Good measure of performance potential. My tuned GTI is 10lbs per 1 hp. But nothing close to high end super cars.

Most of those stats are kinda useless in actual shopping--but it's nice to see the ranger get some good media attention! In my case, it wouldn't matter how much better the f150 was because I wanted a midsize

Good way to show how the Ranger is a useful and important vehicle. That at a certain point it is a better choice to choose the Ranger over the F-150. And not just because of it's ability to fit in smaller spaces. The F-150 has it's place, and that place does not completely encompass the Ranger's place. At least when it comes to important things like capacity, efficiency, and ability.

If I was cross shopping between midsize and fullsize, then this is pretty much exactly how I would break it all down. Amount of money for the stuff you get. It's pretty much essentially what I'll end up doing once the Maverick comes out and I'm eventually looking to replace this Ranger (in quite some years though).

As an engineer who loves data, I'd love to see some graphs with payload vs. cost, payload vs. efficiency, and those types of things, just to see where the line is where the F-150 takes over.

I'm pretty interested in the Maverick as well after several years. If I don't find myself needing to tow that often to make it worth it (the most I tow is my project car), the Maverick might be good for me to downsize and gain some MPGs + improve the on-road ride.

Same! The most I tow is our little teardrop, and I don't haul that much either. I basically just want a bed for dirty cargo and my bike and what not. I think I said this on a different post somewhere, but a Bronco Sport with a bed (which is essentially what the Maverick apparently is) would be darn near the perfect vehicle for me and my needs, if they do it right obviously. There's always that caveat. haha And especially if there's the same sort of hybrid system that's in my wife's 2020 Escape. That would be pretty darn great.

The 2020 Escape is great too! Another option for me down the line would be to give my fiancée the Ranger as her daily when her Highlander with 240k miles dies, and I can pick up a Mach E Sure, the Mustang name is stupid, but that would be a sweet commuter - charge at home, save tons on gas, lots of great tech, quiet interior. Except we work from home now so spending close to $50k on a "daily commuter" doesn't quite make much sense anymore lol.

That's me Joseph. I've owned F-150's for years, and they are great trucks. But the size of the truck, and today's smaller parking spaces made it tougher and tougher to park. Plus they new ones take a 40 acre field to get turned around. So, the Ranger is a much better fit for me.

For my needs... Ranger is better than F150 and SuperCab is better than SuperCrew, Also 2WD is better than 4WD.
Still the F150 is the most popular and overall capable vehicle in the U S market... I just want what fits my needs best and that's Ranger. ( I just wjsh they had made a real 2WD)

We test drove a 150 and it seemed kind'a nice and it rode nice. What we didn't like was the feeling that it took up 1/2 the road. I do mean the center line to the edge. Obliviously, we got the ranger.

Agree 100 percent

I've been thinking along these lines as well, given that our daily drive, with me taking the wife to work, and then turning back around and heading the other way to my own place of business, is well over one hundred miles per day, one way. She takes the train back most of the way, but this is still another twenty-five-plus to leave my workplace, pick her up at the station, and get back home. How sweet it would be to have the Ranger for fun, for vacation trips, and for inclement weather, but to drive an electric Mustang as the normal-weather DD! Of course, coming up the the additional 50K+, or rather, convincing the wife to spend it, is another matter entirely! In short, I would not part with the Ranger, but I would not mind complimenting it with something new and different, especially with better mileage (and better music)!

This is an interesting comparison, but the real question for most buyers, including myself, is rather full-sized or mid-sized? The F150 is great, but it is just too big for me!

Agreed. Completely pointless comparison. had F150, bought Ranger for some reason

 

[Ronbo]

Statistically speaking, 94% of the numbers and statistics that she provided in the video comparison were 100% irrelevant and unnecessary. My brain hurt after watching this.

 

[Dr.Me]

This is something a first time buyer would watch, or someone trying to justify their purchase of a Ranger over the F-150. The one and only reason I chose my Ranger over the Potential F-150 was overall size, if my driveway could fit 2 full size trucks side by side I'd have never got a Ranger?‍
