The All-New Ford Ranger is a HUGE Upgrade - Here's Why!

Today, we're taking a detailed look at the All-New 2024 Ford Ranger! There's a lot of differences that are automatically apparent on the outside of the 2024 Ranger. A lot is different, the frame is different, the sheet metal is different, and much more. Starting off with the hood, the 2024 Rangers hood is not as slanted as the previous generation. Next for the headlights you have a new C design with projector led headlights. The grille is completely different as well as has a camera so you now get the 360 camera. Onto the side, the fenders are more flared out than the previous generation. Next to the rear end of the vehicle, you will notice upgraded steps, tail lights, Ford logo, lights, tailgate, towing, etc.
For the interior you get an upgraded center console, dashboard, steering wheel, center console shifter, instrument cluster, low flat floor, and more.
The new Ranger is 1.9 inches longer on the overall wheelbase and 2.5 inches wider than the previous version. Lastly, there is one thing that does carry over from the previous generation of the Ranger and it is the 2.3 liter, four cylinder EcoBoost. But Ford has listened and they have also given us the ability to have a 2.7 liter EcoBoost v6. But also there is the 3L Ecoboost out of the Ranger Raptor.

[@primeechoes8297]

I love how “bigger masculine aggressive front end” is being justified as a reasonable alternative/upgrade on the new Ranger to “being able to see over the hood of your truck is feminine” on the old Ranger lmfao. There is no doubt that the new design looks much nicer, but that line of justification says everything about the state of modern truck design and marketing. Form over function and appearance over safety. I own a 2021 XLT and the ability to see over most of the hood and easily nose it in when parking is seriously underrated.

[@harbingertheheretic3541]

Remember the 2001-2003 F-150 Supercrew? People joked about the sloped hood & rounded front end being a "ladies truck," but it had better visibility & got better MPG than the 2005 Supercrew. Had both in the family, and I'd buy the older truck if I ever saw it for sale.

[@chadgraber4575]

Exactly. I have a 2019 built into an overland rig. Great site lines and visibility.

Totally agree. And I don't think the new one looks "no doubt much nicer". It looks pretty similar. And the old one looks ZERO percent feminine. He's just a sales guy selling a product. Ignore him.

[@jacaro2012]

So aerodynamics is a feminine issue in the design of a car? That was a absurd statement indeed. The Ranger is not a very competitive vehicle in its market segment, a very simple fact. 🙄

The Ranger used to be reasonably priced and good for many uses. Lots of small businesses used them around here but people can’t afford them anymore. No single cab option along with many other things make them another amenity most average people can’t afford. Ford does make single cab, diesel, manual transmission rangers in other countries but we can’t have them in the USA

[@jensendkmg7209]

@@Jay-bw3fl But that's the point. Whats the value proposition here? If you need lightweight truck duty, the maverick is cheaper, does just as good for 95% of uses, is a hybrid and is cheaper. What does the ranger offer? I can get a ~2019 f150 with about 60K miles for 29K if i need a truck for real truck stuff. Why bother? Ranger is totally pointless.

[@Jay-bw3fl]

@@jensendkmg7209 an f150 with 60k miles is hardly the same as a brand new truck with full 5 year 60K miles factory warranty. Lol. I said apples to apples not apples to oranges because I knew someone would make a dumb comparison like that. A ranger is more capable than a maverick and cheaper and easier to live with in a city than an f150. Ford is filling all gaps in their line up and it makes sense whether you like it or not. Maverick starts at 23k Ranger starts at 32k F150 super cab starts at 38k It’s not complicated

[@CookieManCookies]

I find this rather hilarious, I selected build my own ford ranger lariat, with base options, nothing fancy, it's $46k. The one I bought (in 2019) has some additional options; STX Chrome Package, Towing Package, and a electronic locking differential. I paid $37k out the door. Literally $10k less than what you claim is the "budget" friendly Ranger. I think ford is gunna go out of business. Almost every car around me has a "market adjustment tax" making every car they sell not worth buying.

