Thanks for watching. You can also check out the new 2019 Chevy Silverado HERE: ruclips.net/video/p3mH9ybMrs4/видео.html
The Fast Lane Truck here in South Africa with the Ranger you can only get 3 engine choices which aren't too bad actually. The 3.2 5cylinder tdci (147kw 470kw) and the 2.2 4cylinder tdci (118kw 385nm) ,there is a 2.5 petrol NA option but wasn't too popular. The Mazda BT50 run with the same engines.
That is the Thai made Ranger. I am wondering if the American Ranger is the same Ford of Australia engineered and design as the Thai produced one.
The South African Ford Ranger is built in the Silverton plant in South Africa alongside the Ford Everest, the diesel motors are built in the Port Elizabeth plant. SA builds the right hand drive models as from 2015/2016. There's a great rivalry here between the Ranger fans and Toyota Hilux (built in Durban, South Africa) fans
Bet they put out a Ranger Raptor with a big power boost.
i read Australia is testing a Ranger Raptor
If all there offering is a 4 cylinder gas they better undercut the price of colorado and tacoma to sell.
No diesel? No all aluminum body? Only one engine?
This whole thing just feels halfassed. The Colorado just seems like it shits on this thing.
Jellyfrosh the Frontier takes both... for a work truck any way
I believe there will be more engine option by 2019. To not make more engine option is ludicrous. That only one engine will make ford lover turn to a chevy colorado instead.
Probably not because ford always finds a way to beat Chevy
lets see who shits on who when the new Ranger is on roads!!
Jellyfrosh the aluminum bed in. The f150 was weak. That's why the stopped the "aluminum thing"
From someone (in engineering) who is familiar with the global platform, I am actually pleasantly surprised how much they updated for the north american market. I was expecting some new colors and steering wheel placement (even then it would hang with the rest of the midsize group). But no, the team decided to offer an awesome little engine and transmission combo. I love manuals, I drive one, but they are dead in the north american market, same with regular cabs. Ford is not a charity, they want to make money. This power train combo will hit the sweet spot of power, performance, and driveability that will max sales for the simplest investment we can make right now. The higher ups will only consider more performance in the specialty versions like the raptor ranger and bronco where it is both necessary and lower risk to cannibalizing the F-150 sales. As for appearance, that BUMPER! unlike the taco, colorado and (global platform), this thing has a proper front end. Trucks don't have "facia".
Do you know much about the global Ranger? I moved to the UK a while back and got myself one thinking I could lift it like my old F150. So far I can't find any good lift kits for them. There are a few Australian and Thai ones but I don't like the look of them. I wanted to get myself a BDS kit but I don't know if there are any differences in the trucks that would cause problems fitting it. I've contacted BDS and Rough Country and they say they've never seen the global version so they don't know. Any help would be much Appreciated.
that's pretty underwhelming. Can't think of a single reason I'd buy this over the 2.8L Colorado.
Bed between the wheel wells is something like 44.5". I have a Tacoma right now and will NEVER buy another truck that can't haul a sheet of plywood.
Tacoma 2nd gen has 43" between the wells.
Wow... Way to drop the ball Ford.
Really ford!!!! Only 2.3l 4cyl as an option? Why not put the 2.7 ecoboost in there? Why no diesel? Why no manual trans?
simjet22 I know right guess people are going to stick with a Tacoma then
there is a rumour about that most diesel engines will stop being produced for small vehicles from 20-22
PlasticAssasin8 why? They are better for the environment than gas engines
Thank you simjet22...No one, other than Porsche and Honda, really do well at 4 cylinder engines...C'mon Ford, it's America here, so put on your freakin big boy pants!
Freedom Rider Don't forget Toyota.
I'm guessing as the years go on they will add a Platinum trim, a Raptor trip, and probably a diesel option, we'll have to see.
Ericinferno14
Ranger Raptor is already in the works. They, Ford Australia, even put out a video of a Ranger Raptor tearing the shit out of Outback dirt roads. Badass video, search it on yt.
Ericinferno14 Well... I got news for you. This ranger is not new, it have been there for a while in the international market. An also it is not a Ford, it is a rebadged Mazda bt50 this is the reason the design is totally different from the rest of the Ford lineup. The only Ford thing there is the engine they are planing to offer in the US and this is the worst part you will receive. In the international market this truck have a good 4 cylinder turbo Diesel engine and a really good 5 cylinder turbo intercooled 3,2 liter engine from Mazda. Also there is no such a thing like a Raptor Ranger, don’t be fooled with this. There is a nicer off road version but is called wildtrak but have nothing to see with the raptor. Just google it. And yes!!! The truck is very good... after all is Mazda!
Chris L Nope! There is no such a thing like that basically because the ranger is not a Ford is a Mazda and the trim they show in the teaser video is a Wildtrak model. They are just trying to explode the marketing with this. ruclips.net/video/rsKn1Ii2Kfc/видео.html
Humberto Rubi
Here you go; ruclips.net/video/__YUso22hmY/видео.html
Chris L Yes, I have seen the video before, but as I said this is the wildtrak. They are just doing marketing using the “raptor” batch. There’s a few years these vehicles are available here and are very good and reliable. The interiors are very good and the Diesel engines are superb specially the 5 cylinder 3.2.
I like how these and other trucks like the newly done Nissan Frontier we're just publicly shown, but have been available almost every here else. My bro just came back from Belize and new trucks are every down there... Can buy them months before they even show up in the USA.
Can't wait for this truck!!! My 2006 Ranger still going strong. Aside from the takata airbag recall it's been an awesome little truck for me
STEALTH1USA Keep your 06’ or get an 11’ like I did. Taking care of it and driving mine until it won’t go anymore! This new “Ranger” isn’t a Ranger but a weakened Tacoma lol.
MT: Gear/Man Stuff/Nature/Etc hey when the little Vulcan engine wont go anymore that truck is getting a 5.0 swap lol
Looks nice. I would bet that in a year or two they will offer another engine option. Probably a diesel.
