I just watched this again. Ordered a new Ranger soon as i saw this. Have never regretted it. Love the truck.
do you have the jerky stop and go. i test drove it and the low end torque and acceleration was horrible. felt like the car was rough idling at very low speeds. any issues like that?
Toufic zeidan I test drove the 2L bi turbo with 10 speed and it kind of felt clunky and jerky
Is the skid plate on the fuel tank plastic? I’ve got the STX Fx4 and was curious about yours.
love mine too
I have a 2019 XLT 4X4 and I love the thing. Really good truck.
I have driven rangers for years in New Zealand and can say they are the best money can buy. Toyota was number1 for 30 years until the current ranger arrived and took the top spot by a massive margin and then became the best re-sale value as well.
I’ve been looking into getting a ranger, but haven’t really found any real videos going over the off-road functionality and how it handles in snow, and I gotta say this video showed me everything I wanted to see and know. Thank you 🙏🏻
You guys need to do more videos together...great chemistry. Hope and Crosby Brian and Stewie Nathan and Andre
The new ranger looks like a home run for Ford. The only disadvantage is the pricing.
And tiny gasoline tank.
...and it's a ford
Yes sir the price is a little high and you have to remove one of the front wheels to do an oil change in order to remove the oil filter. No Thanks Ford.
hmc2s PSA was put out. No need to remove tire. You CAN get to it threw the A Arm just most places do tire rotation so while you have the tire off.
KYDashcam pricing?
The FX4 XLT with ford 360 is under 40,000
Just flipped my WRX to buy this truck. Really appreciate all the reviews, and demonstrations of this truck. You guys are really fun, and I enjoy your content. Think there is allot of value in this Ford product. I ordered the XL STX FX4, and it was 34K. It is the same truck as the fully loaded Lariat, but without the interior upgrades. Thats Awesome!!! My WRX was 30K, and does not have any of the versatility of this Ranger. I am really excited about this power train, and getting back into a Ranger. I had a 2011 FX4 Level 2 4.0V6, with 230K on it, and traded it in towards the WRX a few years ago. I was living in a townhouse, and did not need a truck. Bought a house this summer, and have been going back and forth about getting a truck to do home owner maintenance stuff. Don't need a full size, want to keep in garage, and like the agility of mid size. Then Ford relaunches the Ranger with a Turbo..... basically the WRX of midsize pickups. Ford really did a thing here, and this will be my third Ranger. Really appreciate the content guys. Subscribed, liked, and look forward to more!!!
You paid $34k for an XL!! WOW lol
@@hochhaul I paid 400K for my house. Not really a big deal. Step your game up son.
@@hochhaul Besides an extra 14K, for a Lariat seems excessive. My eight year old, and Border Collie will trash the leather seats. Literally the same truck besides the interior. I am excited!!!! You forgot the STX/FX4 part.
@@cazmaniandevil1 Oh did you pay 30% more than it's actually worth for that too? Ford charging 34k for an XL is ridiculous and straight up robbery. You can get an F-150 XLT for $34k all day. It shouldn't be a dime over $22k for a base trim (XL). XL trims are fleet/rental grade. Its hard to distinguish with this truck sonce they put so little effort into the interior on the XLT and Lariat trims, so I agree with them not being worth additional money. The truck's pricing is just ridiculous.
@@hochhaul I don't want an F-150...... This truck is flying off the shelf, and people have not even driven it yet. I agree that it is shaking up the market, and Ford leveraged it accordingly. You will still see F150's, for a steal. I imagine quite a bit of people that would have bought one will get a Ranger. Leaving more surplus of F150 stock. Supply/Demand. Free market is fun!!! Hope you can still get cheap F150's bro.
Own the 2020 Lariat FX4. Love it! We just had the worst snow storm in 20 years. I work at a hospital and had to have a truck that could get me there. I put on General Grabber ATX tires.. Made it with NO issues! Saw plenty of other trucks stuck in ditches. This truck is a swiss army knife. Good MPG, great off-road, comfortable, smooth, easy to manuever in town and park AND will tow 7500 lbs. Dont know what you could ask from a mid size pick up.
