I have the Raptor Ranger and for the money it's the best riding, handling and comfortable truck I've ever owned, and im coming from a 2020 Ranger xlt fx4
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing your ownership experience, and keep enjoying that sweet truck! 😎
I would so trade in my Bronco for the Raptor.
I have a Bronco also and it's fun but the Raptor is just a blast lol
I prefer the center console to be low. I don't like the huge center consoles that come up high and cut into your front seat leg room. I hate it when I feel like my legs are down in hole.
Love the redesign of the Ranger. Hated the previous look. But man i hate that ipad infotainment and screen gauge cluster. Coming from a gen z-er not a boomer.
Haha I love that you clarified you’re not a boomer. I seriously don’t understand why every auto maker is bandwagoning on integrating their moderately slow operating iPad displays in their current generation cars. If they’re going to do that regardless of what people want couldn’t they at least be engineered better like Tesla. 🤦♂️
My opinion: after comparing and driving the new Tacoma and Colorado, I ordered the Ranger Lariat 2.7. Each truck has its good points, but the Ranger is simply a better truck overall…..in my opinion.
That’s awesome! I’m glad you found the right one for you and also test drove a few competitors.
When are they estimating delivery for your 2.7?
@@ChrisJones-yt8zpthey said it’s hard to estimate delivery dates, production is getting better, but still very uncertain; they hoped for 3 months; so for me that’s early September
@@GPCCPA Thanks. I've been debating ordering a 2.7 vs picking up a Ranger Raptor. I have an F150 Raptor right now.
Thank you for sharing the payload.
Of course! I try to include that photo in every full review video I do. Usually the numbers I find on the door are somewhat far off what Google provided payload numbers are for whatever reason. There must be a lot of variation between trim levels and options. 🙂
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 great job providing the photo of the payload for the individual truck. I have found the “max” payload advertised by the manufacturer to be a bogus number in terms of real world payload. Very few people will buy a base trim, no optioned, standard cab pickup and most dealers don’t stock them. Typically, as the options and trims go up, payload goes down. I have seen $70K luxury trucks with less than 1,000 lbs of payload. Completely unusable for my needs. Thanks again.
Thanks! I’m not overly impressed with this specific review of mine, especially because the wind noise was horrendous so I kind of rushed the video with mostly one take footage. But I try to include the payload on every truck. And like you said, when I’ve reviewed Silverado ZR2 Bisons they have a 1,048 payload lol 😂
Ford Ranger also did not do well during the 2019-2023 period due to a few things, parts used for say the Lariat were used instead for the Bronco or Maverick, IE LED headlights...but more importantly ford put Bronco on blast during that time rather than the ranger...trust me I was looking for a Ranger and finally found one in Oct of 22 but every time I called the dealers had nothing in stock but "Some were on the way!"
I think the 4th gen front is better looking, but the cluster is great on this 5th gen
on thing I think they didn't fix, that was sort of pointed out was the how low the middle part of the truck is, and the door panel...ugh, they're both at different levels, I didn't notice it when I bought the truck but now I know it...never had a vehicle where if I wanted to put my elbows on door and center and they're at different levels....it's annoying
Perhaps the seat was set high. It can be lowered.
I did actually move the seat around a little bit, but still to me it felt like you’re sitting on top of the vehicle rather than sunken into it. Not necessarily a bad thing, it was just that paired with the styling of the center console and infotainment display I wasn’t a big fan of that combination. Overall, it was a pretty fun truck to drive. 🙂
what was the real fuel consumption
That’s a good question but in my couple hours with the truck I wouldn’t have been able to get an accurate reading with how much idle and acceleration time the truck received.
Really disappointed in Toyota not having a V6 option and that’s what’s making want a Ranger! Nice truck 👍🏻
Contractors will thank Ford this feature: 48.2” between the rear wheelhouses, this is new for this generation. That means it’s 4x8 friendly; can’t say that for the Tacoma, Frontier, Colorado or Canyon.
Bonus point: the vents on the front fenders are functional. I discovered that after a test drive and felt warm air coming from them.
Nits:
Digital speedo readout is way too large. It screams at you. On my car, a Subaru Crosstrek, the readout is about 1/3 the size. It whispers to the driver, and is much more pleasant and less distracting.
Rear seat should have a 60/40 split.
Only the Raptor has a 4WD Auto mode. That should be available on all 4WD models.
I think the factory navigation is subscription-based. I don’t like that.
Wish they had retained the steel front bumper that the previous generation had. Yeah, I know the Raptor has a steel front bumper.
Great insight, thanks for writing this!
My family loves your reviews! ESPECIALLY, my mom! She immediately drops what she's doing whenever she hears your voice. Just recently, around 3am, dad caught her playing...Read more
Oh goodness lol 😂
It really needs a 4-Auto mode for us in MN. It is a deal breaker for me and I'm not getting a Raptor for that feature alone. Toyota only has it on the Limited at $55K+, but the GM twins have it all the way down the trim levels. It is a bit of a bummer because I really like this Ford. I'm also not interested in the Ridgeline. Maybe the Maverick really is always the answer...
4-auto is a truck game changer. Why don’t these manufacturers get it, lol.
There is a lever to lower seat. You do know that? IMO, Ranger has the most comfortable seats in class. I've sat in them all and the Ford is the best by a long shot.