Noah Dahl if not, they are missing out on a huge chunk of the market
You are correct.....Ford likes to lure buyers in and after a couple of model years, heavily update the same vehicle to get the buyer back in the showroom.
Perfect example is the 1st Gen Raptor...first year was an extended cab with 5.4....maybe a 7.0 V8 to replace the current 3.5 V6 TT . This will get potential buyers back in the showroom spending money.
Don't worry, in a year or two, a diesel or 2.7 V6 TT Raptor Ranger will be available.
even in October 2023 there is NO diesel Ranger in Canada & US. It's in the rest of the world though but it's horsepower is disappointing
That's the Australian Ranger. This model has been out since 2015. Google PX2 Ranger. We only get a 3.2L 5 cylinder diesel, and a 2.2L 4 cylinder diesel...
max bett The current rangers are hideous though, pick up trucks made in North America tend to be manlier looking and less simplistic.
max bett Why is it always other country,s get first picks
aux1z11 They are not picked first, Ford killed off the Ranger in NA. We here in Europe got a rebranded Mazda BT-50 between 2006 and 2011 when the new Ranger was released, developed by Ford Australia.
why our diesel works well with the 6 speed, 10 speed in a diesel will sound like a CVT
I really wish it was a lot smaller... I miss the tiny pickup trucks of the past.
Le Leedler yeah I had a 1984 ranger 2 Wheel Drive no power anything with a 5.0 302 Engine swap with a supercharger boy did that truck ever rip when it hooked up that is lol
The truck market customers are wanting bigger and more technologically advanced trucks. Those mini trucks of the 80 were like tin cans. I wouldn't want my kids riding in them. The crash ratings on them are appalling. New industry rating standards are forcing manufacturers to evolve and adapt their vehicles to meet the standards.
James Cundiff Understandable, and great comment. I still think it would be possible to do a micro truck and their is clearly want in the market since people have been making their own swaps for years now.
People drive smart cars... A smaller pickup with modern safety features would probably be just as safe as a sedan. Size does not equal safety.
Squirrel Panda 'sactly, a Fiat 500 is tiny and is very safe, so... It's possible.
This car was designed in Australia and we've had them here for ages and they win car of the year all the time. The engines we get are v6 and the 3.2l diesel and they're awesome.
MrBrooxy we don’t get a v6 mate.
I like it, sharp styling. I was a skeptic of smaller ecoboost engines, but having been able to try driving a few, they really are able to put down some good power for being smaller 4cyl engines.
I don't really like it. The whole point of the ranger was to be a small and cheap truck. This one is a massive as last years F-150. I really wish that the small truck market of the 80's and 90's came back, I just think that small trucks are way nicer than these massive behemoths that are called trucks today.
zoom6y8 oh yeah, I currently own an early 80s Isuzu pup (aka Chevy luv) and it's tiny even compared to modern economy cars a d that's why I love it
This truck is sold here in South Africa. It's not as big as the F-150 & that's why it copes relatively well with European narrow roads. Perhaps it looks butch but it's relatively small. It's very popular in South Africa & Australia.
Ben Horner no more $20,000 4x4s or 15k 4 cylinders...
My 07 4.0L might have to last forever
That would move the game in time.
mziwenduku ntsele thats coz it has turbo diesel 4x4 and manual available
My father is gonna love this, he's rocking a 08 4Liter now, might be a good upgrade.
Walter White I think you mean 4 cylinder
adam aguilera no, I mean 4liter v6, thats what's in his 08 ranger.
I am not at all surprised they chose a 4cyl turbo engine. Makes sense. Kinda wish they had a more powerful V6 option. Still driving my 2004 Ranger with 4.0L V6.
I wonder if a V6 would fit in this if it has been designed from the start with an I4. On the bright side, if you are looking for power and not just cylinders, it will have almost twice the HP and torque of your 4.0.
I have the same truck, Might want to run your vin to see if you have a recall on its airbag, mine does, It's getting replaced in about a week. Besides that, awesome truck right? My 4.0 v6 with standard tranny is so much fun to drive :)
All of the auto companies have lost the plot when it comes to compact pickups. The Tacoma is the size of a damn Tundra. This Ranger looks like an F150 with equivalent cost, size, and complexity. A Raptor-esque, luxury Ranger? WTF? Compact pickups are supposed to be small, easy to fix, bare bones vehicles you can keep for years cheaply. Ecoboost has been shown to die or cost a fortune to keep alive shortly after 100,000 miles, and your average home mechanic cannot work on these things. My 2003 2.3L 5-speed standard cab Ranger is the perfect daily driving work truck. I load tools, motorcycle, skydiving, and BASE jumping gear in the bed. The dog, my cooler, and I ride in the cab. I take a fire road slowly to my destination. BASE jump. Walk my dog. Go to work. Pick up groceries. Do everything I need in this truck. When it needs maintenance I can easily afford to do it on schedule, preventively in my driveway. And, it has 136,000 miles without leaking or burning a drop of anything. Whereas my buddies Ecoboost King Ranch F150 destroyed its exhaust manifolds at 100,000 miles due to the dumbest bolt pattern I have ever seen, it was miserable to fix, and then ate its own transmission 5,000 miles later. And he’s an aircraft mechanic. No, he’s not a truck expert. But he’s experienced enough to spend the exorbitant amounts of money to do the maintenance on his truck to prevent these sorts of things from happening. Yet when he goes to the dealership to ask what happened and how to prevent it their response was, “That just happens with these trucks.”
Why on Earth would I want a Lariat Ecoboost Ranger that I am afraid to use for damaging it, cannot afford to fix, is the size of a full-size truck, and will cost tens of thousands of dollars in repairs (not preventative maintenance) at the 100,000 mile mark?
Doug Moore nice comment...
sounds like the market numbers don't justify them building a truck for you or me anymore.
who do they expect to be building these trucks for now?
