Still with a V6, the 2025 Ford Ranger 2.7L Review // The Ranger to get?

[@donburton5323]

I was a General Motors person.14 new Chevys and Buicks and GMCs and several used ones over the years.Just bought a 2024 Ranger with the 2.7 I wanted a V6 and just liked the looks better.Time will tell but so far I love the Ranger.

I own a 2019 F-150 XLT Crew Cab with the 2.7L Ecoboost. It has been a great vehicle. It can tow 8500 lbs, has tons of room and gets 22 mpg on the highway if I keep it at 75. I enjoy your videos.

Completely agree. Start buttons are a real drawback in many ways

[@davidjym]

That's what car dealership wants to promote push-button key fobs so they can charge you an arm & leg for replacement !!!!!!!!

[@CGB65]

Absolutely. I could be wrong, but I think that thieves find it easier to start a vehicle with a push button starter.

[@KerryArsenault]

Yep! Keys are way better, cheaper, easier to replace, and easier to carry around.

Hi. I am watching your channel from Australia. Love your reviews, The couple approach from two people who enjoy a good drive is very refreshing. I am glad to see you finally have got to experience the Ranger. It is the best seller in Australia. Whilst full-size trucks are growing in Australia, the mid-size is the largest segment here. For everyday use, the mid-size is popular for tradies and families. The latest Ranger was developed with VW's Amarok. I'm not sure you get that in Canada/USA. We get the Raptor as well in exactly the same spec as you do. The hero engine in the Ranger is the V6 diesel as we do not get petrol versions as the price of fuel here is high. That being said, the VW Amarok gets an Ecoboust 2.3T in its halo model. Ford also does an SUV version of the Ranger here called tge Everest, which also sells well here. This is my first comment on your channel, and I felt compelled to say something after seeing this review. Keep up the good work. I am sure you guys would love Australia if you had the chance to visit.

[@mistyjackson8766]

The ranger left the US in 2011. Im so glad it made a comeback from australian attention. I bought a 2024 6th gen ranger and love it. Thanks Australia for making it popular again.

[@Jassman3536]

I'm good with the key. What's the diff if you have to carry a fob or a key. No battery stuff down the road and if you loose one a key at the dealership is way less and easy to get. We have a 2.3 XLT and a 2.7 XLT 4wd on the way. I drove all mentioned and I almost bought the Colorado but the ranger was slightly more comfy especially the drivers seat and was about 1k less base motor to base motor and offered more content, Imagine that in todays market place. The 2.7 is in a league of its own. Way improved with smooth excellent power delivery. Good review guys.

[@ytj22]

I guess the only difference with the FOB is that you don't have to have it out. It just has to be on you somewhere, grab the handle, push the start button and go. For some that is a major convenience. For me, not a big deal either way.

[@davidjym]

@@ytj22 the price for replacement is big with a key fob. Besides you still need to take your hand out and touch the door handle in order to open the vehicle??? So that's just one extra step people don't want to do with 'old-school' push button to unlock a vehicle????

Great review guys. Love that it has a traditional shifter and that you keep on them (all makers) about the fakakta shifters! Also, it probably actually cost them more to do the manual ignition key these days,.. it really doesn't figure. Did I see any rear seat air vents? Add back in a 6-ft plus bed availability like the Toyota and Nissan have (and both Ranger and Colorado used to/last gen) and I'm in.

[@davidbrieske]

Last month picked up the XLT with the FX4 package. Replaced my wife’s Bronco Sport. Love the V6 power, and the center stack screen. Downside it is already in the shop because of the rear door does not lock. With or without the key and no toggle in the door to lock it separately.😢 currently waiting on parts. 😢

No leather or shiny plastics...not enough tech run and office from the road...just a work truck. We all don't need a truck that's a transformer 🤣

Great review guys 👍👍I know you like the 2.7 EcoBoost Engine. But I read an article about the direct fuel injection that's causing carbon deposits on intake valves. Also causes engine performance issues like weaker performance, increased fuel consumption, and rough idling. Also early models of the 2.7L engine had oil pans which are made of plastic with poor sealings. Have you heard any news on this? Keep up the great work!! 👍

Great truck, I am looking forward to Ford bringing the PHEV variant to Canada

[@billurban1581]

PHEV, the middle way. My sedan, with 455 HP and a 41 mile battery, more than triples the mpg of my last 240HP ICE. This is explained in the AAA Foundation Driving Survey, which found that the average trip is 12.3 miles, 2.44 times a day. The engine in my PHEV starts maybe 5 or 6 times a month, for the longer drives. I do fine around town on electric, the motor can deliver 451 lbs ft to the rear wheels instantaneously. Over a 2 year period I burned 199 gallons.

