Outdoor Layne I don’t have any more panel gap or worse build quality than any other mid size on the market. I extensively test drove the entire segment, minus the ridgeline because it wasn’t really fitting to what I wanted it for. And the ranger was the most comfortable and felt the best to drive to me. I initially went in wanting a Tacoma but the engine was a dog and my head was firmly planted in the headliner.

Outdoor Layne with the amount of off roaring I’ve done in mine so far I’m going to have to disagree with you there, if I had a single qualm about it, the tires would be the biggest issue I had with it. As far as onroad it’s far more comfortable than the taco I drove. It may have been that the tire pressure was absurdly high in the one you drove, as I have seen instances of pdi not being done properly by the dealership and the tires having well over 40 psi in them still

I lucked out and got a 2020 Ranger Lariat as a rental for the next month. I’ve been SO impressed with the Hankook tire’s on-road handling. They stick like glue while I’m hustling on curvy mountain backroads but they’re also smooth, comfortable, and quiet. Now I’m even more impressed to see that they’re actually good in the mud as well. I’ve been impressed with the Ranger overall, really. The only thing I don’t like is the 10r80’s automatic shifting logic. I even reset the ECU so it could relearn my driving habits but that only made it actually use 2nd Gear for about 20 miles before it went back to skipping from 1st to 3rd and hitting 7th Gear by 40mph and 10th Gear before 50mph. I really don’t see the point in having 10 gears when it only uses 5 of them as a rule. You would think it would kickdown gears aggressively when you toe into it but instead it just stubbornly stays in too high of a gear and bogs like when you accidentally shift from 1st to 4th in a manual transmission. The 10r80 is SUPER annoying 100% of the time. Either way, I’m glad I got to experience this trans before the Bronco releases. I’ll definitely be getting mine with the 7-speed!

Won't affect Ranger sales since those of us who own them like having a vehicle with a bed and the ability to tow when necessary. Bronco is more of a lifestyle brand like Jeep. Vast majority will never go offroad but goes well with the soccer moms and their North Face clothing.

EXCELLENT REVIEW of RANGER in the MUD. TFL OFF ROAD puts it to the OFF ROAD CHALLENGE of the FORD RANGER.I was CURIOUS to see how THE FX4-OFF ROAD PACKAGE handle MUD and DEEP SNOW, IN THE event i find myself in a situation that calls for me to use it. I have the 2022 FX4 CREW CAB(ranger). The TRUTH is that it's NOT as CAPABLE as the ZR2, or TACOMA TRD-OFF ROAD (but, the REALITY is the FORD RANGER still CAN GO WHERE THEY CAN GO excluding the JEEP GLADIATOR BUT, THEN AGAIN THE GLADIATOR COST MORE.

If the ranger was at the level of those other trucks it would cost as much as 20k more. You can get FX4 on the base models for just around I think 2-3k Canadian. Which puts you around 36k before taxes. A tacoma with TRD package is over 50k, same with the ZR2 Colorado. Maybe we will see the Ranger take on the Bronco looks. Also possibly a standard cab regular bed/short bed ranger would be amazing. The ONLY thing I hesitate on for trucks is the length. I deal with crowded parking lots on the daily so that's an issue for me.

Trail control looks like a great way to get too confident and break stuff. Solid overall midsize truck though. Can't wait for the Ranger Raptor to finally hit North America. Good vid.

Hi, I saw an XLT with electronic locking rear diff and 4wd....no FX4 package... So aside from the skid plate on the FX4, does the different suspension really make a big difference?

You can't say Bronco 2 when you are giving info you need to say Bronco as well. Otherwise we might get lost for a minute and think you are referring to the 80's and early 90's mini Bronco. Lol Another good review on the Hydroline. No surprise there though because you always do a good job. Still wish you had some really good off camber sections (moguls) to really test the lockers or limited slips on these trucks or SUV's. Would be pretty easy to make with the tractor in one of those straight sections you have. The off camber would give a great still shot of not only how much suspension flex front and rear but how stiff the frame is on the trucks by how much the beds shifted from the cabs. Just a thought.

Every trim of the Bronco except the Base has more ground clearance than the Ranger. The Base is on 30" all season tires, other trims are on 32" or taller tires. Ford says they expect anyone who wants to off road with the Base to use it as a platform for modification or add the Sasquatch package which gives 11.6" of ground clearance on 35" MT tires.

Good job in the mud - lose the sidesteps & switch to a mud tire & that little truck will be all the more capable. Sidesteps would come off on day one for me. Could also benefit from the 3.5” lift or even a simple spacer kit with 33s.

Plastic can be pretty strong and flexible it would be pretty hard to puncture the tank. I've got a plastic p mag for my ar15 ran it over with a f250 on concrete to see if the hype was true. It only scratched it works great. Plastics are pretty good these days better than steel in alot of applications.

On the A/T tire scale, the Hankooks are a very unaggressive tread on P-rated tires, with Bridgestone Revos being about the least aggressive A/T you can get (really an all season), I'd rank the Hankooks at about a Goodyear Wrangler, or Pirelli scorpion level. The Dynapros do get to about a mid level on the L/T rated with the greater tread depth though. If you were looking for aggressive, the most aggressive non hybrid tire would likely be a Falken Wildpeak AT3w, with Toyo A/Ts, Nittos, BFG and General Grabbers not too far behind. The AT3ws just have a deeper tread on both the P and L/T rated tires, and in fact you can't get a deeper tread without going to a hybrid or mud terrain. Deep wide treads clean mud the best, after all. That, and you never get tired of saying " Those are some big Falken tires!" or "look at this Falken guy with his Falken tires."
