Happy reading! Hope you took the morning off. Sorry if any of those are repeats. I shared the links before reading.

This article says “Blind spot monitoring is available, which also covers the trailer if attached, and adaptive cruise control comes with the tech package that has full stop-and-go capability.”

Full stop and go is contrary to what is in the manual I think. I believe the manual said it goes to 12 mph. Can anyone who did a Ranger Drive confirm?

In regards to my other question, this article says adaptive cruise disengages at 12mph which matches the manual.

I’m going to have to wrangle this into something that makes sense

The reviews are amazingly consistent which is impressive. For those of us looking for a solid, reliable daily drive pickup we may have hit the jackpot.

The reviews are amazingly consistent which is impressive. For those of us looking for a solid, reliable daily drive pickup we may have hit the jackpot.

I didn't look at ALL of them, but looked at a lot, and they were very consistent. My takeaways:

Pros:

• Engine works well - lots of power for driving and towing
• Technology - the technology seemed to work well
• Transmission - consensus seemed to think it worked well - smooth shifts and little to no "hunting" for gear

Cons:

• The only real con that seemed to be somewhat consistent was the interior - cheap feeling

Overall, all of the reviews I viewed and read were really, really good. I didn't see any negative ones.

Did any of these get a 0-60 time or something related to anything other than off-road chops? Approach angles and ground clearance are nice but 90% of the owners would probably never even see wet grass. I need to know how well it hauls ass too.