Haters pick apart every tiny detail because as a whole it is a huge winner, theyre mad they have tacos😃
I ended up getting the XLT! Been off road a few times and it handled so well! Love my Ranger!
You boys just sold a lot of trucks for Ford. Great video!
I’m so glad they brought the ranger back
Alex Staun same!! The new Ranger is awesome too!! My dad owned a couple Ranger’s they were really cool!!
I haven't had mine for very long but I've loved every bit of it so far. I really loved driving when I had an e30 bmw a few years back and this truck really made me love driving again
Just gotta say....I drove from Orlando to Montgomery last week ( all Interstate ) running 75mph and got 28 MPG ! Around town here in Montgomery I average 23.5. And towing my A-Frame camper I usually get 19 MPG. That's not bad for a 4 cyl that is capable of towing 7500 lbs. I used to have a Ram 1500 with the Hemi and I miss it, but not at the pump ! Also, I just turned 20k miles and zero issues. Overall, it's a good truck that's more than capable of what most people expect.
The "just get an F150" crowd doesn't realize that the Ranger is already on the large size for many of the 4x4 trails west of the Rockies. If the philosophy of use is doing that sort of thing, then this size vehicle or smaller is great.
Overall excellent vehicle....just needs a new gauge cluster.
Everybody saying “just get an f-150”.....people live in the city, park in garages a lot, don’t tow regularly, and don’t need that level of capability.
Then you just have people like my wife that prefer smaller trucks.
its perfect for my mother who never drives on the freeway and stays in about a 10 mile radius. She won't care about the small gas tank or lack luster fuel economy on the highway . However for people actually working that truck hard or towing an enclosed trailer that gas tank size is going to absolutely suck.
@@darens440 an 18 gallon tank is 14% less than a 21. Hardly as dramatic as you're making it out. Also, 26 mpg highway is lackluster? Realistically you're talking 30-40 mile range difference under towing or hauling heavy loads. It's fine to be a fanboy of another make, but at least dont be a melodramatic idiot about it.
@@endocry 21 gallons is also too small. Ranger is only getting low 20s for TFL in the 4x4 FX4. I've owned all the trucks brands. This ranger is not what i hoped it would be.
Mid-Size Truck doesn't mean less expensive truck anymore.
People buy them for the size and are willing to pay more for off-road and other upgrades.
I've been watching for years. You guys are still doing great stuff.
That's one of the things I love about my 2011 Escape Ltd. The seats are phenomenally comfortable! I've done the same 16 hr trip 11 times, and never gotten a sore butt, or a sore back. I even did two 23 hr trips from Michigan to Central Florida, with the same results. Not stiff or sore. The only way I'd part with my beloved Escape would be for a Ranger. But that ( hopefully) won't be necessary for many, many years. The mighty Escape has 207+k and still going strong. In fact, I'm planning a road trip from Michigan to Arizona coming soon.... should be epic!
Just test drive the new ranger and I’m very impressed with it. It drove like a small suv didn’t feel like I was driving a truck at all. The ecoboost has ample power is paired well with the 10 speed. I wouldn’t mind buying this truck in the future !
You will have a Toyota for about 300000 miles Where Ford will only last for a 100000 miles and you need a new one
Agree with Nathan “Awesome Orange “! Blacked out no Chrome also!!
$33,800 XL supercab 4x4 FX4 rear locker. Chrome delete!
You guys are a hoot, enjoyed the video, that Ranger will be a candidate at least for a test drive to replace my JKU.
