2020 Ford Ranger XLT Review & Drive

The 2020 Ford Ranger comes without much changes from it's 2019 model but it can now be had with the FX2 package for 2wd models. Overall, the Ranger is a strong competitor in this class and offers a lot of versatility for a midsize truck. This Ranger XLT is a mid level trim without a ton of options to make this one of the better value and more affordable 2020 Ford Ranger models.

[@bobjohn2000]

Thanks for actually reviewing realistic models. I hate all these channels who get the most Gucci truck then talk focus on all the features that their trims offer

[@kuyajonny1195]

9,555 miles on my Ranger, and I love the truck. I’m seeing lots of ‘back in my day’ comments about the older Rangers, and yes we all know the Ranger’s legacy; the 2019-2020 model is no exception. It’s a good truck, and I have no doubt that it will serve my family well for many years; much like my 2001 Ranger did!

[@jamesrogers47]

Very easy. I take it to my dealer's Quicklane and tell them to change it. No muss, no fuss.

[@gonatsgo4life884]

How is it overall any problems thinking about buying a XLT version

[@MeliorIlle]

Not with a turbo

[@gonatsgo4life884]

So no problems at all with anything on it I test drove one and it feels great now I’m actually looking for the right one I want with options on it

[@MeliorIlle]

@@gonatsgo4life884 No problems NOW, but wait for 50k miles, or 100k.

[@greghunt7724]

I've had 2 Rangers from the past. One I had for 11 years...and the next one 12 years. I hope these stack up. My other 2 Rangers were standard transmission, but I was diagnosed with MS in 2009 so it's gotta be an automatic for me for now on. I always loved the Ranger because it got me what I needed. I never towed anything, but could throw something in the back without having to worry about having something delivered.

[@hinault1986]

I've been doing research for about 1 month now as I'm thinking of buying a Ranger and I have to say, this was the best video I've come across. Well done!

I bought a 2020 STX in March. I too love my pickup. Comfortable, peppy, and good mileage. Not top of the line, but has plenty of buttons that this 45 year old is still learning what they do!! It really is enjoyable to drive.

[@PrimeAutotainment]

That’s awesome, glad to hear it! 👍

[@grocerygoat06]

Same here. Bought 2020 STX in April. I got a real good deal 0% financing during COVID. The truck already had running boards installed on it. I had a remote start put in on it, and a tonneau cover as well as door rain visors. I enjoy it very much, seems well built.

[@chrishasley5614]

I love the tones Ford use.. very relaxing lol. I don't own a Ford, but I like what this little Ranger has to offer. I passed a Ford Raptor on the way home today.. that thing looked like a beast!

[@jameslanning8405]

I had a 1995 Ranger, I bought it in 2006, for $3200. It had 79K miles then... 4cyl., automatic, 2 seat cab, 7 ft. bed, standard 2 wheel drive on the real axle. It did have a ball hitch on the bumper. I ran the truck nearly every day, and it had nearly 300K in 2018, when I sold the truckfor $500! It was still strong running, didn't smoke or have any odd noises coming from under the hood! But I was putting a 100 miles a day on the truck, in my work commute. I knew I needed something newer for that trek. I got a 2011 Escape, 2.5 4 cyl. Automatic with standard 2 wheel drive. "Keep it simple!" I still see it go by the house from time to time. They had even installed wood racks! The engine was originally built by Mazda! The only real downside I found was having to replace the timing belt. It never went the same way twice! Sure there were smaller issues. But what vehicle does not have them?

[@amiramark]

Just received my 2020 Ranger XLT. WOW. For the money this truck and series is a outstanding, comfortable and nice looking truck. I had a 2005 Ranger before this new one and there is absolutely no comparison. Watch out Toyota, GMC, Nissan and Chevy. This Ranger is at the right price, has the right features AND turns heads. Feels like FORD finally listened to it's customers and got things right.

[@bearatts]

I would love to see the 2.7 Ecoboost be an option in this truck, it would be a beast

Bro ive been saying that for decades atleast. I have a F150 2.7 and it will smoke almost anything on the road....with themud terrain 35's on it!🤯🤯🤯🤯 Im sure its coming tho since its so small it will definitely fit in the Ranger.

This truck is quiet, rides extremely comfortable and has great power too! It has very nice leather seats, dash and arm rest. The sound system is excellent and the information screen is a great size and very easy to use! I would highly recommend this truck to anyone who is looking for a midsize truck!

Here in South Africa we had rangers basically all there life. I have a Ford Ranger XLT 3.2 TD 4x4 2014 model and love my truck, good for work and good for over landing.

I think it's really cool how it comes with sport mode

[@kellytaber9345]

Like my ranger still putting it together though still don't think people are crazy when they say the truck is sloppy and bad brakes. Here's a tip factory tires are cheap change them to good ones sloppiness goes away and the braking is better as for fuel mileage, I got 1500 miles on my ranger and 26 mpg. Here is a tip stop going 80 mph and drive it easy and you will get good fuel mileage. Last week I got 30 out of it so a tip don't go over 60. Slow down or leave earlier so you have time.

[@marktwain580]

I've had my loaded XL for a year. Awesome truck w/ plenty of power and 23.6 MPG on the hwy. It does require break in to achieve this mpg. I also have that slight dash vibration(comes and goes) and one complaint. Even though I have the electronic locking rear diff and advance trac, the rear behaves like an open diff when starting out on a turn on light gravel. If equipped with the classic limited slip(trac lok) like my '98, I'd have ZERO complaints!

[@olivertwist2843]

I got that annoying rattle too, seems worse when defrost is on and the palstic espands and vibrates against the windshield. Super annoying. Lol

I was looking for dirt on the 2.3 turbo or the 10 speed transmission. I’ve found very little in the way of problems. Ford may have a winner here.

[@blammod]

for the engine i'd look at the mustang and focus rs and see if they have any.

[@louism8217]

@@blammod the Mustang is closer, but not identical. I've owned an Ecoboost Mustang for 2 years and went to the Ranger. Behave reasonably similar, but the Mustang obviously is way faster. The transmission definitely does not behave the same, especially in sport mode. Both are good. All vehicles have issues, and Ford has been using turbos for some time, so they're pretty robust. BTW I drive a lot, has 52000kms on my Mustang, and its worst thimg was the rear brakes, which were ready for the third set. The solid rear rotors seemingly a general Ford issue.

[@tylerthomas8460]

Thanks Brian! I love the Ridgeline! Very underrated as a practical and daily driving pickup

[@travelinben1966]

Brian Petersen You’d be making an excellent choice.

[@marks6072]

With Ridgeline, Only problem is FWD is 3500 tow cap and you need AWD to get to max tow cap of 5000. It’s tough to get a fair comparison with features and tow capacity vs price.

[@travelinben1966]

Mark S FWD is fine if you don’t live in the snow belt or only tow light stuff.This vehicle has no serious off road abilities, it wasn’t engineered for that.For anyone to suggest that it does, misses the whole point of why this vehicle was made.Most people will be quite content with its capabilities.

[@mafosa8519]

Nice truck for sure! The motor displacement won’t withstand that boost over the long haul. 3.8L would have been a better choice. Thanks for sharing! Larry

[@howardkerr8174]

@mafosa: Funny you would say that. Why? In other markets where Ford sells pretty much the same basic Ranger the engine choices are 3.2 liter 5 cylinder turbo diesel which is being phased out for a 2 liter turbo diesel. The 4 cylinder, in road tests, outperforms the 5 cylinder, and sometimes by a noticeable margin. My point being that Ford has a pretty good handle on making small engines work. Reliability down the road? I think I would continue to avoid a turbocharged engine for as long as possible so I would be inclined to go with a F150 with a NON-turbo V6.

[@chuckwalla2967]

I heard the turning radius is bad as well. Is it a hassle to maneuver in tight spaces?

Ford should offer the 2.7 ecoboost as a upgrade option.

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Haha that’s always fun but tough deciding between vehicles. I think it really comes down to your need with each vehicle. Towing and off road is definitely a big bonus with the Ranger. Rise comfort is a bonus with the Ridgeline plus that in bed trunk can be really useful at times. If you decide on what please stop back and let me know what you got 👍

I wanted to know if it had AWD or 4x4 only capability. The Tacoma only has 4x4 which means it binds on wet to dry surfaces. Does the ranger have the ability to be in AWD performance on dry roads without binding up the system when turning?

[@gabmik38]

Yes, please show the lariat, my wife wants to trade our 2018 f-150 coyote in for one because it’s quite long to park but I can’t see letting it go. I did drive a couple 2019s and not impressed with the small writing on the control buttons and not really fond of all the plumbing for the turbos. The price seems quite high for what you get as it is quite smaller than I’m used to. Maybe we’ll just look at an Edge for her or even an Escape.

[@jamesrogers47]

I too see a lot of sticker shock in the posts. To be fair, the price is a bit breathtaking to those who purchased Rangers in the past. (I owned two and paid less than 20k for each of them.) But the new Ranger is an evolution in size and capabilities compared to past holders of the name. The "fit and finish" of my 2020 is vastly superior to that of my 2004 Edge and 2011 XLT. My Sport came with fabric upholstery, which I paid my dealer to replace with leather, which in my opinion is an improvement (I hate fabric upholstery.) You can hear and feel the difference by simply closing a door. Both of my earlier Rangers had issues of wind noise through the passenger doors (leaking though the side mirrors (or so the dealership service techs said.) My new Ranger drives as though it has a larger engine than the 4 liter six in my 2011 XLT. The new 10 speed transmission is exceptional. Sure, they cost more, but the extra cost is worth it.

I just got a slightly used 2020 xlt and so far I love it. I had an issue with the rear brake pad making a squealing noise (what the dealership told me) but they fixed it and so far so good. Does anyone know how to open the backseat cupholder???

[@daveincv]

I got a 2006 Ranger was nothing but issues over 100.000 heads went at 146.000 replaced the engine at 196.000 changed the oil and always took care of it. but was a let down only thing that was solid was the 5 speed tranny never a issue Drive the 2020 ranger hated it got a Chev Colorado LT Love it.

[@tdogj2084]

2020 lever right!

[@mchume65]

I traded in my 2011 Ranger, 4 liter, for a 2019 Ranger XLT 2WD 4 door. The ford dealer gave me $10,000 for 2011 (65K miles). My 2019 has way more power and speed than my 2011. It's also a lot bigger and has a lot more "bells and whistles" than the 2011. I see very little difference between the 2019 and the 2020. All in all, I really like my 2019 Ranger. I bought mine last February, and so far I have only seen three other 2019 Rangers on the road.

I kinda like it but Great Review

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Thank you!

[@nokoolaid]

I like the ranger, but for not much more one can get a F150 and then the bed is really short and not 48" between the wheel wells. Space wise there's little difference in room between a F150 extended cab and the crew cab ranger in the back seat. I am just wondering where the value is with this. Then I am 6'5. I like the idea of it, but it's neither here nor there.

[@isaiahcayatineto7579]

So cool... my whole family is a Ford family. Mom has a Ford Taurus, dad has a Ford F-150 super crew cab, and brother has a Ford Mustang. I love both trucks of Ford. I have a Chevy Sonic lol.... I need to step up the game and get a Ford. My choice would absolutely be the Ford Ranger. I love trucks. Chevy trucks I can care less lol. Great video and review👍🏻😎

[@PrimeAutotainment]

That’s always cool having everything within the family! The Ranger would be sweet. Thank you very much!

