Tow/Haul mode also works well for the lugging and hunting issues.

Not a chance that would ever happen. Even after 100 showers I would still feel dirty after buying a Toyota.

Let’s go there in mass and stir things up.

Exactly. It would get marketing dollars. No longer a red headed step child.

Agreed. But for Bronco enthusiasts it's probably beautiful. I can see it doing just as well (or better) as the Gladiator. Gladiator sold 56,367 units in 2025 which is not terribly far from Ranger sales (70,960 units in 2025). I could see Ranger Raptor buyers moving to the Bronco pickup? Ford...

Chris I think you mostly nailed it except for: I think ROW also gets the new F-100 truck (T6.3) based on the Ranger SD but I'm betting for ROW the name remains Ranger. Ranger is an icon for ROW but not NA. It will position this new ROW Ranger as a potential Hilux killer with its far greater...

Yes, a Bronco pickup is going to replace the Ranger at MAP and the Ranger will no longer be built there. A new Ranger replacement will come out of TTP. Here is a link to a post (last June) that I have been keeping updated...

The new truck coming out of TTP in 2029 will replace the Ranger. The article has that part right.

I'm old. Always forgetting to push the dang Dumb ASS off button.

This is the easiest and best solution. I used it for 6 years on my 2020 Ranger. Buy a LED night light and make sure it is the the type that is on all the time (i.e. not the type that turns on only when dark). If you don't want the illumination in the back seat area, then put electrical tape over...

I had a 2020 Ranger and now a 2026 Ranger. I loved my 2020 but my 2026 is more refined and improved. Transmission is much smoother. I will upgrade the 2026 when a Ranger (F-100) hybrid becomes available.

Maybe a marginally better highway ride in my 2026 XLT vs my 2020 XLT. But, what I have really noticed most is the side to side whiplash when going over the driveway entrance curb. In my 2020 it felt like your head really rocked side to side. That trait doesn’t exist on my 2026.

Yes, like axles. The Ranger SD and F-150 widths are nearly identical and that was not an accident.

Some interesting news (key posts by Ford insiders) concerning Ranger’s future. I think this mostly awesome news. https://www.ranger6g.com/forum/threads/2026-ford-ranger-super-duty-walkaround-details.17529/page-3#post-446065

Then that makes her a keeper. Don't screw that up.

I've owned boats (kept at home on trailers) since age 24. Boating has been a great family activity while our kids were growing up. Their best childhood memories are associated with the boat. We are still making memories with it and I'm 68 now. Soon we'll be teaching two grandsons to ski behind...

There is another reason not to buy which I found out the hard way. It comes with a tailgate damper (had to remove it).

No, I just replaced the broken one and crossed my fingers. I loved that Ranger but I replaced it with a 2026 Ranger.

I had just the driver’s side fail. I noticed a loud pop sound while hauling some logs. Couldn’t figure out what it was at the time. But a thread on this forum about this issue motivated me to look at the springs and sure enough, the driver side was broken just like the photo in this thread. It...

Yes, I did. Here is a pic:
