Ranger wins Edmunds best truck 2025

[Dr. Zaius]

I haven't seen one in my area either. But these have been out for 4-5 months now and the ratings companied get these way before the consumer does. Personally I never go exclusively by what they say but it is nice to read them and get their opinion.



If I was in the market for a new truck I would give these a serious look! I've said it before I really like the look oof this new Colorado and almost bought one when my '19 Ranger was totaled but they weren't available yet. Now I haven't kept up on them to see if/what issues they're having since thieve launched but man they do (especially the red one) look nice. IIRC TFL has done numerous reviews on them and he even bought one of the first ones (I don't think it's a ZR2) when they came out.

TFL got rid of theirs pretty quickly as it experienced quite a few issues.

They traded it in on a used Toyota Tundra.

After watching the video it wasn't as bad as I first thought. The truck overall has very little issues (none are perfect) and most seemed to be minor electronic ones and some software glitches. Oil analysis looked good and overall he really needs a bigger truck because he's a giant. lol I'd still consider one along with the new Ranger although looks aren't everything IMHO these do look the best.

How does Ranger win best truck, I have yet to see one, dealerships around my area not sure when they will be receiving any. Just ordered a '25 Ranger last week, see when that comes in!

There are several around me. Carmax has a few too. If I ever start having serious tranny issues, I might just trade it in and not deal with all the hassle. Just went out of warranty today. Here I am sitting at the dealership waiting for the service dept. to open.

Are you going to get an extended warranty in the meantime?

No, I thought long and hard and decided against it. It won't break me if I have replace something expensive.

Edit: I forgot we were talking about the '25 Rangers. I have only seen '24's around here. Is there much difference?

@Friday yet? you should have heated mirrors on your Lariat, both of mine do. Check your window sticker because mine was built later than yours and it was never a deleted item.

Totally got them on my Tremor. My bad. Thought we were talking about the 6G when I made my comment earlier.

And a white one for $47,300

Yea but then you have to immediately get it painted. No one wants to drive around with just primer.

I didn't go back and read the prior comment so it might have been the 6G. I just assumed (you know what happens there ?‍) you were talking about your 5G. lol Either way if they deleted that option for the 6G (hopefully they didn't) that's just being really cheap now.

When I bought my truck I didn't care what color it was as long as it wasn't black.

I just wanted one equipped the way I wanted.

Turns out I like the white quite a bit as it does a great job of not looking too dirty even when it is dirty. It doesn't get near as hot in the summer either.

And if you're a scofflaw like myself, there's not a much more generic description of a vehicle than "White Truck". ?

This is my first white vehicle - I ordered it this way for a reason - I drive a lot of very brushy Forest Service roads and the paint gets scratched. My last Ranger had pinstripes down both sides from that - it was a charcoal gray and it showed a LOT. I got white (I went for the "fancy" white - Platinum white) to help hide these scratches, and after almost 6 years, it is working really well at hiding those scratches.

The side effects of white as you say above were just gravy for me.... If/when I get a new truck, it will also be white. You'd think white would show the dirt but it really doesn't. I'm always amazed when I wash my truck how REALLY dirty it was - but it didn't look too bad from a distance.

It may not be the fanciest choice, but it is certainly practical.

Just to be clear to all you unpainted primer colored, I mean white, truck owners…. I am simply giving you ?. All in good fun.

Besides, the average person is simply not talented enough to handle the awesomeness of a proper vehicle.

 

[stringbreaker]

Don't get me wrong, I'd definitely be delighted to have one, but I dunno, it's just a bit too flashy don't you think?

Those of a certain age will always be drawn to the flash and shiny stuff. Got chrome? Give it to me.
