this truck paired with the 2.7 is going to be a real treat. that blue in the xlt trim is beautiful. wheels and tires look great from the factory.
My favorote thing is that Ford just makes the rear locker a relatively cheap option and doesn't put it behind a massive pay wall. If only the others would do the same. I shouldn't need to buy a decked out "off-road" trim to get that.
For sure. They used to make so you had to get the fx4 package but glad they changed that
The Colorado has a proper limited slip on almost every trim. Pretty sure the rangers “rear locker” is just using the brakes like the Tacoma
@@dawsongranger4940False.
The rear axle in the Ranger is a Dana Adventek M220 (new version of the Dana 44, similar to new Bronco and late model Jeeps).
In the open diff mode the computer terrain modes do modulate brake torque, but the electronic locker has splined lock plates that lock the two axle shafts together with magnets and a spring apply plate.
Pretty sure ???actually not sure would have been accurate 😂
@@rhekman1:41 nice explanation perfect description
Like the clean, boxy styling. And glad you're showing a lower or mid level trim. Payload is really good. Even pretty good for a light duty full-size.
Nice truck! I own a 2020 Ford Ranger and no complaints.. I have 50,000 miles with no problems!
FORD RANGER!!
I'm not in the midsize truck segment but I think the ranger looks better than the new Tacoma.
I do wish they offered it in a long bed and Id possibly consider it
Good morning Steve!!! Your a great automotive journalist. Great video Bro!!
Looking forward to the full review. This was very nice!
XLT in Velocity Blue is what I have on order. Cant wait for it to get here!
Me too.
Supposedly, a supercab with 6 foot bed is coming later along with a PHEV.
they need a PHEV maverick before the ranger
Doubtful
Excellent Review and Episode as Always!!! 😁
Thanks for the video! 🔥
Thanks TruckKing! I had the pleasure of owning a 2020 Ford Ranger Lariat, it was an incredible truck. I ultimately upgraded to a full size truck but if anyone is hesitant I can assure you, it will not disappoint! The 2.3 had plenty of power and the new updates look great.
Super cool video, It have exact same options that the one I ordered (except for interior color) I can't wait seeing mine. I looking forward for your review.
Looking forward to the full review. Thanks Steve
Great video Steve! Beautiful colour. I think Ford did a great job updating the truck. The previous model looked a little dumpy and it was already outdated as soon as it came out. And the payload numbers are not just good for a mid size, they're excellent! Can't wait to see the 2.7 go
Head to head with the higher output Canyon and Colorado, and Tacoma hybrid coming this spring. Looking forward to your drive test next week.
Nice update by Ford and this Ranger is wider than last generation.
I love the bed features and available locker on lower trims. The payload is pretty sweet too
Great video Steve. Looking forward to seeing your full review.
I am planning to order a Ranger Raptor soon as my local Dealer has an allocation available. I am mostly wanting to see how well you fit in the driver seat and how everything feels to you.
We are similar size, big ole boys, you're an inch taller than me.
For me so often, I feel very crowded by the B pillar placement on smaller 4 door cars and trucks.
So, if possible, please get some footage of yourself in the driver seat and please describe how comfortable it feels to you.
Would love to know how it feels to you getting in and out of it and if that B-pillar is crowding you etc. etc.
Very much looking forward to your take on these new Rangers. So far there are none in stock anywhere in my area to go set in myself, so looking forward to hearing all about in your reviews next week.
I wouldn't call it "All kinds of storage under the back seat". Why didn't they make it a 60/40 split so you can at least have one passenger back there depending on your cargo?
I like the truck. For me it’s too expensive for what it is.
I would buy one if it had an optional 6’ or 6’5” bed. Add an option for a max payload / trailer package up to 10,000 lbs trailer and think it would sell a lot.
Have a ‘19 Ranger and would have loved to upgrade to a 2.7 ‘24 but can’t without the 6’ bed option.
i think it looks good.love that velocity blue.
