I like to hear the engine that is in it no matter what it sounds like. Once you get used to it, you can identify problems early and get them fixed.

Updated the Gladiator Fuel Tank to 22 gallons. Was also able to get rough crawl ratios calculated from that info. Thanks!

Thanks!

I have been working on adding quite a bit of info to the comparison. Updated - All info is now based on Crew Cab short bed variants to enable to best comparison across the board. New - Approach/Breakover/Departure angles have been added as well as Ground Clearance and Crawl Ratio. *** Fields...

Expect to have to at least level the front of the truck out for those tires to fit. You might even have to do some creative trimming up front for turning clearance. Full lock in reverse is usually where you will hear rubbing.

I have seen similar gains on the 2.3L in the Mustang. Excited to see how much can be unlocked in the Ranger variant.

Updated Comparison One thing I plan to address is the lack of a 6 foot bed on the crew cab. The other trucks have 6 foot bed options with crew cab and that is reflected in the wheelbase making the comparison slightly skewed. It could also slightly impact a few other stats.

I updated it last time. I think I will do that again as well as post in-line to reflect the changes. Should be able to get that done today.

I added that information to my spreadsheet yesterday morning. Thanks for the heads up though!

Pulled a few more stats out of that I haven't seen anywhere else. Thanks!

There is a long article speculating that since the world Ranger is going to be due for a facelift in a few years, Ford will likely wait till the new body style to put a Ranger Raptor out in the US.

My bad. You are correct. I just remember having to get out in horrible conditions to lock the hubs.

Makes me wonder if swapping button wiring with a tune change would make it disabled by default and then when you hit the button it would enable and light the button telling you it is on.

The only trucks that feel the same stock vs lifted are the Canyon/Colorado Diesel and the Nissan Frontier. • The Canyon/Colorado diesel feels fantastic lifted due to all the torque and actually starts to roll in idle when you take your foot off the brake. This truck actually felt better lifted...

On thing that is unique about this is there are bumper flares that extend the front bumper out to match up with the fender flares. Painted in that gloss black it is hard to tell but they are visible. Bumper flares are interesting and definitely give the truck a bit more of a finished appearance.

You will either need to have the speedometer recalibrated at the dealer, or buy a unit that will do it for you.

Your truck likely had a manual locker built into the rear wheel hubs. Drove an older SuperDuty (work) that we would have to manually lock the rear diff by twisting the lock caps. The E-Locker just means you don't have to get out of your vehicle.

Looks like the new Ranger is about 25-30% larger than the previous truck. I can handle that!

Easily the best thing GM has come out with in the past few years as far as I am concerned! For me, I drive an Altima currently. It handles great as it has a relatively low center of gravity. Aside from that, I won't miss it at a all. Time to get back into a Ranger!

That F-150 is also made out of enough Aluminum that they claim over 700 lbs of weight savings from the previous steel version. There isn't enough Aluminum in the Ranger to make that kind of weight savings. So even at 4,200 lbs, it would be impressive.
