I was wrong!
Somewhere on this site I complained that Ranger didn't have any trailer sway control since it didn't have a brake controller...
Here is a great comparison of the Ranger to the Taco towing a 5K trailer up the mountains in Colorado and at 15:55 minutes into the video it shows that...
I think you should also compare 4WD versions as the Gladiator is only offered in that configuration and make the chart more of an apples to apples comparison.
If that were the case the crew cab Ranger payload is 1500#'s
Also, you could use the JL fuel rating as a rough estimate until the...
I have a 2016 F-350 diesel also so if I want to tow anything bigger than my kayak trailer it's not an issue but for many guys who don't have the luxury of having two Ford pick ups I think it's misleading of Ford to advertise the tow rating of 7500 pounds right from the factory.
In 2006 when I...
Forget about the 2.7 Ecoboost...
You cannot get a factory integrated brake controller in the new Ranger and depending on the laws in your state you will not be able to tow a 6000 pound trailer without one...most states require a brake controller if your trailer is over 1500 - 3500 pounds...
Those are respectable number for a 4x4.
When I drove the truck at Expo East with a total of 3 people in it I was happy with the acceleration so these numbers are very respectable.
If aftermarket support is what you're interested in you should take a serious look at the Jeep Gladiator that is coming out in the 2nd quarter of '19.
There is already a ton of support for it because it is based in part on the JL Wrangler...
Just came back from Expo East.
It was a huge rain event so the test track they had set up was not used. Instead they let us drive down a gravel road (at about 10 mph) and then a short section of paved road...
It really didn't do anything to showcase the capabilities of the truck but the seats...
I just came back from the Ranger Event at Expo East and I was able to look through the display and found 22.8 and 23 mpg shown on short test drives.
I would expect better highway mileage.
Guys...do any of you remember that Ford Exec's were telling everyone that the Ranger was dead and to just go buy a F-150 and be happy??
The public said otherwise and now we have the Ranger coming in a few months. The RR is becoming available in other countries first (like the Ranger) and has...
Hi guys!
My name is Eddie and I live in Virginia. I'm a car/truck guy and am looking forward to seeing the new RR come to the states, hopefully with the diesel as has been shown on the video.