The Tacoma is the same size as the 1st gen Tundra was, but the Tacoma keeps increasing in size every year it seems like and a ridiculous price for 1/4 of a damn truck. I bought a 2008 Tundra because the Tacoma still seems cramped, and the 4.0L V6 offered at the time didn't get shit for fuel economy, and for $2k more I got the Tundra with the 5.7L V8 which actually got about the same fuel economy as the 4.0L V6 in the Tacoma.
Excellent point, William Todd. You’re a person that wants a full-size truck. You started with a compact. Then realized the newest version is not enough truck inside with too much size and money outside. There is not enough disparity between the two to make me want the compact truck, and all the wrong differences to make you stick with the compact. For barely a pittance more, you moved up and got what you wanted. Where’s the difference between compact and full-size?
Perfectly stated.
Its because of CAFE. The larger a vehicle's footprint is the worse fuel economy its allowed to get. It's also why you basically have to special order a single cab full size truck. . . You can't even buy a new single cab compact truck anymore. As for the rest of your complaint, its all about money. They design vehicles to fail because doing it any other way is just bad for business.
You did a great explaining the truck without over complicating things! I really like the whiteboard, keep up the great work.
That engine option is shocking. In Europe we at least get a 3.2L Diesel I5
Danny McCoy pppo
Yall get all the cool shit in Europe!!
They already ruined it by only offering one engine option
Marcus Corvain that 2.3 ecoboost is a proven and capable engine.
Beef Stew I didn't cut on the engine I just find it bullshit that they can offer so many trim levels and what not but continue cramming the Ecoboost down people's throats and this is coming from someone that won't own anything other then a Ford
The EcoBoost engines sell like hotcakes. It's not so much Ford forcing them upon us as it is consumers demanding more of them. When the Ranger first debuted as a midsize in the 80s it only had 1 engine too. Give it a few years and I'd bet the Ranger will probably have a diesel option as well.
Give it time I say. they offer a 2.2L power stroke in the Transit and global ranger soon enough we will see that engine over here. They are probably trying to engineer the engine for our strict emissions to make it 50 state legal so people don't complain about the diesel; like they seem to do with every truck that comes with a Diesel engine.
I think there'll be more engine options but maybe they'll just launch with the 2.3 engine. At least I hope lol. Hopefully they'll put in a modified 3.0 ecoboost (from the Continental, but "modified for truck duty) as a higher spec option and maybe a 3.5 ecoboost (detuned as to not encroach on the F150 Raptor). Wishful thinking huh? lol
The ranger lariat coming to a dealer near you for $50k. Or close to it, how about pricing these affordably ford?! They don't care cause they know there are people out there willing to pay 70k for a f150. Don't make cars for working men anymore
Matt Man Um you do know that a 60 or 70k f150 gets you a fully loaded raptor, aka a performance offroading beast that destroys every other truck on road and off, while also getting a reliable family car that can haul your family around as well as tow and haul things whenever you need it to, that also offers pretty great tech and rides better than a Mercedes. Any working man can get a ford truck brand new for 25k or less for a f150 and around 32 or so for a super duty. I can guarantee this Ranger will prob have a starting price in the low 20s. For a brand new truck, that's pretty damn affordable. The prices you sighted are for fords with every option box ticked , so yes, at that point they're luxury cars with luxury cars prices. Basically if you want a cheap ford, you can still buy one very easily. Before you say oh but my '86 Ranger was only 8 grand. Yes but factor in inflation and that truck would be like 16 or 17 gs, not a concrete example of inflation figures and pricing but you see what I mean. Not to mention auto makers are legally required to design, develop and build alot more standard equipment into their cars these days, that's why cars are becoming more expensive, because they're better.
Hmm I bet they price this truck at 27K for the 2wd and 37K for the 4wd. That will put the 4x4 in line with Tacoma and Colorado.
I agree. Been driving trucks my entire life and - yes 4x4s were always a little overpriced but lately nearly untouchable. The difference between willing to pay 70K and irresponsible to buy at 70K is the point. Have to think about saving for School, Home, Elderly parents, and my own retirement. There should be a truck option out there for around 25-30K that isn't stripped to the bone.
Mike Sawyer it's called buy used I suppose... the market just isn't the same anymore.
square body, 2-door, low deck long bed rigs are not trending so I'll forced to look in the over 20 box.
although I've always wanted to swap in the new most efficient small displacement engine into an older truck not that it would be any cheaper I guess in the short run.
+Matt Man The Lariat is a mid-level trim. XL and XLT are the base trims.
Two of the trims go up to 70k. One is the Platinum which is the upper class luxury trim comparable to the GMC Sierra Denali. The other would be a loaded SVT Raptor, which is heavily modified and geared for high performance and desert running.
The F-series is actually the cheapest of fullsize line up.
+Mike Sawyer That's F-150 range, it will probably be cheaper than that.
I saw a 3.2L 4x4 XLT Crew cab Ranger with plates from Mexico parked in a mall parking lot in Glendale, AZ. I couldn't believe my eyes! I think they look great!
Duncan Paisley. Can a US Citizen go to Mexico and buy one?
They have this truck in Asia especially Thailand, and it’s a beauty. Glad to see it here finally!
We want the ausi diesel version damn it!!!
reed vending ah yes, the 2.3 diesel or the better 3.2 diesel. It sells all over the globe except the US.
Wouldnt be the same engine if they brought it here, emissions would kill it. Just like why the tacoma will never have the Hilux diesel. They cant build it clean enough to compete here
Duratec unit is Euro 6 compliant hence we send it to Europe
Actually we do have the 3.2 in the states, it's being used in the Transit van
forgot about that should be a South Africa Built unit (engine)
Compare to the European ford ranger , the US model is very limited with no diesel and only one engine option also no manual , ford is an American company why are they giving you guys left overs?
they dont like our sized vehicles
it seems like a market experiment offering us the bare minimum just to see if the mid-size truck that they have Force themselves to deny us will ever sell and even then they'll scale it so it doesn't compete with their own precious F-150 like they don't want to make more money
Not many American like to have smelly noisy diesel car and small truck, as for truck we like full size big ass truck just for the hell of them.
Ford should just import the Mexican ranger, at least those still come in manual
Good idea, and make Mexico pay for it.
