Curious why the Ranger will be able fit the same tires as other vehicles with less of a lift? Does it have more fender clearance from the factory than the competitors?
Have you seen the Ordering Guide @ https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/official-2019-ranger-order-guide-released.1004/
It has all the different tire sizes and tire specs you can order.
Thought this would make for a good separate thread. The owners manual says you can run regular gas (87 octane) in the 2.3L ecoboost Ranger, so that leads to the natural question if higher octane gas would yield more power. The easy answer is yes, but how much power difference?
Tuners have...
Yeap tat's exactly what some tuners have done. Here's one by Speedfactory where they dynode Ecoboost Mustang running 87 and then 92. The biggest gains for 92 octane vs 87 octane was above 4500 RPM, with a peak increase of +22 whp / +4 wtq when running 92 octane.
Probably nobody knows yet. Even the most current Order Guide (see https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/official-2019-ranger-order-guide-released.1004/) doesn't say what the optional tires are yet. Just says A/T OWL (All Terrain / Outlined White Letters) for now.
The BFG K02 do come in...
Not replacing but adding to my 2017 Focus ST. Been real happy with it and I've always wanted a badass Ford truck so here I am :)
Some of you guys look like you'll be making a major upgrade from your older pickups :like:
It's not a from-the-ground-up new model, but more like an update of the already existing international Ranger right? If that's the case then the electronics shouldn't be all new and should already have had its early teething issues fixed.
True but Ford has already dropped hints of it coming to the US. Ford Product Communications Manager Mike Levine previously tweeted "Today’s announcement is about the launch of the new Ranger Raptor in Asia Pacific markets. We'll have more to share about Ranger Raptor at a later date." when asked...
FCA has Ram and the Jeep brand has always been about lifestyle/adventure more than work and especially since it will be based off the Wrangler with few modifications I dont think it will have the same work/utility purpose as the Ranger. That and as misanthrope said, the pricing also suggests this.
Welcome to the site and thanks for sharing this info. If that's true then I wonder when the second run will begin. These things are gonna be pretty rare sights for a while if only half the dealers in the country are getting just one Ranger for a while.
Yup that's music to the ears of those of us willing to tune! Knowing that the engine is purposely restricted for lineup hierarchy reasons. Means plenty of power left on the table ;)
At this point - by August-September every year, vehicles in the U.S. are tagged as next year's models. So even if the Ranger Raptor was already announced for the U.S and started production next month, it'd still be a 2020 Ranger Raptor. With the speculation that it might be announced at LA in...
The output for the 2.3L EcoBoost engine covers a really wide range depending on the vehicle.

Yea the pricing is basically the same across the board on all 3 models. Mid-20k for the base models and the highest end model (Lariat with Off-Road package) priced low-mid $40k to compete with Colorado ZR2 and Tacoma TRD Pro. The shootout comparisons are gonna be interesting to follow!
