I would buy a Lariat Tremor today if there was a SuperCrew/longbed option. Hopefully they will address this literal shortcoming in the next generation?
Nissan just unveiled their 3rd gen Frontier today. A respectable redesign with class leading 310HP. It will also be offered with two cab and two bed configurations. This new Frontier is due out this summer, so it will be competing with the 5th generation Ranger. It will be interesting to see...
I 100% agree with pretty much everything you just stated. Can you imagine if Ford brought the 5th gen Ranger to the NA market back when it hit the other global markets? With the Tacoma not getting an update until ‘16, the Ranger would have definitely shook up the midsize market. So foolish of...
You have a very good point about how the Ranger was launched in a piecemeal approach to the NA market. Part of that strategy I believe is to keep it somewhat relevant considering this truck design was 5 years old before we even got it.
Hopefully Ford will roll out the next gen Ranger like they...
With the Maverick slotting in below the Ranger, I can see it growing an inch or two in a few dimensions to better split the difference between the F-150 and the Maverick. I would be all for that, but I’m also looking to down sizing from a ‘02 F-150. With more cab/bed configurations for the...
I sure hope you are right about a number of bed configurations?
If so, I’ll be ordering a SuperCrew/longbed Lariat with the Tremor package. This would be the perfect base overland rig right from the factory.
Hopefully this next 6th generation will offer a SuperCrew/Longbed (6 foot) configuration!!! Ford is the only BoF midsize not to offer this configuration and the only reason I’m not driving a Ranger now (my current truck is a ‘02 F-150 Lariat SuperCrew)
I don’t want a full size and I don’t want...
I totally agree. When people begin to cross shop brands, one of the first things people do is build the vehicle online they are hoping to buy, get a list of specs and an MSRP to go with said build.
I had no problem going onto the Toyota website today and virtually building my “perfect” 2021...
Hello all, I’m new to this forum and this is my first post. I have been pretty much obsessed with the 5th Gen Ranger since it’s development phase before it was available in foreign markets, let alone NA market. My current daily driver is an ‘02 F-150 Lariat SuperCrew. It’s been a great truck...