For Towing and Hauling a manual is absolute shit
The Ranger for the rest of the world comes with 6 speed auto or manual in most countries
In Mexico there's a Diesel and a manual transmission available www.ford.mx/camiones/ranger/precios/
Just go down there and buy one, mine came with a free Mexican. Didn't realize that though until I crossed the border.
I don't see what all the fuss is about this engine/trans combo 300+hp with 350ft-lbs give or take a few mated to a 10 speed is going to be a killer combo. Sure its a 4cyl but its all about low end TQ in a truck which this truck will have plenty of and the rest of the segment simply does not. Most of the segment has all gone to a smaller v6 with high hp a crappy low end tq. Lets not forget a mild tune these engines gives a solid gain of 25hp and 50ft-lbs making this midsize truck 325hp with 400ft-lbs! This truck will be top dog in power, towing and mpg without a doubt, every competitor will be playing catch up for the next several yrs.
Bought one three weeks ago and love it couldn't be happier with it
2.3l ecoboost 4 cylinder engine the only engine option. This won't last more that 1 more generation unless they add a diesel or a v6 and be competitive with the others.
Sounds to me that it'll be at the top of the hill. The others will have to step up to be competitive with it!
Daniel Bell lmfao. They will be below the Honda Ridgeline in sales with only offering a crappy ecoboost that has coolent issues. Everyone was expecting a NA V6 and the 2.7l ecoboost on the FX4/Raptor. Such a disappoinment.
Ryan Edwards since when does the 2.3 have cooling issues?
The ecoboost 4cyl won't compete
It will defeat the others lol
Trevor C most want powertrain options and offering a 4 cylinder in a truck as the only option is going to be the rangers last show unless ford gets there head out of there butt with this ecoboost shit.
An XL work truck with a ecoboost engine? I can tell you right now that's going to hurt fleet sales, cost of maintenance, cost of insurance.
As for me personally the moment he said no manual trans that immediately took it off my options table. Looks like I'm going to get a Toyota
Adam Lemus me too
You're going to love the Toyota!
Adam Lemus why don’t people complain about the fact that the Chevy Colorado doesn’t have a standard trans. or a higher quality trim level? now do I think ford should put the new 3.3 v6 in there, yeah. But Ford knows what it’s doing and there will probably be a v6 option or a diesel option in the near future
bass master23 standard trans?? And you dont need a higher quality trim level when what you offer is legit. Much better than tacomas shitty interior
I'm not fully convinced they do know what there doing. They killed off the Ranger in 2011 and said that they will make the F150 more accessible to possible Ranger customers. Then in 2015 they bring put the aluminum F150 that starts at $30,000+. So much for making the F150 more affordable.
Then they said that they couldn't use the Australian Ford Falcon as the base of a Crown Vic replacement because it's too heavy. Ok I thought. Then they come out with a FWD Ford Taurus that weighs more then the Falcon did.
They keep contradicting themselves.
I've been excited for the release of this truck. I look at the "new" pictures of the Ranger and wonder why in the hell has Ford been wrapping the exterior in pre-release photo's? IT"S THE SAME TRUCK THEY HAVE BEEN BUILDING !! Oh ....sorry they did move the steering wheel.
Great overview Andre! Everything you shared was useful. You are one of the best parts of this channel! I can tell you are getting more and more comfortable and natural in front of the camera.
One - Grow a pair.
Two - Offer a manual trans.
Three - Offer a V8 or strait 6 turbodiesel.
Done.
Its just some advice.
P.S. make a good off-road version to compete with trd off-road/pro.
I miss the days of manual transmissions and manual windows in a truck.
buetang Well. You can still have manual windows at least.
Ha, for sure the less important of the manual desires.
Basic Nissan Frontier crank Windows and a stick...
Well I have manual windows in an 07 gmc serria. And I hate it. If I would have really thought it through I wouldn't have gotten the truck. Don't get me wrong, it's been a very good truck with minimal things wrong with it and I have had it 9 years. It is considered a work truck though. All it had in it was a radio. No cassette, no CD. Just a radio, and I had them put a cd player in it when I signed papers.
Nissan Frontier, my good man
If the fuel economy numbers turn out good, then it should sell very well.
sgj4aj It'll get horrible fuel economy. This truck is going to move like a Prius until you get it at 4,200rpm, and at that engine speed, you have no fuel economy.
Shit, my mom's Lincoln MKZ with 2.0 EcoJoke gets 17mpg highway on a good day, doing the speed limit.
The EcoBoost is an EcoJoke pushed with EcoBullshit.
"boosting" can only do so much for any vehicle, forcing more air into the engine also means the more fuel must go in too.
Morte Parla You do know ecoboost engines are designed for performance right? They aren't designed to be the most fuel efficient engines ever but rather offer high levels of performance in a more economical manner than like a big v8.
The problem is they aren't has reliable and don't sound as good while doing it, hence the ford raptor playing engine sounds through the speakers, (which is pathetic).
Puff the Magic Dragon It's in the title. It's in Ford's marketing. The ECO BOOST is supposed to be so great because it gets great fuel economy with great power, but that's bullshit. The EcoBoost gets worse fuel economy than V8's making more power, and my mind is blown as to how nobody has sued the shit out of Ford for releasing vehicles that get 10-15mpg less than advertised.
I'm fine with it, think it looks good. Let's hope it's not overpriced like the Colorado/Canyon.
That is one very solid looking midsizer. I really have had great luck with my Fords of all types but I've always researched reliability records in whatever models that I'm interested in for anything that I buy.
Great video. No annoying editing, and great information. Thank you!
in europe we get this with a 2.2L or a 3.2L inline diesels and 6 spd auto or 6spd manual ford is short changing u all in the us finally europe is getting a better specked out vehicle than the us
cordellej Lmao. You can start a business exporting manual transmissions to the US.
Its the first year of preduction give them a brake
Not a compact truck. It like 210"-215" long! Measure your garage before leasing or buying! It a midsize!
