No tailgate assist!!, No Huge V8!!, Plastic interior!!! come on its a truck!! its not a status symbol if you want flash go get a mercedes, people just like to complain about everything, ive reading a lot of comments here and basically for some reason men feel that their "manhood" is threaten of they dont have a huge full size truck, c'mon grow up, basically everyone here is just letting their brand loyalty speak out, ive had toyotas, fords, nissans and ive liked them all, personally ive had rangers in the past and i drove them till the tires fell off, for what i needed it was an awesome reliable truck. Here in Mexico like in europe the ranger never got discontinued and they are really abused, awfull roads, dangerously loaded to the max and they work great, here their not status symbols we dont bitch about no hill descent control, no sensors, basically no status just a great work truck

A V8 would have been cool though. Or even the 3.3 v6 out of the f150.

[@zachariasprice3762]

"Come on it's a truck" that's why this thing would need a big engine. In other countries rangers are diesels, this 2.3 ecoboost is the same little gas engine of the ford focus. Also they are bad, like they break a lot. This thing doesn't have the capabilities of a real truck and costs as much as a mid-high level mustang or camaro. For the money this thing costs you can get a ram 1500 with v8

[@luisinhoens90]

@@zachariasprice3762 The 2.3 is based on the Mustang Ecoboost, which has had a good reliability record. Focus RS has a transverse mounted engine unlike the Mustang and Ranger. Also, the price is not ridiculous compared to the segment. The Ram doesn't cost the same, a low optioned 4x2 crew cab V8 is north of 40K, but the Laramies and Rebels are mid 50s, so they're hardly the same price.

[@toddbob55]

If you need tailgate assist then your extremely lazy, In todays world you don't need a v8 to make big horsepower in turn it burns to much fuel. ....hence why they are using turbos.

Great review Andre! Booyah!! I’m a fan of the Ranger, however I’ll be holding out for a Bronco.

[@jonathanmoore7472]

I agree but I am hoping they go back to basics with the bronco and make a manual preferably paired with a v8

[@MrNismopro]

Bronco will have no V8 option, nor will it have a manual option. The common engine will be a 2.3 liter turbo 4, and will have the 10 speed auto. They’re still indecisive about an optional 2.7 turbo V6, if they did offer it it won’t be available in the debut. All this of course if Ford doesn’t shut the program down in this whole lean process they’re going through now.

[@jonathanmoore7472]

Rick Rodriguez that’s great info I guess I will just have to build up an old school bronco

[@bubbafinch07]

Emissions won't allow a V8 a medium size truck. Ford has went nearly all turbo for a reason, great power while being efficient. The 2.3 T is a solid engine and later on with a tune and with the new 10 speed, it will be a fast little truck.

[@jonathanmoore7472]

The STX trim is the best value Ford offers. If you don't need leather seats and don't mind a few more plastic interior features, but like a sporty exterior look, then this is the best trim to get (in either ranger or f150).

There has been speculation that 2020 will see a Ranger Raptor released and it could be powered by a pumped up 2.7L Ecoboost. Should be a screamer!!!!

[@gpaje]

Unlikely, this is based on the international T6 platform, which has been developed without a V6 in mind. The cost to revise the chassis to accommodate a V6, including certification process, etc. would be cost prohibitive.

@@gpaje you said "the international T6 platform, which has been developed without a V6 in mind." Do you know this to be a fact or are you just speculating?? Because if this is true the new Bronco will not have a V6 option. I find that to be hard to believe since the Bronco is trying to directly compete with the Wrangler with it's V6 Pentastar and upcoming V6 diesel. It seem more reasonable the new chassis has already been designed to fit Ford's 3.3L, 2.7L, 3.0LD V6s. Will the marketing guys allow a V6 in the Ranger? Good question!

[@kingelvis7035]

I'm not a big Ford guy, but I like that 6ft box model. I think the idea of one engine is an engineer's dream come true. One engine means one set of front springs, one transmission, etc. You can custom tune the vehicle to the dynamics of one engine. I like the Titan for offering the 'good' engine standard. They should just get rid of 'penalty box' engines meant to punish you for buying base models.