LMAO I guess you didn't buy the JKU for it's off-road worthiness? Because even a U is vastly superior to the Ranger off-road. Assuming this Ranger uses the same junk 4WD setup that Ford uses on the F-150, this truck is a heartbreaker waiting to happen when the vac-actuated 4WD fails, which judging by the 2015-19 F-150, won't take long.
hochhaul how about chevy colorado，are they good？
dont, asia has ranger since 2003, they re not good in offroad
the axle shaft very weak
@@hochhaul well, the ones the Afghan Army and border patrol had got the crap beat out of them daily, and they never had any issues.
Wow you guys really did put the Ranger through every scenario I care about. Real off-roading, real winter conditions, long highway tripping. Great stuff!
Love the new Ranger it’s incredible!! I’m trying to get my dad to trade in his Ford Edge for a new Ranger!! The all new Ranger is definitely best in class and is already selling super well!!
I'm gonna say the same thing I said to Roman and Tommy when they drove back from L.A. with the jeep....have some In-n-Out for me!!! As a Cali boy living in Seattle I gorge on it anytime I have the chance lol. Do more of these. I love road trip videos.
Nathan and Andre always work really well together. Great team!
Have the XLT Supercab with 302A package for a few months now and 1900 miles on it. Completely happy with it. Just filled up with gas and last tank was 23.5 mpg with a mix of highway, two lane roads and some city. Super comfortable and all the features are very user friendly. Also have a 2018 Subaru Forester Limited and much prefer driving the Ford. Motor seems about equal to the V8 I had in my 2013 F150 as far as power and speed but uses a hell of a lot less gas.
Drove through snow and ice in Vail once in a Ford Fiesta, scariest thing I've ever done in a car. Never again. Which is why I'm looking into getting a mid-sized truck with off-road and 4x4 capabilities. Great videos, guys! Thank you!
I'm starting to like these road trip (with off road stops) videos. Excellent quality as usual TFL!
Real talk that jerky looked like strips of delicious cow flesh, not like petrified poo like most jerky.
"Real talk"???
I love you guys. You’re now one of my favorite RUclips channels. Because of you, I’ve placed my order for a new Ranger. Only difference for me... I’m sticking to a 4x2 model.
That Ranger is looking nice and they took it through places I would never go through anytime with a vehicle. I just can't see getting a new vehicle right now when I have three nice ones already and can run them for years. That truck would be nice for a young person who is looking for a vehicle to get back and forth to work in, plus a vehicle for vacation trips.
Keep doing what you do. Most review bang for the buck on the web. As for the Ranger, I'm still sold on it counting the negatives, but it's $5000 too much across the full line up. So bring on big incentives and dealer discounts, and I'll come shopping this summer.
The new #1 small truck out the gate! Go FORD!! Ranger was always #1 before it was discontinued so to push big truck sales. No surprise here. My order is in! '19 Ranger XLT crew FX4 deep red , black charcoal wheels.
your very right go ford
Last time the Ranger led the category was around 2004, many years before it was discontinued, cant see it reaching #1 anytime soon again.
Ford Ranger has dominated every Test Against Toyota Tacoma on youtube,.....Towing, Braking, Acceleration, Interior Comfort and quality and yes off roading. Ford Ranger is a better more refined truck.
For two guy and a couple of cameras, you take some phenomenal shots. I could watch this stuff all day.
Great video guys. I love to hear your real world opinions on vehicles. I will be watching all of your coverage of the Ranger as I will soon be in the market for a new truck. The Ranger is definitely on my list of possibilities. Thanks again for the video and keep olio the good work.
John Huff base Ranger- XL trim and FX4 package (rear locker)?
$33,800 4x4 FX4 package rear locker super cab . XL trim. Perfect price for midsize truck. Vinyl floor.
Wow the time goes fast. I remember last year same those days that you guys did the 2019 Ram Rebtel road trip and it was awesome. Maybe God bless you guys love you.
Always loved the old ranger. The new one is bringing back everything that was awesome with the old one
I have been researching for months and literally 100s of hours .I want to build a overland camping rig with a Alu Cab canopy camper. In terms of checking all the boxes and considering the pros and cons of the Jeeps ,full size Bronco ,ZR2 Tacomas and Nissans . I think with a few small mods I have finally made up my mind. Thanks for all your hard work guys.
