2019 Ford Ranger XLT SuperCrew FX4|In Depth Review|Test Drive

[@willie9397]

I love this truck people say its dated I personally dont think so, its simple designers dont make it look like they are trying too hard. The interior is fine for me as well, its not overly busy looking like some others everything is where it should be, is it perfect, no way but better than most others. Now power train, awesome, nuf said. Cant wait to get one

[@christopherclark6383]

You did the VERY BEST VIDEO in my opinion for this truck. The info shared, the views of interior and exterior are spot-on. The test drive was steady and comfortable virtually that is. This type of video is a Perfect brochure for a customer.

[@NeighborhoodCarReviews]

Wow!! Thank you so much for those kind words! You’re entire comment is basically the motto that I live by in creating these videos! Again, thank you so much!

[@bonespiel]

This truck really looks good in this color with nice color on the wheels to complement it!

[@charless3112]

I really appreciate how slow and steady you showed the interior of this truck. Other reviewers go way too fast and too up close you really don't get to see much of the truck.

[@NeighborhoodCarReviews]

I appreciate the comment! I really try to focus on everything and I’m glad it’s appreciated!!

Just sat in a ranger again tonight... damn it smells good inside. Too bad mine still isn't here. Getting very impatient

[@danswizzle4113]

I like how you didn’t mention your opinion on anything. All the other reviews kept comparing and crap. You were very simplistic with everything and I appreciate not altering viewers opinions with your own.

[@NeighborhoodCarReviews]

+Dan Swizzle I appreciate that! That has been my method from the get go. I know my opinions, and I know that others have their own opinions. I present the facts, and others can conclude with what they think! Now, sometimes, I may throw a little bit of an opinion regarding how it drives, or certain things that I like, but I’m not going to even attempt to sway someone for or against. Thanks for the comment, and watching!!

[@LiveFreeOrDie76]

Great overview. Was looking at this trim line with the FX4 option at a dealer around 3 hours away. This let me see if it was worth the drive. Really appreciate it.

[@Senerian]

33k for this truck, and throw in the bedliner. 33k total, for all the BS fees they want to include, tax, and title and a closing cost/document fee of no more than 100$. I plan on waiting for 2021 to see the new model re-design and see if we get a v6. Cooperate Ford greed prevents us from having a decently priced Ranger Raptor. Also waiting to see what comes of the investigation into Ford's misleading gas millage. The main selling point on these are gas mileage.

[@miguelguerrero2240]

Psssssssh they need to check into rams misleading gas mileage, i wanted a raptor n they were all marked up and now have a ram rebel, 6 months in and im not liking all the gadgets and electronic gimmicks..just want mean looking truck with workload

Good review. It's weird having gone to IU for 4 years, I know exactly where youre driving are haha

[@danswizzle4113]

To everyone complaining about the price, the 4x2 models are significantly cheaper.. ish. The lariate 4 door... and random added features.... would cost me 480 roughly with a 2k down payment but the 4x4 version adds about 200$ more a month. If I wasn’t a welder I would stick with the cheaper model but I tend to need 4x4 due to the roads... or lack there of. Plus a cheap beach vehicle.

[@Senerian]

Over 40k for a half way decent equipped XLT with a little 4 cylinder motor is BS. They selling same packages for 10k less overseas brand new. So why the big up charge on us? I really like the truck and I need on for what I do, but it’s unaffordable for regular working folks. Trucks are turning into toys for the rich.

[@wilecatrexy]

Some here are saying they're too expensive. You get what you pay for.

[@danswizzle4113]

wilecatrexy they do cost more but people are comparing the older rangers to the newer ones. All these new cars come with more stuff. If you don’t like it, buy a used older model I guess.

[@Davido50]

Ecactly. This truck feels like its built like a tank..in good way. Powertrain Is outstanding! Most tech of any midsize. Best looking in my opinion. New '19 XLT FX4 crew cab in our driveway!

[@smittysmitty481]

Excellent review!

