I kept my 2007 F150. I love the ranger but it was purchased more for a commuter vehicle. I still need the bed space of my F150 for the larger payloads.

I had a 2017 F-150 XLT Screw Gen 2 3.5 eco 10 speed 2wd. It was totaled towing our 5th wheel camper. It was a fantastic truck. I replaced it with a 2019 Ranger XLT Screw 2wd. Some notes, the F-150 was quicker and got better fuel economy for my type of driving(20-21 mpg town, 25 mpg hwy, Ranger 21-22 hwy best). It had a lot more room in the rear seat than the Ranger. Since I no longer tow a camper the Ranger is easier to drive around town, gets acceptable fuel economy, is reasonably quick, is equally as comfortable in the front seat and actually fits in my garage. I am pretty happy with the switch and will probably get the FRP tune for the Ranger.
i traded a F150 King Ranch for my Ranger big mistake i got better Gas millage with the F150 and ride was betterIf this thread already exists my apologies. Curious to know how many former (or current) F-150 owners have made the switch to the Ranger? I traded my 2015 F-150 XLT SuperCab about 4 weeks ago and I haven’t looked back. I have less than 500 miles on the Ranger and had just over 100k on the F-150 so it’s not a true comparison, but I don’t see myself having any regrets. I absolutely love everything about this truck! What about you?

Wise man!I would expect that you'l be getting more Tacoma and Colorado converts than from the F-150. I came from a 2017 Tacoma after owning 2 Rangers, a 1999 and a 2004.
I have to say that the 60/40 rear seat and the flat expansive floor in the rear with the seat up are the two items I miss the most that my 2019 Screw had. I am hoping this is my last vehicle, I bought it for my retirement rig even though I have three more years to go. Might be tempted to trade it in if Ford adds the 60/40 and makes the floor a flat area or at least more useable.I “downgraded” from a 2016 F-150 Lariat Fx4 SCrew, and honestly besides the space in the rear and the 60/40 folding option of the seats, I really don’t miss it. In my opinion, the Ranger drives/rides better, and I’m thoroughly enjoying the better gas mileage... or maybe having the 3.5L EB made my foot heavier ???‍
Same here. I've had 7 F150's,1 Silverado and 1 Tacoma over the years and now my Ranger. While the F150's were needed when I was back east and had a larger business I had no need for something this big anymore. When I moved out to AZ in 2016 the Ranger wasn't available so I went with what I thought was going to be the truck I kept for many,many years a Tacoma. Boy was I wrong,I hated that truck from the time I got it! I didn't get to test drive it because I ordered it in late 2015 before moving when they were changing over to the Gen 3. I've never hated a vehicle more than that TuRD! So glad Ford bought the Ranger back to N'America!Came from Tacoma. Never looked back
funny, I also had a tacoma I hated a '13 TRD sport and I just hated it. I traded a 2000 Silverado that I loved for a Toyota with the plan to keep it for a very long time- id had the Silverado 13 years but I hated that tacoma, I just couldn't get comfortable and rattles that could not be found, lots of other minor issues but bottom line, I just hated it. there were no other small trucks out there so I got the F150 which I loved but just more truck than I needed-- Glad the ranger came back, I gave the GM twins a try but the ranger just fit my needs better.Same here.
