15:45 Towing Capacity is around 7000, not 3

[@markreams3192]

About 7500 with the tow package which includes a trans cooler

[@BetaRacer24]

Mark Reams yea, never go to Manufacture numbers. If they say 7500, then 7000 is safe.

[@Davido50]

7500! Plenty. The powertrain is so refined an according to Ford truck engineering the Ranger makes 300hp on 93 octane premium! BONUS. Love my new XLT FX4 crew cab in black. Home run Ford.🏆🏆👍

[@Davido50]

@@markreams3192 trans cooler is large mated to the excellent F150 10spd tranny. The engine oil cooler is quite big too. This engine was made to perform & last. Full Synthetic SN+ rated oil (only) changed every 5kmis will get you 250k+ mis easy. Motorcraft filters only! Keep on truckin - Ohio USA.

[@nmtay]

This is random and not really related to the vehicle itself, but I LOVE the pointy finger approach.

[@CookieManCookies]

Made me laugh, ahahaha!!

[@Davido50]

Beautiful truck! I bought a loaded XLT FX4 crew cab a few mos ago after 1 test drive. It's so well done overall. The build quality is outstanding. Ford knows trucks. It feels like a tank w/solidity & pleasant (firm) plush ride that Chevy & Toyota cant match. The powertrain is WOW! 2.3L Ecoboost - RS rally race car engine (300hp w/93 octane!) mated to F150 transmission is superb. Great job Ford! My son wants one now👍🏆

[@yurieu5872]

Only in the USA to people bash such a gorgeous vehicle. I know it's expensive, but it's very well done, looks so much better than the global model.

[@Davido50]

It's very very well done! I own one an love it. Build quality is outstanding an the features are best in class. The powertrain is so much better than Chevy & Toyota its laughable. Good job Ford!

[@MeliorIlle]

Beautiful truck, horrible engine choice.

[@pahuntnut]

Lot of comments about the price? Compare ranger lariat to toyota limited to Chevy Colorado same trim levels. There all the same price

[@CookieManCookies]

Where's the raptor edition? The turbo diesel or V6?!

[@genius-no5sl]

I’m gonna get one of those hand pointers so I can use them when I lecture my kids .

[@toddbob55]

Ford Ranger has dominated every Test Against Toyota Tacoma on youtube,.....Towing, Braking, Acceleration, Interior Comfort and quality and yes off roading. Ford Ranger is a better more refined truck.

[@erichouck9487]

but the taco cult crowd will never admit that the Ranger is a better truck. But the taco does come with a snorkel, LMAO

[@johnstrand2247]

I just drove them both in Salisbury where the dealer sells both brands. You are correct. Tacoma has a much better bed and rear seat but on the road driving, the ranger beats it easily.

[@mittens7707]

I have alotta taco's to jump on my ranger , when the turbo kicks in , its bye bye . The Tacoma cant compete with twin turbos. My Ranger is the XLT SPORT.

[@genius-no5sl]

This truck is just awesome

[@lanceripplinger8352]

Love the color. Wish it had the chrome package. Thanks for the great in depth review!

[@muffinman7932]

Dude lol when I saw the finger stick instantly I was like I love this dude lol

[@keachmister]

Still on the fence since your last Ranger vid, Mike. I do agree with the negatives, but the tech makes up for it. Seems so far no regrets from new owners. Mid size trucks are here to stay. If my old truck wasn't so darn reliable I think I'd jump off the fence and head down to Ford. Your vids are very helpful on decision making soooo, we'll see. Edit: Update, bought one. Prices came down to a level where time to get serious. 1000 miles into it and no regrets. Mine's a sport coupe with a bed on the back I like to call it.

[@Davido50]

U wont be disappointed. 1 test drive in this outstanding build quality midsize truck & its apparent how well thought out & engineered this new Ranger is. Ford knows trucks! The avail features & tech are head an shoulders above Chevy & Toyota. Powertrain is simply amazing. Ford truck division recently announced Ranger makes 300hp on 93 premium fuel. Bonus!! Keep truckin!👍🏆🏆

[@paulpeters5199]

I bought one in December super cab model with the fx4 package and chrome package XLT couldn't be happier with it Ford definitely hit it out of the park with it and the best part is getting around 25-25.5 for fuel mileage oh yeah the only thing I wish they would do is put the fox shocks on with the fx4 package

[@marioplushiecentral3441]

test drove the 2019 Tacoma sr5 and then this in xlt. I cant see how anyone could pick the Toyota ?ford was faster smoother and had better driver view more leg room and better seat .I guess people give up comfort for expected longevity of the Toyota? anyways I bought the ranger paying almost 10k cheaper than this video price.

[@Davido50]

Agreed! The new Ranger has a solid firm feel that's screams excellent build quality. I proudly own a 19 XLT FX4 crew cab. 5k mis so far. Amazing truck. Powertrain is so far ahead of Chevy & Toyota. RS rally race car motor makes 300hp on 93 premium Ford engineers recently said. Do run only full synthetic SN+ rated motor oil an only Motorcraft filters oil & air. Change every 5k mis religiously it will last forever! Enjoy.