I really like the way it looks. And I do not understand people wanting an N/A V6 in this. Having owned a 2.3L EcoBoost equipped vehicle, its plenty of power and has way more torque than any of the N/A V6's.
They're the same people that's been pissing and moaning about a V6 in the F150. Small minded people with smaller dicks. If they made a 1 cylinder with 1,000 Hp and got 500 mpg it wouldn't please them because it doesn't fit with what they "think" should be in a truck.
Turbo 4 engines typically have more problems over a long period of time. N/a is less complicated therefore typically less likely to break or have problems. 2.3 isn’t a proven engine to most people’s eyes so they don’t want to bother gambling on a new complex platform instead of sticking to tried and true like a V6.
Because people don't want a tiny little four banger in their truck? It'd be different if it was diesel but having only one engine option bends this truck over the railing.
Fuel economy is everything now a days. Nobody cares about reliability or anything, when they break, through away and get another. That's how it is now, and I hate it
If fuel economy was everything, everything would be a diesel.
Honestly I think the only major disappointment for the truck is the lack of engines. The 2.4 Ecoboost maybe a reliable engine, I just think that a V6 or a diesel might also be good candidates. Still, it took chevy a while to make a diesel themselves, so maybe we'll just have to wait. All in all though, I can definitely see myself buying one of these in the future. Hope it goes well. :)
This is a nice looking truck. Whether or not people like the I-4 Ecoboost engine, it's still very refreshing to see truck manufacturers get the fuel economy under control. The brand new Silverado sounds like Chevy is really headed in the right direction there, while still offering impressive power plants.
310 hp and 350 pounds feet of torque is very nice especially from a four cylinder. I have a dodge Dakota with a 5.2 V8 with only 230 hp 325 pound feet of torque and it runs very strong will smoke the tires at will any thing below 30 mph
It depends on who that hp and tq is delivered. Have driven a few cars with small boosted engines. It seems its all or nothing. Not much happens until boost gets build then you have more power than you want or need
Jarrod Edelen ...That tiny inline four needs to be stoutly built in order to handle that kind of horsepower and torque, otherwise it is not going to last very long. Then all the money you saved on gas (and then some) will be spent on rebuilding or replacing the engine. I'd rather put more gas into something that's going to hold up for a very long time. It's cheaper in the long run!
That HEAD GASKET BLOWING 2.3 ECO BOOST MOTOR WON'T cut it in the long run,put the 3.5 INLINE 5 CYL POWERSTROKE from the Ford Transit, Then that would be good 👍
Ford engines are stout, unlike other brands
I honestly am so scared that other truck manufacturers will copy that stupid idea of putting engines made for cars into trucks. I mean don’t get me wrong, the original Ranger was fine with a four cylinder but it also was have the size of this one. This should at least have a V6.
This is same engine as Ford Explorer. And F150 has 3.5L ecoboost and is the tow-king of the F150 line-up.
Danny McCoy Volkswagen did it back in the 80's!
Your too late Tacoma's have a Lexus V6 3.5L engine in them its a car engine. The 4.0L that was in the Tacoma was adequate power for any towing I do but this 3.5L no way.
What a shame that there is no DIESEL engine option ! Having said that,.the 2.0 Turbo. engine in my Escape with 3500 lb. towing cap. is rather impressive, so maybe, just maybe this 2.3 liter Turbo engine will surprise us too.
We will have to wait to hear what the 'numbers ' will be, I guess.
Thanks to TFL Truck and Andre for this heads up information.
The standard Ford Ranger/Mazda BT50 down under gets 2.2L and a 3.2L Diesel engines the larger engine produces 200hp@3000 and 350 lb ft from 1500 - 2750rpm , towing capacity of 3.5tons and tub loading from 960kgs -1500kgs depending on the model and a 6 speed manual or 6 speed automatic transmissions.
Good looking truck but should have a v6 option.
For less hp & Torque?
Agreed. Best looking compact pickup out there, but I'm disappointed in the lack of powertrain options and the lack of a regular cab.
I agree I like the style but the v6 engine should be added. Hell it's needed! Lol
Jeff Southern more reliability. And it is known that car engines are detuned for truck use, so it is likely that the numbers will be close to taco numbers.
anajay78 only in Mexico, Phillipeans, South Africa, ect-have better choices!!!
What about a 2.7L Ecoboost option so you could have more power and torque. They need a v6 in the Ranger, it would be so quite fast. Why would you max out a 2.3L Ecoboost i4, which is found in the Focus RS, when you could put a 2.7L Ecoboost V6. Just like the last generation Ranger, there was a 2.3l i4 either in a 5 speed automatic or manual (2wd) only and a 4.0l v6 in either a 5 speed automatic or manual which was either a 2wd or 4wd. Yes there was a 3.0l v6 in a 5 speed automatic or manual but was only available in 2wd. The benefit is you now get a crewcab of some-sorts, that is a great positive. But what makes me mad is that there is no v6 option, come on it's a truck, maybe not a full-size truck but a mid-size and it needs a v6, and a i4 should be the basic engine and the 2.7l ecoboost v6 in either 2wd or 4wd as an upgrade. Finally, why push a well proven 2.3l ecoboost i4 on a truck that will probably weigh about 1.5 tons to 1.75 tons. Even if it had 300 hp it would still be quite slow because it is heavy. Put in a 2.7l ecoboost v6! This would make the best Ranger yet (no v8 is needed!) Thanks, have a good day!
Kienan Doench my 4.0L Ranger has 200+ HP and about 220 ish #ft torque at 3,300 RPM.
I never wished it had more power.. more low end torque for better MPG while towing my 3,000# mower trailer all summer would be nice
The 2.7 ecos have been plagued with major problems. The 2.3 is a fantastic motor.
James Cundiff the 2.7 ecoboosts have no issues. Stop trying to spread false information.
2.3L EcoBoost? The same open deck engine that is having head gasket and hydrolock problems? Wonderful choice Ford! (DAF)
Bodhissatva Texas that's the German made focus RS engine. Not the same engine. And it's a minor head gasket issue that is being corrected. Do research before you comment next time...