Stops to talk to the cows in his awesome Russian accent lmao, I love Andre.
I love the new Ranger overall... but I absolutely hate the instrument cluster! There should be a standard large tachometer and Speedo like the F150 has... I’d also like to see the 325/400 ft lb 2.7 ecoboost as an option at some point ,what a hot rod that would be.
I agree with you on the V6 as an upgraded option but not on the dashboard cluster. Who cares whether or not it looks like its bigger sibling, the F150. I don't just as long it has the power and capability over its competitors like the Tacoma and Canyon.
That would be for the Ranger Raptor
Non Lariet models have conventional speedo and tach
I have heard that the platform will not accommodate a V6. Not sure if that is true.
I'd much rather have the 3.0L V6 from the Explorer & Lincolns. It offers more potential for the HO Raptor versions of the Ranger and Bronco.
I bought a 2013 Ranger Wildtrak 4x4 here in Thailand and love the truck. I got it because it was the only truck with wrap around air bags and my wife insisted I get it. I have the 3.2 diesel and it runs great with power and a smooth ride.
A pretty much loaded XLT with FX4 package is only $37,6. And that ain’t bad! No crappy gauge cluster either. No LED lights, though, but a dang good deal IMO.
I love these type of videos
_Nathan_ (2019) "I'm definitely a dog"😂😂 Good one! Superb video from Team TFL! Good times ahead in the midsize truck market. Looking forward to see how the Ranger holds up. Since Jeep has a truck now, I wonder if we'll see a Ram midsize as well.
Great video!! Not having Roman along complaining about it not having a brake controller the whole way. Even though you weren't towing anything was even better.
Been watching for awhile. Love watching you guys and TFL Truck! I'll take your reviews over anyone elses on the net, Period!
As an Ecoboost owner, not surprised at all it gets worse real world MPG than EPA
Yeah thats pretty bad IMO. I was expecting a lot more. I have a 2008 GC with the 4.7L GEN II (305HP and 335TQ) and full time 4wd. Open interstate MPG (Hand calculated) going 75mph on my last trip was 20.3mpg with 5 people and luggage. Pretty disappointed in the Ranger. I am considering one.
The Ranger still seems to have an advantage in every other aspect among midsize. It's a shame they're allowed to get away with these Ecoboost claims when they only apply on flat ground at sea level in a controlled environment. I live in the hills and the uphill effort of the engine is never made up by the downhill coasting, my wife is getting 15 mpg city in her 2.0 Ecoboost Edge rated at 20/28. We can hit the highway number if you keep it around 50-60 mph, but that's unrealistic on the freeway. I've got an Impreza that I'm looking to replace with a truck, and that only loses about 1 mpg around here. That turbo really sucks gas.
@@foghelmut they kind of have to go by what they get in a controlled environment though. Every manufacture has to test in those environments so it's not like they are doing it just to pad numbers. You cant get consistent data running random roads. Even running a hill can yield different results.
how many miles on this test truck???? makes a big difference if under 2K. I am averaging 25.8 MPG with my Ranger 4x4. but was closer to 19 until engine broke in.
I own am 03 f150 and get about 12 lol
That truck looks like it will be an excellent road trip/overland vehicle. I like it. Mid size is the right size.
I love my 18' Colorado Z71 as well. I got it for $32.5k this past Spring ($38k sticker). Just put $300 in on some OEM skids. $200 on some barely used ZR2 Rock Sliders. Ready to head out and explore with my family of four!
I'm a Ford guy but I've been eyeballing the Colorado. Would love to do some overlanding. How do you like it? Anything that sucks?