[@daleurban4059]

I have one just like other than a little more chrome and I love it. Rides like a dream, good gas mileage. Glad I bought it

[@Xxxx878xxxxx]

What're you getting mileage wise? What's a few things you don't like about it? I'm back and forth between this truck and a tacoma.

[@topicruben]

That was awesome, man. Nice details and explanations! Congratulations. That is my next target. I love the Ranger. I just got the Fird Kuga. It's an SUV and I believe it's a model they only do for Europe. I'm in Italy. Keep rocking!

[@Davido50]

Congrats & enjoy! Ford Is king of trucks in USA.

[@heythatsmysong5055]

Great video. Very thorough look, love the little hand pointer lol

[@genius-no5sl]

There isn’t much to dislike about this truck - and it’s a FORD

[@AlienCatcher23]

Surprised I didn’t see any comments from the F150 crowd saying “there’s no point buying this since the STX F150” is only 3-5 thousand more... I used to think the same thing until I test drove an STX F150... truly felt like I was driving a 20 year old vehicle... no seat height adjustments, no heated seats, no leather wrapped wheel, very basic interior materials, and on and on... an equivalently equipped F150 to the XLT 302a Ranger was around 7000 more, even with close to 9k in discounts (this is canadian pricing)

[@im8980]

Everyone likes the pointer 😁😁😁

[@travelinben1966]

They brought it back to the U.S. market too soon without thinking it through.Hopefully,in a couple of years,some tweaking,and some other engine choices,it’ll be worth a look.

[@Shakerhood69]

This Ranger is old already, been around since 2011 or 2012, the next Generation is due out in a couple years so hopefully it will be better than this version.

[@wgunder1]

Y'all folks need do some research before saying dumb things like this ... The US 2019 and forward is a different Ranger then the Global version with a redesigned frame , body, and fenders. Yes it only has 4 cylinder...but that 4 popper competes well with every other v6 engine it goes up against and if you drop in higher grade gas into it it will out perform even the Diesels such that are in the Taco and GM models.

[@sgtou812]

I love the pointer!

[@user-tu4hq6xx6q]

I like what I saw on the f 150 learn quite a few little things I like that thanks ,

[@Operafiend22]

Another great review

[@forrest2457]

I love this truck, it looks gorgeous with the blue, I am wanting one

[@misohoney4656]

I've bought one of those pointers for my bathroom since I've run out of TP.

[@ismaellozano685]

Awesome truck

[@MrEric96744]

I don't mind the hard plastic. It's a truck if a person wanted more luxury then they need to up grade

[@Davido50]

Truthfully it has plenty of luxury & tech features avail. Much more so than Chevy or Toyota! This is an outstanding midsize truck ..that feels solid like a tank in terms of excellent build quality. Love mine . 1 test drive.. I was sold!! Now my son wants one. .👍A must test drive! Powertrain is gold.🏆🏆

[@Shakerhood69]

Just curious what Luxury & Tech Features the Ranger has that supposedly the Colorado or Tacoma don't have?

[@kaptainkoolz6359]

It’s pretty, major drawbacks are the lack of single cab, tiny fuel tank. No manual and no diesel option. I have no issues with the turbo gas engine unlike most truck owners

[@yogiyoda]

Yeah, they need a fuel tank upgrade. 18 gallons is tiny when towing

[@xaviertx89]

Always good video content Mike!

[@LilFrisk3232]

I have a 2019 4x4 XLT SuperCrew missing alot of these features. Could this be bc yours is a FX4? missing features include: Terrain Mode button, Nav Feature on infotainment system, and 2/6 buttons infront of the 2H 4H 4L selector. (your top left and top right buttons, i don't have 30:50)

[@MaybeFeetPics]

This was a very well made detailed video. Are there more? Specifically the Chevy Colorado.

[@BoredwatchinYT]

Thinking about a truck and crazy thing is favorite color is blue

[@pahuntnut]

Ha! Love the little hand

[@MrMraggies1996]

I love the Ranger! I had one for my first truck BUT that truck looks way to old for it to be 2019. The Tacoma has a lot better things at the same price point. I looked at the Ranger and the Tacoma, I ended up purchasing a Tacoma because I think it was a better value and for what I paid I got a lot of stuff. I am hoping they will update it within a few years and I will get one.

[@jebsdaddy141]

That little hand on the end of the stick is a little creepy.

[@Davido50]

Hahaha yea ...otherwise a good review on an excellent midsize truck!

[@yogiyoda]

[@Squeak1946]

Really great review. Thanks.

[@willie9397]

I want one in Magnetic gray in about two years with ebony interior

[@ATXFootball2112]

They could’ve made the center console screen so much bigger. No need to put the hazard button there

[@hyperspaceexplorer5594]

It's quite nice. I saw one listed locally. Exterior is gorgeous. Interior is gorgeous. But the bed is just horrendous. Who the heck buys a truck and not put a bed liner to protect the bed? -_-

[@MrJDubYou]

Would you be able to get me a part number for the front lower bumper radar sensor?