[@isaiahcayatineto7579]

Prime Autotainment you are welcome 😁

[@j.d.culbertson4265]

Had 5 Rangers, loved them all. Not interested until they come with a V-6.

[@PrimeAutotainment]

I’m with you! Those old rangers were awesome

[@dracodrake45]

I miss my 98 4.0 but the 2.3 inline 4 isn't bad.

[@j.d.culbertson4265]

I just want something more simple. Fuel injected V-6 is probably less expensive to maintain and has less possible expensive repairs than all the turbocharged ecoboost. Just my guess.

[@kevinanderson705]

Have you test driven one? Just got mine last month and the new engines got plenty of torque and power.

[@ProjectFairmont]

Turbo V6, yea but this is a better motor than n/a V6.

[@Newberntrains]

While im not in the market for a new truck still got the 99 b4000SE glad ford didnt go with those chunky A pillars that every modern vehicle has and visibility seems just as good as the old rangers :) very tempting with that turbo tho

[@dustinpalmer3386]

I am still driving a 1992 ford ranger its my daily driver working on restoring it the ranger will never die my only complaint is on these new ones offer a single cab with a standard trans bring back the original ranger lol

[@PrimeAutotainment]

That’s so awesome, love that generation of Ranger! 👍

[@ezes856]

Do the adjustable head rests come off the back row seats?

[@paulmulinaro3351]

I like the ranger the ranger is really cool

[@ajm5348]

Would you recommend for a new driver

[@xnavyro]

Wish they came with a V6 or a turbo diesel 4? Love the look, but hate the low engine size? Currently own an ‘04 Ranger & absolutely live it, but I’d rather spend money to get it refurbished than spend huge $$$ for a plastic new Ranger?

[@immaduckonquack8118]

We have a fl50 2019 but where probably going to exchange it for this one it’s a beast

[@FortuneSeek3rz]

How many lbs of boost does this turbo make?

[@Diguitarist]

I'm shopping right now with plans to buy in the next month. Ranger and Tacoma are top of the list. What's your opinion on a 2wd Ranger as you showed in this video to a similarly spec'd Sr5 v6 Tacoma? I ask because EVERYTHING i see is comparing FX4 to TRD or TRD Pro which is not my use case.

[@PrimeAutotainment]

They’re very similar in a lot of ways. The Ranger powertrain dedinitelt feels like it has more get you and go, but depends if you prefer turbo or naturally aspirated in the Tacoma. The Tacoma front seats can feel cramped depending how tall you are, but for me at 5’9” I’m comfortable in Both trucks lol. Probably best to spend some extended time in each or maybe take each home for a night to get a good feel for them 👍

[@Diguitarist]

@@PrimeAutotainment I'm scheduled to drive the Tacoma today. Drove a ranger earlier this week and loved it. Hopefully after tonight I can make the call. Your video here is great btw. Thanks for covering the lower and middle trim level. Most cover top end models only. I've seen a few low end ranger videos but only because you still get the 2.3 turbo in the base. Nothing on the lower end models from other brands.

[@CM-qj4de]

Post the outcome. What discounts can you get in this Pandemic market?

[@HomerSimpson514]

I have the 19 Lariat 21,000 miles bought when they first came out. Dashboard already had to be removed for a broken actuator arm for vents had a faulty sensor that took 5 months to repair and I live in a cold climate and when it snows ice snow salt build up on parking sensors and it gets really annoying

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Dang sorry to hear that!

[@travisdoleman6722]

I am 6'3 an 250 can I get in the ranger. Comfortably. Because I know in the older models I head went to all the way to the roof. An with the seat all the way back. My leg where bet a little

[@dalerobinson9642]

Really disappointing that a cold weather package including a heated steering wheel not offered on any trim level of Ranger. In snow country, we need that. Otherwise, great little truck.

[@paulmulinaro3351]

Cuz if it comes with a sport mode then you really don't like need a truck to like carry stuff and you know you can just like take it on a race track or something
