I noticed that the gear shifter doesn’t have the Sport (S) gear on the Lariat trim. Does the XLT come with it? I like that feature on my current 2019 model. It gives a nice boost to the throttle response, alters the shifting, and disables the auto stop.

@jacob… The electronic shifter is still mechanical. Both are the same mechanical shifters. You just switch on the electronic solenoid activator with a physical or a digital button. Then the solenoid moves/locks/unlocks the mechanical fork in the differential.

The front end looks substantially better than the previous Ranger and the fact you can fit 4'x8' sheets between the wheel wells is a game changer.

[@shitloveaduck]

I agree on the ability to haul 4x8 sheets of plywood etc!! The looks?? I prefer the previous Ranger. The new one looks boring, especially when compared to the GM twins and the new Tacoma. That being said, I’m a Ford fan and will wait fully until I see one in person later next week, when I’m back in town. They apparently have one coming in for test driving. The pricing puts Ford as the most expensive midsized truck out there, just slight over Toyota pricing,,,. That’s a problem. Ford’s pricing of Kate is excessive compared to the competitors. Ram is worse, but not by much. Fortunately, here, there are rebates up to $14,500 CAD on the existing 2023s and I have seen as much as $4,000 on the new 2024. Dealerships are hungry for sales & competition is heating up to the point that they can no longer demand the stratospheric prices the place as MSRP! Whew! The discounts by the most aggressive dealers put the trucks back into perspective. Demand is still very high on the midsize trucks unfortunately. I’ll wait a couple years to see where things settle.

[@paulhunter9613]

Being able to haul a full sheet of plywood got my attention, but still won’t consider buying one till they lengthen the bed to at least 6’, prefer it at 6.5’. The only thing Andre didn’t show with the lariat is the payload on that truck, the XL had a great payload for its size

I also like cloth seats and the less cluttered look of the interior. However, I will not be purchasing either of them because I buy a pickup for that big box in the back. And neither truck has a big enough (as in long enough) Box. I can do more with the older generation trucks which were set up to carry stuff in the bed, not extra people in the front.

I recently bought a 23 Canyon Denali with overlanding in mind. I wanted the AT4 but they just didn’t have any other options with 4WD and the reason for my purchase was my last car was totaled so I couldn’t wait. While I think the GM product is still by far the best looking, I think this Ranger is going to provide the most value especially considering you can get lockers for a relatively affordable option on all trims instead of forcing your way up. If they offer a plug in hybrid, I might trade in my Canyon for it if they give me a good deal

On Pickup Truck Plus SUV Talk he had a video about how car manufacturers are using the technology in their vehicles to record your driving habits and sell that data to insurance companies. All the cameras and computers record how you drive, how many times you accelerate quickly, and brake hard and insurance companies use this data to determine how much you will pay for insurance.

[@AcktongueBaby]

I like the XL trim of the Ranger just a few options. But I’m pretty damn happy with my 2022 Maverick XLT Ecoboost with all the options.😊

[@michaelsheedy]

Wait a few months for rebates as inventory builds. Since this a 2024, this MY will have a very short run before 2025s appear.

Where are the Radio controls ??? No volume Knob !! Love the STX

[@TheTommyCraft]

The center knob under the screen is the volume knob.

[@hurd23]

These prices for new trucks even on the low end are RIDICULOUS !!

[@NOXStellans]

We've got to reset our minds like we would have to do if we traveled to Europe and had to buy everything in euros. We've got to exchange your 2014 dollars for 2024 dollars-$40k(2014) = $52k(2024)-All those "pay raises" we got in the past ten years weren't raises, just inflation adjustments.

[@wolfpack4128]

​@NOXStellans free money is the most expensive money. No one believed me when I said that in the early 2000s. They believe now.

[@jeffs2809]

$35k for the 4wd STX isn’t a bad price in my opinion.

[@gatorsedtech9301]

@@jeffs2809 The 4x4 Ranger starts out at $38k and that is with zero other options so no tow hitch or anything else.

[@SunnynPhilly]

@@gatorsedtech9301 In my area 4wd Frontiers are under MSRP in the low 30's. I used to like Nissan, had an Xterra in the early 2000's but Big Altima Energy has put me off the brand.

I thought the 2.7 was suppose to be an option in an XLT. Not seeing anything but that 2.3 in Canada.

[@BoostedMaverick]

Good thinking on launching the most popular cab & bed configuration first then later add in regular cab / extended cab with long bed

[@Pesmog]

In the UK the base model is the XL which is available with single cab, double cab and also with a bare rear chassis. The base model also has steel wheels and the same 10" base screen. The payload here is higher and varies between 2350lb and 2650lb for the base model depending upon if the single or double cab is selected. The Raptor is much less. The single cab bed length is 7'7" so when it becomes available in North America it possibly won't vary from that length. The towing limit on all versions here is 7700lb due to regulation, except for the Raptor which is 5500lb.