Them 2.7s are quick, enough power for 90% of ppl
Looks better than I was thinking it would. I'll take it.
Thanks for the review Steve. That payload is 100 lbs more than my 2019 Ram 1500 Bighorn....
But room for about 5 bags of mulch.
My 2024 Australian 3 liter V6 Ford Ranger XLT comes with a push start engine. Free side steps, free tub liner, free sports bar, free towbar kit, Free rubber floor mats, foot steps on the side rear tub, touring pack including 360 cameras and lights.
I've noticed that none of the US models have sports bars. I have the 2023 XLT Ranger. Got all the same stuff you listed above.
Glad to see all the towing stuff available. Ultimately that was one of the main reasons i traded back to an f150 from the bronco i ordered. It pulled well but stopped horribly while towing anything.
Love them, but I'll never buy one unless they offer a longer bed with the 4-door. Hate that crappy little bed.
I'd be interested to see if the front seating is the same as the Explorer. We like our '23 Timberline a lot.
I sure hope the 2.7 is the same one in the f150… that thing is bullet proof
I heard it is the same as in the F-150 and Bronco, except it is 'tuned' a little bit more like the F-150 version.
Nice truck. Solid powertrain, good numbers. The new Toyotas break front axles I have seen.
Not even the axles lol
if it was available in a regular cab long box with the 2.7 I would order one tomorrow!
Right now i have a 21 Ranger FX4. I have a 24 FX4 on order waiting for it to be built.
I just wished they put dial injection like they do the Ecoboost Mustang. Still a good truck, just need a/o separators &/or catch cans.
Would love to know what where the issues causing a stop sale and delayed introduction for like 6 months?
I love it. I have a 2019 Ranger XLT that I bought new. In February I ordered a new Ranger XLT and it's in Velocity Blue. I'm glad to see a video of the color and I like it even more now. As of Feb. 29th I have my official order number. One thing I don't like on this and I don't like it on my 2019 is that light gray front panel under the grill. I may have to get serious and see about having that painted in the same grey as the rest of the trim. I can't wait to get my new truck.
Looks like Ford dropped the 4WD Auto option on all trims except Raptor, which seems like a big mistake
That is a mistake. I love having that option
Out of all the midsize trucks, I like the new Frontier the best, followed by the Ranger, Colorado, Tacoma, and then finally the Canyon.
At first the Ranger didnt do anything for me but its grown on me alot.
My options will be 4x4, rear locker, 2.7 v6 and that is it!! I want it as base as possible for cheap payments. I’ll upgrade everything else myself..
Weird light color for truck seats
Yeah I'm not a fan of that interior color. I feel like those are "high touch" areas and will easily show dust/dirt/etc.
They also kept the ebony black interior as option. I have a 21 with that color
Even though it looks like the Maverick, that's still better than the new Tacoma. Looks wise, time will tell the rest!
Front looks like a baby F150 to me. Especially with the LED headlights.
@@henryf.ky.3415 Sorry, I still see Maverick!
looks nice, didn't see rear air vents.
Love the looks of the new Ranger. I recently ordered an XLT in velocity blue with the same sandstone interior. Only difference is mine will be a 4x2 and have the chrome package. Only thing I really with it had was an available sunroof.
Is the bed length the same as last model? I thought last model was 5'5"
Where i am in Canada Ford dealerships have hundreds of vehicles but no Rangers,how can people buy one if none are available
So good
I’m waiting for the 2.7 to place my order.
Even if this is base model it's good as a daily for people who needs to carry some stuff in bed or just as work truck. Nice review. Greetings
did ford reinvent the knob or what ever you call it to turn on the headlights like chevy did.or is it were its suspose to be.like thelast 100 or so years.
If that seat actually folds flat my Lab will be a happy pooch
It looks great! It doesn’t have that bro mobile look like most of the other midsize trucks.
That's no stranger!!!
