Everything on this Ranger looks old. I understand that there's an all new Ranger in the plans, but you'd think they could have at least made it look like they tried on this iteration.

2013 F-150 stopped at 95, which is horrendous when you're a truck length ahead of a guy in a Powerstroke who thinks he's hot stuff. :angry:

For whatever it's worth, they just added ESS to the Jeep Wrangler for 2018 as well. My ESS system died after 6 months of use. They put a new Intelligent Battery Sensor on it (this is usually a sensor on the negative post of the main battery). Next they replaced the aux. battery (vehicles with...

Looks like the DIESEL engines are the ones getting 25 MPGs. The gas engines are doing around 20, give or take a couple depending on owner. That's perfectly in line with other vehicles in the Ranger's class with V6s. Will be interesting to see what kind of real world MPGs people are getting...

I'm a GM hater, but the LS engines are superior for a swap project because they are cam-in-block, pushrod, port injection and therefore they're simple, rugged, easy to swap, easy to work on, and cheap to add power adders to. I really wish Ford had offered more than one engine option, but that's...

If the axle is NOT a limited slip axle, that's odd. Reason it's odd is because it's the same axle used in the Jeep Wrangler JL where they ALL have limited slip differentials, unless you select the Rubicon trim level which gives you a different version of the axle which is wider and has an...

I think the latest MotorTrend comparison that came out this week sums it up nicely. The Tacoma looks the best in the segment, but overall it's the worst truck in the segment. The ride is awful, the brakes are awful, the engine is awful, the transmission is awful, and the interior space is even...

So, if I was a guy who ordered a 2019 Ranger, waited 4-6 months for it, and paid $40k+ for it when it finally arrived, and then 30 months later Ford dropped a truly all new Ranger, on an all new platform, with the 2.7L option and a Raptor variant.... I gotta' say I'd be ticked off. I may have...

Yes, Tacoma leases were $289/month...but I decided to go with the Jeep instead. I don't know about Colorado because after being stranded by GM trucks 3 times in 3 years, I'll never touch another one.

The news coming out this week is that this Ranger (which is actually an older truck) is only going to be on sale for another 24 to 36 months. The all-new Ranger will share it's platform with the all-new Bronco in 2021. SO... taking that into consideration I would personally try to get the...

$400+ on a lease is insane. That means they are giving you a terrible residual value OR they are hiding a ton of money in the deal and screwing you over. If FCA can lease Wranglers and Ram 1500s for $279/month and still make good profit then there's no excuse for Ford or GM to be getting...

I have not driven one, so I cannot comment on ride quality. But I find their gripes about it being an old truck to be valid, and their comments on the interior looking horrible also valid. There's nothing truck-like about that interior at all. So, I assume that if they're willing to be...

Well, I posted a link to a magazine review where they discussed the ride quality specifically. It would have been helpful in this thread. But, apparently a moderator moved it. Sorry.

Ouch. https://www.motortrend.com/cars/ford/ranger/2019/2019-ford-ranger-first-test-review/

The all new Wrangler has a ZF sourced 8-speed auto and several guys on that forum have had trans. leaks and issues already. Is the 10R80 that Ford uses actually a ZF design, or is it something Ford/GM designed and built in-house? That sucks and I hope they take care of you. Coolant will...

Softer doesn't always mean better ride. There are a lot of variables at play. Sometimes the "off road" models of vehicles actually ride better because of better shocks, coils, tires, etc. that come in those packages and therefore less rebound in the suspension over expansion joints and pot...

Wife and I have had literally dozens of vehicles over the last 15-20 years. In my experience, Ford F-150 is one of the least expensive vehicles to insure. I've also noted: -Foreign brands like Toyota and Nissan are a lot more expensive. Domestic brands are less expensive. -Insurance...

If Ford advertises a 7,500 lb. tow rating on this truck and doesn't even give a pigtail to wire a brake controller into, that's mind boggling. Especially in the year 2019. I'm following this thread.

First of all, you have to define "best". Best means different things to different people. If it's reliability you're after, the Nissan actually goes to the top of the list. It's been out for 14 years now and there are hardly any problems remaining with them. I had a 2013 model and other than...

MUCH nicer gauge cluster. XLT with the Sport Appearance Package to get rid of the chrome is where it's at!
