I guess I'm in the minority here but I dig this redesign. I wish it had the steps on the bed and we'll likely see a swap to them or an aftermarket solution shortly after they are released in the US.
I like the 5g too, but with its 11+ year old interior and a bed too small to put sheets of wood...
Exactly. I lifted the wife's Subaru with overload springs because it was always sagging when we had it loaded or pulling a trailer. Haven't had an issue since.
I want to lower a ranger because the bed rail height is higher than f150s that I've seen them next to. It will actually make the bed...
That's what I'll do when I can get my hands on a 6g.
Lifted trucks serve no purpose for me when 99% of my driving is on pavement and the other 1% is just dirt/gravel road.
I don't hate it. I still like the 6g ranger more.
Depending on the configuration allowed, I may jump to it if ford doesn't get off their ass and get the 6g announced and available in the US.
gas mileage, capability, and ability to fit in a garage.
The ranger has more towing capacity than my 02 f150, is the same length, and gets significantly better gas mileage. Probably a lot easier for my wife to drive as well.
I'm hopeful for them to come out with the release of the 24 ranger in the US.
PHEV would be best of both worlds for many.
I wonder how this would affect tuning options. I still like to mess with my vehicles, and if I can't tune it to get more power / make it more fun to drive (while using the...
I don't know who started it, but fuck be upon them.
I was really interested in an electric motorcycle until the company went that way. Same battery installed, but limited to charge only 80% of it unless you paid extra. Same battery charger, but limited to half speed unless you paid extra...
yeah, never going to buy a subscription to "unlock" features that are already installed.
Making a product then purposefully limiting it to charge a subscription is bullshit.
Over 8 years if driving the average of 12k miles/yr.
I'm not saying that its worthless to do, just that its minimal in the grand scheme, as its less than $0.63/day savings in the scenario presented.
The rear of the ranger is too high, I agree with OP.
I saw a '14 or so f150 driving next to a ranger and the ranger was taller.
You shouldn't need to get INTO the bed to get things out.
When I was looking at a 5th gen I priced out the lowering kit and was ready to order it as soon as I found...
I never know when I'm going to need to use one of my trailers. And I don't want to drive 30 minutes home then back to get the trailer. Storing a rusty piece of metal in my vehicles seems dumb when it has its place in the hitch to live.
The part of the regen cycle I was referring to was just that it runs under set conditions for a period of time.
I think aux fuel kits already exist for the ranger and could be used to implement something like that even if it was manual.