Looks like a winner. But that means dealer markups and forever to find one at a dealership! Waiting for your driving impression and the comfort level as a big guy driving it...
Cool truck but I need a bigger bed and will never tow.
The 2.7 in mainstream (xlt and lariat) will make this amazing.
Wonder how long the 2.7L turbo V6 Rangers will last against the new Taco and GM Twins since they now only have turbo 4s. What I’m even more excited to see is how it’ll go against the Frontier’s NA V6.
Would be nice to have auto 4wd setting
The Raptor has that
This is a nice looking truck. It would be better if they dropped the turbo and put a regular V6 in it and no 10 speed automatic to break.
Looks good I just wish midsized trucks came with a 6foot bed
Tacoma does with 4dr crew cab. I have one and the bed extender makes it a 8ft bed to boot!
Nissan frontier.
Beautiful truck. The fact that plywood fits in the bed is huge. Once they start building the V6 versions, who needs an F150?
If you do any towing at all. I’ve towed real weight, even with an F150 it was still a sketchy process. Do t get me wrong it did fine but I would not want to go any kind of long distance like that.
Better choice for longevity- the 2.3 or the 2.7??
Great first review. I think Ford missed by omitting rear HVAC vents for back seat passengers. Otherwise, it is a good evolution of the previous truck.
Eh the taco didn't have it either
my be they are under the front seats on the floor
I’ve got the vents for the rear seats on my F150. They make very little difference. It’s just something they charge you more money for! With the way kids play with their phones , they appreciate the USB ports more!
There. under the front seats. No console vents.
You should have got the 2.7. Previous model could only have the 2.3
I was very much looking forward to the new Ranger, then I saw it at the Tampa auto show last November, and walked away completely disappointed. Coming up from behind the truck, the first thing I noticed is that there’s no bedliner. Now does that really make a difference? No, but this is your show truck. This is what you’re putting out to impress people seeing it for the first time, it is an XLT model like the one in this review, not a stripped down level and there’s no bedliner? Not a great first impression, it immediately made the thing look cheap, which is going to be a common sentiment in this review. Next, I open up the drivers door and looked at the seat. It looked really nice and then I ran my hand over it. Now maybe this is made with some ultra durable, neutron laced bamboo, but the first thing that ran through my mind as I felt the material was that I’ll be amazed if these seats aren’t splitting and tearing in 6 to 9 months. Getting into the truck I looked at the steering wheel. Now this particular truck had a lot of buttons on the steering wheel. A lot of very tiny buttons. For me here in Florida, not really a big deal, but anybody that has to wear gloves, four or five months out of the year, good luck pushing the right button every time. Then I saw there was no push button start, you needed a key. Is this an end of the world thing? No. In fact, I’ve never even owned a vehicle with pushbutton start, but again this is your show truck setting the first impression and it’s not the stripped down model, it’s your mid-level XLT in 2023 (at the time). Then, I went to lift up the center console. I had already sat in both the Jeep Gladiator and Chevy Colorado, and opening those center consoles resulted in a nice level of resistance and feel. Opening the center console on the Ranger, I won’t say that I thought I was actually going to tear the thing off, but it was so lightweight, with so little resistance the only word that comes to mind is flimsy. Same for the switch gear for the windows and door locks. Are they good enough to last the life of the truck? Maybe, but again they gave me no feel of confidence. Lastly, was the knobs at the bottom of the large screen. Looking at them I almost laughed. The center knob is literally the size of a quarter. I had one in my pocket and took it out to check. The left and the right knobs are maybe 25% larger. Again, will they work? Yes, but this is a truck and the tiny knobs just looked comical sitting underneath that gigantic screen. Given all these things, I just don’t see myself ever buying one, unless they really undercut the pricing of the competition.
I’m not sure feel after the strike and quality control issues. Have turbo failure and engine crank damage!
Maverick taillights.
This has the tech package but no push button start and it still has incandescent lighting? C'mon man.