[@godshandbigfootofalabama4686]

So at 61 years old, I've had a variety of trucks. My last "truck" was a 2019 Ranger XLT for 32K. It took a bit to get used to the porpoising feeling and I wasn't sure about it overall. And then....I got lost in the Talledega Nat'l forest... The Nav showed roads that were old logging roads from maybe the 1950's (?) to give you an idea of the bad conditions. That little truck didn't miss a beat ! HUGE ruts filled with water and mud, loose gravel winding turns and everything in between. A heavy truck would have sank ! I ended up averaging 23.5 mpg, pulled a camper everywhere and did a lot of remodeling with it too....All with ZERO issues. If I need another truck, I won't think twice about buying another Ranger. PS: I HAMMERED that little 2.3 liter like I stole it ! LOL

[@Foxbody302]

I wouldn’t hesitate either! But the only problem I have is the 2nd generation 2.7 EcoBoost found from 2018-present is the fact it has a rubber oil pan belt. When I found out it had that I was furious. Luckily I have a 17 and it has a chain driven oil pump.

[@elliot3751]

I think it looks good. I wish they still had a Super Cab or atleast just a Regular 2-Door Cab. Not a fan of the Crew Cab. I’d rather have a longer bed.

[@elliot3751]

⁠@@slmjakeIF I could!!! I probably would purchase it lol. Not much of a hauler or truck fan however but I do live on a farm and in country roads. I usually travel in my regular Sedan when going out but when I have to take stuff into the farm I usually take an old-old Chevrolet S10 Manual with around 250,000 miles on her. Definitely a great little truck but eventually I will upgrade and I’m looking at these Rangers and Tacomas.

I wouldn’t buy a Maverick, because it didn’t offer a long bed with 2 doors. I bought the ‘23 Ranger just in time by the sound of it.

I think it looks cool. But the standard extras (premium style headlights) just give car companies more things to upcharge their vehicles for.

[@jeffreycormier3864]

You kept saying "Ford did this to save money" or "did that to save money" and that's great because as a global version of the truck, it should cost less. But who does it cost less for? Ford or the consumer? What is the price of an outgoing FX4 compared to the new FX4? I'd love to know considering the only thing car manufacturers have been consistent with is raising the cost of their vehicles year over year. This vehicle should be the same price or cheaper than the outgoing model, but I'm willing to bet that not only will this not be the case but the new one will actually cost buyers MORE.

[@spyder000069]

If you compare the spec dimension of the 2024 Ranger and F150 its only around 4 inches different in height and width. Weight is only a few hundred pounds different as well. Seems like its losing its "mid-sized" charm while also losing its "mid -sized" price. Makes me miss my 2000 era ranger which was still more truck than the maverick without over stepping into full size territory.

[@BillLaBrie]

Sums it up perfectly.

[@jaylapointe1654]

Keep in mind that weight is close because the f150 is aluminum.

[@BlueOvals24]

The "small" trucks like the Maverick seem to be the new midsize. Meanwhile midsize trucks seem to be no different than fullsize. I almost feel like they're trying to kill off midsize trucks in favor of this new breed of small trucks.

I had a 2019 Ranger with the tow package and it had *no* problems towing a double-axel landscaping trailer for my wife's landscaping company. (Traded my Ranger for a 2022 Bronco in Sept., 2022, so I don't have it anymore.) I can't imagine the 2024 Ranger with that same tow package would be any different. It was *quite* surprising how easily that truck handled so much weight behind it. Very well-designed.

Great video and the truck looks great. Needs rear vents for passengers comfort. They keep making each update bigger which I don't like. They keep going bigger and pretty soon they won't fit in a standard parking spot. Even if I could afford a new f150 I won't buy one due to its size. I may feel that way about the Ranger when I get to see the 2024. The old Ranger was the perfect size for me except no crew cab available. They need to do something about pricing. Most the Americans that I know would be pushing it at $30k & higher. $20-25k might be doable.

I really hope the new Ranger does well over in the US. Its a big seller in australia and they've got a nice supply of aftermarket options for it over there. I'd love to see it supported like that over here. Still think its wild they're not doing a Tremor package tho.

[@dallasfrost1996]

The new Ranger will do fairly well I'd say, though the Tacoma will probably remain king of mid-size trucks in the U.S. The new Colorado/Canyon twins are very nice as well and offer more features than the U.S spec Ranger... A little disappointing for the Ranger. The Temor package will most likely debut later on, it'll mimic the Wildtrak.

[@nordlandak6853]

I like the look of the old ranger. Couple years ago you could get one around 36k with discounts. Xlt fx4 package. Not worth 10 to 12 k more

One of the best showcasings of this vehicle to date. Great job. I have to say that I am not thrilled with the front end design, but the rest looks great. There is something to be said for a definitive front bumper for a masculine appearance on a truck. Hence the Ranger Raptor design. It seems super lazy not to delete buttons for feautures the vehcile doesn't have. That, along with the empty hole where the rear vents should be. I look forward to seeing what aftermarket parts come out for front end appearance.

