I have two things of note: The FX4 does forego the front air dam, which will increase the effected profile of the truck. I have noticed with my truck (A larger F-150), that every 2-3 mph over 68 results in about the same drop in fuel economy. I made a trip cross country and only managed 17-19 mpg (Depending on wind direction) at 75-75+ mph speed. Whereas a trip to DIA at a Max of 65 yields most often about 24.5mpg. This is something to consider for people who are looking to replace their family vehicle with a pickup. These things are aerodynamic bricks. Wind, tire size, speed humidity, barometric pressure and temperature greatly affect the fuel economy. If you get a leveling kit, or a lift, then you can kiss it goodbye altogether.

My ZR2 does not have an air dam and in fact has attrocious aerodynamics ( at least it looks like it should). But it still exceeds its EPA rating consistently, even if I'm driving over the speed limit, making the aero way more of a factor. Therefore something is very wrong with this Ford Ranger. I don't know what, but something is really fishy

Aero is hardly a factor at legal road speeds. Engine rpms will make a much bigger difference. I went from 205/60r15 tires to a 275/60r15. The new tires were 2" taller and almost twice as wide (28.1"tall x 10.8"w vs 25.9 x 7.5") and weighed more then twice as much as the old tires. My gas mileage at 80mph decreased from 25 mpg highway to 28mpg highway. I also did change out the speedo gear, so it was within 1mph at 80mph with both setups. So with my wider and taller tires, why did I use less gas? The tires being 2" taller added about a 10% overdrive which dropped engine rpms on my 5.0 v-8 by about 300 rpms at 80mph. Elevation really doesn't matter, neither does weight or aero in regular freeway driving. You will spend more gas getting up to speed, but once you get to speed, the increased load is negligible if it even is measureable at all. For me personally, my best gas mileage is when I am towing and loaded down because I decrease speeds to about 55mph. I can go from 28 to right around 35mpg this way. Pretty much every vehicles engine gets better gas mileage at lower rpms, usually within 5-10mph of the highest overdrive gear kicking in. If aero was a huge factor, most vehicles would get better mileage at city speeds. Aero drag squares with every 10mph after 60mph. Before that, it's almost unmesurable.

@@AC-xq4hh There very well could be something wrong with this particular Ranger, as it does happen to be the very same truck they drove cross country with. They could have eliminated a variable by requesting a different truck. It's a small point, but it may have been the whole story. We'll have to see how the truck does on fuelly to have more data points on what it is capable of.

And I believe that drive is done on a dyno? Everything can be "controlled". It is a govt. regulation that they MUST TEST and the results affect them. Real world - you get used to the turbos acceleration -as a result you use it - in fact that goes for any engine - you use what you bought. So to match those factory numbers is near impossible.

I was excited about the coming of the new Ranger, but I assumed they would be significantly more affordable than comparably equipped F-150’s...they’re not..., especially when you account for the fact that you can always get rebates on the F150’s but not on the Rangers. They other thing is, If I’m going to pay only a little less for a smaller truck, it better also get much better fuel economy....which also seems not to be the case. I call the 2019 Ranger a big fat fail for Ford.

Have a '19 Ranger XLT Supercab with 4wd and the 302A package and spray-in bed liner for 6 months now. I just did a 390 mile round trip to Manchester Vt which involved a mix of hills and mountains and a little city. Did highway out from upstate NY and got right about 25 mpg. On the return trip we decided to take a nice scenic drive and about 95% of that drive was on two lane roads through country and small towns. That return trip hit 26.2 mpg. We live in a mountainous area and I've been hitting fairly close to the spec mpgs, either a little under or a little over consistently. Paid a little over $37000 all together and I'm really loving this truck and have zero complaints. This is my fourth Ford truck and the other three were all F150s and I like this the most by far of all of them.

And a bed full of Jasper rock chunks on the latter half of the trip. Average in and around mileage for gas stops and snacks. 23.5mpg. Pretty stoked. Looking forward to seeing how the Ford Performance tune, cold air intake, and softtopper help with the road trip mileage. Aiming for 26mpg.

I noticed that the pump has a sticker indicating that the fuel may contain up to 10% ethanol. That is probably skewing the numbers a bit from the epa rating. Most of the gasoline sold in the U.S. contains up to 10% ethanol-the amount varies by region. All automakers approve blends up to E10 in their gasoline vehicles. As of 2011, EPA began allowing the use of E15 in model year 2001 and newer gasoline vehicles.2 Pumps dispensing E15 must be labeled (see example). A vehicle's owner manual may indicate the maximum ethanol content recommended for it by the automaker. Ethanol contains about one-third less energy than gasoline. So, vehicles will typically go 3% to 4% fewer miles per gallon on E10 and 4% to 5% fewer on E15 than on 100% gasoline. Not sure how much of an impact this has. Some regions may not have any ethanol.

