@@thatoneotherotherguy The Ranger has too much tech then you really need. The center stack with small knobs/buttons and a dial is too car like. In fact its from a fusion from the looks of it. So is the gauge cluster. 3 smaller digital gauges. Its a hot mess reading all the smallish text. I prefer my Frontier Pro 4X. Has one row for all that. Dial for 2wd 4hi/lo and for rear locker. Button for descent control. The ranger has too much electronic tech. And its literally drove up the price 5K-10K over the competition. About the only think I wish my Nissan had is the blind spot alert. That is actually useful. Your better off just getting the regular XL with 4x4 with rear locker. Forget the FX4 package. I'm not hearing good things about it. and it has a rougher ride on road.

Thank you for mentioning the shake on acceleration. I test drove one a couple weeks back and it did the same thing! It also had a misaligned tailgate and rear door. Same lack of headroom that my dad's 2002 Ranger has. Nothing about the truck impressed me. Way too expensive for a 'new' old truck. I wouldn't buy this over any other truck.

[@TheStraightPipes]

I was hoping the shake was that particular car. Guess it's others as well 🙁

[@NukePooch1]

@@TheStraightPipes I thought the same. Looks like it might actually be a 'thing'. At least the one I drove didn't go off like I hit the jackpot on a slot machine like yours did...but then I drove an XL Base, so it didn't have all the tech that pitched a fit on your Lariat...

[@BuiltNotBought317]

The shake is due to dealers not lowering the tire pressure to 30psi after shipment. Anyone who test drives one should check the tire pressure on the cluster, it’ll likely be over 40psi in which case you’ll experience the shutter in the rear.

[@Extra_Ordinary_Gary]

I know this is old, but I test drove multiple models. My observation was that basic Sport suspension shook. 2019 model did it and I have up on the Ranger. New 2021 did as well. Butttt the FX4 did not. Not at all. I hope the Tremor is the same way. So lesson learned, get the off-road suspension

[@saxambirsingh959]

Just bought my ranger. I dont need a V6 or V8. I just need a good 4 cylinder for my camping, mountain biking and some offroading. Ranger is a better fit for me because of size and fuel efficiency over F-150

[@FreewayBrent]

I was thrust into being an interim fleet manager for my previous employer, on top of my project management duties. We had about 120 vehicles in our fleet, most being Ford's between the 2013-2017 models. Fiesta's, Focus', Fusion's, F-150's, Econoline vans. The F-150's and Econoline vans were fine, but everything else was an utter fail! In fact, out of 68 cars, 41 of them needed new transmissions within the first 50,000 miles, and a few of the vehicles needed the transmissions replaced twice. What in the hell is Ford doing in their assembly plants to have so many transmission failures? Also, tons of electrical issues. I'd steer clear of the brand; that's just way too many issues for it to be a fluke IMO.

[@paulpeters5199]

[@splewy]

For those commenting on the slew of errors at 5:44, it was most likely a temporary ABS module glitch. As strange as it may sound, all of those systems are tied to the computer controlled ABS system. Like any computer, it can occasionally crash or glitch out. As you can see, resetting it and letting it run for a bit usually fixes the problem. This happens to lots of cars. Obviously the car will still work fine, just minus all of the modern drivers aids we’ve become accustomed to.

Good truck for many people. But I feel like the F-150 is a much better buy because it's aluminum and can get the 3.5 EcoBoost. I bet the F-150 tows better too if you really need to pull 7500lbs pretty often. Also appears there is no built in trailer brake controller option on ford.com for the ranger which legally limits the ranger to towing 3000lbs by law in most provinces and states since trailer brakes are a requirement above that weight limit. Just something to keep in mind for people looking to buy this truck. You're gonna have to buy an aftermarket trailer brake controller (which isnt a big deal).

[@kolbis99]

Weird! My parents’ ‘17 F250 had that same fault thing happen when I drove it. I hit some gravel in the road and everything went crazy, so I pulled over and couldn’t fix it. But then down the road everything went back to normal. Never had it happen again.