From the sound of it, this iteration of the Rangers should be more affordable…cheaper, since it’s an international Ranger. But when I build one, it sure seems to be just as, or more, expensive than the outgoing gen. Call it like it is…there will be no cost-savings passed down to the consumer.

You mentioned how they saved money by keeping parts from the global Ranger. You failed to mention what Ford decontented from global Ranger: 4A transfer case, rear seat vents, ventilated front seats, in dash pop out cupholders. Upgraded transmission?? 2023 Ranger 10R80-590 lbft capacity, 2024 Ranger 10R60-443lbft capacity, and a price increase of 10%. I don't think this will change Tacoma dominance in midsize, especially with the changes/features on the 2024 Tacoma.

[@nickwad]

I think the 10R80 finally ditched because of its design flaws. Maybe the 10R60 will be an improvement, I hope. Right how I have 56k miles on my 10R80 and its clunking and popping at certain speeds, yet i have cared for the vehicle like my own child.

I have to have at least a 6’ bed as our truck is used mainly for work around our property. Before adding a K&N intake and a FlowMaster 3” exhaust system, I was getting 19mpg with the cruise set on 75mph, I’m now getting 23mpg. It has custom 2 tone paint, (Silver over Red metallic), custom upholstery, (Red with black trim and stitching), LimeX spray in bed liner, tonneau cover, rear air shocks, running boards, dashboard cover, window vents and only 36K miles. With the new Ranger being a double cab, it has only a Useless 5’ bed. The Toyota Tacoma double cab is available with a 6’ bed and is more reliable than Ford. Most of us who own pickups use them for hauling so the wimpy 5’ bed is Worthless.

Hmmm, what is the payload on the actual truck in this video? ;) I am impressed with the interior upgrades. The powertrains are solid. I am underwhelmed with the exterior. I have never been a Canyon/Colorado fan until 2023. GM has hit a home run inside and out with the new Colorado/Canyon. The new Tacoma is looking amazing with the exterior, interior, and under the hood, including a hybrid option. Perhaps the Ranger exterior will look less pedestrian in person? The Frontier is a fine truck as well as the Ridgeline. I think Ford should have done more with the Ranger. Again, it is on my list, but??? Oh, and as far as Ford simplifying choices, I have used the configurator and it looks to me that they have less choices in order to keep the prices higher. I don’t believe that fewer options means a lower price.

[@Sp3rmWizrd]

Only the tacoma and the ranger interest me, ranger with the 2.7l will absolutely be the fastest truck (aside from the raptor but I doubt the difference is that significant once tuned). Gmc and chevy have nice cosmetics but not really the power that the ranger has nor the reliability of the tacoma.

This guy was actually knowledgeable about the truck. I learned a few new things about the Ranger despite obsessing over it for the past few weeks.

[@Aaronm123]

That's his dealership

[@jedielder7970]

Pricing? I owned a Ranger years ago and loved it then... looks like a good truck now. Thanks for the video.

[@sterlingbingham7975]

I hate the fact that all new Ford models are unicorns! Not one dealer has any of what anybody wants on the lot. I miss the old days of the 2000s. As always love your vids!

[@chrisbynum4940]

I wish it had an extended or single cab version for fleet and work truck use. You can spec a F 150 single cab work truck for the same money as a base Ranger. For fleet operators the F 150 will probably be a better choice.

[@freedomisntfree_44]

This thing has needed that 2.7! It’s a rocket in the f150, I bet this thing will be quick 🤙🏽

[@Foxbody302]

I like that it had it too! Only bad design I know with that engine is the rubber oil pump belt. I’m lucky I have a 17 f-150 with the 2.7 that has a chain driven oil pump belt.

Hey.....I live in Ontario Canada and was wondering why the are none at any dealership's around??? I would like to get in one before I drop the money to buy one.

[@kevinhassellof0930]

Outstanding walkaround!

[@Pontiacse93]

I really love the new ranger look

[@CyberSamurai4Life]

Longer bed option please.

[@CraigG21]

Is the 4A (4wd automatic) mode not available on the new Rangers here in the US? It seems to be available in other parts of the world (Australia for instance). It’s notably absent on the rotary dial at the 6 o’clock position.

