I came from the Focus with the non-turbo 4 cyl. The Ranger doesn't even compare, but I had to drive it to believe it. I had a Chevy Silverado with the 2.7L 4 cyl as a rental a couple years ago, it was alright but was a bit anemic (granted it is a full-size). The Ranger is much more responsive.
Nice Bronco Sport!
My Mom has one in Area 51 with the Badlands trim as well. Smooth ride, plenty of power with the 2.0L, and super capable on and off road.