I purchased one of the first 2019 Rangers that hit the ground here in Winston Salem NC. I too have an FX4 Lariat and the first few tanks averaged right at 21 mpg by my own calculations not the trucks. I did have a couple trips that were 90% highway and got over 24 but for the most part 21 was where I landed. I have since put a 2'" lift and 32" tires on the truck and mileage has suffered. I average now around 18 if I am lucky and if it is mostly city, 16.5. Not complaining though because I do love the truck and knew ahead of time doing these mods the mileage would suffer. Mileage also depends greatly on driving style. You said it before "you either get eco or get boost but not both" which is very true of this engine. Stay out of the gas and you can get great numbers, get on it and it drinks like a V8.

I think you guys should try it with the lower octane fuel. You are not at sea level. The higher octane fuel burns at a slower rate, not the best description here. So at your altitude the timing and fuel maps my not adjust in a short drive cycle for it. Also does any car or truck get the same EPA mileage at your altitude. I don't know for sure. What do you guys see with other cars and trucks? As usual, great video and info. Thanks

Had mine a few months now. The quickness is surprising. The more I drive it the more I love it. I had a new Tacoma a few years ago. Sold it after a couple years. It was... fine. I could only afford a two wheel drive version with the baby back seat so for the money my FX4 is just amazing. I hated the start stop and lane keep stuff at first but now that I've figured out when to use it I really like it. I suppose you've also figured out you can have it NOT shut off just by being very easy on the brake pedal? But I use the disable switch in my neighborhood. The Ford app is also really neat. Fingers crossed though on reliability with this engine and trans...!

Have owned 7 F150’s over the years and picked up a 2020 Ranger Lariat FX4. I don’t tow heavy, so I downsized. I agree that I wish they offered the 2.7TT motor. It’s by far my favorite and I’ve owned the 5.0, 2.7 and 3.5 motors. That being said, my 2019 3.5 got 25 mpg max on highway (it was a 2wd Lariat), and I’m getting 28 in my 4wd 2.3L Ranger. That’s going 65 to 70 on flat Texas highways. Bone stock except for a MX4 tonneau and a bug guard. Did I get a ringer? I can’t believe you guys only got 20. Wow.

Interesting, I've never gotten better gas mileage with cruise control on. I bought the new Ecosport a year ago rated 27/29. Without using cruise and normal driving I get the 28 combined. Using cruise ends up at 26 or 27. But if I want to drive for max efficiency, I've gotten 37 mpg out of an entire tank before.

Just bought the new Ranger, and with all the rebates for being a veteran and all the other Ford discounts, I got it for way less than an equally equipped F150, so far my gas mileage has been around 22 mpg, but living in northern California where there are a lot of hills I'd say it's doing pretty good, especially because EPA ratings are at much lower speeds, and in California at least everyone is doing 75mph or more all the time on the freeway. I'm happy with my Ranger.

Best I've gotten was 41 mpg on back roads). She also had a 2015 Charger SE, that averaged 30 - Dodge claimed it would average 25. Can't speak for Ford, because no one I know owns one nor have I ever driven one lol. Edit: Just checked, and the claimed average for the Silverado was 17, not 16.

The new Ranger is a nice truck, I like mine. Yes, too expensive, agreed not enough incentives from Ford. They cost what they cost I guess. A lot of commenters here are saying just get an F150, but that's not an easy answer. I own a 1997 Ranger XLT and have been driving it for the last 17 years. My new Ranger is quite an upgrade over my old one! It seems HUGE to me versus my old Ranger, but still not as big as an F150, and more than capable for what I need. I like Ford, and I like F150's too, but I don't want a fat, massive, huge pig of a truck taking up all my garage space. Yes, they missed the fuel mileage by a few MPG, I'm not gonna worry about it.

That said, if you live in a city and tow light loads and dont own 11 foot long snowmachines this truck might be sufficient. But if you watch the video it was not a "what should you buy" comparison it was a fuel economy video. And the economy is a joke on this for the size and the power.

For Gasoline, winter blend is only 1.7% less energy than summer fuel. That 1.7% energy difference is also counteracted by the higher density of cold gas. You get more gasoline (Energy) per gallon if its colder. The reason you get less is due to cold air, and rich mixtures until engine is warmed up. TFL drives to that gas station so its not like its tested on a cold start. They don't run winter fuel in California when they first picked up and fueled the truck. Its just getting bad mileage every single time.

