will get you from point A to B in the same time and manner
Looks like the F150 that’s attractive…I liked the ‘70s where it was just different trim packages…like my 79 F150 4 speed/ 4x4 custom trim in my barn
I think they both look good! The only design que I qustion is the antenna...Why a sharkfin and a anntenna sticking up? I expet once they get production ramped up the new Ranger will do quite nicely and give Tacoma a run for top selling mid sized truck.
what year is that old Ranger, I kinda like it ...
2020
what engine does the last generation ranger come with?
2019-2023 had the same 2.3L 4 Turbo as the new ones and same as Mustang, but there is an option for a 2.6L V6 with the new. It's $2,195 upcharge for the V6, but only in 4x4.
I prefer a steel bumper
They should just make an extended cab and a longer bed,not much room for adults in rear anyway. Good looking truck but way over priced.

I'm wondering if the new Ranger is capable of venturing off-road as much as the old Ranger.
Can you get it in a manual?
Nop

Went to buy a 24 Ranger in Alberta. 9% interest. NOPE. Bought a F150 at 3%.
idk if im diggin the new front fascia if i'm gonna be honest.
If he compared 23 lariat to the 24 lariat there would be a lot less comparison… he’s just trying to sell the new 24’s … total ford BS
The base and final msrp are to expensive imo.
After having Explorers among our fleet rigs, and all the problems that have come with them, I wouldn't buy a cheaper Ford. 🤷♂️
As long as Ford keeps focusing on technology over reliability they will not get my business.
Ok
Ok
Glad you agree. Even their CEO says their quality is crap
What Brand does'nt?
What you mean by crap??
my dad bought a new 2010 ford ranger sport 4x4 for 23k... now a BASE ranger is 32k, get lost. salaries have gone up maybe 20% since then.
Enjoy never owning a new truck then, poor boi
Have you not been paying attention everything costs more today. Stop voting democratic
The 2024 Ranger looks great, I prefer the more square front end, it has a more classic truck look.👍🏼
So glad sun roofs are going away. They are so dumb and add complexity and leak points. Option it if you want it, but not me…
Why??
Can you play sketch if you are waiting for your husband in the grocery store? ;-)
No rear ac vents is a deal breaker. Reason #1 why I bought a Ridgeline
Interesting

Really , ,thats your reason not to buy the ranger ? LOL. When your driving your ranger , you doing it from the back seat ?? lol
😂 Ok
2024 Ranger better be better than the old one, that platform on the old one is from 2011.
2019 in the States.
There still junk even with up grades
They are actually pretty reliable trucks
This dude sounds like Christopher Walken lmao
Ugly, way overpriced, way too big. You might as well buy a f-150. Ford can keep these things.
You people are just too big hahaha ford ranger here in asia is too wide and spacious😊
It is better than old one but sadly nothing as sexy as the new Tacoma. I think it be lucky to be in top three of sales for segment 🤷
why would anyone buy this trash
Thats weird