Sounds like a winner. I love the steel sides and bed, powertrain team, REAL steel bumpers (are you watching Toyota?!), and interior and technology features!
Lucas Cruz Bollocks. Toyota has their hands full with 3rd-Gen Tacomas that have no acceleration, the new 6-spd auto that has shift point issues, leaking diffs, leaking 3rd high brake light housings, soft paint, corroding frames and components, engines blowing raw oil, and numerous drivability issues.
But tell me again how they're laughing with previously loyal owners giving up on them and buying other models. The 2nd-Gen was solid - how could Toyota screw it up so badly is my question?!
*The 2.3L Ecoboost is World-Class and it would make an excellent truck engine.*
Welcome back old friend good to see your returning
Why ford pushing it's 2.3L turbo engines on heavy vehicles and claiming that it's superior to v8 work trucks. I'm not looking to track it. I don't want turbos. I want a solid v8 with 10-12 speed transmission. The 3L belongs on small 2 door coupe.
News that matter only in thebUS. Anywhere else this is a diesel.
News that matter because it’s selling like hot cakes and everyone wants one
Two-Face because people today are sheep and buy commercials
@News that matter - nobody puts V8's in small trucks you idiot
So go buy a gutless 400M F150 from the 70s so I can pull freight train lengths on it with my V6 F150
I would rather have a V6. Ford has had some carbon buildup issues with some of their turbo engines. It is a good looking truck.
Dennis W Those issues have since been resolved by adding port and direct fuel injection rather than just direct. It's not a ford issue, it's a direct injection issue, Hondas still have this issue, toyotas did, vw as well etc. Basically ford and Toyota have fixed the issue, not sure about those other brands.
Ford makes World-Class Turbocharged engines
I am just , flat-out dissapointed,,, WAY,.. way too many electronic gizmo's & needless toys that are BOUND to fail in harsh climate conditions, obvious to me FORD isn't interested in the common sense, or the needs of the low income buyer,, . Lariat package is a waste of money.
Well if want Cheap and Low Tech then you'll just have to buy something else.
Escape for Mankind is Keith Johnson ,, Henry just rolled over in his grave,, after hearing you say that.
Chuck Wiesner
There is no money to be made chasing the low income buyer . There are lots of Buy Here Pay Heres to cater to your needs
It’s 2018 stop your bitching
Failed? Seem to operate just fine in the Australian outback !
I gotta say as someone who could be buying a new car soon and someone who’s looking at compact trucks I am so excited for this truck...I hope I’ll be able to get one in my price range but looking at the f-150 and seeing some newer ones in my range I don’t see myself not being able to afford it
This truck has been in Europe for at least a year now I saw one there while on a trip to Poland it was the coolest thing I saw there lol
I’m definitely in love with this truck!
Disappointed
KELS KELS
Me too 😔
this Ranger is Gorgeous! I love it !!!
RockandRoll does look nice- but, we get a crappy motor while the whole planet gets better choices!
There are truck CATEGORIES, it's not everyfuckingsingle truck in the world made to have a 7.3 v8 engine with 500 Horsepower, most americans can't understand that. Ranger is such a beatiful utility that can handle everything and at the same time reach 210 kilometer per hour on highways, that means 66 kilometers per hour more than a F250 6.0 and the same to a F150 5.0.
I call this the best cost/benefit a truck have ever had.
It is going to be a Ranger that true Ranger fans are not going to want. And I can done see it is going to be so high priced it is not going to sell. It is going to cost almost as much as a F150, so why bother with it. Most Ranger fans just want a cheap basic pickup, with the option to deck it out if so desired. If they would make a basic standard cab, no frills, power and air, for just under $20,000 they could not keep them in stock. I guess I will just keep my 07 and 09 models, and when, in the near future, I decide to get another pickup, it will be a half ton Chevy.
this is not the ranger we all love and know. this is just a slightly smaller and weaker version of the f150..... i love you ford but you messed up. What we want is a small truck, with the 3.5 ecoboost, aluminum body and 10 speed transmission
Coming from a guy who lives in Australia and has had this the newer for ranger variations from 2011-2017 I can tell you these newer models are far superior to the old 2003 pk models trust me everything about them
“the ranger we all love and know.” Who knew there was such a following for a crappy rebadged Mazda.
So the 3.5 eco boost, aluminum, 10 speed ranger wouldn’t be “just a smaller version of the f150?”
the old rangers are seriously reliable trucks. amazing trucks.
Only a turbo 4 with auto--no manual, no diesel and no V-6 option. Congrats Ford, you created a toy truck...if I wanted one of those, I'd get the Ridgeline. Funny, we have to wait 8 years to get what the rest of the world already has but no real engines or transmissions. Pathetic.
Everything's Pathetic when you're broke.
Pathetic that the rest of the world had the truck since 2011--we finally get the thing and it can't be used as a truck. I've lived overseas and always liked the diesel small to medium trucks/vans for moving things. Giant trucks absolutely suck in most parts of the world when hauling smaller loads so things like Fiat Ducato or Toyota diesels squeezed through small spaces and got the job done. Ever try to squeeze a giant truck through small towns in S. Italy? You can't! Jeep is supposed to be coming out with a real pickup truck in a smaller size with a diesel--maybe. Screw it, Tesla will roll out something far superior to the Ranger toy truck so I'll pass on this one as Ford never really cared about US small trucks anyway. Write off the brand.
4 cyl ecopoop automatic? That’s a big negatory good buddy. Thanks Ford, you just saved me $35,000!
You don't know anything about it
Idiots fear what they don't understand.
I’ll stick with my 06 ranger, thank you very much.
The ranger is back! Kind wished the eco boost v6 was an option on the new ranger. But otherwise, can’t wait to see how the truck will do in terms of sales and how well it competes against Toyota, GM, and Honda
haha how did you predict the future?
@@HSstudio.Ytchnnl haha
You lost me at the power train options. For uber reliability- naturally aspirated is the way to go on gasoline engines. For pickups, leave the turbos in the diesels Ford!!! Tacoma is STILL my top pick. Colorado is a close 2nd.