Our Ranger has been getting about 23-24 on the highway with our RTT on the back, but we also live in Louisiana so it is mostly flat terrain. Around town, its closer to about 18MPG. BUT! We didn't exactly get ours for the gas mileage. A F150 is way too much truck for what we do, it would be too big for the trails that we camp on, and we just plain didn't want one. The Ranger is, and probably always will be, a lifestyle truck. It's for those that want the ability to tow something and throw something in the bed, but don't want to live with the behemoth full sized trucks on the market today. A midsize is a commuter truck, a full size is a status symbol.

Certainly there can be a lot of reasons for the low fuel economy, but the fact that the on-board mpg calculation was so far off from a straight forward hand calculation (by more than 15%) at the very least draws into question the accuracy of any of Ford's information for this truck, and at worst, suggests intentional misrepresentation and fraud. I can't condone this type of false advertising with a purchase. Thanks TFL for your good work in informing the public and please continuing doing so.

Mine gets 24.6mpg on the highway at 70mph and 26.1 at 65mph. This is my second Ranger and both are exactly the same mpg.

I did a trip and back that was over 250miles and after my fill-up, I got 20mpg. I can see this since it's a small motor and was on cruise control without a lot of hill changes or speed change due to traffic. I also have kept an eye on the mpg flex number to get a good mpg but also see if it was really dropping low or reading high numbers for the trip. I was driving 70 just like on the video as well. I have noticed going slower definitely will show a greater number on the flats but like always drop drastically when a upward climb comes about.

Hello again Andre&Nathan! Once again good reporting and nice job, I guess someone has to do it! I need to tell everyone out there, a friend of mine has a new Ranger ZX4,4x4, Crew Cab, that he is also disappointed with the mileage he’s getting, mind you he has less than 1,000 miles so far, but the best he’s getting commuting to work on 20 highway, 5 rural miles daily. He was hopeful for a two gallon round trip! But has not been able to get less than 2.3!! That’s about the same you’re getting! But in my 2016 Colorado Ext Cab Z71,4x4, V6 Six Speed Auto, I cannot get less than 23 at 75 mph! On the trip computer. If I drive the speed limits, say 60-70 mph in Florida mind you that’s fairly flat at sea level I can get 25-26! Or 18 city. The best over a 40 mile stretch of The Overseas Highway in The Keys at night with little traffic, at the speed limits set with cruise control at 40-45 mph I have saved 32.3 mpg on the computer, but verified that at a pump to be certain! I still am amazed at the power and mileage we get, especially when towing our 4,000 lbs Travel Trailer, that over a 4 month,4,500 Mile trip we averaged 15 mpg! That was of course at the speed limits and no cruise control, that while towing gets worst mileage, due to the fact the truck stays in lower gears. If I carefully feather the gas pedal I can keep the truck from down shifting.

The problem is the antiquated EPA standard. It hasn't been revised since the Feds abolished the 55mph national speed limit. EPA needs to start rating vehicles at 65 instead of 55.

@mrvwbug4423
@mrvwbug4423 5 жыл бұрын
fuel economy usually drops at elevation, the engine has to work harder to maintain the same speed, thus uses more fuel. EFI systems can compensate for thinner air somewhat, but still tend to be a tad rich at elevation, hence why most vehicles at 5000ft have sooty tailpipes.

I like the Ranger. Went and test drove one when they fist came out and the rebates were great. Only thing that stopped me is the Ford guy didn't value my Jeep trade enough so I went across the street and bought a Dodge. MPG isn't bad for 70 MPH on that Ranger and it drove like a nice truck and felt like a V6. Sounds horrible inside though, kind of like the old lawn mower sounding Chevy Cavilier. And I'm not so sure about a 10 speed auto, but not many manufacturers are having good luck with their automatics. Except Chrysler with the ZF 8 speed. Nice riding Ranger though.

I'd like to know what specific changes Ford made to the U.S. spec frame. It sounds substantial, saying that "changes to the frame were made", but it could be as simple as re-positioned motor mounts. Also, that mpg computer discrepancy is sketchy AF.

I think the 2.7 would be a good option and have better mpg when towing the same weight. And just have an economy mode for around town when not towing. I own a f150 5.0 coyote and getting anything higher than 16mpg is hard. It would be nice to have a hybrid version of the ranger!

A hybrid version of the ranger that has the same in-bed 7.2kw generator option that the f150 hybrid has would be a game changer... I love 220v outlets out the bed, gives you so many options for using welders, compressors, and other tools off the bed with no extension cord nonsense.