Can you ask Ford if the 24 Ranger can be flat towed behind a motorhome?
I asked.
The answer I got is "no flat towing on the Ranger, as of today."
The addition of that last bit suggests to me that they're working on it and in the near future it will be flat towable. But they wouldn't confirm that, so just an assumption for now.
Is auto 4hi an option for the Ranger?
Yea in the Raptor model only
A powerboost ranger would be sick
Wow, I was expecting that to cost way more tbh! If the driving impressions are positive, I might have to go take one for a test drive
Agreed
Best value in the midsize. Way better than the taco
To cut down configurations, Ford is offering much more popular features as standard on lower priced trims.
I'm in the market for a mid size pick up. With the way pricing is going, it's almost better to buy used if you have the money outright. My budget is under $50,000 Canadian. I want a dependable vehicle, not overly concerned with tech. I've had more Ford's than any other car manufacturer. I've never owned a Nissan, but the Frontier is where my ❤ is. I really love the seating and styling :) I'm also looking for something that will get me 10-12 years with regular maintenance. I prefer the v6 naturally aspirated engine as well.
Shame about the bed length - that is just a little too short! Most motorcycles have a wheelbase 55-59", so you'd have your motorbike sitting with the rear wheel way out on the tailgate, if it'd fit at all. Seems a bit sketchy. The 5.5 ft bed on the older Frontier we have is about right to haul a sportbike. Rear tire just touching the tailgate if in straight, or if in the bed diagonally, you can close the tailgate. I guess renting the U-Haul motorcycle trailer is needed for a track day with this unit, then.
Having 2 kids I just see those seats getting stained by juice or some food, hopefully it is a resilient fabric
It seems like most of the “truck channels” talk about the 4WD trucks, I get it but for someone like me a retired person who likes trucks but not into the 4 wheel thing. So here’s my thought, maybe sometime you folks can do some videos on rear wheel drives. I feel it’s more than just the same thing minus the 4WD. Thanks for your channel and the videos. Oh by the way I live in the states, the southern states.
They offer a 4x2 in XLT it takes 4500 off the price.
Thanks
I agree with you there. There is a lot about the enthusiasts who are into rock crawling, hardcore 4x4, etc. with reviews. Many people never take their trucks out onto the dirt. Sport versions are probably much more in your wheelhouse with a nicer ride and fuel economy.
Ok, thanks for the info, I’ll have to check into it.👍🏻
Even though I like the Colorado and Taco looks better, I think this is more competitively priced compared to the Taco at least.
2.7 ecoboost in a midsize is crazy, it's like all the guys who wanted a v8 in their rangers back in the day. A 1/2 ton truck engine option in a midsize.
Chevrolet also puts their 2.7 from the Silverado in their Colorado.
…which has even more torque than the Ford engine.
@@ALMX5DPa 4 banger
@@Holden-McGroinand is slower than the 2.3 ford.
@@ALMX5DP less reliable though
Towing and payload are still great. Inside finally up to date. Love the look of it. 2.3 has a lot of power. Lots of midsize competition.
lol good spin from a Ford nut hugger. Honestly the ford faithful should be the most disappointed by this phones in turd
Indeed. 7500 lbs with a 2.3 is insane
Great video! I like the modest look of this Ranger. But I have to admit, the Tacoma and Canyon both look better in my opinion! But 2024 is the year of the midsize truck. All refreshed and all battling it out.
I went into my local dealer to inquire about the Ranger. He told me he didn’t know when they would get any. He said only 5 were allocated to dealers in the immediate area.
Ford is really slow rolling this model. Guess they're trying to avoid the mistake made with the Bronco and Explorer
@@211Gus maybe the strike this yr slowed production?
Purchased a 2023 F150. No 2024 F150’s either.
Unfortunately the 2024 model year 4X4 Ranger's can't be towed (Flat Towed) behind a motorhome, that's a real bummer. 2019 thru 2023 models can but not the 2024's.
