Solid frame. Enjoy the Video

You are correct. It's going to be a new truck and I believe it will have a full electric option. I imagine it will have similar dimensions as the Rivian. Ford has invested 500 million with them and Amazon has provided another 700 million. Their truck will be out at the end of the year. From...

I’d say with 99% certainty that the new 2022 Ranger will have fold up seats and be 60/40. Many of the new Bronco parts will be shareable. I’d see if you like the Bronco interior when it debuts in the spring and decide whether or not to wait. I have decided to wait it out.

Lipstick on a pig as far as the Ram is concerned IMO.

It was widely reported from the beginning of the launch by Ford insiders that the current Ranger is a placeholder for an all new Ranger (2022 model) and Bronco (2021 model). The Bronco will be released first followed by the Ranger. IMO, The purpose of this Ranger was to create a placeholder in...

As long as Rangers are priced within a few thousand of F150s and get about the same FE as the 2.7 F150, they will be low volume sellers.

Subaru dealer by me uses an orange construction cone for demo. Find one and try it. Won’t hurt anything if it doesn’t work.

Adjusting the tilt where you’re thigh rests is a big factor. I have chronic arthritis in my right knee from sports and have had to learn how to deal with finding a seating position in new vehicles. 1. Try to get used to your hip being even or above the top of your thigh. Like how you sit in a...

Will lock with faraday bag.

you can hide the key in a faraday bag to keep them from using it. Also you need to secure the key inside the house because someone can copy electronic signal if key is kept close enough to the exterior of the home for the signal to reach...

The extra maintenance when towing and low tow rating killed any thought of getting one for me.

Grapevine Ford just west of Dallas had seven or eight crew cabs last week and they are down to two. The downward bump in price got them off the lot in just a few days.

Congrats, I’m sure you’re going to enjoy your Ranger once it finally makes it. Hopefully you get some last minute Memorial Day cash incentives to make the wait worth it. I’d definitely be checking cars.com to see if other dealers are lowering prices to pressure your dealer if need be.

Yep the Gladiator already has 25k orders and most dealers are waiting on first ones. Should see Ranger discounts starting popping up as invoice builds. I’m seeing the Lariats move quicker off the lots here in the Dallas area than the XLTs which is interesting.

For me there is no where to put my dog box. Either the seat needs to fold up like the Ridgeline or gladiator or down like the Tacoma and GM. Even better if it did both. The 2021 Ranger will for sure.

I read an early review that the Gladiator did very poorly on Ike Gauntlet test towing 7k and did marginal on flat tow with around 4K. Video will be out on tfltruck.com soon. So anyone with towing as a requirement should feel good about buying the Ranger.

Yea silly they didn’t have that fixed at roll out. Be interesting to see what the Tacoma and Tundra look like on a shared frame. Guessing the Tundra shrinks as the F150, Silverado/Sierra, and Ram continue to pound it in sales numbers

The Ranger in 9,10, and 11 was a solid truck. Let’s hope the 19 does as well. I’d be willing to bet my Ranger cap against ? that it does not score as well as the Tacoma in its refresh year 16 or 2019, your pick. See the Consumer Reports used car guide and look at the last ten years of...

Yep but most of those issues relate to a matter of opinion (transmission shifting and engine power, low seating position, ect). Also have to consider they sell around 200k trucks per year, so percent wise there are more issues. The vehicle is performing as the Atkinsons engine cycle is...

Let me start with the Ranger seems to be a great truck. I would not have an issue with purchasing one. I always try to purchase vehicles assembled in the USA and American made full-size trucks and SUVs have always shown positive long term reliability and durability yields. The point I was...