The eco boost has many problems that show up pretty much at any agr of the motor
Sad
@Night Fury - normally aspirated has poor performance
@Jason Davis - yea, like what?
Not the same market, Ranger goes up against Hilux, Amarok, Navara etc
Get a frontier, there ancient, and don't get great mileage, but are rock solid, and have a 4.0 V6, just like the old rangers. Considering how old of design they are, they still sell a lot! That would be my top pick really......
I'll watch because Ranger but don't even worry aboit Silverado
Not the same class
Now what about the Bronco???
Wolfghost729 2 years
Ben A I know that but I heard they’re supposed to unveil it along with the Ranger
Look up Ford Everest, that's going to be the new Bronco.
Nope it's not. Far from it buddy actually.
Daniel Bell that’s not what’ll be
I hate theres no manual trans, but i like the seperated front bumper so u can add after market bumpers. Hopefully, ranchhand will make a replacement.
We already have these Ford Rangers here in Belize so if u guys want to get your hands on one these just come here and test drive one! The Rangers here are pretty much similar to the American ones.
So ford has basically said “David, go buy a Chevy Silverado”. Ok.
David Blalock - Livin' Life Silverado is a full size.
I had a 2000 ford ranger, this thing doesn’t hold a candle to it.
I’m sad to say it, but a lot of the design decisions Ford has been making lately is forcing me to look at other brands.
All this aluminum in their trucks, this insanity with all the dinky turbo engines that are going to destroy them financially when the warranty claim come piling in. They’re turning into euro trash.
Chevy is offering an in-line 6 baby-max engine in the new Silverado that has the potential to get north of 30mpg.
Chevy is speaking my language with that engine. If they also start offering a standard transmission behind it, I’ll be telling them to shut up and take my money.
David Blalock - Livin' Life different class.
Ford really mest this up..
again, the ranger is in the mid size class with colorado/canyon, taco, frontier. there is already the f-150 in the silverado's class, which would be the choice you are making.
Glad to see the Ranger back but my cons would be........
No engine options👎.
No long bed on extended cab👎.
The branding on the fender👎.
The popped out emblem on the tailgate 👎.
Most noticable, the front end looks to much like the new Edge ST and other Ford cars and SUVs👎.
I'll wait to see what 2020 brings. Besides, my 2016 F-150 is doing great 👍.
Karlos Montoya first year by 2021 it'll be way move options
I think it looks nice. Ford Edge is not even a bad looking crossover too. Pretty sure half of Ford’s lineup looks similar in a way. I like the branding, let’s people know ‘Hey look, I can go offroading’ 😂. Truly disappointed in the no engine options too. Looking to buy my first pick up, but I’d want the no cab. Just a single cab with the same feature an extended cab has.
I think the popped out ford logo is because it has the backup camera popping out the bottom edge. I THINK
Chris Perry Yes for sure. However, it's an old design. Relocated with a LED light similar to the NEW F-150. It's a LED, HD CAM world out there.
It's the new sleek design and smooth lines that says "The all NEW 2019 Ford Ranger". Then BAM, a protruding emblem from 5yrs ago.
Karlos Montoya gotya. I really wouldn’t know. Our newest vehicle is a 2012 Odyssey and my last ford was a 97 explorer sport. Haha
No way they are only offering a i 4 turboboost.👎
Tron Kleds
I’m shocked too buddy
Great presentation, Andre!! I can't wait, either. Oh, and you may be the ONLY person on RUclips who knows how to pronounce, "data!" Bravo, my friend!
We in Australia and New Zealand get the made in Thailand Ranger . A very good ute , we call them , but ours are powered with a 3. 2 ltr five cylinder turbo`d diesel , giving great towing power !! That`s it , the one engine size , no options , but everybody`s happy with that . The utility has a ton of power on the open road and is awesome off road as well . Cheers from downunder guys.
I'll take the Tacoma over this all day long
Canadian
Same here. I’ll even take a Frontier over this.
I work for the DOT of Louisiana, where we drive all Fords.
The V8s last, but the ecoboosts don’t. I think I’ll pass on this eco boost ranger, since I’ve seen them(eco boost) kill over at work.
Me too. I have a v6 taco in manual, 4x4 and love it. First foreign truck I ever owned and will not be going back unless the big 3 get their collective shit together. No manual option, no v6 option, pass.
I wish the new Tacoma wasn’t so watered down.. I know trucks arnt suppose to be fast but the new tacos are slug slow
JOSH Pittman Not really.... Look up races VS the Colorado. It's right with it and will last sooo much longer and not leave you stranded in the woods.
No updates on Ranger Raptor???
Joseph Handal I would love that truck
It's supposed to be a real thing! In the rest of the World they have what's called a Wildtrak, but only in Diesel. Interesed in what the Raptor Will have
the raptor have to be after the standard raptor... wildtrek is a trim package, not power
Yes , we are getting one a ecoboost like the US plus a tuned version of our lovely 3.2 5cyl TD
Joseph Handal
I’m surprised ur actually interested in a Ford ranger raptor, after seeing this video I’m disappointed on this new truck. And it’s ugly af too
One lame engine option, no real offroad package. Considering how much time they've had, this seems extremely half-assed. Ford had better be holding back a bunch of information for their official debut later today, otherwise they just handed GM a bunch of sales.
@Glen M - sure keeps the cost down and the profitability up
Fusion2016 thats a bold statement with no info to back it up.
Fusion2016 Yeah people keep saying "What is Ford thinking?!" "Aluminum body on a truck!?😂😂😂" Yet the F-series is destroying the competition. More like annihilating it. Maybe instead of copying the F-series with the 2019 Silverado, Chevy could do away with their bullshit condescending ads.
The FX-4 is the Off-Road package. Ford's 10-speed is evolutionary.
Ford makes the best Turbocharged engines in the business.
Escape for Mankind is Keith Johnson bullshit Cummins did.
