Chris. I continue to be a big fan of your channel. Your reviews pack everything into a 10 minute video that tells me more than others do in 30 minutes. You always hit the right points. Thank you sir!
I just got a 2020 super crew XLT 4x4. Didn't go with an FX4 because I wouldn't really need/use it. I love the truck though. Great video by the way. Very informative and straight to the point.
Great review. Love to see the Ranger back! The worst feature to me seems to be the rear folding seat. They really need to redesign that to fold flat for hauling stuff.
What are the octane levels for Georgia gas? Here in Utah we are at 75/87/90 for premium...Another great review Chris!!! How do you rate this alongside the Honda Ridgeline? For someone who doesn't need to tow a house or carry a car in the bed...
Wow. 75? I don't know if I've even heard of that low a rating. Most of our stations have 87/89/91 and some places have 93. This Ranger is a true truck, whereas the Ridgeline is a little more carlike. If you have real truck stuff to do, you'll want something like this The_Notorious_9. But if you just need some capability to carry large items and want a more crossover-type ride, the Ridgeline will do you fine. Thanks for watching!
I was interested in the Ranger until I seen what I would actually be getting for the 40+ K’s... I recently went Colo ZR2 Duramax instead. Since Ford didn’t make available the Ranger Raptor to the U.S. they should’ve offered it instead as the FX4 package.
I mean if you like Chevy cool but the ranger is equally, capable, actually even more capable than the Colorado. Also if you comparing price tags the duramax after taxes run into the mid to high 50's after taxes..... i know because i looked. Standard Ranger to standard Colorado and the ranger beats it in specs all around.
Ry C you must be looking at the ZR2 Bison because in WA state after rebates you will get the ZR2 Duramax mid 40 .. w/rebates/no trade. Check it out www.sunsetchevrolet.com/VehicleSearchResults?search=new
Good video and I like the behind the scenes part at the end. As for the truck I’ve been disappointed in the ranger since it came out. Coming from a 2001 sport trac, this ranger has failed on the interior of this spectrum, especially for the price. This current platform is old, the design is old and there is no need that ford had to attempt to charge this much for what is probably a 10 year old design (from when they started designing). Rear seats that don’t fold flat, a cheap looking interior, an already outdated exterior style, a bed that’s too high to be as practical as it can be and all for full size price. The engine and transmission, while appropriate for this size isn’t from any special ford bin so again it’s way over priced for what it is. I love fords so I’m not hating to hate, just disappointed in what ford put together. I’ll ride out what I have until the next gen comes out or spend the same money and get a f150.
So I mean to say that its outdated would be false. The Chevy Colorado, GMC and Toyota are even more outdated in terms of full revision. I personally own one and first off, my seats in the back fold flat, ive used it before, and secondly while ford does need to update their interiors, the ranger has a pretty nice interior with comfortable seats. YOU personally don't like the way it looks and that's your opinion but it's not outdated on anything technology or spec related, and actually beats the other competitors in a bunch of different categories. Also to say the engine and transmission isn't anything special is also false and then that would be applied across the entire midsize truck range because they all do the same thing. This is a truck with specific tuned 4 cylinder mustang engine with twin turbo that has more horse power than Tacoma V6 and while on spec it has less than 10 horsepower than a Colorado, it can beat it in a race due to the 10 speed transmission... oh and it can pull more than the Colorado, GMC and Tacoma excluding any duramax ( any midsize diesel truck over 50k should.)I really need to point out that in terms of transmission the ranger HAS the best in its class and yes it even beats Chevy. A 6 speed compared to a 10 speed makes a big difference. Also I got my ranger xlt with all the packages except leather for 39k after taxes sooooo yeah.

Thanks, Dan Elliott!
Hey Chris. I agree with you. This size pickup is most the average buyer actually uses on a regular basis.
Yup! These current-gen mid-sizers are amazingly capable, canonlybeme4life. And so much easier to live with, too. As always, we appreciate you!
this was a really good reviewer. i like how you clip every feature it has. new sub 30 seconds in
We appreciate your support, Challenger_1022. Thanks for watching!
That video is spot on love my 2019 XLT super cab fx4 with chrome package couldn't be happier
Nice! Enjoy your truck, Paul Peters, and thanks for watching!

Enjoy your new truck, Zach D! Thanks for watching!
Hi Zach...how are you liking it? I am considering getting the same truck. Any issues so far?
Love my Lariat 4x4.
Thanks for watching, Darrin Gusko!

I wish I could give you a million more subs.
We appreciate you, emdec55!
An F150 from 20 years ago is the same size as this truck.
Sure is, Tom245332. This is more than enough truck for most. Thanks for watching!

@@AutoAcademics oh shoot! That's 85 my man! Got the numbers switched up!
@@The_Notorious_CRG Oh, ok. LOL Now that octane I've heard of. I was like, "Dang the air really IS thin up there." LOL
@@AutoAcademics 😂😂😂
I owed a Ford Fiesta. So when you say shudder when taking off. That tells me Ford must love getting sued.
I like this truck a lot, but the only bad thing is the front lights
Amazing video tho!
It really is a nice driving truck with plenty of capability, inflow divide. Thanks for watching!
@@AutoAcademics you're welcome.
3:35 brand new truck and the engine's already jumping off the motor mounts. Wonder how much more it'll move with another 40k miles.
Jumping off the motor mounts? Every engine rocks like that if you rev it. Lol
Are you referring to it moving to the side when revved? Like EVERY engine….🙄…coming off the motor mounts..smh
Midsize?
Already too big for Europa, LOL!
Thanks for posting
LOL
Yeah, these "small" trucks are getting huge. Thanks for watching, FrankypankyV8!
How tall are you for comparison size in the seating arrangements and space
Hi, Omar Ramirez. Chris likes to say he's "of average height," but we figure he's around 5'8 or 5'9. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

@@gingerbreadman5756 nice thats a good deal, assuming you did a trade in because I looked at the prices and they're in the 50's

All the trucks are basically the same price. I got my 20 Lariat Ranger FX4 for 39500. It is paid for and I am chilling. Get what you want man.