[@angrybadger8136]

I can already see some gears turning.. can't wait to see someone make a reg cab layin rocker on bags & big wheels

[@DieselRebel]

I don't know if there is much difference from Canada (where I am) to the USA, but we're getting screwed here on choices. A fully loaded Lariat is 63k Canadian, and the Raptor is another 20k over that. For me, I hate chrome, and there is no black wheel option on the lariat, and the paint choices are garbage. The raptor green should be on all lines. To pick what I want, I'd have to have a hybrid between the XLT and Lariat. Ford is a joke of a shell of it's former self.

[@jkfaulkner]

Well equipped XLT or Lariat is still $50K. Not seeing how that global architecture is reducing cost.

[@onefastr6]

Well equipped XLT(w/FX4) is $41,800. Not sure what you consider “well equipped.”

[@gregferris9378]

I would like to know if it has a trailer break controller on all levels, xl XLT also

[@MichaelWolfrom]

These reviews are the best.

[@jimmyr1683]

I wish we could get push button start across all trims. Not just the Lariat

[@fogit4668]

But what about those that want a super cab and don’t like the crew cab because of it giving you a smaller bed?

Then you buy something else instead 😂

[@Spyke-lz2hl]

Love my Ranger. Perfect small truck!

[@timraber6575]

I purchased the GMC Canyon 4 door over six years ago before the Ranger came out. I like my truck due to the longer bed to help me in my small yard mowing business. I have been watching that same style in the Ranger line, but now they will cut that model out!!!!!????? This problem is why I have been forced out of the new truck market many years ago. Prices too high and they don’t make the model I could afford. It’s not just a Ford problem.

[@ddreese]

The change in the front end I think has more to do with EU pedestrian safety standards

[@broeheemed32]

Released as a "compact" truck, they're already getting longer, wider, taller. I expect in a couple more years, they'll be as big as a 2012 F-150, and that mandatory 10-speed transmission will be a 20-speed. Or a CVT.

Out going rangers front end looks 100x better than the new, I’d buy a new arb bumper as soon as I could if I bought one

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

I do love this new truck’s design and I would definitely own one of them! It’s beautiful, in my opinion. Ford knows how to build great trucks except when they push their new engines too hard.

[@chiefman8316]

Blame Washington D.C. Dems forcing these engines on us, not Ford, Gov wants us to drive E/V

I can't find the newsletter signup link on your website. Can you link it here>?

[@tomearly111]

I like many of the upgrades however just like GMC and Chevy Ford is not offering a long bed option on the Ranger. When I bought my Colorado that was checked off as the first prerequisite of my midsize truck purchase. Looks like I'm going to have to keep my truck in great condition if I want to keep that option. It looks like even Toyota is only offering the 6' bed in the extra cab now as well. All us crew cab long bed lovers only choice now is the Nissan Frontier.

[@es-qf2gw]

@tomearly111 my biggest disappointment is no manual transmission option for North American market!!! Thats the main reason why Im going for the Toyota Tacoma even though I do like the ranger better

[@Allegronaut]

It's better looking than the last model, but the Colorado & Canyon look much better.

[@spyder000069]

And most importantly they are available. Same thing with the Frontier.

The reason ford cancelled the extended cab is because statistically speaking, nobody bought them.

We were just walking your lot in Pell City on Sunday ( 02-25-24). My wife is actually in the market for a Bronco Sport. Are there other trim levels available now? Like, XLT, or Sport? Thanks.

The biggest deal breaker with the Ranger is the lack of rear vents. I wpn't buy it for this very reason. Ford made a big mistake trying to save $200.

[@onefastr6]

Only 1 mid size has rear vents so enjoy that Chevy. 🤷‍♂️

[@tholbrook422]

Wish it had PIDI just like the new Mustang Ecoboost well on the 4 cylinder. Other than that, seems pretty nice. Pervious Ranger is a choice for me.

[@realtalk5931]

Looks nice enough. Nothing glaring. Good job

[@DarkRelms1]

i had a 19 ranger and loved it the only problem was the fuel economy was crap. the 2.3 was not enough motor for the weight of the vehicle to get good fuel milage.

[@DATDesign]

Had a 21 Ranger. Dumped it and got a 21 Taco. The new front bumper is fugly... and no that hood isn't any higher. The top of headlights are lower on the previous gen, that's it. And that rear emblem. . . Holy belt buckle Batman. Also, no 6' bed option or manual trans. Will say the Raptor is hot stuff, but beyond what I'd ever pay for a mid size, don't care it's offroadiness. I'm excited for my next gen Taco though.