@@billyboy4797 Can't really do that on a full time high schooler salary of $0 yearly. LOL But I do agree, get it before you miss it.

[@michaels7984]

This video really shows what it's like to drive a ford. When all the electronics went crazy in mine though it left me stranded and took them almost a month to figure out what was wrong with it.

[@Affalterbach1967]

Forget the Raptor SVO Shelby Roush editions. Is there a Mazda B4000 Courier edition? A Canada-only 'coureur de bois' edition ?

[@sodakproud]

At 6'2" I hit my leg on that out cropping every time I get into it. I have a small garage, so I went with a 2005 Dodge Dakota Crew cab with the V8/Heated seats. Cherry.

[@kevsingh]

I wouldn't pay more than $27k usd for a Ranger. Anything more and you're getting into F150 territory... which, if you remember, is the main reason the Ranger was discontinued temporarily; for ~$32k people would just upgrade to an F150. Seems like Ford doesn't learn from its mistakes...

[@tmanepic]

5:52 OMG the exact same thing happened with my '14 Fusion! I freaked out because it was less than 1000 miles out of warranty, but after only a few minutes it all went away, never saw it again. Clearly not an isolated incident then :/

[@hulksmash4563]

Happened to my ranger too But once its turned off its gone

[@thedarkknight7924]

6:44, man glad i have a V6 Z71 Crew Cab 4X4 with a 6 foot bed!!! I forgot to add it's a Colorado!!

[@ezinmusic4424]

That vibration was the auto start stop...

[@TheStraightPipes]

Naw

[@jeranconser3575]

Come on Bronco! Please just put in a Coyote engine with available manual and call it good!

[@Sheepleton]

Tractor trailers that have all those extra crash avoidance systems throw all those codes when the sensors get blocked. Even heavy rain will knock out adaptive cruise, hill start assist, lane departure warnings, and ABS.

[@dexterlemay2088]

If its called lane departure assist doesn't that mean the feature is assisting you in departing the lane...hmmm.

[@NukePooch1]

I'm sure at 5:40 in the video the Ranger would have assisted them in departing the lane...the road...the highway...whatever.

[@levonarabian]

Love that you guys are bringing in the sponsors! Congrats guys

[@TheStraightPipes]

Thanks

[@bsa1388]

The look of this new ranger almost beat ridgeline effeminacy😅

[@tabdeboer]

The codes usually happens when there is a battery issue with modern cars. If you cannot change the battery or check it for faults, leave the car off for about 10 minutes, it should reset. It won't if the battery's voltage is too low. Happened with us when we bought our Renegade, it had been on the floor for 8 months and the battery had gone bad, Jeep swopped it out for us, and never had an issue since.

[@project_calais4977]

Ford Ranger. Proudly designed by Australians and sold around the world! Great review as always! And awesome to see ChrisFix!

[@SteveoB89]

I'll wait until they refresh the ranger. Right now it looks 10 years old (because it is!). If your looking for a smaller bare bones truck, rumor has it Ford is developing the Courier to suit your needs.

[@megaxboxx]

the old ranger looks better than the new one.

[@Wynner3]

I have always love the Ranger. I don't have any use for a truck, but that Ranger Raptor is calling my name. I was pleasantly surprised by ChrisFix's brief appearance in this video.

[@darnellrogers8884]

For that price and gas mileage I’d rather buy a full sized f150

[@blite903]

A base model...

[@thehunter9149]

darnell rogers it’s still better than the F-150 as far as gas mileage and the price is coming down

[@mikezerker6925]

Honestly, I like ChrisFix’s old ‘Ranger’ better than the new one! It seems more simple and build for utility compared to the new one.

[@andreastijerina7631]

Yup, all truck companies keep going with these computers and special equipment that many folk don't want nor need. That's why I was surprised with what Nissan did by making the frontier - a cheap, maintainable work truck without the fancy buttons and gadgets.