Yeah, I do, but thank you for sharing that! I had it lowered just a bit from how it was when I first got into the truck. For whatever reason though it still just didn’t feel right to me. 🤷♂️
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 probably your body habitus. By any chance have you been driving a tacoma? In that cabin you sit on the floor with legs straight out. I can't stand that but some might be used to that. You definitely won't like a range rover. You sit almost upright on that.
I’ve actually driven about 75k miles in Tacomas (I use to own a second and third gen). But that was way before I started making car videos part time. I would be curious to see how those trucks feel now that I have my current perspectives and experiences to draw from. They were both manuals, and I’m sure the shifter throw length and numbness would feel very disappointing lol. 😂
If they are not available they don’t sell. In the Midwest you almost never see any on a lot.I have yet to see a new 2024
Good point! I’ve also hardly seen any, it took a while for me to even find this one, lol.
I want a Ranger KingRanch with the 3.0 V6
That would be cool!
I test drove a Ranger XLT FX4 last weekend thinking it was the one because it had the least worst back seat (I’m 6-3), better fuel mileage, and the fold down back seat. Wasn’t that bothered by the iPad screen until I test drove a Colorado Z71 right after. MUCH better layout for the screen. Totally worth giving up a headlight switch and some back seat utility.
I’m glad you found the right truck for you! I’ve driven a few of the new Colorado and Canyons, I’ve even compiled a 0-60 video of them. They’re very sharp looking trucks!
Good Choice. That touchscreen in the Ranger is awful (ergonomically). My bother-in-law has a new Colorado and it's a great truck.
I assume your (6-3)ness will be sitting in the 'front' seat (laughing)...
@@devildog5354 Ha, very true, but I do pity anyone that has to sit behind me!
The payload is only 1500 lbs while the taco is 1200 across trims 😂
Nice job Ranger! The ZR2 Bison Silverado only has a payload of like 1,048 from what I remember from my most recent review lol.
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 When you add tons of weight with the underpinnings it always takes away from capacity. This effects ALL oems. P4X, ZR2, Raptor, TRD pro etc.. all suck as far as tow/bed capacity. But that is not what they were built for.
💯 but I still think the ZR2 payload rating is funny. 😆 I’ve reviewed a Raptor R but I can’t remember what its actual sticker rating was, so it must have not been terribly low to not be memorable. Both were very fun off road trucks.
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 Ranger Raptor has payload of 1411 lbs and 5510 tow. Raptor probably has higher bed capacity because normally can carry 1860 which is impressive for a mid size. You can also put a pallet of pellets in that but not quite. Also I'm surprised the Raptor can only tow 5510 lbs. Even my 2019 Pro 4X can has a tow capacity of 6100 lbs. Personally if I bought the Ranger I'd get the base 2.3 eco. Its the most reliable motor Ford makes. That 3 liter is nice and has allot of power but has historically had problems. Even the 2.7 has been trash in allot of the broncos. Nope, that 2.3 is the way to go and it still has the same tow/carry numbers. I also test drove a ZR 2 back in 2019 and agree that suspension amazing. Those multimatic shocks is like riding on air. My dealer has three of them for 49K bucks. Its tempting considering how expensive the raptor and TRD pro are going to be.
Looks good, but it's too big.
Compared to a third gen Ranger this feels like a super duty lol.
My first pick-up truck was a used 1987 stripo Ranger reg cab. Compared to this new one it's like one of those 6v battery kiddie cars by today's standards. This new Ranger is still smaller than an F150 for sure but it's not a small truck.
The touchscreen is a deal breaker
That vertical screen is horrible. Just like it's horrible in Teslas....
I will say after driving a few Teslas and what I’ve seen in my brothers Model Y Performance their screen and software is way better than any other auto makers vehicle I’ve driven. But I still prefer physical knobs and buttons.
I'll keep the $50K +$10K (interest & taxes) in my pocket and keep driving my 2006...
An 06 3rd gen Ranger sounds like a good little truck!
@@AutomotiveAnonymous208 Sorry, it's a Frontier with 6MT...
@@devildog5354 Yes the Frontier was loads better then the last gen Ranger every day of the week and twice on Sundays.
@@HiPlains1 The old Rangers never had a crew cab either; had to get a Sport Trac if one wanted a midsize Ford...
All these people doing 0 60 at 3000+feet of elevation. Meaningless
Lol, I mean it’s meaningless for those who live as sea level, but not for us who live at altitude. 🤪🤷♂️
If i wanted an Ipad... i would get one (dont want one).... so yeah i dont want one in any car.
It seems like most automakers are starting to push that style of infotainment screen. I don’t recall if it’s the NCAP or some other EU testing organization that’s recently took a stand from some features not being screen controlled for the vehicle to be able to be rated with the highest safety ratings. So there is hope, lol. Screens look good, but we’re already surrounded by to many screens in life. 😬
Can’t please everyone. If they didn’t have it, they would get dogged for not having a big screen like every single other truck manufacturer.
Very true!
Yeah it's cool and all, but the only people I see that seem to be able to afford one are you review guys. Nobody is buying these overpriced trucks. I'll take half this truck for a quarter of the price before I spend any money.
XL is 37K
This 5th gen has traveled a long ways away from Kansas with toto riding shotgun compared to what the first 3 gen’s had been!
Nobody? They sell out every year and most evey pickup sold. Hundreds of thousands of trucks sold. I’d never buy a new truck today. Way too expensive, but obviously many many people can afford it
Taco is overpriced
GM sold a ton of trucks last quarter. They seem to be killing it of late.