[@godwhomismike]

10:00 - cool - I was curious how the cloth seats looked

[@Davido50]

They are nice an easily cleanable. I have em in my XLT FX4. Love this truck!

[@seanvangster]

for 45k FX4 lariat..it should include full sunroof, all aluminum body like the F150. My dad just bought a 2018 platinum limited F150 for 53k and it has more options then the ranger just 8k more. I was gonna trade my 2016 Colorado z71 for the ranger but now seen how it lack features ill pass..

[@MrClownWorld]

We won’t miss you.

[@jessevaldez4750]

Nice review what is the price for that truck with the fx4 package included ? Thanks

[@NeighborhoodCarReviews]

Thank you! Full pricing and all options installed are listed in the description box!

[@HiPlains1]

On the top trims these get really pricey. Too much IMO and thousands more then loaded Z71's and Tacoma offroads. However, one thing that Ford did right was they made the FX4 package available on all trims. So you could actually get this on the XL and probably pay in the low 30K range. And IMO, the only way to get a good buy/value is to probably go with the XL and load it up. .

Please show the other Ranger 2019 models. Thank you, great job!♡●○•°~

[@HiPlains1]

On the outside, better looking then the lariat. Prefer the grill on this one. Put some offroad steps on it will complete the looks. As for that mid cycle refresh that you speak of I did not like what it did to the outside front end look. My 2014 with a nudge bar in the Fiji Islands was much tougher looking. Also not liking the smallish hvac knobs etc.. on the inside. GM does a much better job on their infotainment and button layout. But this is how Ford lays it out both trucks and cars. The other carry over that should have been fixed was the back seat. Won't fold flat. Only half ways on at an angle. Never understood that. Plus no tail gate assist. At this price point it should. But if I had chose this over the Chevy this model is about what I would have got. Closest to what I had in Fiji. But I also had the 3.2 diesel which was a beast.

[@NeighborhoodCarReviews]

HiPlains1 I like how the Lariat can also have the Sport Appearance Package and not the Chrome.

[@HiPlains1]

@@NeighborhoodCarReviews Still prefer the XLT over that as well. Its the grill treatment. They are all different. XL, XLT, and lariate all have different style grills.

[@NeighborhoodCarReviews]

I have a feeling that when the redesign happens on the Ranger, we will see tailgate assist, the tailgate step as well as other technologies that should be present. I feel that the buttons are a bit small, cryptically labeled and not very cohesive. Now, I do actually like the Ford Sync and FCA Uconnect systems over the GM infotainment systems.

[@HiPlains1]

@@NeighborhoodCarReviews Allot of people think this Ranger is all new model. And Ford did go with a new motor and transmission. Also the steel bumper. But allot of this is still the good old T6 that the Australians developed back in 2012. Ford really didn't commit to bringing this home until a few years back. And when Toy/GM started to sell over 400K units combined on the mid size then Ford could no longer deny the mid size market was dead. At which point they backpedaled and rushed this to market. The interior and exterior looks so much like my 2014 except the front end. And that refresh in 2015 made it look worse IMO. Its still a great truck. And globally it's taken a huge chunk out of Toyota's Hilux market share. I don't think it needs much but the front end really needs redoing again. The tailgate. And also allow the back seat to fold flat. Also clean up the tiny buttons. That has been going long enough on Fords.

Question. Why do some have an engine cover and some don't. Was it removed for the review?

[@NeighborhoodCarReviews]

Interesting. I didn’t remove the cover. I just figured it didn’t have one. Hmm.

[@HiPlains1]

@@NeighborhoodCarReviews Is that a pre production unit? Some of those came without a cover. All the ones on the retail lots should have one.

HiPlains1 Nope. This is a lot-ready unit. Either the service department didn’t put it on during PDI or the factory forgot it. Not really sure.

[@princeodinson3239]

Dated platform?......are u sure about the wading depth measurement???...