Adam Kreuz It has been great for towing, commuting, and general work so far. I have not had to use 4wd yet. Went right over a mini 2’ tall sand dune going up the boat ramp a while back. The auto locking rear is awesome. Had one on each of my last three trucks. Been great on road trips with the kids. I have been learning a lot about it through research and ownership. I like what I have seen. I have been assembling a thread on Overland Bound. Been using it as a data dump resource as I find things. Do a search for a thread called “2018 Chevy Colorado Z71” in the “vehicle build” section of the forum. I am posting up pics and thoughts as I go along. Only thing I have found annoying is the backup camera goes full bright when in reverse at night. Turns out it is the 18’s only... some of them. Free software update next Sat to fix it. It is a great truck. The engine bay has LOTs if room to turn wrenches compared to most trucks too. Especially anything with a turbo and mechanical driven fan.
Adam Kreuz One more thing... lol! I will never get a 4wd without the “Auto” mode like this truck has. Has almost no effect on fuel economy from what I can tell. And you can turn on dry pavement without binding the drivetrain. The Tcase is made by magna and the diffs are made by Dana. Same goes for this new ranger and Jeep Wranglers I believe. For now the Colorado has the best crawl ratio in the Market.... for midsized trucks.
Nice work. Never pay sticker price
- Uncle - For sure! There were no advertised discounts at the time. Bought it in March. Used cargurus.com and did a 150mi search for the exact truck trim I wanted. SEVERAL dealerships offering massive discounts. Printed out the best deal from 4 dealers and headed to my local dealer instead. Showed them the near by discounted trucks that were within driving distance. They raked up the pile and came back with a deal without negotiations(mostly). Since the lot had just gotten a massive amount of Colorado’s... I got it in the exact color and trim I wanted.
“Andre: It’s not a car it’s a truck” lol....nice to see my Ridgeline is not the only truck that gets profiled 😂
I'm starting to see better pricing on the Rangers where I am in Canada (Toronto area). I'm really interested in the Ranger. I test drove one and I liked it. It was comfortable and easy to drive.
Im in the Toronto area as well, also in the market for a new 4x4 midsize truck,,fuel economy is a sticking point for me,
Hate to be that guy but you can't use CarPlay to control the radio or climate. Great video!
No wonder we Euros love the Ranger. Ranger and VW Amarok is the top sellers here in Sweden. However, we only have them in diesels.
Including the 3.2?
Allan Jr Fernandez yes, we have the 2.2 & 3.2l diesel Ranger and the 2.0 & 3.0 diesel Amarok.
The Euros love the Ranger because it's a diesel in a country with less strict emissions and the Ranger there is offered with manual transmission. Ford screwed the US over with this thing
Ford's 3.2 diesel is an awesome motor. The 2.3 EcoBoost is a good motor too, for the American market I'd prefer the gasser.
Great video! Appreciate the information and opinions and enjoyed the commentary/banter.
That gauge cluster is straight out of the Explorer, Edge, and Fusion. I work at a Ford dealership and got to spend some time with one the other day. It almost (almost) makes me regret buying a new Colorado back in September. Would love to see some Ranger/Colorado/Tacoma mashups in the future. Love your videos TFL!
Awesome video guys as always! Stock Lariat is very capable. Looks sweet.
We live in Vegas. We drive from Vegas to SoCal 10 to 12 times a year. We always get a couple miles per gallon better when traveling to California. I’m guessing it’s due to the elevation change from sea level to over 2000 Feet. My 2018 Silverado Crew cab 4x4 Z71 with the 8 speed and the 5.3 gets about 22mpg to LA and a little over 20 mpg coming back.
