I like most everything about my 2020 Lariat. My only complaint is that it seems to "lug" at low speeds. Most of my driving is local and slow and it seems to want to use fifth gear at 25MPH. I think a lower gear might be better. The truck is lightyears ahead of the 2016 Canyon SLT that it replaces.

Like: Most everything.

Dislike: No port injection. *I should clarify; no port injection along with the DI as the F150 EcoBoosts do have.

I pretty much like everything about my Ranger. Yes there are a few small things I would like to see improved and/or changed. Ford needs to put the plastic ring around the ignition switch in at the factory for one. Another thing I would like to see is if you buy a Ranger with the factory tow package, I feel that they should include the brake controller since they are proud of the towing capacity. I would also like to see a driver's side grab handle as an available option for those of us that want it. Like I said, not really complaints, just things I would like to see improved on.

As far as how the Ranger rides, I have the STX 4x2 Super Cab and it is smoother than my 2016 Jeep Cherokee Latitude both on and off road. I definitely can't complain about the fuel economy of the Ranger, especially on the highway.

I enjoy everything about the truck and don’t dislike anything, just wish it had cooled seats and oem aux switches like some of the models of the Bronco.

I agree about the cooled seats. We've been between 118-120 this last week & needless to say it's been a been difficult to want to drive it for the first 15 minutes

Likes: the power, fuel economy, the handling off road (with the Ford/fox upgrade)
Dislikes: the placement of the lights on the HVAC system, they seam like they should be above the floor/dash'/defrost buttons

Likes: ALMOST everything.

Dislike: Lack of backseat storage and that the seat doesn't lay flat. And no cooled seats. That black leather gets really warm in the sun :confused:

But the dislikes can be VERY overlooked because of how much I love this truck...much to my wife's chagrin ?‍♂ I should just nickname it "The Mistress"

I like the styling because it reminds me of the 97-03 F-150, which IMHO was the pinnacle of Ford truck looks and design.

I don't like the 5' bed on the SuperCrew. I need the larger bed, but I have kids and need the larger rear seats.

This is my pre-order opinion. My only experience with the truck was test driving a Lariat FX4. Loved the power. Didn't notice the mushy brakes everyone is referring to. Guess I'll need to drive another one and refer to @P. A. Schilke brake improvement write up.

Really like the overall style and looks of them,but really dislike the brakes.Big ole mush peddle......
I agree. constantly get comments about its looks when I'm at stores.

But those brakes.. there have been a few times I've found the truck creeping forward when at a stop because I wasn't pushing the pedal hard enough and didn't notice.

Love the power-train, Sport mode, the quietness of the cabin, the B&O music, the technology; hate(d) the stock suspension, easily cured with a leveling lift.

Have you tried "Sport" mode? I had those issues in "Drive," which is why I don't "Drive" much any more.
