Finally got to check out a gen 6 Ranger

Nice, but I still think the 5G are more attractive, at least up front.

I'd be after the larger display if nothing else. Does Fox have a Ford Performance 2.0 suspension kit for the new Rangers (not RR's)? I'd bolt them on, add better tires and off to the races!

I can tell you that the ride is much more stable than my '19 was, no more 'bobble head' or
'body motions' its also rides a bit smoother over rougher paved roads i got the 2.3 so that's the same. Interior i think is much improved overall, so far so good

Nice !

Friday while having my 2019 Ranger serviced at the dealer I got an up close and personal look at the Gen 6. Really nice truck and while I didn't get to drive it I was not so enamored that I would trade mine in for it. Cabin seems a bit more refined and the thought of a turbo charged 6 banger is pretty intriguing. Maybe in a couple of years. Anyone else think the same as me?

Well, I absolutely LOVE my 2022 BUT if I had to replace it, the 6g would be fine with me. I like the front end on the 5gs better but there are definitely some other improvements with the new generation.
I just wish Ford would offer the 2.7 without having to add 4wd and XLT trim.

I upgraded to the 6g as well. It’s pretty sweet

Smoother ride? I bet they used Toyota bump stops! =p

I don't know what I'd do with a smooth ride, I wouldn't feel like my dump runs are normal. It helps shake the dirt and mulched leaves off of me and keeps my body nice and supple (in the way a meat tenderizer hammer works). =)

But, I gotta say, that's a nice looking Ranger! And I love the color - looking real good! =)

I got my Ranger serviced last Friday also and went looking for the Raptor to look at until I saw the window sticker on all four of them! They were all over $70.000 and that stopped me in my tracks. Sure, they looked great and all, but NO truck is worth $70.000 dollars they even had one running and it had an interesting hot rod sound but that still would not get me any further than looking. Plus, I hate that stubby shifter lever it looks stupid!

I looked at new Lariat a week ago it was 52,000 I think I will keep my 2020. Besides I would have to take the maintainer off the battery and back it out of garage it looks so cozy tucked in.

The four I saw were all Lariat and the original window sticker were around $58,000 but the little one on the windshield said the final price was $70,000 how could they mark it up so much? My 2023 Lariat XF4 will do me just fine. Want a real jaw dropper they had one of those Hennessey F150 Venom 800 in the show room with the sticker price of $130,000 dollars!

Wow 130,000 can you imagine the payment on that.

 

[moe3754]

Plus, the license tags and insurance that thing would bankrupt the normal person. I bet because of the engine it would be hard to get insurance on that thing! 800HP and 757 Foot pounds of torque. O-60 in 3.4 seconds Well enough I do not want to get off topic with the thread!

 

[Canadian Ranger]

Nope, I'm keeping my '19 until it breaks in half in my driveway. I kept my '07 until 2022.
The length of time I drive it without a payment the money stays in my pocket, not Jim Farley's.

 

[moe3754]

My 2023 Ranger will be my last at my age it will probably out last me!

Man have times changed! I built my first house (1650 sq ft/1 acre) for $90K and my second house (2,000 sq ft/ 3 acres with a barn) for $110K. There's no way I'd drop $130K on a depreciating asset.

Funny thing is there are people that would not think twice about it guess it is good to have more money to do things like that. Those $70,000 Ranger Raptors was enough for me to not even think about it.