I was playing in the build it section on the Ford Canada web site. I also was looking at, reminiscing about a 2010 Ranger I had bought in 2010. In 2010, my truck was an XLT and basically loaded for the time. The build sheet was showing a MSRP of just over $32,000 Canadian! So I thought I would try to build a 2019 Ranger like my 2010. I came up with a Ranger a SuperCab (the previous Ranger never offered a SuperCrew in Canada, USA) the XL model with the Sport package. MSRP was just over $34,000 Canadian!!! That’s all. We see the prices on here but the current Ranger has a ton of options, features, standard features than the previous Ranger. It is much larger as well. There are so many standard features that were not even options then. So comparing apples to apples, as close as possible, the Ranger is not overpriced. At all. The truck is just so much more now. I then compared the SuperCrew Ranger against the Explorer Sport Trac, the equivalent of the time. It was easy to get a fully loaded Sport Trac to retail at about $45,000 Canadian! The comparable Ranger Lariat FX4 is near the same price at just under $47,000. The Lariat also has many more safety features and options the Sport Trac didn’t have in 2011.
Taking this into account, I am thinking the pricing is not too bad.
I think you could negotiate much more off the MSRP in 2010 than now. That makes a big difference.
Hmmmmmm
I really like the Ranger and I think it'll be a big seller in the USA! Good review, thanks!
Wow, even the Jeep JLU Wrangler has a bigger gas tank than that. That's a surprise.
Back in 1986, I bought a new Toyota pickup with the 22RTE turbo engine. I had the 5- speed manual transmission. I got 19 miles to the gallon. So this new technology , engine and transmission.only does 1.5 mpg better. Oh and I only paid $8700.00 for the new truck.
Yeah and the new Ranger only has about twice the hp and torque as that truck too.🙄
I liked this the best of all of the Ranger videos I've watched. I'm still undecided on whether or not to buy right now, but this vid definitely helped the decision making process.
Thanks guys.
EXCELLENT REVIEW ON AND OFF ROAD...The FORD RANGER FX 4-OFF ROAD...MY NEXT RIDE...WITH HOPE.
The epa estimate was probably done with one occupant averaging about 175 lbs. You had two, not little, individuals. Just saying..... lol
Old comment but, not only that they can’t possibly truly estimate the miles themselves either. Sure they know how many miles they traveled but they can’t be sure exactly how much fuel was consumed just based off what they added at that specific pump
Love Andre talking to the cows lol.
My favourite car/truck reviewers ! Good chemistry which makes for a good review!
This video came out just after ordered mine. Made me want to arrive a lot faster then it did. I agree with nearly everything in the video. I love my truck and the longer I have it the more I love it. Mileage was never bad but has increased as the engine gets broken in have 5200 miles on it now.
How is it running now with more miles?
They should put the 5.0 in it just because👊👊👊
id love the 2.7. that would be good power.
woodsman stark then you wouldn't be able to stay out of the shop. The 5.0 is a WAAAAAAAAAY better option!
@@JohnDoe-nz6bk that is also correct 👍👍👍
Then they'd sell more of them and hardly any F150's. The price they have on the Ranger it should have come with a V8. They lost my interest when they said 4 cylinder and automatic only.
3.5 for the win i think
Did anybody counted how many times Andrey says "dude" ? :D
Dude, it wasn't enough!
A Lariat Ranger is 10 grand cheaper than a Tacoma TRD Pro! Its gorgeous and comes with more bells and whistles than you even need. Props to Ford🇺🇸
I have the 2021 Ranger XLT FX4 and yes the gas tank is too small ,with a full tank I can only get 564kms. The price tag for this truck was just over $51,000 with a Leer cap and extended warranty up to 200,000kms . In Canada coming back from a 5 hr trip in -40c weather it decided to go into reduced power mode , after talking with the dealership the Ranger seems to be having a turbo issue and they will be replacing the intake manifold ,inlet pipe and something else with the waste gate control. I only have 6800kms on it.
Great video's guys but how many times does Andre need to say "Dude"? Does he have the same writer as Roman?
Yeah. Love ranger. From malaysia
You guys need to keep in mind your overall elevation change and its impact of MPG considering your trip from sea level to the mountains. Any time my family travels from the willamette valley to central oregon (4-5k elevation gain) we get significantly lower fuel mileage than our typical "average" . We always get significantly better than our average on the return trip. Your assessment of MPG would be much more accurate if you did the return trip and averaged the two. Not making excuses for the truck, I would just like to see good data :) Thanks for the great reviews!