[@syrgrad91]

The XL is surprisingly well equipped for a base truck. It’s too bad you can’t option it with the brake controller or heated seats, then it would be perfect!

[@jbrou123]

That baffles me that you can't get the brake controller on an STX, but you can get a rear locker.

[@CraigG21]

What was the payload on the Lariat with the leather and some options?

[@slmjake]

Andre awesome work! Please let Ford know I will finally trade in my 2004 Ranger when they finally offer an STX crew cab with 2.7 and six foot bed. love 48 inches between wheel wells and payload!

[@neilcarter77]

Xlt with 2.7 and brake controller, cover all my needs.

[@thatgaminguy]

For those that are unaware its an Australian design originally with heavy testing in Australian conditions, its not related to really any American ford, apart from shared engines and transmission etc

[@rightwingsafetysquad9872]

The previous generation was. That was heavily modified in America to make the Bronco and by VW in South Afrika to make the new Ranger and Amarok. I'm sure a lot of work still went on in Australia, but it has become a global architecture.

[@1FiftyOverland]

Southwest United States has more extreme conditions than Australia.

@@1FiftyOverland where i live we drive these things through bushfire, snow storms, mud like youve never seen, corrugations that have shaken some cars to pieces and to top it off mountain climbs that unfortunately have seen a few vehicles fall hundreds of meters, Australia truly has it all it’s honestly a never ending with multiple climates

[@DaveP923]

You're asking for comments to pass on the Ford? So, here're mine: I really love this truck design and the improvements they've made from the previous version, BUT, I ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT BUY IT unless it's offered as a SUPERCAB with a 6 ft. bed! Plus, that configuration MUST be available with all the options available on the Crewcab version: XLT, 2.7L V6, FX4 (or better yet Tremor!), etc. I don't believe I'm alone in my desire for this configuration. Tell Ford they can keep their SuperCrew!

[@kelvinelrick807]

17:07, 17:27 Dang, you can lock the rear diff in 2H.

[@jbrou123]

You can even get the locker on a 4X2!

[@rondail5675]

I would like a Lariat with a 2.7L V6. I like the interior update!

[@vitaming582]

That XL is honestly pretty feature rich. The only real downside would be no option for the 2.7.

[@billygames7107]

not yet. im waiting. ill buy right away.

[@evoemperor3776]

On some videos on stx they don't get tachometer and coolant gauge just the speed showing on lcd.

[@billg3535]

I like what I’m seeing so far on the Ranger except for one thing, and it’s a show stopper for me. I want a sunroof-use mine all the time; hopefully Ford will add this otherwise I’ll be driving something else.

[@tmpopson1]

Love this channel. I should see my Lariat (Cactus Gray 4x4) within the next week or so. But since you asked - YES I would love to see a plug in hybrid.

[@AH-qm8ub]

We’re looking at Tacomas for my wife. Me being me, $45k for TRD sport with heated seats is crazy. IMO the best bang for the buck is the Colorado trail boss. Locally we can get a nicely equipped one for 41-42k. The Fords are at the bottom of the list compared to any of them. The interior really is beyond cheap feeling/looking in person compared to the GM and Toyotas.

[@jmc6000]

How can you judge the Ford when they are not out the public yet??

[@Mike-te1xx]

All depends on the trim level.

[@1alexjorton]

I love the profile of the trail boss, but can’t get over the plastic-y grille

[@jmc6000]

@1alexjorton yea the Trail Boss feels and looks cheap both inside and out!

The 2019-2023, I never saw powered seats even in the Lariat models. This is a game-changer for Ford on the Rangers.

[@scottyellis3442]

Great review on both trucks. I can't get over how much a Ranger costs.

[@spyder000069]

Looks like there is no spot to hang a dash cam behind the rearview mirror. Totally covered by some trim piece. So cam is going to have to mount low blocking view.

[@drn13355]

Did the lariat have auto 4WD? I thought Andre said it wasn't in the XL, but was in the Lariat?

[@billygames7107]

no, only the raptor has auto 4wd..

[@ericviera5120]

The FX4 Lariat with the 2.3L 4 cylinder is overpriced at $52K, especially considering a loaded ZR2 is the same price. I wonder how much the 2.7L 6cyl will add to the price of the Ranger as it wasn't available when I just tried to configure it. The Raptor would be a great option except the dealers will tack on at least an extra $5K just because.

[@rj-me3fh]

Could you guys do a segment on the vehicle telematics control unit and its function? I find this very annoying that Ford or other OEM can send data from my truck, sell it and it ends up at my insurance company with a premium increase!

[@scottneal2738]

That STX is very similar to the 2019 that I had and it was $40k. The inner screen being larger is awesome though.