[@WoodyWorkshop-31A]

Considering how many cars with no key are being stolen these days, maybe it's a good idea to have a key.

I am a die hard Toyota guy and currently drive a 2009 Tacoma TRD. If I were shopping for a new truck to replace it, I wouldn't even visit a Toyota dealer. This new Ranger and the Nissan Frontier that you mentioned would be in consideration. Also, keyless ignitions may be convenient for you, but they are also convenient for thieves. I wonder if there would be so many new Toyota Tundras stolen if they still had keyed ignitions.

[@jamesvelvet3612]

Around here, you can't give a new Tundra away. Nobody wants them LOL same with the Tacoma. Toyota needs to step away from the Truck manufacturing and concentrate on hybrid SUVs and sedans which they excel at making. Toyota was the go to small truck form factor manufacture 20 years ago. Since then they have all been duds, I know, had both Gen 2 and Gen 3 Tacoma 4wd. Real turds both of them.

[@TylerBrohman]

I find the Maverick to be getting to expensive. Just to get things that come standard in other vehicles you have to pay for it. Before you know it you’re getting close to 50 grand. There are vehicles you can get with heated seats, steering wheel, blind spot monitoring etc for 35 -40 grand. Ford makes you pay extra.. in 2023 I thought about ordering a Maverick. One of the reasons I didn’t is the vehicle I did buy was more bang for my buck.

[@springertube]

Regarding the comparison between the F-150 and the Ranger, depending on trim, the pricing differential is a legitimate concern. However, many if not most Ranger buyers I would guess are purchasing on the basis of preferred size - to Andrea's point about garageability but also overall handiness, driving and parking in the city Etc, and I would think efficiency of operation. In apples to apples configurations, the F-150 still has a much larger footprint, and is just bigger overall including height and being about 18 inches wheelbase and 20 inches longer overall and 5 inches wider in track width, not insignificant figures when you just want small(er).

[@andreaspencer9813]

I totally agree, I prefer the size of the Ranger over the F-150. I don't find the larger pickup convenient in the city.

[@seanh2390]

A couple of questions: 1. Does the physical key make the truck harder to steal? 2. Does the FX4 package make the ride more comfortable than the regular suspension?

Ive always been a chevy guy mainley because I got raised in a all chevy family but the best truck I ever had was a 2000 ranger. Ranger was my 1st new truck and had it for 15 yrs 200,000 miles. Ditching my 3rd gen colorado to many problems with the 8 speed trans so looking for a new truck and narrowed it down to frontier and ranger. Test driving I like how the ranger handles and the v6 power is fun! I like the frontier because its offered in a v6 ex cab 6ft bed option. I think if ford would of offerd the ranger in a shorter extended cab obtion with a 6ft bed and the 2.7 v6 I would of already bought one and IMO would be the best mid sized truck to buy.

[@marktuyet]

I like having the key

[@derfandme]

No matter how much I like the Ranger I cannot justify the price. My brother-in-law has the old Ford Ranger the last year in production V6 engine rear wheel drive only but with automatic transmission and air conditioning came out the door with taxes $16500 in Toronto. With a few options the current Ranger is $60000 after tax. Insane. And that 2.7 L turbo is never going to last as long as the old V6. Car companies are going to stop being able to sell any cars eventually.

[@BrianJ-oz5tj]

Short bed would rule it out for me, but that’s what the market wants, even in full size trucks. As long as at least one company keeps offering longer bed options if you want a pickup for hauling stuff! And I’ll vote for a simple, cheap key.

[@billurban1581]

Agreed. I guess I’m old-school, but the definition of “truck” should be a vehicle with a cargo area being the biggest part of the “truck.” Everything else is a truck wanna be. My 1995 Dakota (8’ bed, V6, original clutch) is still getting the job done at 280,000 miles. (The optimum truck is one you don’t worry about getting dinged.)