Hopefully TFL will take this thing on their more controlled 98 mile test loop (at a steady 7- mph) and get a number they can compare better against previous trucks they have tested.
It is real world testing. That is what they said. They make it clear it is not a controlled environment test.
Pretty awesome that trail control works in reverse. I didn't know that before watching this.
This vid helped me to decide to. It a 2019 Ranger XLT FX4. Thanks for the great info. What trail was that in Moab??
Hows the truck senor?
They mentioned the trail at the beginning of the Moab portion (9:18). It's called "Fins & Things".
Looks big.. a 90 f150 looks about the same size, and I think it got better gas mileage with the square body 300 inline, which are still on the road today. Looks like a modern F150 screwed a Tacoma and this is what popped out.
Cluster is the same as in my 2014 Fusion, though ti has different capabilities.
Nice job on the video. Road trip are always a good time.
In June of 2017 I had to say goodbye to my 2004 Ranger FX4. The frame had totted out after 13 years. I now have a 2017 Colorado. I have no complaints yet of the Colorado. I hope my Chevy gets the years the Ranger had. I had done a clutch and a couple of ball joints in that time. I honestly to not know what to think of the new Ranger. I see alot I like, and a some I really don't. I would give this truck a look at when it comes time to replace the Colorado. Nice work Ford.
I drove 3300 miles on my 2018 Tacoma when moved from the East coast to West coast. 17 states, 5 national parks and my truck didn't even sweat!
Finally Toyotas dated over priced Tacoma has yet more competition. Time to lower your prices Toyota and stop ripping people off.
oohh yeah the new ranger is dope. i had an 88 ranger and was working on turning it into an offroad beast but it died from major transmission issues so i had to scrap it. so ive been waiting for the new ranger
This very dated Ranger hasn't been selling too well, even the ancient Frontier is outselling it.
@@Shakerhood69 I know you posted this a year ago but as you probably know by now this "dated" and said by others "limited in drivetrains and configurations" truck is now the second best selling midsize behind the Taco and still gaining. Frontier is dead last. Word is getting out how awesome they are.
Well done guys! Always enjoy your videos!! You know they're good when 25 minutes just flew by! Thanks!!
Just got my Ranger XLT Supercab today. Let the adventures begin!
Dissapointing mpgs for a 4 cyl and a tiny gas tank. My Colorado diesel averages 28mpgs and gets 32+ highway mpgs and holds 19 gallons
Are you considering it is a brand new truck that is not broken in yet, they were not driving conservatively on the highway per their own admission and they went off-roading in Moab? 21 mpg over 1100 miles with those parameters is amazing.
@@thomasmontgomery9113
Yeah I know it's not broken in and how they were driving it and all but the main issue is the small gas tank.
The Colorado and Tacomas tanks are 20 gallons
@@leadnsteel1428 yeah but your truck is most likely broken in, and you probably spend the same amount of money if not more, because you have to fill up with diesel
21.1 in the Tacoma.
Great video guys! Beautiful scenery!
Glad you manually calculated the fuel economy too. I've had three cars now with average fuel economy readouts. A Honda, a Toyota, and a Ford. All of them were optimistic compared to my calculations, just like your Ranger was, although I think our Ranger was a little better than my three. Great video all the way around.
Yeah, road trip from SoCal to Utah 🤟
St.George is typical place to stay for a night, next morning we typically hit the Angels Landing trail in nearby Zion.. 🤤
I wish I were there with my friends..
Cheers from Ukraine!
My 2014 SHO has the exact same gauge cluster as the 2019 Ranger.
...that's cause the "New" Ranger is basically from 2011.
Love the sho, hows your experience with the car been?
@@colelockridge5816 I've only had mine for 5,600 miles. It's at about 85k right now. But it seems relatively good and strong still! Im definitely considering to trade in soon for a F150!