I'm going to withhold final judgement until we see actual specs side-by-side comparisons with the competition, but I have to say I am SORELY disappointed to not see this come to the US with a diesel option. When I first saw these "new" Rangers in Australia and Asia I was fascinated and even MORE fascinated after talking to an Aussie in a pub in Sydney about his. Those Aussie's take their 4x4's seriously and he raved about the off-road performance and the comfortable ride and handling of the truck. I'll also say this: I've been IMPRESSED AS HELL by the 3.5 EB in my 2015 F-150 - the thing gets 20+ MPG loaded up with people and gear on road trips and really gets off the line QUICK when you put it in Sport mode and romp the pedal. Turbo lag is very minimal, and torque comes on pretty low in the RPM band, unlike a lot of previous turbo's I've owned. We'll see.... Hopefully the FX4 package is a "real" offroad package and not the gimmick it is on the F150 - Real skid plates, real lift, real tires (BFG KO's), AND LOCKERS!! The Colorado ZR2 has a diesel option, great ride/handling AND front and rear lockers....
My uncle has a 2016 Ford Ranger and it’s amazing .
Not really interested in the Bronco since they a pushing the Ecoboost.
DAVID WADE think they will use coyotes?
You won't like the Bronco, its going to be a rebadged Ford Escape or Ford Edge and no real axles and most likely another damn 4 cylinder power train and no manual transmission.
wanna see your future bronco?
check the australian everest, that's what you'll get
It's an SUV based on the ranger
DAVID WADE i
Well if they put the 5.0 coyote motor in there I'd be a buyer. Not a fan of EcoBoost engines. And seriously you can't get along bed version with the crew cab
Do you even realize what you just said? A 5.0 in a Ranger?
Thats overkill
yowza yowza ..ecoboost rules brah! nobody puts a V8 in a SMALL TRUCK. U bought a new truck in last 10yrs???
David Klimmek brah what are you 10 years old. Yeah actually I bought trucks in the past 10 years I have a 2011 Raptor and a 2017 Tacoma offroad
roadtoracesa.com/ranger-rtr-upgrades/
We get a version built aftermarket in SA
Crawl control is a gimmick
Since it’s a pickup I’m going to assume Ford has detuned this engine slightly for mpg and longevity, kinda like they did with the coyote in the f150. It’ll still make good torque though, I can’t imagine them offering the 310 or 320 hp variants in their base fleet models, I don’t know they might surprise us.
Andre, Great video! I just don't get how Ford is going to only throw a 4cyl in a truck of this size. I get its Turbo charged and that the F-150's have the small displacement Ecoboost's, however I feel they are making a BIG mistake as well as not offering a Long Bed Crew Cab option. I'd say 60% of the Tacoma's in my area are Long Bed Double Cabs and I'm seeing the same thing with the GM twins.
Ford should not worry about copying the looks of the Tacomas... they should copy the drive train and suspension instead. They should copy the reliability. They should copy fit and finish instead of using cheap plastic materials and beer cans to build trucks.Ford has no direction .. they follow whoever sells the most trucks in each segment.
I hear you the Japanese make the most reliable trucks for sure however I just cannot agree with the Tacomas bubbly style, it turns me off so much.
Wolffe I agree with you. I just bought a Ram 3500 myself. Its sad to me that an American company thats been around for so many years hasn't figured it out yet. Its just sad. Im not fond of the styling but tacomas are very capable trucks even though thirsty they still outsell every truck out there. Obviously people would rather give up precious gas mileage for reliability 👀🤷🏻♂️. Ford offers 10 dif engines for the f150 and they all suck. Make one good one and be done with it. Every year just improve and build on that. One 4 cyl one 6cyl ecoboost. Makes no sense to me.
I have a 1st gen tundra. Still own it after nearly 18 years.
cydonianman Im sure it will go another 18 💪
The Tacoma doesn't even touch Ram sales, and as far as I've heard it sounds like Toyota lost quality control on the new ones big time, and rattling cabins doesn't sound like a good fit and finish to me.
Also considering that the F-series is not just the best selling trucks, but the best selling vehicles world wide, who exactly are they following?
No manual? See ya.
Check out the Tacoma mine is a six speed 4x4 v6
One engine, no manual, I call bullshit!
Ford is smart unlike you. It keep costs down - genius
Great video I really missed the Ranger glad it's back. I can't wait for the Jeep pick-up to join the party
super excited about the new ranger. I have a 1990 sxt 4x4 and only thing i would upgrade to will be the raptor but now a new ranger I would possibly go for.
No manual transmission.....PASS. I'll stick with my older truck. This thing is just another manly station wagon. 4 doors, tiny bed, automatic transmission, too many foo foo nonsense. Another girl's truck.
Lester Suggs there's Toyota Tacoma as an option.
Hmmmm....only beginning with the Sport trim with the V6 and $34k. Boo. And that's in 4x4 only. Nope, Toyota is not an option.
Lester Suggs g.co/kgs/3DhGhC
4WD is not what I want. I live in Ohio today, and I have a 2WD truck. 4WD is a waste of money and fuel. My 2006 silverado is 2WD, 8ft bed, standard cab, manual transmission, 4.3L V6. I found it 2 years ago and have put $8k into it to have is mechanical sound. But, I will never be able to find this same configuration in a new truck. Because men have become lazy and women won't let me buy non-4 door trucks.
Lester Suggs I hear you man.......I miss my old '97 Nissan hard body stick shift....single cab....4 banger.....Now they're putting in things that you'll hardly ever use......old school truck always a good bet for me.
It looks like a chevy colorado
Stephen Tokarz looks nothing like the Colorado
Boo! No single cab!
Single cab? Where ya gonna stash your truck gun and bugout bag if'n ya only have a single cab?
J Thom
In my underground bunker made out of shipping containers obviously, and I'll jut put a turret mount on my roll bar for my gun.
like a lot of others on here, I was hoping for the 2.7l ecoboost. I have one in my f150 with 50k on it right now, and couldn't be happier. as for reliability, I'm more worried about the transmission than I would ever be worried about the motor.