I’d like to see it tow7,500 lb through the Rocky’s
Looking good, but not as good as the Wildtrack in AU.
Much better then the original version. The grill is much better looking and not as generic looking. I'm not a fan of the unnecessarily tall vertical entertainment screen, half the size would have been just fine. But at this price point your practically the same cost of a low mileage certified used F-150 that has more options, is more durable and looks better in my opinion. The size difference at this point is minimal. I appreciate the inclusion of the 2.7 V6 and Raptor option but again is hitting F-150 territory and for my money I'd rather have a low mileage F-150 with a better warranty and reliability history. I would suggest leasing the Ranger or at least compare it to the F-150 side by side. If size is your preference and you don't tow anything heavy or often the Maverick is a better choice. The Ranger would be better for consistent off roading or towing. Landscaping companies etc. But again the Maverick is a better option if the towing is light and the size is the main preference. If Ford would put the same 2.3 in the Maverick and up the payload and towing capabilities then the Ranger would be unnecessary. Perhaps Ford should have done just that and the Maverick would have just been the Ranger. Now the Ranger isn't much more maneuverable or smaller then the F-150 so again what's the point of this out going Ranger? Take the more options, power and durability of the best selling pickup truck 🤙🏼❤
If they produce a 6 feet bed with a super crew version, i'll change my 2022 ranger for the new one
Is it sad the fact I like that the base cloth trim comes with manual lumbar support for the driver and read arm rest/cupholder?
It looks like a nissan frontier and a toyota tacoma had a baby and gave us a ford ranger
People can RUclips Ford Ranger Australia if they want to see reviews they’ve been available for a year now
Looks decent 👌. But with such price more clever to buy slitly used full size truck. It is strange to hear that 55k is ok price for mid size truck.....😢
Will the 2.7L V6 come to the Ranger?
Watch the video ffs.
Please tell me how a 4-door vehicle built in 2024 does not have rear A/C vents. Ford, please, make it make sense to me.
Waiting for the 2.7… don’t care if it’s late. I’m waiting…
Should be interesting.
The payload sounds like the best part about this truck. The design looks like it should have came out in 2020.
I also don't like that it misses 4 auto. Is GM the only manufacturer with 4 auto in the midsize segment or something?
Why the hell does a ranger cost as much as some full size pickups?? 46k for an XLT 52k for a lariat 60k before dealer markups on a ranger raptor
@Truck King: Great review as usual, thanks. Ranger seems like it has a lot of nice equipment at a reasonable price. The front end styling just does not work, way too conservative.
Need to make the twin turbo standard for the entire lineup to simplify production and maintenance requirements. Only part of the trucking segment that is holding up is medium duty Toyota Tacoma and Chevy "taco killer" Colorado. Ford Maverick is the only truck really and truly selling at the moment both in numbers and dollar amounts tho. Full size trucks are all electric is what is moving with Tesla really starting to truly dominate US vehicle sales period at the moment. An amazing amount of amazing product out there right now but asking prices for what buyers are in fact getting for that exorbitant price #not_good in fact bad. Motorcycles are even worse at the moment. UTV and ATV market remains crazy hot though which does bode well for the US truck market.
I guess I'm not familiar with the polite world that uses white trim in the interior. Not the first and definitely not the last.
Not enough to make me move from my '21 5g tremor....was hoping for a '24 tremor to upgrade to ....i lack heated seats and mirrors which I find ridiculous not to be standard in Canada....my understanding is its NOT standard again....that said i do believe all rear sliding window options are powered now which is a nice addition....2.3 is plentiful for me....not interested in the 2.7....although probably a hoot to drive not interested in paying more for an engine option that most likely gets marginally worse fuel mileage....decreases truck payload and almost assuredly results in no increased towing capacity.
Raptor is nice ...but not for 80k+...or 70k+.....crazy talk