[@BrianJ-oz5tj]

[@rotaxrider]

Because Honda has taken a back seat to realibilty just like every major brand has

[@jeffer1101]

Good call. It's likely where my money would go. It's a proven vehicle with rock solid reliability and resale value. As tempting as this vehicle may be, it's no longer the value it used to be (in 1989, Rangers in Canada were between $9,000 and $16,000 depending on trim and options instead of $53k for a mid-trim equipped version today). Also, Ford Ecoboost engines (and now the 5.0L V8) use a belt driven oil pump which is an engine failure waiting to happen when it fails (which many are starting to). While you can get it inspected and replace it (if you catch it before it fails and destroys your engine), it is a very expensive job to do. No idea why they went this way, there was really no reason to use it, other than to set a timer for a future failure point.

I own a 2022 Ridgeline and have put 55,000km on it and it's been an excellent truck for our lifestyle. We didn't need a full size truck anymore so we drove all the mid size trucks and the Honda suited us the best. In my opinion it's also the best handling truck (on road of course) and is very stable and confidence inspiring in winter weather conditions (we live in the Cochrane district) of northern Ontario. We don't go off roading but we probably take ours down more logging roads and bush trails than the average Joe and as long as you don't exceed it's intended use you'll find it capable to accomplish many tasks. If I need to off road I bring my 750 Suzuki King Quad along for the tour.

Big vehicles are no more expensive to make than small vehicles. It takes the same time to bolt the whole thing together. The only difference is the amount of material used, and that's where the price difference comes. Hence, the F150 is only slightly dearer.

Too bad the bed is completely useless. Regular or extended cab please.

[@batfury9319]

If Ford offered the Ranger as an extended cab pickup I would consider it because I really like the Ranger over the new Tacoma but I just don’t need or want a four door truck. Don’t get me wrong I think it looks good but it’s like owning a big car with an exposed trunk. This is the reason why I still have my old 1989 Toyota extended cab pickup with the 4 cylinder it works for me as my every day vehicle. Trucks today are just too big and expensive with all their electronic gadgets that you know will go bad one day and be very expensive to repair once the warranty is up. For now I’ll just hold on to my old simple, reliable and easy to work on Toyota pickup that still looks good and it’s still going strong. If I was to buy a new truck today I would look into the Nissan Frontier King cab. As for the push button starter, I’ve lived without it in all my vehicles for many years and having a key is ok with me.

Love the Ranger but will wait until they offer HUD and ventilated seats before looking to buy one.

[@IKnewMickey]

Does the key make it slightly harder to steal? Also, the second gen 2.7L has the wet belts. That's a Deal breaker for me as we had a ford in the family with the wet belt failure resulting total engine failure. Lease this truck yes. Buy this truck no way Jose.

[@dachta1]

I don`t really bother if I have to use the key, but, there is no reason to use a key paying that price range

[@davidjym]

everything is grossly overpriced after the pandemic !!!

[@liveoak7838]

Frontier the only other with a v6? what about the gladiator? it has a v6 and is midsized. leaving the Ridgeline out on purpose

[@andreaspencer9813]

Yes you are right!

[@markcomisky7106]

You can get the Ford performance kit and get 45hp extra only drawback you got to use premium gas...

[@allantilley3716]

Careful what you wish for with the hybrid in the Ford trucks… look online and see how many issues they are having with that in the F150

[@chuckwalla2967]

Ford knows how to build trucks.

[@bradley7506]

That really looks like an ever so slightly larger version of the Maverick

[@donaldmontgomery9340]

I have a 21 F150 with that 2.7. I get the same or better MPG with a bigger truck. And mine is the XLT Sport package. Just couldn’t justify being in the smaller truck at the same MPG and price point when I bought mine used 60 days ago.

[@charlesmckinnon1436]

You failed to mention the Honda Ridgeline also has a V6. Personally I think the Ridgeline is a nicer truck. What are your thoughts?? Thanks

[@springertube]

Unibody. Apples and oranges.

[@michaeldaniels8556]

Don't let the key issue bother you as its better security wise... Look forward to the Aviator review by you guys as we get ready to order another one for 2025

[@LafemmebearMusic]

That’s also not true it’s still an electronic mechanism that can be overridden by a computer. It’s interesting how on comments people confidently speak on what they don’t know when all I did was read two articles by ford about ford and steering locking mechanisms and how they are mandatory to be electronic even if there’s a key… Also remember the Kia boys? They literally were able to steal cheaper Kia’s that DID NOT have keyless start