@@NukePooch1Lol yeah I noticed that after some more investigation myself! They need to slap in the Diesel with 400+tq and change up the cluster a little bit.
@@tatethegreat7560 that cluster is only in the Lariat the XLT and XL have the big tach and Speedo.
My gripes are no other engine option, hard plastics in a top of the line lariat at almost $50 grand, come on Ford! No different bed sizes, no bigger fuel tank options, no heated steering wheel nor cooled seats, again this is a almost $50 grand truck with a 4 cylinder, turbo or not still cheaper then a V6 or V8 to manufacture. So I think Ford arrogantly or cheaply decided to charge a little too much for what's offered, but it's in its 1st year so we'll see if the consumer demand is there and whether consumers will have the same complaints and if Ford will listen, just glad Ford didn't do what GM is doing for their Blazer roll out, what a POS that GM should be ashamed of, no creative thought what's so ever, maybe they'll come to their senses when they sell few if any...
I think you covered it all, except for the fact that it's a truck that was developed in 2011... otherwise, you said it all!
Ranger needs say, 28-30 gallon tank. I’d love that. My 36 gallon F150 tank spoiled me.
That Crawl mode is sick. Love it.
Great review guys. Keep up the good work and fun!
They should have the 3.3 v6 naturally aspirated as a option.
why? the 2.3 ecoboost is a way better engine. the days where turbocharged engines were unreliable are long gone.
I agree with Dragon800. Why? If they're going to put a V6 in it, make it the 2.7 EcoBoost.
@@steverhodes7036 theres a rumor they might put the 2.7 in the Ranger. I'd be pissed because I have a 2019. But by judging mine with the 2.3 a Ranger with the 2.7 would be friggin insane!
@@Trumplican - Exactly! Performance wise, I've heard very few complaints about the 2.3's performance levels. From what I've heard of the 2.7 EcoBoost in the F150, it would be a screamer in the Ranger!
@@steverhodes7036 ya it would the 2.3 is already a screamer. 0-60 in 7.35 seconds i think which isn't much for a car but for a truck it's pretty damn quick. Plus they are tuned down big time you can get way more power out of them. It's the quickest midsize truck I think 2nd is the Chevy Colorado at like 7.93
Great job TFL. You guys always have fun and entertaining videos. Keep up the good work. Long live the Ranger. Awesome truck!!🚛
Thanks for the real world stuff guys. From someone who is considering picking up a midsize truck over the next year, your input is greatly appreciated. Problem is I just love my Fiesta ST too much lol.
Great video
I had a 98 taco 2- wheel drive only got 15 on a 4 banger.
My 2wd 94 4.0 ranger gets 11 haha
You guys should do more road trip reviews like this, it's such a storyline fun to watch video.
I’m looking at this truck. This video was really helpful thx
I know you guys think it's outdated but, y'all should do a similar video with the Nissan Frontier...
Hella reliable. In fact the pro4x would do better on this test. Especially with the manual trans.
I'd take the Pro-4X over this Ranger.
I'd love to see it too, My 2010 6spd Pro-4x has been great. On a long trip like this I'd even see the same fuel ecomomy as the Ranger.
Id watch that! Solid, comfy truck and it can be ordered with a 6 spd manual.
@@davidtaylor5811 we're a ford company, ford family but I fully agree. Frontier is more truck like than other mid sized trucks and the vq40 v6 is still more than competitive with 261 hp 281#/ft torque.
Great review I am so looking forward to getting one.I have had 2 Rangers including my current 98. Ford needs to include Dark Green and a real Red not that Chill Pepper Red. I want a Red truck not a want to be red. Love the channel.
Agree on the colours-more choice would be nice. Far too many silvers and greys nowadays. Red isn't available on the Ranger in Canada-not even the chili red.
I rented 1 for a week . Great truck my God 4x4 mini raptor with 2.7 would be insane
Now that's a REAL truck test for day-to-day use! Can't wait for the Ike Gauntlet test of this Ranger... Great job guys!