[@NeighborhoodCarReviews]

Well, this generation Ranger, while new in The States, is not at all a new vehicle. In fact, the basis of this platform has been around for a while, although modified pretty heavily for our market. Also, water fording depth was researched by the Ford Ranger Press Release and other online media.

[@princeodinson3239]

@@NeighborhoodCarReviews i have a 2019 ranger n the wading depth is 800mm... we have different engine though... i have the 3.2 so maybe the engine design has limited the north american market?

[@NeighborhoodCarReviews]

@@princeodinson3239 That very well could be. They had to modify the frame and components to meet our crash requirements and such, so, it could be different.

@@NeighborhoodCarReviews thank u so much for this info... i love this truck because its the perfect size to go beach hunting and offroading when the trail is narrow... n the low down torque gets u up those slopes... river crossing is another huge plus... i don't see me having as much fun with a f150 but this at the end of the day just comes down to functionality for the individual.

[@Weakest_Bulgarian]

Guess you didn't test drive it

[@seadoo4life727]

I really wanted to get this truck until I saw all of the epic fails. Why would the rear seats not fold down in a 60/40 split? Or even better they don’t fold down at all so if you want to store something or pick something up you have to lay it on the floor which is not flat and you can’t have someone in the back.. why did they not put a hydraulic in the rear tailgate? Where the hell is the sunroof? I swear these manufacturers just don’t think when they bring things to market meanwhile they should’ve just looked at other manufacturers and see what they’re doing right and what they’re doing wrong. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@ZCAR355]

Seadoo4life and don’t forget about the manual rear glass. My 2012 150 FX4 had power. I’ve never really taken the time to get in the back seat to open and close a manual sliding rear glass.

[@steved1880]

Stanley Kania while the Taco is nice and is reliable, it’s also a gas hog, it’s gutless and too small inside (I’m 6’4” 210 lbs). It’s an old antiquated engine and transmission. Rangers have a reputation of being very reliable to be factual. The new Ranger has: -good MPG -best in class towing -More interior room than any truck in its class -highest torque in class (except Colorado Duramax Diesel)

Former Ranger owner (3 of them). I been waiting for the new one for quite a long time. I just test drove the new 2019, and the results are in.......JUNK! What a disappointment, the engine is too weak and the 10 speed transmission is always shifting. The only thing I really love is the looks, very sharp looking. I would never buy this, unless the put in a new engine V6.

[@scottfurlong5475]

As a guy who has tested the 2019 Tacoma, Ridgeline and Ranger, I have to say you seem to have very lofty expectations. I felt that the ranger engine pulled real hard and that's also the opinion of the automotive press. It certainly isn't lazy like the Tacoma. No one shopping in this segment is looking for big power, they are looking for fuel economy and I experienced 10.6L/100km (22.2 mpg) after one hour of mixed driving and I got into the throttle several times because the truck is quick. As far as the 10-speed transmission goes, it does shift around a lot but its almost imperceptible. It has twice the gears as most of the competition and keeps the engine in the sweet spot, I thought it was a superbly calibrated setup. The tech is not new and the back folding seat is BS but otherwise a great little package. It kinda looks like they just quickly put something together so they could get a piece of the mid sized truck pie but it still brings something significant to the table.

[@Shakerhood69]

Its also smaller and priced higher than the segment leader Tacoma, that rear seat is disappointing as is the lack of power sliding rear window, no sunroof option, no manual transmission, no NA V6, and no 4 door long bed.

[@scottfurlong5475]

@@Shakerhood69 I agree with you on those points but Ford is clearly using their global Ranger to get back into the North American mid sized market. All the others sell long box crew cabs so ford will be on that at a later date. As far as far as the V6 goes, I don't see an argument for it right now. I'm not a turbo fan but that Ranger outperformed the Tacoma during my seat time and I'm not talking about racing around, I'm talking real world left and right sharp turns, up and down hills, stop and go traffic. The Ranger was just better to drive and I didn't hit my head on the ceiling once.
