Drama queen. They don't blow, just stop shifting properly. Then require 10 trips to a dealership for them to verify its bad and get the warranty approved. Would actually be nice if an explosion really did happen to avoid waiting for warranty approval. Wonder if all the gas in my oil could blow the engine though .

Hold out for the 2027 Rangers, word is Ford is phasing out the 2.7 and making the 3.0l the base model for all trims!

Correction **** sorry this article about the 3.0 twin turbo was for the F150 it seems....... NOT SURE ABOUT THE 2027 RANGERS?

Hold out for another month or so and good deals will be available on 2026 models as they will be trying to make room for the 2027 models.

THIS website publishes a list of buying incentives from the manufacturers every month.

Though to be honest, I don't think any manufacturer makes anything better than another nowadays, with the possible exception of Stellantis products.

I have flirted several times with a new Colorado ZR2.but they have their issues as well.

There is still a part of me that would like to just get an old F150 and only drive it when I need a truck.

My first thought when I saw that!

Relax, he’s got at least 10 miles to go. Give the guy some slack.

It'll be alright lol. Mine currently has 123,000 miles and some change on it. Just drive it til the wheels fall off of it.

My Ranger has a 3.0 and a transmission that hopefully gets more miles on it than my 2019 that was failing at 72k. It definitely shifts smoother.

Interesting, the only U. S. Ranger I knew of with a 3 liter was the Raptor?

How is the ride on the highway and regular roads? Any less slop and wallow

I think you need to update the vehicle in your profile.