[@fopm008]

Test drove one, hated it.

[@NukePooch1]

Agreed. Was supremely disappointed in everything about this truck. I noticed the acceleration shake, misaligned tailgate and door, lack of headroom, plastic interior, bad ride, etc.

[@fopm008]

@@NukePooch1 everything about it seemed cheap. It's like they intentionally made a bad truck.

[@Nonamguys]

My fusion from 2014 will have this issue come up rarely, I think 2 times since I got the car. Basically every light will come on, especially hill start assist/traction control, and after like 20 seconds of driving everything goes away. Never knew why, and it even happens with a rental ford delivery van from 2018. No idea why, but i haven’t had any mechanical issues with those systems, so I am not too worried about it.

[@harrismi7]

I think the new Ranger looks great, but I would go for a Jeep Gladiator if I needed small truck.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Jeep gladiator is HUGE

[@harrismi7]

TheStraightPipes I guess it is long, but I’d still go for the Jeep. Removable top, updated infotainment, manual or automatic, plus I think it looks cool. I hope you get to test one.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Yes we will!

[@supercarsofbristol898]

@@harrismi7 you don't get a manual ranger in north America? We do in the rest of the world. The 5 cylinder diesel with a good 6MT 😊😊

[@harrismi7]

Supercars Of Bristol No, just the Ecoboost 4 cylinder with an automatic.

[@elliottmanning4116]

It does have lane keeping assist if it kept you in the lane. Lane departure warning just beeps at you that you near a lane marker, and won't do nothing. Any lane keep will tug at the steering wheel.

[@jrmt6]

5:38. Typical Ford reliability. lol. I loved my Mustang, but Ford still leaves a lot to be desired with quality control, build quality, and reliability.

[@TheTemplarnight]

Isaac Clarke except their not cheap anymore, a lot of fords when optioned equally to their competition is either similarly priced or more expensive, like the Mustang GT when equipped equally to a Camaro or Challenger RT is more expensive, and the barebones packages ford offers are absolute trash. So your wrong, maybe 10 years ago u had a point but not anymore.

[@jrmt6]

Heck493 You’re right they’re not cheap anymore, and when Ford wants to charge upwards of 50K for a new mustang their build quality should be that of a 50k car. My S550 sure wasn’t.

[@TheTemplarnight]

@@jrmt6 Yeah i was looking at a mustang ecoboost purely just due to financial restrictions but when i put that godawful 10 speed on it (daily driver). It's basically 2 grand away from a Challenger R/T which has far far more goodies in it, and does a far better job as a daily driver. Ontop of all those ecoboost engine problems it's a really tough sell imo.

[@jrmt6]

Isaac Clarke 50k+ isn’t cheap. That’s German Luxury Car territory.

[@jakp8777]

Lol lol lamo rotfl lol lol ttyl

[@TheBeatenPaths]

What I'm wondering is, is it going to have longevity and hold its value like a Tacoma. Heck, is it even as well built as the old Ranger? My '07 has 226 000 kms and is still good as new. For $50 000 I'd want it last a LONG time! We won't know if a game changer for 20 more years.

[@MrInzombia]

its just too expensive. An f150 is the same price

[@Canadianbacon-s9n]

Wait a few years

[@yajae26]

I wish that was the case over in Germany. A new Ranger starts at 31k while a new F150 starts at 67k

[@trailspeed7037]

Maybe the bounciness in the rear end is because of the straight axle and light rear end so it can bounce more than an f150, because my 2010 f150 will bounce a bit going through corners and throw the rear out a little

[@TopCat2021]

It looks nice...but I think I'll stick with my 2007 Ranger.

[@RecBuddha]

Tacoma (and 4Runner, Tundra, Sequioa) will get CP and AA for 2020 MY. Will be nice to finally have that box checked!
