Maybe we should all get a Soundracer V8.

On the Mustangs you just pull a fuse. I believe it will probably be the same on the Ranger. I think it sounds better with it. It just adds some bass to the tone.

This sounds like the best engine in the segment!

I'm surprised I can't find a kit searching the web. I assume it is the same as the world wide Ranger. But people in other countries with less paved roads probably never do it.

I went in my work parking lot with a tape measure and measured bed rail to ground at the center of the rear wheel. An old Ranger measured 45". A new Diesel GMC Canyon 4x2 measured 53" and a F-150 4x2 was about 54". Trucks have really changed.

I live in southern California where it never rains. My last SUV was a 4runner I bought used with 113,000 miles. It was some kind of company car so I know it never went offroad. I drove it up to 230,000 miles before I sold it. It took it to Arizona once on vacation and drove 100 miles off...

Thanks for all the info guys! I want to go out into the parking lot with a ruler and measure different trucks, but my coworkers will think I'm crazy! 52" sounds borderline reach-over-able. Having a deeper bed for capacity, a taller bed for aerodynamics and tall springs for higher payload...

I was hoping it would have a more reasonable ride height. Looks like it could use a 2-3" drop. That 8" gap between rear wheel and wheel well is annoying.

It looks great! I hope they build more with this color. I looked for used GMC Canyons with the tan/beige interior on Autotrader and out of hundreds of trucks only 2 had tan/beige interior. I dislike black interior both in the hot summer and in the darkness of winter where a black jacket on...

Maybe a Jeep in my future. But those power window switches on the center console instead of the door drive me crazy. I’m hard to please!

I’ve noticed them being phased out. My wives Toyota minivan has “lifetime” fluid. But for a truck Towing a heavy load it would be nice to be able to change it. And to know how much to put back in.

That’s a burly looking fan shroud. It looks a little cramped, but the spark plugs are right on top and hopefully the oil filter is easy access right on the bottom. Nothing else will need to be touched. Does it have a transmission dipstick?

Often it is a seat of the pants feel that makes the difference. I have heard and seen some evidence that better octane gives better mileage. When you are paying about 5 dollars more per tank of premium you have to weigh the value. For me the low rpm torque and throttle response is important...

I like that black and silver paint job one! Disappointed that their is no 2 wheel drive on display.

Yeah but the first time you take it to the tire shop the workers there will ruin the paint the the impact wrench.

That’s pretty neat.

I mentioned lowering so I will probably get some hate, but I just want the same easy usability of the old ranger. I’ve looked at the Canyon/Colorado and they are jacked up way too high. I restore classic cars and often put various heavy and greasy parts in the back and need to make many stops at...

Thank you for the replies but I’m really just curious to find out how tall the bed sides are. If they are too tall I will lower the truck if possible. It is much more convenient than having to unfold a step or setting heavy objects at the end of the bed where they will slide forward and dent...

Their is not enough room between the rear door and tire to mount a step right there. If I used a step from the door it would require twisting and balancing. Can’t do that while trying to grab a 20 lb starter motor from the bed.

Modern truck bed sides have gotten so tall that I cannot reach over them. I’m 5’9” and most full size trucks have beds that are as tall as my shoulders. The old ranger was as tall as my elbow and made reaching into the bed very easy. I often carry car parts for restoration projects I’m...