The Lariat gauge cluster with the single speedometer is rather unfortunate. The lack of a factory trailer brake controller is a bit of a let down as well. And once again, Ford has removed the spot mirrors from the BLIS equipped vehicles which drives me nuts because I love the spotters so much on my little Fiesta that I got tow mirrors on my F150 so that I could have both spot mirrors and BLIS on the same mirror unit. Ford needs to get with the program and include spotters on their BLIS mirrors on the future. Other than those observations, this is one hell of a truck that should be a big hit for Ford.

[@stevem7633]

The 2.3 is no slouch. It will easily outrun a lot of other trucks in its class and gets a lot better real world gas mileage than the tacoma. I own a 2.3 turbo Lincoln mkc and I traded in my 15 tacoma for it. This ranger will do its owner very well I believe.

[@atlbike1251]

I think Ford is forgetting about the commercial market with this truck. Down where I live most of the Rangers on the road are business owned. With the bed so high off the ground it makes it near impossible to take things in and out of the bed by reaching over the side(and I am 6'6"). Instead of buying a new truck earlier this year we spent $8,000 having ours rebuilt, because no one makes a pickup with a low enough bed that was usable for our business. That is one less new truck that was not sold. The commercial market carries truck sales some years when the consumer market is down, but not when products are not made for them.

The seats in this Ranger look like they may be more comfortable than the low, short cushion seats in the Tacoma. At the very least maybe you won't have to wear a Dr. Ho's Back Belt driving it.

One of the strong points of the F150 are the multiple engine choices. I know this truck is a redone overseas model. Perhaps when a true N. American model is made more engine choices will be offered. Also, the MPG isn't much better than the F150 with 2.7 EcoBoost....and the 2.7 will run circles around the 2.3 four cylinder EcoBoost.

Turbo engines from the 70s and 80s were problems. Modern turbos are reliable and long-lasting. Yes, eventually the turbo may need service, but that's hundreds of thousands of miles in the future. Replacing a Ford turbo is maybe a $1,600 operation.

[@Bradington]

Taco has HID headlights. EcoBoost is for people who didn't learn from Europe the last two decades.

[@smarticus6384]

I agree. This truck is class leading in all the right areas. I owned a Toyota and to be honest I found it a bit underpowered, especially under load or in the mountains. I think that is where the 2.3L EcoBoost/10-spd will pay dividends for its owners.

[@beefstew5608]

Bradford Bradington Ranger Lariat has LED High/low beams and LED fog lights. This truck is the future and the Tacoma is stuck in 2004. Not to mention the Tacoma still has rear drum brakes!

[@zelenizub2036]

No you don't need 400, 350 will do.

[@smarticus6384]

It's crazy to look back but the most powerful Chevrolet small block 400ci ever produced only made 265HP from factory and I have no idea what fuel mileage would have been (maybe single digits?). So I think the Ranger with its 270HP/310T/23MPG 2.3L is quite impressive in comparison.

[@troywatson4686]

[@kevinmckinley512]

If you have a 4 door truck then you might as well just get a car!

[@dewrus2153]

Unknown-You put the word trucks in quotes...like anything without an 8 foot bed isn't a truck? That's a silly notion. People buy "trucks" based on need. If someone can only afford one vehicle for their family of 4...why would they not get one with 4 doors? Should they just put the kids in the car seats in the bed? I have an F-150 ext cab with a 6.5' bed. I can haul full sheets of plywood with the tailgate down. That's good enough for me...but that chore would be more difficult in a smaller truck like Tacoma or Ranger since you can't lay full sheets flat. If having an 8 foot bed is your criteria for what a real truck is, then I guess there aren't many real trucks out there driving around.

Vinyl floors are so much better than carpet in trucks. It's a upgrade in my book.

[@OutlawFarmersRC]

Only the bone stock work trucks come with vinyl flooring. My point was if you upgrade to any of a trucks nicer interiors then you upgrade to carpets. There is no way to keep the vinyl floor unless you order it from parts department and install it back in the truck. At that point it is better to go with WeatherTech mats.

[@alliejr]

It's all about the TQ not the HP (7:14). Since we can't get the diesel here in USA, the high TQ 4 is the next best thing. Whining for a V6 or V8 is missing the point and misunderstanding the purpose of a small work truck. And, no, your full size pickup truck is _not_ getting >25MPG in any situation.

We gotta stop including the Honda Ridgeline in any review of real trucks. It is basically a front-wheel drive car chassis with a truck-like body stuck on it.
