Good look at 2024 ranger 2.3 engine

Is that a front camera I see under the blue oval? I could use that!

The looks of that Maverick-type front end are exactly why I bought my 2023.

So it this supposed to be the engine cover that "protects" the back side spark plug?

That is a built in "mouse habitat" !!!

I agree on that , maybe a "Ford Performance" grill will come out and help with that ...

Yes front is ugly

Too many different plastic pieces

And no one-piece steel bumper anymore

That's my problem with the 2024 too. The Raptor face looks great but those vertical pieces on the standard truck just look cheep to me.

I wonder how much Ford is charging for that if it isn't standard equipment. It's a quarter the size of the 5th gen cover. By Ford logic That means it's likely to cost at least $1,000.

Many familiar looking parts I saw. Storage under seat and dome light looks almost same as 5g. Like that they kept some manual controls under the center stack. Not big on the electronic shifter and e-brake. Doesn't look like they adopted the new direct and indirect injection 2.3 engine used in the 2024 Mustang either. Thought I read where the Bronco was getting it for 2024.

If I recall, the e-brake has its own mini disc and caliper. When a conventional parking brake is applied, either lever or foot pedal activated, the brake pads staying on one area of the disc can prevent that area from cooling as fast as the rest of the disc and warp it. The e-brake is also used also as a hill holder on some vehicles-not sure about the 6G Ranger.

If Ford hasn't changed designs on their trucks, they have the electronics built into the main brake caliper. So basically just electronics actuating the brake caliper rather than a cable.

4:40 in I caught this quote:

"It is paired to a 10 speed auto, which Ford has really got sorted out... We have not had a 10 speed from them in a while that has had any issues whatsoever..."

There is one thing I like, that's the rotary HVAC knobs.

It looks like a Maverick, especially in that color.

The bozo statement "has a little heritage with the Ford Pinto" yeah I guess if they both had 2.3 engines and they were both Fords, but that is a stupid statement, the two engines have nothing in common other than the Ford logo, I wish I had the new 2.3 in my old SVO mustang?

I heard that and said, "Huh? What?"

These were among several places/statements in the video that made me think the dudes know less about autos/trucks than I do (and that's a low bar).

The change in bumper design from 5G to 6G is the biggest backwards styling step IMO. Ironically, because of the bumper, the Raptor looks more like a 5G than a 6G to me...

Bahahaha it has a dampener from the factory, now we know they are not watching this forum or care about their customers, next year we will probably see a lot new members here from the left coast asking what size lift and can I fit 265/ and will it scrub LOL
this should be good

 

[Grandaccess]

And still no damn split back seat. I know it’s still a pre production…but I did see trailer brake!

but come on you get 1/4 of an engine cover and a Dampener!
ford thinks what more would they want in a truck?

Yup. And it's on the passenger side. Will it be the same as the one we have on the driver's side? ?
