    I am getting the Ranger because I want to downsize from a full size truck. Full size trucks have just grown to monsterous proportions. They are too big any more. I am tired of having to use a ladder just to wash the hood and windshield. The Ranger is more maneuverable and has a nice ride IMO, yet still has good towing capacity and payload for what I will use it for. So it is the best of both worlds for me.

      On the other side of things the push button starts kia/hyundais were huge targets for easy thefts because the system was easily faked and people were just driving off with the cars in under a minute. If one manufacturer can be hacked so can the others. A key at least slows them down a little.

    • @HawkeyeRides
      @HawkeyeRides  22 дні тому +1

      Because the Maverick doesn’t have them it may take a couple years before Ford adds it as this helps push buyers to the F-150. They have heated seats on the Lariat though.

    • @spyder000069
      @spyder000069 2 години тому

      Doubt they will add those. They didn't change the last gen ranger through its run. The way the economy is going people can't afford full size which is why mid size is selling well. However, even mid sized at $40-$50k is still crazy $ especially with the high interest rates. I would be surprised if we see an economic bounceback in the next 4-5 years (expected time between model refreshes) and I expect we are going to see the car market suffer and have to shift back to econobox cars again. I don't think they will make changes that would jump the price on the ranger and as haykeyerides mentioned those would be features that push someone (who could afford it) into a luxury priced f150.

      Tacoma and nissan frontier are your only options for 6ft bed at this point. The majority of mid size truck buyers are buying family haulers so that is where ford/gm have decided to draw a line.

      @spyder000069 Годину тому +1

      I've looked at the frontier several times and I like the idea of the old school powertrain. However, as mentioned the torque and payload are much better in the ranger. The infotainment/camera system in the frontier are not great quality, its lower to the ground, the rear seat is almost verticle, and there is no integrated brake controller. Also nissan slaps you in the face by making a $500 off road recovery backpack with an amazon first aid and tow strap mandatory on pro4x models. The ranger ticks a lot of boxes but the powertrain of the nissan is pretty reliable and ford's recall situation has been out of hand over the last couple of years.
