Ford discontinued the Ranger in 2012 hoping brand loyalty would lead to more F150 sales and insure the F series would remain #1. When Ford realized Ranger buyers were switching to GM and Toyota they realized they needed to bring back the Ranger. The 2.3 - 4 cylinder was the only engine offered to insure the new Ranger would not take sales away from the F150. If ford would have put the 2.7 - 6 cylinder Ecoboost in the Ranger it would have sold like crazy and taken F150 sales. The prime directive for any manufacturer should be market share and build what the consumer wants. The Board of Directors does not seem to understand this simple concept.

[@MuneShadow1]

There are older models of the Ford Ranger that were well built, if an individual really MUST have one. However, it's near impossible to find an early model Ford Ranger in pristine condition and most of them are just beyond repair; so it's not for anyone, unless they have a lot of time and money in restoring the truck. In addition, some sellers who own their own Ford Rangers have grown too attached and sentimental; been in the family for decades, passed down from generation to generation, what have you.

But quite frankly if they did sell it with that diesel I would totally buy it with it and use it as a work truck

"turbo charged engines are less reliable as they age.." I'm pretty sure most diesel engine these days have turbos. And I'm pretty sure every engine is less reliable as it ages.

[@jongruen7854]

Diesel engines typically last longer with proper maintenance. They are built much heavier than gas engines. Typically have more oil capacity, more cooling capacity, and usually run for many more miles than gas.

[@RedWingsninetyone]

@@jongruen7854 I agree with that, but that's my point. With proper maintenance just about anything can last. Just a few years ago Scotty was raving about the EcoBoost engines because they have metal parts and not "cheap plastic." Now he's against them but hadn't actually given any specifics other than that he doesn't like forced injection and gives some generic reasons. He hasn't given any examples that he's actually seen (or at least I haven't found a video where he does.)

[@jongruen7854]

@@RedWingsninetyone I believe his issue is the high pressure direct cylinder injection. This doesn't have fuel in the intake track to aid valve cooling. A slightly different subject.

Ford finally told him he would have to live with it Small displacement producing large horsepower equals less life in my opinion.

@@jongruen7854 I believe Ford, particularly the new ones, use oil to cool the turbos and I believe uses pretty thin oil. I definitely believe you about displacement, but I'm trying to assess how much difference it will make in the long run. My next truck will be the F150 and I'm trying to decide, but there's hardly any data on the long term of the engines other than that the 3.5 has been around for a while.

99 Suburban had the Mitchell seat, with a Taumel type single side recliner (rotary handle, with spring loaded tapered eccentric). Those seats had a bad habit of creeping back to a certain point, determined by the position of the eccentric. In addition, the attachment bolts to the seat base and back can loosen, which increases the chance of fatigue breakage. As if that wasn't bad enough, the seat back frame is made of tubular steel, and at the bottoms of the side tubes, they were slipped into a slightly bigger tube, with a couple tack welds holding them in. If you've ever noticed a bed like squeak coming from the seat, that's the culprit, tube in tube friction as the cause. As if that weren't bad enough, we at the recliner supplier (Dirty Harry White, an engineer, and I) called the Mitchell seat the "lawn chair," due to the flimsy seat back frame. If I bought one of those Suburbans, I'd go to the auto parts yard, and buy a pair of real seats. BUWAHAHA.

My friend bought one. It’s been in shop 7 times for transmission issues. It’s only got 3000 miles on it.

hey scotty what are your thoughts on the Acura rsx type s and how much do you think it’s worth

[@max7768]

Scotty talk a lot of trash about the Ecoboosts but I've rarely heard problems with them

[@carterdavis2793]

I hear about problems with them all the time where I live... Especially with the high horsepower 4 cyl Ecoboosts. My cousin had a Focus ST that had small metal particles in the oil and then he got an RS that ended up needing a new head gasket.

My son had a crown vic ex police cruiser. It still had the pusher on the front. Biggest problem was when driving in traffic the person in front of you would slow down to 10 mph less than the speed limit..LOL.

The ford ranger in america could have been made with a 5 cylinder 3.2 liter turbo diesel

[@gregrowe1168]

The 3.3 V6 would have been a good choice too.

@@gregrowe1168 true and why don't they sell the 2018 ford ranger wild track

[@MrTheguywiththemoney]

Ford doesn't listen to its customers. People have been saying build a v-6 ranger, also have manual transmission option. But they just care about the European fuel standards.

[@jalegacyone]

Im over ford infact its been about a decade since my 2008 mustang. I now see how people love honda. Saves tons of money on gas and it packs a punch not bad.

[@cpufreak101]

If I remember right, Ford confirmed no other engine options for the Ranger will be coming as it "competes too much with the F-150", this claim holds salt if you read the payload and towing numbers of the overseas models and compare it with a V6 F-150

[@MrTheguywiththemoney]

@@cpufreak101 some people don't want to drive something as large as an f150 tho... I just bought a frontier because I didn't like the size of the f150 or the drivetrain of the ranger

Hey Scotty, love the videos. What is your opinion on the 2014 Ford Focus ST?

[@johnweiland9389]

Dual clutch transmission is a nightmare. Difficult to drive with no working repair.

Hi Scotty, Since the Ranger is a GDI engine, do you recommend a catch can system and if so, what brand. Thank you.

[@gmc4150]

Hi Scotty 🙋‍♂️

[@jasonnav9969]

The Asian/Australian version of the rangers are 5 cylinders, not 4 like the states. Still own one for years and have friends who own them, very reliable Ute.

Probably talking about the diesel. I

[@veganwally]

Your cat is a great addition to your videos.

[@Invader501st]

Yeah so a 2019 ford ranger owner here. Saying to not always be flooring it and changing the oil at 5k to 6k is common sense for ANY car. I dont care if you have a really a reliable car, always flooring it will kill any engine. Also they barley released to the US market so scotty hasnt had a chance to see the reliability. Yes other cars have those engine but they're actually reliable engine so not sure what hes talking about.

[@ronaldhickman9953]

Do not wait until 5-6K miles to change the oil....this is bad advice...monitor your oil condition and change it before it gets dirty.,..

[@Invader501st]

@@ronaldhickman9953 I mean all my vehicles I've owned I changed the oil at 5 to 6k and they all still run great. That works for me, but it all depends how you use and treat your vehicle. 3k mile oil changes is over kill in my opinion.

peepeestorm I rented one not too long ago. Both my wife and myself also absolutely hated it. It was boring, under powered, and the engine made a whole lot of noise. Toyota is no better than most other car makers. I’ve had my share of troubles with them.

[@Peepeestorm]

@@PumaPete something similar to be but instead I was helping my girlfriend shop for cars. Test drove the Camry XSE and even with it's V6 it felt so underpowered and slow. A lot of the plastic also felt super cheap to the touch. We also test drove a Corolla XSE and same thing; boring and slow.

[@mrwonderful2081]

The ranger has the same engine as the Ecoboost mustang, no one has ever complained about those engines.

[@Moebamba22]

True but the Ford is a way smaller vehicle, and the rangers are still relatively new since they came out in 2019(the new ones)

[@lelandgaunt9985]

Yes sir! Right with the canyon and Colorado!

[@xineohpinakc264]

My dad has one of the older rangers from 1991. The engine runs almost like new but, the body is full of dings and the interior has started falling apart. It would be nice if there was a new body to throw the engine into because it lasts forever.

Nice looking truck, would still pick an f150 though.

Is there really a point with the new Ranger? It's almost the same size as the F150 and almost the same price... You can get a mid-trim F150 with 4WD for the price of a loaded Ranger.