[@MikesCarInfo]

This might help www.oemfordpart.com/oem-parts/ford-park-sensor-hu5z15k859captm

[@techluvin7691]

You have to get the “fat american” option for that rear door to open wider 🤣.

[@Red_Bearded_Dad]

It's weird that the Lariat has an foam engine cover for sound deadening. They could add that to all of them. Geez.

[@Pandamonium626]

It's weird to me that some trucks have hand holds for everyone EXCEPT the driver. Sure it's not super far off the ground but if you're gonna put handles in why not just add one for the driver too?

[@jasonzeringue41]

I think the reason for the rear door not opening wider is probably so the front door and the rear door cant collide.

[@techluvin7691]

Jason zeringue Even if it did open the same, how could it possibly contact the front door?

[@KOOLBROTHA]

Dude! Your really creeping me out with that little yellow finger

[@bobr6078]

Wonder how that antenna will hold up going through a car wash

[@billydecker9396]

The owner's manual recommends unscrewing the antenna for automatic car washers.

[@georgefaulk2528]

Why is the interior so dusty and white marks all over the fabric? Is it because it's a used vehicle or is it because it's made in Mexico?

[@ztog]

9:00 Rifle? Are we going to war?

[@MikesCarInfo]

When you hear the word "rifle" you immediately think of war? Interesting. I assume you never fired a rifle is that right?

Where is the Oil Filter ?

Attached to the engine 😂

[@DanVoels]

You have to take off the front left tire and open a flap to get to it. PITA, but the only negative I’ve found with mine so far.

[@jeffreywhite4091]

Not too much thought was put into the Ranger

[@yogiyoda]

yeah, the suspension is too bouncy. there's a low speed engine stutter etc. Fonts on the gauges and screens don't match. 10 speed gets lost some times. Little things show that Ford doesn't care about attention to detail on this truck

[@dominiquegreen11]

Haven't experienced any of those issues

[@yogiyoda]

@@dominiquegreen11 - and the brakes are poorly calibrated too

[@hulksmash4563]

39:14 are those rust normal?

[@juliusp8269]

Ehhh I mean a bit, it is probably a test truck and is being tested in MI. I haven't seen anything like that in mine, but that's my best guess.

[@willie9397]

@@juliusp8269 yes its normal, surface rust caused humidity and sitting look at your brake rotors after a rain especially over night

[@juliusp8269]

@@willie9397 thanks for the clearification, also I found something interesting about the seat that pushes it back further; it has bump stops in place behind the back seat, took them out and it sits further back.

Tacoma who?

[@lawrencewiddis2447]

Couldn’t you find one that wasn’t leaking?

[@MikesCarInfo]

First time seeing the underside of a vehicle?

[@Senerian]

To bad it’s way over priced for a 4 cylinder. I really like the new ranger, but the price to get a decently equipped one is just a huge turn off that keeps me from being able to get one. Maybe one day before I’m to old to care I will be able to have a new truck just once in my life and not have to worry in a used piece of crap that always needs a repair.

[@yogiyoda]

In December Ford, was offering huge discounts. People were getting over 10k off MSRP. So you can try haggling if price is the only thing holding you back

[@Senerian]

@@yogiyoda Think I will wait to see if the design changes for 2021. Also want to see if Ford tried to bring the Ranger Raptor to the US or just keep it for the rest of the world while we pay over double the price for a F150 Raptor.

[@chadchristianson8666]

Still waiting for one interesting thing to be shown about this little pickup. First the looks are dull, looks like a 98 Taurus, small motor, this pickup will still be hauling leaves like its predecessor.

[@Michaeldckry1]

Is it just me or does this dude have a really small hand?

[@Tuktanuk]

Great review. Was interested in the ranger but no longer. Rear seat is a joke, no rear A/C or Heat ducts. Halogen!? really??

[@dominiquegreen11]

Yes they are located under front seats

[@DanVoels]

Lariat is full led aside from the puddle and license lamps. $30 fix.

[@coreythefam6455]

I don’t like it tbh because it’s too big for a “ranger” yet they complain about MPGs nowadays. and it don’t have its own classic non turbo engine. Front end looks like a fusion and Taurus,and the taillights are giant it was a fail in my opinion.

[@mowcowbell]

Seems like a half-hearted attempt at a mid-size truck from Ford. Interior looks like a truck from 15 years ago. No LED headlights? Colorado/Canyon/Tacoma/Ridgeline are better choices.

[@juancalder3081]

Just bc I have to turn off that stupid auto start/stop feature every time I start the vehicle, I wouldn't buy this Ranger. That's annoying.

[@willie9397]

I thought the same thing Ive been doing it in my 17 escape for over two years and majority of the time i dont even realize I have turned it off. Its no different than having to put your seat belt on every time you get in the car or start the vehicle or check your mirrors only quicker etc just sayin

You can buy a device that will permanently disable start/stop. It's called a Ford Ranger Autostop Eliminator and is currently on sale for $85
