The best thing about this review: Sarah tested the Ranger exactly how Ford intended the vehicle should be used. Love the content.

I'm a mechanic at a shop that maintains Ford's media fleet. It's so cool that when you get a Ford press vehicle it is usually from our shop. If I can ever figure out if a vehicle is going to you beforehand, I will definitely hide some penguins in it somewhere. 😅

The Ranger Raptor is a bargain compared to others in the segment (I'm looking at you, TRD Pro and Gladiator), but I still don't do new car depreciation. And I definitely don't do dealer markups. In about 3 years I'll sell my 2010 Raptor and look for a nice used one of these at a discount.

@@YerBoyTroy I have a 2011 2.7 4cyl Tacoma and a 2013 5.7 Sequoia. Going down the freeway at 75 mph the Tacoma is ~26-2700 rpm and the Sequoia is at 16-1700. If I want to pass the Tacoma has to down shift and gets up to 3000+ rpm’s while the Sequoia may not even down shift and won’t get past 2000 rpm’s. The 4cyl has to work much hard to get a lighter truck down the road at the same speed/load. Literally the gas mileage is only 1-2 mpg different. I originally bought the 4cyl for gas mileage reasons but after 5 years realized I really didn’t gain anything over the 6cyl Tacoma. I really have less power and am wearing my engine quicker than if I had a larger engine. My 2013 Sequoia has 296k miles and still drives like new because the engine hasn’t had to work very hard during those miles.
